It was about 6:20 am today and I was walking across the bootcamp gym, carrying a 35-lb plate weight in each hand like a suitcase.All I was doing was walking, carrying this extra weight, and as my shoulders started to burn, it hit me:
How the hell did I ever do this before - plus another 55 lbs?
Sure, I didn't have 125 lbs hanging exclusively off my arms but, you get the idea.
I can't remember hauling around a 282 lbs - and that's a very good thing.
The fact I got a little challenging reminder? Even better.
And the fact I could put down (OK, drop) the plates and instantly weigh 158 lbs again? The best.
Yes! There's nothing quite like carrying that weight around and realizing it was once on your body. I felt that way on moving day, hauling boxes and bags up three flights of stairs. And you're right--it's great to get that perspective, but it feels even better dropping that weight in the gym and feeling immediate relief. Love this post!
