Non-Scale Victory
I went to Disneyland yesterday with my in-laws and ate as healthily as I could, but I know I didn't completely stick to my diet. This morning, I had to be out of the house by six, and so I got dressed in the dark so I didn't wake my husband. I grabbed my pants...you know, the ones that are just a little too snug,,,and was…

I'm officially overweight!!!
I'm officially overweight and excited about this!. I have lost 23lbs, and my BMI is now 30.0. I'm no longer obese. I'm 164lbs, but only 5'2". but 164lbs is a long way from the 187lbs, that I was 10 months ago. I'm excited about my BMI even if I'm still overweight. Now to keep going, and hopefully say good bye to…

Finally wore dance clothes to dance class :)
For the last 10 years I've worn tees and yoga pants or other more covering items to my dance classes. Not that the yoga pants and tanks hide much, but a leotard and tights hides NOTHING. Last night, for the first time in a decade, I wore a leotard and tights to dance class. I couldn't believe (1) that I was confident…

In December when I was 16
When I was 16, right before my parents took me and my sisters to Puerto Vallarta for Christmas, I weighed exactly what I weigh today. I remember how depressed I was getting on the scale then, but today, I'm elated! Thanks MFP!

A good start to the day....
I decided to put on a pair of jeans that did not fit me a couple of months ago and they fit comfortably! MFP is working! :happy: :happy:

My smile for today :-)
Last week I ran a mile (on the treadmill) for the first time since last year (before I got pregnant and had a baby this last year). Today--- I ran my fastest mile EVER---- on a track-- out in the cold--- granted it was a 12 min. 22 second mile, and I know lots of peeps are much faster, but today I feel great, I feel…

My Wedding Dress Fits Again!!!!
I got married two years ago in September, and even then it was a bit snug and rode up cuz of my love handles. I have been trying it on for the last 6 months, and seeing if it would fit. I stopped trying it on 2 months ago. I got a little curious, and here are the results I got.......

Jeans
Funny I sound like a woman but I'm pumped that I went out today and bought a new pair of jeans. Before I started I was having a hard time fitting into a pair of 36x30's. As a matter of fact I could only fit into jeans that were 36x30's. In slacks I was wearing 38x30's. Today I bought and am now wearing 33x30's. And they're…

We did it!
The Wentworth stairs have been conquered! For those many of you who aren't from my city, it's a set of 500 steps going up the side of the Niagara escarpment. Despite nearly throwing up near step 400, and becoming a screaming heap of hysterical hyperventilation on the way down (heights give me the willies big time), I made…

We all know it's ALLL about the t-shirt
I am signed up for a 10K next saturday. The race is in Santa Monica. They emailed everyone inviting them to come early to pick up the packets with t-shirt, bib and chip, so we won't all have to wait in a tremendous line on race day. I had paid the extra $5 to get the dri-max shirt, instead of the cotton one. I'd ordered a…

My WII...is a SOB!!!
I hadn't been on my WII Fitness for about 2 1/2 months....then I moved it into one of our spare bedrooms. It has a thicker carpet than the rug I usually put the weighing board on in the living room. So I get on the board and it tells me that I had lost 22 pounds in the last 2 1/2 months...which I thought was a little high,…

Reaching my goal
I have been writing in journals nearly my entire adult life. It is a way for me to think things through, process information, etc. Today, I decided to read through some of those journals. I started, actually, with 2003. I was surprised by what I read. It is funny how we forget things. In my journals I had recorded much of…

First 5K ran!
Verily, verily I say unto thee, the fat boy hath runneth! Ran my first 5K this morning, the Jingle Bell Run in Lake Charles, LA and finished it in 29:04 if I'm not mistaken. My time was a bit off from what I have been running at the track, I think the hardness of the road compared to the rubberized track made that…

The best Brithday Present ever!
So on October 8th I made the goal not to Weigh in till my birthday. Mostly cause I weigh myself every week and get extremely discouraged by the numbers I see and end up quitting. Well, I stuck to my goal of losing 10 pounds by my birthday and I weighed in today at 140! That's 12 pounds! I'm ecstatic!

My first little success!
I'm being brave and posting this. I thought I looked half decent in the photo on the left, until I tried on the same outfit 7 weeks later and 12lbs down. Didn't think I'd seen a difference until I put them side by side. Still a way to go, but nearly a stone off so I'm a happy bunny! :) I also tried on a dress for NYE about…

At a health BMI at last

I have had to stop drinking alcohol, start drinking green tea and stop biscuits and cakes etc. I dont miss them now although I will be getting out the champagne at Christmas. I…

Noticing a difference
Felt a little confidence boost today when I saw my old work colleague who told me I look great and that I look skinny :D I don't look skinny, but it means she's noticed a difference. It made me so happy to hear someone tell me so without me asking them directly if they can see a difference! Here's to the next 23lb!
