Thanks for giving me a spot to brag.
Great! Hope you had some fun too

did my 10k event yesterday, blew out a calf muscle on an uphill section, walked 2 kilometres but managed to finish and my time wasn't too bad. I was able to run/limp for the last 3k. But the best and most important part was that for the first time I consciously and actively decided to work through it with positive self talk and determination inspite of the fact that I was angry and disappointed. Of course I'm limping today, but I don't care. I was able to find the right attitude when it was needed.
Awesome! Wow, you inspire me!

I actually managed a 2 month streak no binging
This is an achievement for me because I usually binge at least twice a month. 0 -
Holy Willpower, Batman! Congratulations; definitely bragworthy.0

So I'm going to brag that I'm somewhat discouraged today...but I'm going to stay the course. And I will drag my sorry self-pitying butt to the gym tonight and whoop the self-pity out of it. I understand that self-pity can turn into droplets of sweat as it leaves your body... whaddya think?

My pants are falling down and my boobs look smaller. Not sure if this is a complaint or a brag! 0

9 out of 10 dentists...no, no... that's not it...9 out of 10 MFP users agree that it's a very worthy brag. 0

I committed to another snow boarding trip with the young woman who kicked my *kitten* last weekend. I would like to believe I am brave rather than stupid 0

brave and smart...she's raised the bar and it's not slowing you down. :-) good luck and have a blast!0

I've never tried snow boarding. I used to cross country ski, very easy trails. I went downhilling a few times in high school. I'm sure I was great entertainment for some folks. First time off the lift, dropped my pole. Got it back, went down the hill, steered toward the right where there were fewer people for me to run over, accidentally went over an invisible jump, flew through the air, landed, got excited because I wasn't dead, and crashed into, well, nothing at all except my own delight. Then, accidentally ended up on "The Wall", straight down and not a clue how the heck to get down. ski patrol thought they had to rescue me. I can't remember how I did get down. I did great on the bunny hill though. Don't even ask me about the time I tried to water ski!!!! very funny NOW. 0

love it peacehawk! sounds similar to my first experiences as well. i am not very coordinated, just seem to be an adrenaline junky. falling all over the place in snow and water seems to keep me out of jail 0

On Monday I got my 3 month diabetic check up. I lost 20 pounds in that time.0

Wow! Bet your doctor was impressed! Bet you were pretty proud to see his/her reaction too. I hope you bought some new pants before you went since your old pants were dragging on the floor.

I made it to onderland! I'm so excited and proud of myself. I haven't been here for a long time and I don't ever intend to leave!0

That's fantastic news; are you beaming from ear to ear? Congratulations!!0

Just got a call that my A1c is down to 5.9. It hasn't been that low in several years. the diabetic spiral may be unwinding.
By the way, I just keep tightening my belt, and I wore a skirt to the dr office, so the clothing weight would be similar to what it was for the summer visit. It may have even been the same skirt and different shirt. I love that skirt. good thing there is a bit of leeway with the stretchyness. I'm hoping to keep it around for a while. the fat pants are getting worn out (pun intended) and I'm starting to wear the ones that had been too tight before.0 -
congrats peacehawk!!!!!!!! way to go 0

Congrats peacehawk! I have to take a moment to brag... did I mention I love that you created this spot in the group forum. I'm excited because today I am wearing size 12 pants for the first time since my second child was born (she is almost 9!) I took advantage of one of the black friday sales and bought two new pair of pants. I was so excited when they arrived in the mail and they actually fit!! Yay!0

Awesome!!!!
I think the last time I fit into a size 12 was when I was about 20 and weighed 125 or 130. that was like half of me ago. I still have one single piece of clothing from then, it's a beautiful simple turqois dress with a beautiful woven neckline. As a sewer, I couldn't bear to let it go, thinking it might be unappreciated, not so much because I think it will ever fit again. It's like a beautiful piece of unshown art that I would part with if only someone loved it as much as I do. I think I fit into it at about size 14 or so. maybe some day, but I'm not holding my breath.

In the spirit of better late than never, chiming in to say "congrats" too! It's such a motivator when the results of hard work becomes visible. Just don't get too attached to those pants b/c they'll soon be drooping around your waist and you'll be shopping for size 10...and then... 0
