Changed my "bio image" today.
I've been on vacation this past week and spent much of that time hiking...of all things! :) I discovered that activity is a heck of a lot easier when a person isn't carrying around nearly 50 lbs of extra fat. And more importantly, it is incredibly fun! I had a blast visiting several national and state parks in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, exploring miles of trails, and seeing numerous waterfalls. While on the trip, I found it surprisingly easy to keep up with a 14-year-old, even though I'm in my 40s, but I seriously doubt I would've been able to accomplish what I did this past week had we gone on the trip six months ago.
This weight loss has given me so much more energy, a renewed love of the outdoors, and a zest for life beyond the sofa.
