I was playing around with my clothes, and tried to put together a specific outfit I wanted to wear last year but couldn't because it was too tight. Well, when I styled it earlier this week, it wasn't so tight and looked great
Yesterday is my usual cycling day, but it was so windy I decided not to go, and felt out of sorts all day. Today it was still super windy but I went cycling anyway. I didn't go for as long as usual (it really was miserable going into the wind), but I felt much better for going.
Okay so here is one I did not anticipate happening. Stayed long at church today to chat with people and a friend who I haven't seen in a while came up. We shook hands and he eyeballed me and said, "hey are you losing weight?" I said something like yeah and he said, "on purpose?"
...He thought I was deathly ill. Granted, I didn't feel so hot this morning, but i'll be danged if he didn't mistake me for a terminal case.
so, FYI, I guess 32 pounds in 100-ish days is enough to make people wonder if you're sick.
I rode almost 10 miles on my bike! That to me is a huge NSV because I could barely ride around the block before! I am going to continue to increase my mileage. There are lots of cool places to visit that are within biking distance.
I was on a zoom call with someone who I haven’t spoken to since before COVID and he commented I had lost weight and looked good.
I think this is quite a NSV since the video is face only, so while I’ve lost a significant amount in the last year I think it’s more obvious when you see all of me 😊
I got through a whole weekend without exceeding my calories budget!
Also, it's an NSV even though it's just by chance - all my nice carefully-chosen outerwear from the past few years still fits well enough to wear. I caught my gain before I couldn't fit into it for the chilly Canadian fall/winter.
I beat the year... 1020KM anyways. Met my goal of before my 63rd bday in mid-Oct. Mostly walking dog, virtual (drat 2020) 5Ks & 10Ks and some treadmill in the winter. I walk, I am not a runner.
I put on 2 lb over the last 7 days and this morning I was soooo looking at a "feeling sorry for myself binge".... Not much of an NSV I hear you say....
Well, what I actually did was to eat 4 pieces of Ryvita Crisp Bread for breakfast and then head to the gym.
Clocked up over 5 miles (a lot for me) on the bikes and really upset my arms and shoulder muscles with the weights workout.
Feeling great now and raring to get some more weight off before the "Weights and Measures Day" on Sunday!
Also, the 16 pluses are starting to feel a little looser than is comfortable. Though not quite to the point where I can't wear them. This is very encouraging.
I went for a bike ride with the whole family yesterday. I love that it was all together and building a healthy lifestyle. When we got home, we walked the dog together. This is a great and healthy change and makes me grateful for starting this journey.
This is weight related...but also now I UNDERSTAND why it’s shared so much!
I’m not obese on the BMI chart anymore!!!!!
Holy moly I have been hovering so ridiculously close to this edge I just plain gave up on caring about it.
Then, just for kicks I checked again today.
Yep. Wasn’t expecting to feel this excited and motivated by this! Hahaha
Congrats
I can’t wait till I get there!
I tell people that my goal is to be overweight.
My long term goal is according to BMI overweight. It’s at the low end of that range.
As the weather cools I found my long pants that fit pre-mfp. I don’t have to zip or unbutton them to put them on.
These pants size 22-20-18 The 16 ones I have to unbutton. I Was looking a pair of 14s on the top, shelf I found a pair they are size 12. Well I decided to just give them a try. I put them on buttoned them, a little snug but I can breathe. I zipped them, I don’t like the way they fit right now muffin top, but omg they buttoned zipped!!!

Honestly, I thought it was funny.

My version of this was my partner interrupting a hug out of surprise to tell me that he could feel the ribs in my back!
