I purchased an elliptical (used) because working from home doesn't have me moving around enough during the day and I've got lbs. to lose. Well 1st week with it here and I've worked out 5 days in a row. It's been hard, lots of excuses for not getting on but I managed to push through and get my workouts in 💪
My workout last night with my PT had 42 total pushups. Six months ago, I could barely do 5 on my toes with good form. I did every single pushup on my toes and with good form. On top of everything else she had me do in the workout.
Sat with bowl of chips directly in front of me. Didn’t eat one. Nor any cheese dip. Also declined wine. I’ve been exercising a ton, but that has led to “well, I can justify this extra wine/dessert/chips” far too often. So I’m cutting back on a bit on exercise (hip has been protesting) and tightening up logging. Three days of this and I have more energy and am feeling more hopeful that I can budge these holiday più that have hung on since Thanksgiving.

I wish I cold have been there to see if you decided to have some cheese dip without the chips....
You DO know why the sea monster didn't eat the ship full of potatoes, right?
Bought new fleece lined pants at Costco-size medium. Figured they’d be slightly snug. I was surprised to find they’re slightly big in the waist & ever so slightly loose in the hips. I am VERY pleased 😀
Fitting back into some of my favourite clothes that have been in the ‘too snug’ category for a while. Also had some clothes delivered that I ordered a size down and all fit!
Not sure if this is a victory, but I had the first person ask if I had a operation and then insisted I must be on some medicine. Which kind of felt good and bad.
Also I went and got more holes put in my belt, I really need to buy a new one because things are getting stupid, but I like keeping this one to see progress.
The other day doing yoga I managed to get to get into this arm balance called eight angle. Pretty excited about that, as I had seen the pose on Instagram and had no idea I would actually be able to do it.
I always have hockey on Sunday evenings and usually end up eating everything in sight when I get home. Yesterday, I prelogged before I left for the rink and I stuck to my plan! I can be really good at justifying that since I burned such and such *estimated* amount of calories, I can eat more so I was proud that I could stick to what I prelogged.
I made it a whole month working out 3 times a week and eating healthy with a few junk foods here and there. Previously if I had allowed myself to eat candy or junk food, I would fall apart. Completely give up. Not this time!
I’ve recently started C25K again and am on to week 2. Yesterday I was in a funk all day and didn’t feel like doing anything. After I’d put my partner to bed for night shift I went out to feed my horses then decided to just go for my C25K even if it was slow. I felt so much better for it.
Then this morning for the first time in what seems like forever, I woke up with my 4:40am alarm and walked out to feed my horses then came back to complete 10 x 1 minute intervals of skipping. Today I feel so much better than I did yesterday and I really think the exercise has a LOT to do with it

Never thought I'd wear them again! Glad I hoarded them now 😂
Next goal is wear a crop top I bought before I met my partner 9 years ago and fit in it and more importantly feel confident in it!
