This is a an awesome thing: things are getting easier. Like what? Well, after exercising for a few months now, I can report that physical tasks are not as hard as they were before. For example, I clean an office once a week, and used to have to rest while doing it. Not anymore. I put my headphones on and go, therefore getting done quicker, and moving aerobically. It's not a hard job, but it was at over 300 pounds and being a couch potato.
I am no longer a potato.
Also, my clothes are fitting better, even if the pounds are moving slowly. I've lost 20, but I want to lose a lot more than that! I have to remember that I'm working out at the gym on my muscles, and muscle weighs more than fat, so I am happy that I am gaining muscle. I went to the gym the other day, and not only did I double my time on the treadmill, to ten minutes (I know, but I have a weak ankle). Also, I use it to get my heart rate up, and then I do the machines, with my heart rate staying high enough to burn calories. I can feel my abs now, and my arms and legs are stronger.
The weight is such a burden.
I saw a girl, must have been in her twenties, at the gym on the pull-ups bar. She was going to town on that thing, and she must have done a hundred of them.
I'll be that strong. One day.

If I jump I can almost make one pull up. But I'm not there yet either!
