After our gym session last evening, I went for a road run with Sarge. He was in a good mood yesterday and wanted to gulp a pint of beer. Just a pint. I did tag along but skipped the beer. I had unsweetened lime juice instead. On such days I am engulfed by a good feeling about myself. I wonder if pride is justified at moments like these.  ;)

By all means it is justified. In fact, it is this feeling that inspires us the most and keeps us going. I feel the same on many a day.

Thanks, Shanny and skb. It is nice to know that others think in the same way and I am not alone in this.

bsg, that is a superb count.  ~clp~

I plan to do cardio today at the gym and I will keep your post in mind and push a little harder.

Wow bsg. That is very inspiring. I did do my normal workout last evening though I had thought that I would do at least 5% more. And the weekends are the off days. So I will be going only on Monday now.

8483 steps yesterday.  The last time I was able to do over 8K was last Friday so maybe that is my best day.  I took it easier Wednesday and Thursday and tried to do as much as I could without using the cane and didn't really worry about step count and it seems like it helped.
