You’re absolutely right: numbers are just numbers. They can be useful for certain purposes, but it’s ultimately all about becoming happy with yourself, your progress, and your habits. I see people go into the weight room and get discouraged all the time because their weight doesn’t plummet down the way they think it should or because they’re embarassed that they can’t lift a certain weight or run at a certain pace or for a certain amount of time on the treadmill, but it really doesn’t matter. We all start somewhere, and the only standard that matters is our own: am I happy with the effort I’m putting in, the progress I’m making? And if not, is it because of something I can change, or am I just being unreasonable?

But I’m rambling on–it sounds like you got it a while ago. :)
