Non Scale Victories

In the weight loss phase, it's all about the number of the scale going down.  Now that I am trying to maintain my weight, I try to celebrate the non scale victories.  I was heading out of my hotel room one evening to work out and glanced in the mirror and realized...my thighs don't touch!  Victory!

And now having posted this, I feel compelled to go work out so I can sustain this look and feeling!

What is it about the Olympics?

I know it's been two weeks but I miss the Olympics.  I am not a huge sports fan but when the Olympics roll around, I am glued to the tv for two weeks. I like the concept of the games.  The coming together of the world for some fun and games.  I like the underdogs (Jamaican bobsled team), the come back kids, the one last hurrah athletes, those that have the expectations of the world on their shoulders and rise to the occasion, and those no one saw coming.  I love the stories behind the athletes, behind the host country, behind the games.  I am a people watcher plus I like to know why people are the way they are and the Olympics feeds my thirst for this.  So now, here we sit two weeks later and I miss the Olympics and am seriously considering going to Rio in two years.  But for now, it's time to throw myself into the Paralympics 😄.
