Heavier than when I started...and loving life.

'Blog about all the ways that you have noticed that you have become healthier besides the scales.'

When I stared Sparkpeople about a year ago (on this account!) I was 147. Now, I am 152.

This doesn't bother me at all. Because I am WAY healthier now.

Examples.

ONE

Start of Spark people.

Only run if you're being chased.



Now:

You want me to skip my 5 mile run?



Erm, don't you know I have a half marathon coming up? Hush yourself.


TWO

Before Sparkpeople

CAKE! NOM!



Now

Er...cookie...gives me horrid sugar taste in mouth....OOOO APPLE!




THREE

Before Spark People

OK class, it's friday, lets all let Miss Silverlock sleep...




NOW




FOUR

Before Sparkpeople

ERMYGAWD lift is out of order! We will never make it to 15th floor! Life is over!!!



Now





Conclusion:

Life isn't about a number on a scale.

    GREAT blog I love your pictures and comparisons. Health and well being is much more important than the number on the scale. I haven't weighed myself in almost a month and have I lost/gained don't know but I do know I have been really busy and trying to do my best most days. Everything goes back to normal on Tuesday so time to get myself back to normal routine. The start of school ends summer per se and puts everything back into perspective. Keep up the great work and positive attitude. Teri

    Love that you recognize your success in becoming healthier! I think that is the most important thing - as was already said, a scale cannot measure everything. :)

    Great post! And a good reminder not to measure our progress by only one variable. Keep it up!
