Today I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Bad sleep, bad mood, felt bloated/old/blah, etc....One of those days you want to hide and can't. Thankfully it's going better now thanks to these NSVs:

1.) I made myself go to the gym anyway.

2.) I discovered a GREAT workout to do on days like this.

First I did the 30-minute beginner express circuit that uses light weights and high reps. The machines are simple to use, and there's a traffic light that tells you when to stop and start.

After that, I walked on the treadmill at a slow pace with the incline cranked up. The incline got my heart rate up without the mental stress of running, so it suited my mood perfectly.

I tend to judge myself harshly if I'm not challenging myself every time, but you know what? Some days I'm just not mentally up for that, and that's OK. Now I have an effective yet "braindead" routine that will let me suceed even when nothing else seems doable. Yay!

I really need this inspiration today! I'm going back to the gym this afternoon after a week hiatus. I slept like crap, I snacked too much yesterday, dinner was too heavy on my stomach and unfortunately lunch is left overs. I have no desire to cook. Im bored. Hopefully I can share in your NSV!

I bought one of those weighted hoop things and it was for a 47 inch waist- I figured I’d have to buy an extension. It fit!! I’ve apparently lost inches off my waist without the scale moving.

I have a piece of paper beside my bed with three weights. 115kg, 110kg and 105kg. 115 took a while to tick off, and yesterday I was able to tick off 110kg after struggling for months. My weight is now sitting at 107.5kg, so I'm unlikely to go above 110kg again unless I ditch my lifestyle change.

Soon I'll be able to make a new piece of paper with 100kg, 95kg and 90kg. Woohoo! Honestly, it felt like it was never going to happen.

Once I get below 105kg, I'll be able to ride my scooter again. I'm excited for that. It was my goal to hit 105kg by my birthday and it finally looks possible. My weightloss stalled because I went on holiday for a week and was eating really indulgent meals and then I was sick for several weeks (I'm still sick, but doing ok).

After 12 weeks and -20 lbs, I’m finally to the point of noticing some cool changes. The most recent happened last week. I was riding my bike and noticed I was faster. But what surprised me was my shirt was flapping in the wind! Something I didn’t know I missed, but noticed when it suddenly appeared again. It was great!

My dad said my stomach looks leaner, which it didn't to me, until I looked down and could see my feet more easily!

When sitting at the lat machine at the gym, I noticed in the mirror that my stomach looks smaller.

Borrowed my partner’s running jacket and it fit over my hips with no issues.

Clothes are starting to hang on me. Also walked 2 miles today (having needed a wheelchair for a while and going through multiple rounds of PT, the fact that I was able to start walking again at all was a huge blessing, but 2 miles is the longest I've walked in 1 shot without a break in a long time).

I made exercise a priority in my life today. I entered exercise times on my calendar, so I will prioritize them when making other commitments.

I love reading these updates!!! Keep up the good work everyone.

I'm noticing that everything is so much easier now. Standing up from my bed, chairs, car seats, the floor... bending down to pick things up... cleaning... carrying stuff... walking... I'm no longer exhausted all the time. I can feel a huge difference even compared to July and August, when I had already started losing weight and my clothes were fitting better, but exercise and just regular moving-around were still quite the chore. This is incredibly rewarding, especially knowing that it's only going to get better.

When I look front on through my laptops webcam, there's no double chin :-D

Was going to order a chai latte from McDonalds, but for the calories, decided I would enjoy a mcflurry much more

Had a Hersheys pie today and gave my dad half! (it was too sweet and I wanted less calories)

I'm an emotional eater, and when I wanted to stress eat yesterday I made myself a chicken ceasar salad instead of reaching for a bag of chips!

My size 18 dress is loose on me even though it used to strangle me
