My husband’s arm fits around my waist in a totally new way.
For my birthday I got new sneakers and a GC for an eight week group training class. And that made me super happy.
I keep having to buy new clothes, I’m keeping my wardrobe small as I know I will shrink out for summer. From a 22/xxl to a 12-14 and a teenage medium on top!
I now KNOW, not just hope and wish, that I will reach my goal weight and fitness level. It’s an entirely different mental place to be.
I just touched my toes for the first time in at least a decade. Without pulling any muscles. Feet shoulder-width apart, knees flexed slightly.
I've seen people palm the floor with their feet apart and their knees locked, but 1.) I can't do that, and 2.) I'm not sure it's a healthy exercise anyway.
My Grandmother could stand with her feet together, knees locked and put both of her palms flat on the floor when she was 90. She was over weight to boot. I doubt I will ever be able to do that.
I can do this with barely a stretch, I think it has to do with arm/leg length, some people can do it easily and some can't no matter how much they stretch.
Nah, I have short arms and I could do it as a teen. I am working on it and can almost get there. I'll be able to do it in a month or so. Right now I feel the pull in my hamstrings.
I've always been able to touch the floor, even when I was 280 pounds. I can put my palm flat on the ground now at 179. I think it has to with the ratio of arm to leg length not just length.
Was folding the laundry, I live in an apt. building with a common laundry room. I picked up a pair of jeans and thought they must be a neighbors jeans..."Wait!! Those 'little' jeans are mine!!" And they seem a little looser every wash cycle..Yesssss!
I decided to splurge for my birthday last night. I went out, had pizza, a salad, and a margarita. I only went 40 calories over my calories, and that was my daily vitamins (50 calories of gummy vitamins). This is a victory because 1) I fit a "big splurge" in my calories no problem, and 2) I feel like I've learned to pace my food better, that I could stop at 1.5 slices easily (ate the other half of my child's) and not feel deprived, like I'm finally getting to a place where my brain recognizes an appropriate amount of food.
Went to the dr yesterday & they used the small blue cuff to check my blood pressure instead of the big red one. I was just waiting for her to have to switch them after trying, as usual, but nope! It fit!
I used to fly carrying my own seat belt extender and praying the person next to me would be kind. This is my seat belt slack on a flight I just took
I honestly know how terrifying that is. (Or was) i hadn't traveled in nearly 20 years and last Thanksgiving i flew to California. I had to use a seatbelt extender ( which is okay) but hoping the next time i fly i won't have to
someone told me I looked like some hot actress I had never heard of, so I googled her and it was a compliment lol, and the fact that a while back I realized I could see my toes again while taking a shower

I can’t wait until this is me. As it stands, I’m wondering where you got yours, as I want one for my next flight. 😎
