I went to see the new Spiderman movie and didn't touch any popcorn or soda!

Strava gave me this year end report:
My 2021 Year in Sport




In July, I was recuperating from surgery.

I had to buy new jeggings for a funeral in June/July this year, I had no idea what size I was so I got an 18 and an optimistic 16. I couldn't get the 16s up over my legs so wore the 18s which were snug.

It's Christmas Jumper/own clothes week in work this week, I was going to wear my exercise leggings since they have a pocket (much needed in my job!) but my jumper isn't long so you'd see... everything! I tried on those 18s jeggings, too big! Tried the 16s, a little dance needed to get over the hips but they fit! Couldn't tell you the last time I wore a 16 bottom that wasn't PJs or elasticated leggings!

I made myself a handknit sweater a few years ago that I wear all the time in the Winter. It's my favorite color and style, and I love everything about it except one thing: I made the sleeves about an inch too short. It's not noticeable to other people, but it's always bugged me. I could fix them, but I'd have to unravel and reknit a good part of each sleeve, and I've never gotten around to doing it. So last week I put on the sweater and noticed the sleeves are now long enough because my upper arms aren't stretching the fabric anymore!! I couldn't wipe the smile off my face all day.

That made me smile. Good for you!

All of my business clothes are way too large now. Made the step of contacting the career counselor at my alma mater to see if there is a way I can donate my suits to any current students need any clothes for interviews.

Able to jump up with both feet at the same time onto my step aerobic platform. Before the left leg (with a rod & two screws in it) would always lag behind my right leg. My legs are getting stronger.

I'm working on my Everything Journal for 2022 which includes goal setting. Every year, I list lose weight and exercise more. This year, for the first time in countless years, my goal is to get to my maintenance weight and to add weight-lifting to an already fabulous exercise routine. 2021 is the year I started actively moving towards improved health. Woohoo!!

While I've been doing a 16/8 intermittent fasting Monday through Friday for about six months now I've added a 23 hour fast on Wednesday's. It's all about the autoghagy! It's really been a challenge with all the Christmas treats flooding the office!

I have not shopped outside of my house since I started my journey in March. I basically "shopped" the larger clothes to smaller dress clothes, right in my own closet..... ..Today, I needed dress pants and I had none small enough!

Lol. I may end up "shopping" in my sister's closest when I visit over the holidays. Won't help with pants (I'm taller) but there may be a dress or two I can snag!

I can't wait to shop my own closet! I'm wearing 10's soon to be in 8's. I've got 0-8's available. Need to get down a bit more yet. Almost all of the 8's are mainly summer weight pants and today is the first day of winter in the US!

My nsv is getting back into it. I've had a "minor depression" for a few weeks and I just could not. I did weight myself still but wasn't fully maintaining.
Now that it's gone I'm back into logging. Since going back into logging I've been losing again. I'm very very happy about feeling better mentally but also very excited to get back in the saddle and lose more.

This is a bit of a mindset victory more than anything else, but I thought other folks might find it helpful too.

The weight I've been losing can be seen in various parts of my body, but it hasn't had much of an impact yet on my belly (which I know is pretty normal). I've been sort of mildly sad about it, but today I thought "well, if I could just shift the fat in my belly to some place else on my body, where would I put it?" I realized then that I'd be sadder if I had to have it around my neck or even jigglier arms or really any where else on my body - and that I actually prefer it to be my belly. I'll still be happy when I do lose enough weight to shrink my belly too, but now I'm OK with that being the last thing to go.

That is genuinely such a good way of thinking. I think we all often get into that mindset of focussing on our bellies, but I know I'll be trying to remember this from now on!
