Feeling good right now

I had my third meeting with my trainer, JD, today and the last couple of times I have actually felt sore from the weight work out. I am excited that I lost 5 pounds last week and that makes me want to work even harder. My kids talked me into going to get ice cream at Macey's on Saturday and instead of getting the usual King Kong ice cream; I got the medium instead. It feels good not to feel like I am over full all of the time.

I didn't relaize how bad off I I really am

I spent last week with the Boy Scouts at a High Adventure camp called Entrada in Moab. Thursday Morning we did a 5 hour 14 mile mountain bike ride on a trail called "Metal Masher". About half way through, I was wishing I was done. I pushed the bike more than riding. This was a major reality check for me and I want to some day do that ride without pushing the bike up the hills. We also did some hiking in Arches National Park. I had a guy 10 years older than me kicking my but on all the trails. In the past I would get depressed about being unhealthy. This time it is a challenge and instead I want to make myself better.
