Ran a mile today
I ran a whole mile today at 5mph on the treadmill. I finished my Turbo Fire HIIT workout and felt like it was too easy/short so I hopped on the treadmill. I did not even feel like I was going to die, either. I give all the credit to Turbo Fire, I haven't even been on the treadmill for about 4 weeks and the last time I ran,…

Looking for friends! Lost 45 lbs
So i lost 45 lbs recently. I have no idea hiw to post pix on this thing and besides i realized i dont have many. I guess i've always hidden my fat butt from camaras. One of the many things i have to work on is being comfortable with myself. I've always been self conscious. My mom has been telling me im fat since i was 5 so…

NSV....a compliment
My boss's boss who works in Philadelphia is at our office today. I only see him every couple of months maybe. So today he says,"Are you working out?". I said yes.

DOUBLE NSV!
I apologize in advance for my unabashed self congratulation, but... Two nice surprises for me, both are direct results from losing weight: 1: I won the YMCA racquetball tournament - BUT it was only the "C Class" (which the lowest category). I'm officially the best of the worst, certified mediocre. But now, I'll no longer…

Dinner
I made it myself. I didn't order pizza and most important i didn't skip eating because i was to lazy or "thought it wouldn't be tasty". yes it was just pasta with cashew sauce and yellow squash but everyone has to start somewhere and I did not make any of it from a can. Here I come healthy tasty world of veggies and…

A calf related NSV
Many years ago I had bought several pairs of plus-sized trouser socks on clearance, but unfortunately found out when I got home that they were too small. I had calves that were too large for even the plus-sized ones! Well instead of taking them back, I kept them because they were so cheap and "were going to fit in no…

My weight has bounced back and forth between 210 and 225 for the last 20 years or so. I ran in high school (cross country & track) and still like…

First NSV :-)
So, I have a huge problem with overeating and not being able to control my portion sizes and stuff, which is why I've put on some weight recently. But I'm working on it, which brings me to tonight - my two roommates decided at 9:15 pm that they wanted pizza, and promptly ordered some. They asked me if I wanted any, and I…
