What Good Is Doing All This Work?

I woke up in a really good mood today and feel a surge of positive energy after feeling like my mind and body have been out of sync for about a week. I'm feeling great and want to focus on the rewards of doing all this work.

So, my question for you is, "What positive things are you experiencing in regards to this new life committment to yourself?"

I'll start with two:
feeling more mentally alert
fitting in the seat at the movies Saturday night

I'm meeting a challenge -- I always enjoy that.


I sleep better (from the exercise)


I enjoy my food more, believe it or not.

Well, I sleep better (and snore less, I'm told)
and I feel better about myself (which I think adds a "glow" to oneself)

What a great post! I want to see everyone respond to this! We need positive affirmations in our lives!

Mentally, physically or at the mall? :o)


I've been on my journey since 1January2002.

It's helping me separate myself from my childhood view of myself to a much healthier adult view - and God influenced! :o)

My body is getting stronger and reacting poorly when I treat it poor and beautifully when I treat it beautiful. :o)

One great thing is feeling better about myself when I eat healthy and exercise. I feel like I look better in clothes, even if I haven't lost any weight at that time. I also think that exercising helps me feel more relaxed and happier on a daily basis.
