Really hit home how much 20 pounds is. Walked the 4-mile round trip to the grocery yesterday with a gallon of milk in my pack the way back. Kicked my butt. Before I lost weight last year, I was hauling 2 1/2 times this in excess weight skiing and hiking

I had a heavyset preacher once tell me that carrying extra weight around was like carrying around a sack of feed all day.
I've got a couple of empty 6-gallon water containers. An idea: Fill them up where they reflect the difference between my current and high weight last August.
Then I'll hoist them up in each hand every morning and walk 10 paces. A visceral reminder of what it's like to carry that around, and a bit of improvised weight training to boot!

Thanks buenitabishop! 🤗 GoalOnederLand -- that's a thought, definitely. If I did that going off my highest ever weight, it'd be 70 pounds -- would definitely be a challenge! MattRide -- that working on a roof is no bargain. I think my husband credits working as a roofer one summer in his youth with giving him the motivation he needed to get through college. 😂 Stay safe up there!
