This is a conversation DH and I were having last night that was very amusing. We were talking about what little things we can do now that we have lost some weight. Odd non-scale victories.
Some things are obvious, like being able to run up a certain number of stairs without any effort. Or not being tired after a long walk. When I crouch down to pick something off the floor, I don't need to use my hands to assist my getting back up - I just use my leg muscles. But there are some weird things that you don't think about, things that you may not even think matter, but are all a result of losing weight and getting in shape.
For example: I can now sit cross-legged in my computer chair. I can easily get my whole hand into a mason jar to clean it. I can reach into the space behind the bookshelves to get the cat toys that accumulate there (I used to have to suck them out with the vaccuum).
Sometimes, when I realize I just did something I couldn't do before, I just have to laugh. Why on earth would it matter that I can fit my hand into a mason jar (actually, it makes it way easier to clean)? But when I realized I could do it, I burst out laughing!
So what strange things can you do now?
