"I've lost over 40 Lbs since January."
~~~~~~~~~~~
Almost 6 lbs./month. Impressive!

What's amazing is how many of us are now suffering body aches/pains.
Was thinking recently how, when I look back, my youth, fitness, strength, endurance, etc., was never a conscious consideration. Took it for granted - in fact, never viewed it as nature's gift. It was my birthright.
In boot camp, 18 yrs. old, I watched my fellow "boots" struggle to climb that 20 ft. rope using their hands, arms, and legs. Some gave up, only to be forced into multiple tries.
I simply grabbed it and walked it with my hands...legs dangling...in a matter of seconds. I was a specimen.
My physicality was the leading edge of who I was. 155 lbs. with a 28" waist.
Now, 40 lbs. heavier, only memories of those early days.
However, one thing that I fall back on is the wisdom that age has brought.
I'm grateful for that. There are those blessed moments these days when I feel wise and kind.
Would be heaven to have both, eh?
