Man I feel like a million bucks

[momtomany1]

(Read a 'health guide' book by that title years ago..."Feel like a Million" or something like...good book.)

I haven't lost a pound in ages. My measurements haven't even changed that much lately. I am comfortable in my clothes, I still want to be smaller but a 12 is such an improvement! I have to mentally check if I am too comfortable and am being lazy about my 'plan'...

But for REAL, I feel like a million dollars. I NEVER get winded. I feel so alive! I have serious muscles in my legs, booty, back, arms...I feel so darn STRONG! Hardly any 'gooshy' fat in my upper arms, my skin is glowing, even the skin on my legs looks 'clearer,' more even in tone, I had a few visible veins that are fading, (why? better circulation?) Double chin seriously smaller,

When I make a fist, my lower arm feels 'sinewy' and tough, like I could take on anyone. What was a marshmellowy puffball is now toned!

I get 'sleepy' when it is time to rest, but I never feel 'tired.' It is so awesome!

I love Atkins....

Me too!! Nice, positive post! Thank you!

I had a fairly recent whooshie and let me tell ya, the fairy ain't hangin around anymore!! BUT I'm really beginning to realize I LOOK GREAT! I also feel great!! I've got a lot going on with my muscles and my shape. The scale isn't changing much but people all around me are noticing many major changes in my body! My veins are beginning to really "pop" and I know that has everything to do with shedding fat and building muscle by lifting weights. I'm by no means a skinny minny but even in the mid 180's, I look healthy and fit! Believe me, I have to focus on this often when the scale is not my friend!

Your post points out yet another positive result of this WOL. It's not just about the pounds lost and sometimes the inches don't budge either but the science of our diet is making magic happen inside us all the time!! I've never felt that about any other way of eating....EVER!! It's rewarding to know there are still benefits paying us back even when some of the results are not what we want to see. It's another terrific reason to stick with it, no matter what!! Nice post, momtomany1!!
