:flowerforyou:

I think its important to acknowledge small successes as well as big successes together and to encourage one another. I'm excited because I am on day 7 of exercising. I struggle wih commiting to exercise and making it a way of life, so I am trying to do something each day, even if its only a walk around the block. I would love to hear your successes as well.

    Ran a mile straight for the third time, shaved about 10 seconds off my previous time. It's not a fluke, I can actually run for a mile and not feel like I'm going to die afterwards! lol yay!

    I actually stayed within my calorie limits today! It meant turning down that extra bit of garlic bread but I'm super proud :)

    I ran today. I'm 310 lbs (give or take) and I was afraid to do it but I did it. I ran intervals (beginning c25k) for 22.51 minutes before my ankles and hips began to ache and I called it quits to prevent injury. And you know what? Imma do it again on Friday! And squat tomorrow. :)

    I am pretty happy because I didn't do too bad today foodwise. I stayed pretty healthy, and stuck to my lunch that I brought, a salad, rather than eating something else that is bad for me and more filling. And I stayed pretty active all day. Oh, and I drank enough water for the first time ever!!!!! :)

    My neighbour brought over a plate of home baked goods she called "Chocolate Crack" and I told her to gtfo.

    Hahah. Not really, but I did turn them down, something I would have NEVER done before.

    I'm not a runner. I actually hate it. But I have a goal: to run a mile faster than I have in my whole life. In the last 2.5 months, I've run one mile three times. The first time was 13:37. Second time was 13:01. 4 weeks later (today), my time was 11:07. I couldn't believe it. Totally crushed it! I still have a long way to go, but the progress over the last two and a half months has shocked me. YAY!

    - binge-free for 10 days and counting (for reference, my prior best for the last 3 years has been 5 days)
    - running without pain is possible again (also hasn't happened in the last year)
    - under 70kg as of this morning (almost 9kg lost!!)

    Boyfriend keeps commenting on me looking different and asking about my progress, which makes me happy cos I know it's working.
    And although technically not today but I finally joined a gym that was offering a really good promotion (after weeks of trialling different ones) AND the other day I fit into a top that I couldn't squeeze my arms into a few months back. :)

    I have struggled with weight loss every since I have had kids. I am trying a life style change. I set my mind to that thought, not diet. I fail every time with dieting. So far, I have lost 4# in 1 week. I am on week 2. I have got to do this....
