Buff

It is amazing to me that I have not lost one pound with all this exercising. Granted losing weight was not the point, being healthy was the goal. But it would be nice to slim down....or at least I used to think. My closet system fell down and I am having to build another system. Yesterday I was lifting something and happen to glance in the mirror. I looked buff!!! I may not have lost weight, but I've got muscle. There is a definition to my calves, thighs, biceps and shoulders that was not there before. I'm solid. Also, I've been carrying shelves and panels up and down the stairs without getting short of breath. That is awesome, considering 6 years ago, I was on 5 inhalers and steroids for asthma. I'll take being healthy any day over being sick. I don't care about the weight, I'm thrilled to be so fit at fifty. Thanks to the whole King Tiger Family for helping me get to this point!!!

Happy September
