The SoG needs to move to a beach for some Vit D

What? Ok, this may sound stupid but one of the things that really really bothered me when I got overweight was that I could no longer easily put my socks on in the morning. I am serious! I would sit down and bend over to put my socks on and I could not reach.

The whole thing seems kind of ridiculous but I had to practically become a contortionist just so get my socks on.I would lay on my back, rock back and forth, try to cross my legs and all sorts of other activities. I would end up out of breath with my socks finally on or occasionally I would just give up and ask my wife to do it. When I now picture myself watching myself go through this ritual, I have to chuckle because I am sure it looked ridiculous. I am happy to report that I now have little difficulty putting my socks on again.

The reason I write about this is to point out that sometimes it is the small things that matter. Putting on your socks may seem like a small deal, but it was a BIG frustration for me. If I run into a stumbling block or pause to ask myself “Why do you exercise discipline?” or “Why do you live Primal?”, I just need to remember some of the small things like pulling up my socks.

What are some of your small but important victories?
