Throughout the whole of my pregnancy I kept a good blood pressure ranging from 110/70 to 120/80. I started it fit and healthy and tried to keep as much fitness I could all the way through, gained a bit too much weight but was fit still. I had a strong healthy big baby to show for it.

Down almost 20 lbs to ~175. Over the past 5 lbs I realize I have gone from convex to concave around my middle. Yes if you look very carefully.... Oh my...I have a waist!! It’s just a little dimple of a waist but it’s still super exciting.

Awesome transformation, congratulations! I'm sure that you hear this a lot, your eyes are absolutely amazing! Down right hypnotic.

Bought a whole bunch of clothes online and for the first time, I'm sending them back because they are all too big!! 😁

I finally dropped off the obese category into the overweight on the BMI scale!! So so so happy about that 😊

Today I am able to fit into multiple pieces of clothing I couldn't wear for the last few years. Also yesterday I ran into an old colleague, and she said I look the best she's ever seen. 😄

I can still out plank my students in my muay Thai class after recently having a baby. Side plank leg and arm lifted and normal plank opposite arm and leg lifted.

1) Last week we went on holiday to the Isle of Wight. We went last year and I wanted to cycle around the island - my DH even got me a small folding bike that would go in the back of the car.

But the bike and I didn't really get along too well and I only cycled about 10 miles on it before I gave it up as a bad job.

This year, I acquired a tow bar cycle rack and we took MY bike to the island.

The week was pretty disastrous as it rained. A lot.

Midweek it dried up a little, so set the alarm for 5am and got up ready to go. DH, bless him, also got up to see me off.

Three quarters of a mile later, a massive puncture. Now, I cheat a little as I put that stuff in my tyres that is supposed to seal small punctures (I struggle to change tyres on my bike because I have arthritis in my hands (as well as everywhere else) so it can be very difficult for me; but I digress) but this one just flattened the tyre within seconds. Walked back to where we were staying and assumed that was it, no round island ride for me that day.

BUT my DH hadn't gone back to bed so he helped me to put a new tube and tyre on. At 5.30am - gotta love the man

And off I went again. All 70-ish miles around the island. I had been told that the worst hills were in the south and west of the island but whoever said that was lying. It was up, then down, then up, then down, for all 70 miles.

It was great, a wonderful, challenging ride. Having done that, I know that I am capable of a 100-mile ride, and I am capable of doing the coast-to-coast (loosely planned for later in the year).

Can't wait to do both!

But in the meantime, I am planning a to cycle the 30 miles to my mum's house tomorrow. Just because I can


2) I have managed to drag myself out of bed four out of five mornings so far this week to go to the gym.

Might not sound too impressive but it's a big thing for me as the type of arthritis I have is inflammatory which leaves me extremely fatigued virtually all of the time. So to get up before 5am on four occasions this week is a major victory. 5am is the only time I like going to the gym as otherwise it gets far too busy for my liking - not keen on having to wait around to use the equipment, especially when half of the other gym users can't be bothered to wipe down the kit after they've used it (shudders).

My cardio fitness health is now fair and not "bad/fair" for my age (31)

I'm 2 pounds away from being out of the 200's

11 pounds away from my minigoal of 191 which would bring me to the overweight bmi category

In a desperate attempt to not have to go swim suit shopping with all 3 kids (5&under) I tried on a suit top I bought 2 yrs and 20lbs lighter ago.

It fits
I wore it this afternoon
I felt AMAZING

Tears are welling up in my eyes as I post this(literally)...I found a pair of jeans I used to have to SQUEEZE into and they were so tight, I used to have to unbutton them after eating, this is what size I was this time last year or so (actually around 2017 or so). The stretch in these size 20w's as I examined them today is/was amazing. To think that I was thrilled to be out of squeezing into 22w's and to finally be getting into these size 20w (I remember it now after seeing these jeans like it was yesterday)...I remember how much JOY I felt about being able to fit them then and now I have that same JOY being a size 8. To SEE the HUGE difference in the size 8's I wear today (these are my go to jeans and I love them and they are getting a bit roomy for me, but they're boyfriend jeans AND I wear belts now, so--BOOM!

My sons said Mommy, I remember when you were that size, you were beautiful then, but you're super beautiful and skinny now and they HUGGED and KISSED me a lot! Side note: my sons, husband, daughters and the majority of all of my family are either skinny or slim and trim. FOR YEARS, I was the ONLY obese/overweight one in my entire family and let me tell you...it didn't feel good at all. NONE of my family members made me feel bad or ever said anything ugly to me about my size in those days...I guess they really didn't have to, because I myself made myself feel so bad during those day. I'M SO SUPER ULTRA MEGA GLAD THEY ARE OVER (the days of me being out-of control in so MANY areas in entire life--I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THE WAY I WAS (stubborn, obese, overweight and just WHACK, I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THE WAY I USED TO EAT/DRINK AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...THE WAY I USED TO THINK (ABOUT MYSELF AND EVERYTHING). Thank you Heavenly Father for giving me an entire new life and lifestyle and using ME to do it. YAY!!!!


Seriously, I am so, ummmmm, GRATEFUL and humbled and HAPPY to have found these (while helping my son's declutter their closets).

WOW!

My blood pressure yesterday was 131/68. It was about 145/90 to 150/95. This low sodium diet is paying off!

My BP this week was 103/66. High salt. Lots of cardio.

My NSV was Thursday. Wife wanted and got pizza. I had none of it.

Bought some running leggings on clearance without trying them on. I was a little worried they wouldn’t fit (I’m 2lbs up and generally feeling “blah”). Not only did they fit just fine, they have a little gap in the back of the waistband! And they aren’t black! Okay, very light gray but still...my behind is visible in some tight pants that aren’t black or navy and I’m in public.

I'm a slow runner. Today I completed my longest treadmill run both time and distance. 9 miles in 2:03. (Trail running is much easier for me). Two years ago I started running. 18 months ago I completed my first 5k, 6 months ago I completed my first 10k. In 6 months I will run my first half marathon. I am 60 years old and 60 pounds lighter than 3 years ago. Life gets better every day.

Hiking 10-14 miles a day on a 6 day hillwalking vacation in Scotland, along the Rob Roy Way. Glorious weather and views every single day. I think the Scots are fooling us by claiming poor weather! I've visited twice in the latter half of June now and have had 1 day of poor visibility each time, and almost no rain. No bugs, cool temps, and low humidity (compared to where I live). Such a wonderful place!
