Stronger, leaner, healthier, but the trade off is no pounds lost, matter of fact it is the opposite, pounds gained. It is sometimes difficult to remember that getting healthy isn't all about weight loss, it is about eating healthy, exercising and of course cutting those bad habits that we all may indulge in. Yes, I am  guilty of drinking a margarita or spritzer on  a hot day, but everything in moderation. Learning to control what we put in our bodies is half the battle, the other is to get moving. I might not be a gym hound but I do enjoy spending hours outside doing yard work, gardening and splitting wood. My trade off for weights and bar bells is an axe and sledge hammer, not only is it a good work out it is something that has to be done.  Anyone up for a good whack??
