I just realized that I haven't had a soda in over a week. I normally drink a diet Dr. Pepper or Diet Mountain Dew.

Pretty pleased with myself...I have been working up to a 5k run/ race in April and I am doing c25k on the treadmill to prepare for that. Im at week 3 day 3. It's been fine, running at 6 (10 minute mile), but challenging. I decided that I had better start running outside to get used to that as it is very different from the machine. Well, today, my first time outside, I ran the full 5K. Slowly, sure, but I ran it in its entirety. Take that, haters! I am chuffed.

i do not care about Thigh Gap. i'm too old to give a damn about what arbitrary body fashion is 'in' anymore, and i'm not built that way either. i've traced my leg muscles all the way up to their origins and i know.

but i've been keeping an eye on my weight and trying to gently nudge it back down by a final handful of pounds, so it was nice when i was outside a moment ago with my back to the sun, and saw that even by trying i can't make my 'leg's meet anymore except for way up at the top.

I actually saw my stomach go in when I squeezed it. I tried numerous times before to squeeze in my stomach, but it was too big. Now I can't stop! Awesome !

LOL. Yup. I think my husband is getting tired of me saying "Feel my stomach. There's muscle under there! Feel it!!"

This saturday morning I got up early to attend body pump at the gym. I finished the class without feeling like I am dying, so next time I think I need to up the weights. I was able to make it this morning as last night when socialising I didn't drink and preplanned by taking some 'on plan' snacks and some fancy fizzy water. Not sure which is the biggest NSV

I am finally at a point that I think my legs look normal and a bit toned- I usually refer to them as my thunder thighs. I no longer have those unsightly fat pockets around my knees. Never in a million years did I think I'd have legs like this.

I'm a deep sleeper with vivid dreams. For as long as I can remember I have been fat in my dreams. Even though I've held a 90 pound loss for almost a year, I'm still fat in my dreams.
Until last night. I was my normal size in all the dreams I remember having. Could it be that my mind is FINALLY catching up to reality? It is such a weird realization.

Saying no after 1 glass of wine after coming back from France. We were drinking a bottle over lunch and dinner. Habits are hard to break!

I just went into three mall stores that I never would have had the confidence to look around in previously because I was too big.
I tried stuff on and it fit!

A month ago I set a new 5K PR at 25:33.

This morning I ran a 5K and shaved 23 seconds off that for a new PR of 25:10.
Also set a 1K PR at 4:50 and a mile PR of 7:56. I've never done a sub 8 minute mile before.

On top of all that I placed first in my age group.

Today has been a good day.

This week I walked 44kms. 5 weeks ago I would have walked 0kms ☺

Two weeks in and juuuuust starting to notice a a few differences- oh hello slight jaw line, oh hello looser leggings

I went to Tae Kwondo tonight and managed 25 push-ups. Okay, so they were on my knees but only because I know we were in for a lot of them, next time I'm gonna go for broke and do non-modified ones. When I started 4 months ago I could only do 2 modified ones in a row and we don't do them every week.

Actually, I guess I should start building them into my everyday routine.

This is hubby's NSV (he is a member with a 170 day streak yay) but besides that he has just taken up walking everyday and I think this has led to him not falling asleep early in the evenings as usual, he looked pleased that I had noticed.

A few weeks ago I didn't have the motivation to do much. Now look at me!! Dates and times worked out are on the image.

Hottopic had an online sale two for $10 so I decided to order to shirts. They were flowy so I ordered a small but assumed that I would need to lose a few more pounds for them to fit good. Tried them on when they arrived and they fit perfectly!!

I did my monthly measurements and lost an entire inch around my hips.

Ran 7 miles yesterday! My longest yet.

I had several this weekend. I was just released to exercise a week ago.
1. I went roller skating and managed to skate 3/4 of the session. It was really slow, but felt great.
2. Made my pre-surgery step goal the last 3 days.
3. A man on Saturday, asked my BF if I was his girlfriend. He proudly responded yes, and the man told him I was beautiful. I have never had a stranger call me beautiful before.

