Yesterday I walked 15,000 steps!! I work a sit down job at a bank. Hoping to keep the momentum up!

I have several pretty button up shirts I haven't been able to wear in at least two years. Yesterday I tried on my favorite "just to see" and it fit great! No more gaping buttons around my bust!

4:30 was so hard this morning. But i made myself get up. About 10 minutes into my walk I felt so much better for doing it. Squeezed in a quick training session on my barrel horse too (I've promised myself I wouldn't compete on her until i got under a certain weight since she's a bit smaller. We have a memorial barrel race where I live in January for a very special lady so I have a massive motivator)

Only found this app a week ago. Been halfway watching what I eat since June 1. Didn't have a scale to measure with. All I know is I gained a notch on my belt and now have almost gotten 2 notches back

I’m wearing a medium shirt today! I started at 2XL. So happy!

I ate delivery pizza 3 times this month but have been able to maintain 1.5lb/week loss regardless!

I'm wearing a t-shirt today I bought two years ago, and it's very loose, even in the hips! Also, I picked up my volunteer outfit for the European track and field championships, and they assigned me a form-fitted women's t-shirt (I hate hate hate them ... or so I thought). It's in XL, but it fits like it's supposed to, and for the first time ever, I do not look like I'm wearing a sausage casing.

We do a modified hurdler hamstring stretch in my Wednesday exercise class (leg is out to the side rather than out front).

I've never been able to touch my toes in that stretch.

I touched my toes last night

I realised over the weekend that I can’t trust what I see in the mirror - and that I’m actually down to the size I want to be. Bugger the scales.

I put on a pair of jeans before going to the hairdresser and all I could see in the mirror was fat, chunky thighs. I thought they looked huge. No different to when I was 25kgs heavier.

Walked into the hairdresser and she didn’t recognise me - she had to ask my name. My hairdresser was in disbelief that it was actually me - and I’m only down 15kgs since I last saw her 8 months ago (I know, I should get my hair cut more often)! Apparently I look like a completely different person, yet to me I don’t look any different in that mirror. It made me realise that my mind hasn’t quite caught up yet...

I went out to a party that night and the second part of this NSV happened when photos popped up on Facebook the next day. I was scrolling through and saw a photo of all the ladies I’d spent the night with. I wondered how I missed the photo opportunity - I don’t normally miss a group photo! It took a double take for me to realise that I was actually in the photo. That skinny person on the left - that’s me. I don’t use the term ‘skinny’ lightly but there is me standing next to one of my lovely slim friends and I’m looking just as slim. Not only am I slimmer - I look completely different. Like a completely different person.

So maybe the hairdresser was right? Maybe I’m not seeing the truth in the mirror? An huge NSV for me to realise I’m pretty happy with the way I look now.

I have been on a two month calorie counting hiatus. Summer is usually a busy time for me (especially July this year), and honestly I was getting sick of counting. So I've just been weighing frequently, and trying to listen to my hunger & fullness cues, and still working out when I can. I had already decided I would pick it pack up August 1st like, a month ago. I went ahead and started counting a week early. And weighing what food I can. After the first day (2000+cal. splurge day ) I've even been holding myself to below maintenance so far. August 1st is my get serious date though. I feel like it's an accomplishment in itself that I set a "back to it" date at all!

I can now reach around to my back and unhook my bra! (Back fat is going away!) Used to have to struggle to get my arms out of the straps and then tug the bra around until I could reach the hooks! Even bought some front-hook bras because of this. (Twice -failed rotator cuff surgery was part of the problem, but the back fat was the biggest part. Small victory for me.

Yesterday I noticed a Marks and Spencer Sale online and had a browse. They had a dress I quite liked and it was reduced by 60%. Checking it out I was peeved that they only had it in a 14 (UK). I thought to myself well, I am a 16 now so maybe at £15 this is worth a punt as an aspirational dress. Ordered it thinking it would be handy if I coud fit comfortably in it for my winter sun holiday. This is quite a big deal for me as, for the last 20 years I have been unable to buy dresses due to the mismatch in size between top half and bottom half Today it arrived - and it fit! All the way up, no tugging on the zip - nothing! I feel it accentuates my womanly curves - aka big tummy - a little too much but another 6lbs or so will see me both in my normal bmi and comfortable in this dress. 10 lbs should see me happily wearning my posh red party dress this Christmas (the dragon dress!) Next summer size 12??

That's the best feeling!!! I have a few things that fit but accentuate the wrong things too. I figure I'll get there eventually!

I'd say that's a huge victory!!

This is a goal! Race shirts are always small! And what a fun volunteer gig too!

A very strange NSV worth sharing. I wear size 2- 4 dresses however because of my big hips, I can only wear flare dresses in 2/4 since they won't fit my bottom. It’s been a while but last time i tried a form fitting dress with no stretchy fabric that could comfortable go pass my hips and it was in a size 8. Because of my big bottom I avoid form fitting dress with no stretch. I stopped by Nordstrom rack, 25% off clearance sale is going on, I tried a size 4 petite dress with no stretchy fabric. I knew it won’t fit but I was just curious. The last time I attempted to wear a normal size 6 dress it won’t even go pass my hips. Well today some how, i was able to get a Size 4 petite dress to go pass my hips, granted it was tight. I still have 2-3 inches to lose from the hips for a comfortable fit. So yeah my NSV I was able to a get a non-stretchy size 4 petite dress to go pass my hips without it being stuck. I’m really surprise since I’m still in a weight loss stall since April.

I can do Jumping jacks. I used to have to do the modified version.

I can sprint up the stairs of my apartment building without getting out of breath.

All my old tunics and leggings are getting baggy.

I’m a lot more flexible.

I was suffering from chronic pain/Fibromyalgia, I decided that my body couldn't handle the extra weight and that is why it hurt. It was a catch 22, I couldn't exercise because I hurt and I hurt because I couldn't exercise. I started to lose the weight by watching calories.and felt better. Although I do have some pain, today the doctor agreed that I can discontinue the "pain" meds for three months and see how I feel.
I want to lose a few more pounds before I start strength training again but I am moving and the pounds are coming off.
