I have two! My husband and I finished our first half marathon on Nov 3, which was the first anniversary of our finishing c25k and first running a 5k.
Also, Nov 5 marked one year of living at a normal weight BMI.52 -
This is kind of a mixed one but I'm taking it.
First date tonight, hadnt met before. We got on the subject of sports we used to play. After I listed mine he asked if I'd soccer or softball. When I repeated soccer, he said, Yeah, I was surprised when i heard softball, you dont have that kind of figure.
Naturally I assumed this was some sort of derision and he was calling me fat, but before I could dump my scalding tea in his lap he added that all the girls he knew who played softball were pretty big girls.
Now this was just generally an awkward conversational turn, and I'm not sure that's an accurate generalization of softball players, but I have never ever been considered not a big girl, or a girl with a smaller figure. What the what.23 -
Normal i swim after work when I'm in China for business.
Last night pool was closed for monthly cleaning so I hit the weight room.
I was standing at a cable machine. I have no idea what the proper name is for what I doing. Straight arm reverse pull to work the back of the shoulder toward the spine.
One of the Chinese trainers, that knows how much I swim, came up behind me and pointed out the muscles I was working to a client.
That's the first time I have ever been used as a positive example by a trainer. It also means that all that swimming is toning up my shoulders.
My arms legs and shoulders are leaner than my mid section. Easier to muscle definition there.24 -
Went for a run for the first time since my half in July.
NSV 1: took it easy, did 0.5 of a mile, walked for a bit, then did another 0.5.
NSV 2: did not die
NSV 3: re-realised just how much fun running is and how treadmills suck - outside for me on Thursday
NSV 4: did SL 5x5 afterwards.
Only first week, but am thinking I may be able to reduce the swimming and start up the running and weights again without destroying my soul30 -
Rx'd a crossfit workout for the first time ever!25

After three months and five days off letting it slide, I finally got up and put in a workout. It feels great! Why did I stop?34
-
pseudo-nsv. I weighed the same on Friday morning as I did on Monday morning. That means I was able to at least balance my eating with my exercise. I find it really hard to not mindlessly munch and overeat on the weekends.23

175 x 3 close grip bench press last night.21

My 14 yr old son (who is a pitcher and soccer goalie) and I had a contest to see who could do a plank the longest last night... and I beat him at 70 seconds whoop whoop!29

Today is my 100th day of logging food and exercise!36

I had someone at the gym ask me how to get so much definition in the arms and shoulders without getting big. BTW, the answer is that's one of the first places the fat came off and it came off almost completely, so with enough exercise to get good muscle tone my arms look like an illustration from an anatomy book when flexed. It actually looks kind of odd in places where I have "divots" and troughs. Probably not the best way to train ("okay first gain about 65 pounds").16

Few will probably relate to this one, but the MRI tube was much more comfortable now that I have lost some weight! I don't mind getting an MRI, but I did certainly feel cramped before!30

One more notch down on the belt!
Technically I've reached this point before, but that was on my last pair of jeans that sat right on the smallest part of the waist. These sit slightly lower, so it was slightly depressing when I changed and had to go up a notch, but the last couple of days I've been flirting with the idea of going down a notch, and today I buckled up and it just seemed right to go a notch in.
It's the last one, so I might have to consider punching new holes before I reach goal weight!21 -
I pretty much live in tee shirts and hoodies year-round. When I started to gain weight I couldn't bear to get rid of my too-small (medium) shirts, so I bagged them up and put them in storage. Over the weekend, I discovered I can wear some of these shirts again
Some of them run smaller than others - I washed them all so they're fresh and waiting for the day I can wear them again.

Had a binge of sorts last night after work so I headed out the door at 8:30 pm stuffed did an interval walk/run to the gym (5 miles) and then did my 5X5. Was feeling sluggish and did not feel motivated whilst there but I got myself there and the fresh air on the way to the gym was life giving. New day today. The NSV was not going to bed on all that food....24

Most days at work (weather permitting), I take breaks mid-morning, lunchtime, and mid-afternoon to walk at least twice around the block. My NSV is I am inspiring coworkers to walk with me now, some days 4 or 5 of them, and several are now actively trying to lose weight.35

I was working out yesterday the the stretches weren't doing anything for me. I let my pt know and we went to the next level22

My newest NSV is being able to breathing through my nose while sleeping/laying down.26

My Fitbit is now on the first notch. Used to be the 3rd. The wrist is getting smaller23
