Librarian of Doom Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I had to cut my toenails. I had been putting it off, because it's a pain. I have to contort myself around until I can both see and reach the toenails, and it just reminds me of how horribly out of shape I am. Tonight, I know I just need to do it. I pull my foot up...hey, that was easy. I reach down...I remember this being harder. Holy cow, I can cut my toenails without feeling like my leg is twisting off!I know, intellectually, that the bodyweight exercises and yoga I'm doing are making me stronger and more flexible. But it's things like this, things that used to be hard, and are becoming easier, that really drive home the difference I am making in myself.It's a small woot, but one that makes me smile Quote Hobbit Ranger seeking balance (and cookies) Current Challenge Link to comment
Xena47 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Sounds awesome to me! I've been there, believe me, and know how much these little things mean. Congratulations and Woot to you!

CapN_Tommy_Sunshine Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 It may seem minor, but that is a great achievement. My first one like that was being able to tie my own shoes without getting winded! Quote Link to comment

Corbab Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 It might be one little thing right now, but soon those "one little things" start adding up and you find yourself a completely different (and more awesome) person! Woot! Quote Never think of pain or danger or enemies a moment longer than is necessary to fight them. -Ayn Rand Amongst those less skilled you can see all this energy escaping through contorted faces, gritted teeth and tight shoulders that consume huge amounts of effort but contribute nothing to achieving the task.
