I am not sure how good it made me feel but I didn’t get weighed this morning because I was afraid my weight would jump back up on the scale!....it is really chilly here this morning at 59 degrees....I went to the pool anyway dressed in my swimsuit,a hat,beach towel,hoodie, and water jogging shoes....the air was 75 degrees but the wind was whipping at about 25 mph and out of the north....and I got in...after the initial plunge and shock to my system it wasn’t too bad and I got an hour work out in!....was very proud of myself!....I promised myself when the weather started cooling off I was still going to swim as many days a week that I could...except for rain or temps below 65 degrees....the longer you do anything, the more of a habit it becomes....it’s not like I am swimming at the North Pole!1

@conniewilkins56 It is super cold here too and it gets dark so early that I can't do anything outside after I get off work. Kinda sucks.
I am heading to your neck of the woods in mid December and looking forward to the warmer temps. I plan on packing both my Hoodie and my swimsuit.1 -
Here’s today’s feel good non scale victory. April 1 2019 I signed up for 30 days of biking. I promised to ride everyday in April I decided to ride every day in May. Today is day 600. It was nice enough to ride outside.

I am finally "overweight" instead of "obese"! I'm down 250 pounds from my highest weight and 230.8 in just over 19 months. I've been in onederland for 7 weeks now. I still can't believe my weight starts with a 1. It has been probably 35 years since I last saw that. I still don't know what my goal weight should be. I just know I still have more than enough fat left to lose. But just for today, I'm going to enjoy being "overweight". Thanks for all the inspiring posts I read in this wonderful group! It helps so much!
PS
When I went to the doctor last month, she told me that I'm a very healthy 62 year old. I almost laughed out loud when she said that. Even though most of my health markers were good in the past (better than they really should have been considering my weight), they were gradually getting worse. Now they were all very good. I think that's the first time in many years a doctor thought I was "very healthy". That made me feel good!10 -
@MuttiNM great news! I love it!!1

What an accomplishment. Congratulations!
This place is very inspirational - I haven't been here long but reading the posts always helps me center myself.2 -
I had my procedure last Friday to remove the cancerous areas on my cervix. I got the pathology report back today (super quick!!) and they were able to get all of it with good margins. I will have to have follow up visits every few months to take new samples but it was good news all the same.10

@gewel321 that is wonderful news! fantastic! And such a relief, I'm sure!2
-
@gewel321 Awesome! I’m super happy for you!!!!1

Thanks guys. It is a huge relief. I am still in a bit of pain from the procedure so no big celebrations but I am taking some time off this week to just chill with my family and eat some food!3

I'm having to leave my phone in the kitchen this morning because I really, really need to get some work done and the last 2 days I admit I have been completely and hopelessly distracted and unproductive at work. Its a good thing its a holiday week and my deadlines are the middle of December so I have plenty of time!
So you can probably infer from that how things are going with the talks with the guy *blushes* We've got a lot in common, similar beliefs, values, politics, and interests. The distance is a downer, but at the same time, its been a good thing because it gives us plenty of time to talk on those important things and not let those heady emotions cloud our thinking. Too badly, or worse than it already does, anyway.
Here I am, 40 years old and feeling like I'm 15 again lol I really am liking what I'm hearing so far, so keep your fingers crossed and for those that pray, pray very hard that what is best for us works out here!
I am still very cautious, though, even though I am quite enjoying the attention. It has only been 2 weeks so its still very, very new and things could easily still go south and we are just getting to know each other, so I am trying to keep my head firmly on my shoulders. I'm trying to keep alert as I don't want to get blindsided by something that I missed the warning signs for - which is why I ask my friends to keep a close eye on things and be my judgment for me. I told my best friend that I need her to be my Jiminy Cricket lol8 -
I'm dreadfully behind on these boards and just now catching up...
Congratulations to @conniewilkins56 and @MuttiNM for hitting such great milestones!
And @gewel321! I'm so happy they were able to remove everything. Here's to clean reports at your follow-up appointments.2 -

What a great experience and something you don't expect when the world is upside down. Something fun and exciting! I haven't made it past these initial stages in awhile - but it has reached the point where I truly just enjoy the initial rush - because chances are good that is all I'm gonna get. :-)
Always smart to keep alert - but so darn hard when your heart rate is going mad.
And that is probably going to burn a bunch of extra calories!
Hope you are enjoying this to the fullest. Glad your deadlines are not til mid December.

Not just today, but something that's had me feeling good all week: after my phone interview for a very promising job last week, I was invited for an on-site interview scheduled for Tuesday of next week. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high in case I don't get it, or in case I get there and find it's not as great as it seems, but it feels so good to have the possibility of a job I could really enjoy. The job description sounded like it would be right up my alley, and the phone interview just solidified that impression. Trying to keep my expectations realistic while also acknowledging that a position like this could really springboard my career and be pretty life-changing! I went and got a new haircut last week in hopes of looking more mature and professional, and I'll be trying on outfits this weekend to see which of my business clothes are fitting me now. Prepping myself to make the best first impression possible, so even if it doesn't work out, I'll know I gave myself every advantage I could.7

@MuttiNM that's awesome news ! I have to look up when I'm not morbidly obese! Just obese would be amazing ! Sounds like a wonderful goal to meet ! Congratulations on that ! Keep up the awesome work!1

So I looked it up and I'm morbidly obese until I reach 230 lbs BMI of 38 which is 22.6 more pounds to loose ! I think thats one of my next goals now is to reach obese !3