Guys... I can RUN! I'm a RUNNER!

I wasn't really out of breath when I ran today. I'm positive I could have kept up a conversation.

I didn't feel the urge to quit. I wasn't scared I wouldn't make it.

I'm halfway though C25K and I'm just so thankful. I'm so happy my body is responding and improving. I'm enjoying life and enjoying what I can do! And I want more. And I'm thankful for that hunger.

1. Took a Pilates class and then drove to the Y and did 45 minutes on the elliptical! Excited that I could do that much physical activity without then collapsing on the couch.
2. My weight was plateaued for about a week and I didn't get discouraged and pig out like I would have in the past! I kept tracking and working out (and then the scale moved).

I went to the Free People store near me and fit into the size 29 pants again. They were tight, but there was no muffin top and I could easily button them.

My Hudson jeans that I got at Saks Off Fifth in January (that didn't fit me then...I had a huge roll of fat over them) now fit. I knew I'd be able to fit in them again.

My cheekbones are coming back.

When I was 13, my grandmother gave me a red velvet dress that had been hers. She'd received it as an anniversary present from my grandfather in the 1960s, it was a size 10.

I wore it to one concert, but hated it ; it was as hot as Hades, short in the arms, a little tight in the shoulders and bust, had an unflattering neckline and was a bad length for me. However, because it was from my grandmother I held onto it all these years (I'm 38!). If course, it never fit again.

Today I pulled it out of my closet and put it in the Goodwill pile. I decided to try it on. It fit perfectly. Nothing was too tight or too loose. However, it was still ugly. Really unflattering. So into the goodwill pile it went, and straight out to my car.

I can finally let go of my retrained "skinny clothes".

I squatted 205 ... on strong lifts 5x5... 5 reps 5 sets my goal is 275

I have a couple from last weekend:

1. Went shopping for a new dress, tried it on and the lady who worked at the store said it looked great because I had amazing curves. I used to take that as an insult, but I realized she meant it as a complement as I now have a defined waist! I'm learning to not be so defensive and to not be suspicious about any positive comment about my body.
2. I met a friend for brunch...after we went on a 6 mile run together! I didn't even need to wear headphones to drown out my huffing and puffing because we were having a nice conversation the whole way. I really never thought I'd see the day that I'd go for a run as a way to catch up with a friend I don't see often enough.

Was planning to get out on Saturday and ride my bike as it was predicted to be nice out but wasn't planning on riding Friday as it was low 40's with a strong wind. Needed to take the bikes in for some minor adjustments and went on up to the High Trestle Trail (Woodward Iowa) ended up going 20 miles. The first 10 was into the wind and so was glad to turn around and head back. Only saw one other biker on this popular trail and 5 walkers. Saturday was nearly 70 degrees so went out on the Great Western Trail and there were lots of bikers out. What a difference 30 degrees will make.

@tomteboda - doesn't it feel good to try something on before giving it away and the garment fits?! I did that recently too, but held on to my shirt for inspiration. It fits but it's a little tight.

I bought my wedding dress this weekend, and the sample size fit me perfectly. I was advised to order one size smaller since I am continuing to loose weight (and it's a corset back so I could still technically get into it as is, just wouldn't be a perfect fit). The bridal store gave me the measurements of the dress I ordered so I can know what to work towards, and I am already under two of the three measurements! Can't wait to be under all three.

I've also been told by a couple of friends the last two days that I am looking smaller. Those compliments keep me going when I am not seeing results in the mirror myself!

Since I've been walking on my treadmill for the last 7 days I finally don't feel miserable putting my pants on and off. I was literally miserable before. In only 7 days I'm feeling better about bending and moving around more if that makes sense.

From today at the dentist...blood pressure 120/65.
