I just returned from 50+ minutes on the treadmill at my local gym. Generally my workout is a nice simple:

• 1 minute at 3 mph
• Put ramp to level 10, increase speed to 3.5 mph. 9 minutes or so of that.
• Put ramp on highest level (level 15), keep speed at 3.5 mph. 30 minutes of that.
• Decrease ramp gradually to level 2 and increase speed to 4.5 mph - finish the last 15 seconds at 5 mph.

It’s a rather challenging workout that keeps my heartrate between 140 and 178, depending upon what I’m doing. I end up drenched in sweat, mind you, and red as a tomato, but hey…I feel quite buff when I’m done.

Anywhos, I noticed something in the locker room today. When I first started back in 12/2006, I could barely cover my middle with the towel. But nowadays, there’s at least a 10 inch overlap whenever I wrap myself in said towel!

I’m also noticing that there are far more clothing choices for me at the department stores as well. No longer do I have to browse in the Big and Hefty Wench area - I can actually wear average to small sized clothing and don’t have to look like a full ship at sea when trying on different outfits!

Reality. It can really be a super thing to experience.
