In my travels across the internet I just found this great post from a guy who has ben living a great new healthy lifestyle and wrote a nice long post about how it has made him feel.
Life is about learning from mistakes that have been made and being better: Health and Fitness
Sometimes I forget about the great changes in peoples outlook from having a great workout, or haveing a great eating day. These are things that really make us appreciate how we have made these changes for ourselves. Sure it is nice to get compliments from frineds and coworkers about how much better we look, but it is even more importnat that deep down we are really happy about what we have done for ourselves.
