I haven't been able to run in years due to gnarly shin splints. Turns out that the reason I had them was all my extra weight. Now that I've dropped 40 pounds I can jog without ending in excruciating pain. It's pretty awesome!3

I substituted steamed broccoli for the fries and applesauce for the coleslaw and was perfectly satisfied. I have hope that I can start eating out again and still stay within my calories!!
Awesome! Great job! It gets easier as long as you are comfortable ordering and asking for what you want. I had lunch out with friends on Friday and the server brought a brownie sundae to celebrate a birthday, even though we said no dessert. The old me would have eaten it because it was there and I wouldn't want to offend by leaving it. This time, I had one tiny bite and walked away from it happily.
I looked at the dessert menu and then said no. I told the kids the next time we'd come and just order dessert. They have dessert "minis" which are actually a nice portion without overwhelming calories. I don't know why they're called "minis," because they're not that small. Though maybe the old me would have been disappointed at the size.0 -
The other day I had to stop for a potty break on my run and a worker there yells out to me "You're a BOSS! keep it up boss!" Then looks at the lady next to him and says "Every day or night I see that girl out running"....I walked out thinking "you know what? I AM a boss hehe" . Then a few min later that same person happen to drive by me while I was running up a hill saying "You're a beast!" I run for me and my sanity but it is nice to occasionally be noticed for my hard work8

I cheered myself up yesterday with a dose of new-found perseverance. It was 7:30pm, had a hard day and my little kids seemed extra cranky, the house felt untidy and i had a headache...but hadn't done my run yet for the day. I felt like crawling into bed with a book and an extra blanket! However, i reminded myself that the only person i was cheating was myself, so i got out the door with my C25K program and ran... felt so good to overcome the minor diversions and do it because i know its so good for me. Of course, I came home feeling high, headache had gone and decided to give the laundry room a tidy up and clean (even mopped the floor at 9:30pm!)
Added bonus (and this is scale related so doesnt really belong here...but..) the scale was down another pound this morning - reward!!!.... YAYAAY!5 -
Yesterday, I turned down happy hour drinks with a friend I hadn't seen in a while because I wouldn't be able to get my 3 runs for the week in otherwise. This from a gal who used to make any excuse to cheat on food (not on my workouts b/c THAT was non-existent until this year!!) Feel GREAT about the decision today, and found out I get to see this friend this weekend anyway!!!! I feel like things could be turning around for realz this time:)2

Two and a half years of hard work deserves a reward. She arrived today my new fully adaptable dress form I never dared buying one as I carry my weight low, hence my hips and torso did not fit in the same dress form sizing.
She is a size S and does at no area need to be expanded to the maximum width.
I am so proud of myself when I see myself in that dressform. Oh and as she is red, she is called Ruby7 -
Sooo...today THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER TURNED DOWN FOOD I REALLY WANTED. FIRST TIME!! I was making a video for work. That's what I do. The event was a luncheon with Cajun food (my favorite). I told myself BEFORE that I would not eat any of that delicious gumbo, jambalaya, etoufee and fluffy, hot, spicy rice. And as everyone smacked their lips and offered me a plate, over and over and over...........I TURNED IT DOWN AND ATE MY SALAD!!!!! This is a victory. I know that if I could say no today, I can make it to my goal! Praise The Lord!!!!6

I walked over 100,000 steps according to my Fitbit last week. It came out to over 37 miles walked.5

I just came back from Vacation and started tracking my food again, which is great because usually after a break it takes a long time for me to get motivated again3

OK this is a first for me My panties are loose at he bottom of my cheeks.
I have never had that happen before but apparently that is where weight is coming from!3 -
I had an NSV that started from diet failure. I went 350 cal over goal at dinner (curse you, General Tso), but I was determined to end the day in the green. I figured it would take me 90 agonizing minutes on the stationary bike to burn it off. But to my surprise, I was able to sustain a 16.5 mph/145 bpm pace for 60 minutes relatively painlessly. Eight weeks ago, 20 minutes at 13mph was the absolute limit of what I could do.

Wow, congratulations!0 -
I mitigated a binge by moderating my calories for the rest of the day. I only ended up *slightly* over my goal for the day. I also made it out for a walk, which I should be doing everyday but haven't managed in a while. A neighbor whom I don't recall meeting before saw me and said "There she is! Where have you been?" Knowing that I am, in fact, NOT the only one who knows if I get my walk in should help motivate me to keep it up!2
