What Hill?

So I turned 50 six short months ago and I wasn't really sure what to make of it. For years I looked at turning 50 as this HUGE milestone. I kept waiting for "it" to hit me...six months later....I'm still waiting. Honestly, I haven't felt this good in a long time.
Let me explain. About a month before my "big" birthday, Jody stepped off a curb and injured his knee. It went from bad to worse and he finally made an appointment with a surgeon. He learned that both knees were in incredibly bad shape and
he actually needed a double knee replacement. However, the surgeon did not want to operate on Jody until he lost 100 lbs! Jody was devastated. His knees were killing him and yet the doctorwas telling him to exercise and lose 100 lbs before he would even consider surgery. The surgeon convinced Jody to go see a Personal Trainer who he promised would help him. To say the least, Jody was a bit skeptical...BUT...he agreed to go for a consultation if I would go with him.
Long story short..we went...we bought in...and now...almost 9 months later...Jody is 1o3 lbs lighter!
