Out of the "morbidly obese" category into "obese". Im so excited to be "overweight", lol

Holy crap I just realized I'm out of the morbidly obese category and into the "severely obese" category! Yay! I know it doesn't sound good compared to some people but considering I started in a high 40s maybe even 50 It's great for me so far. I'll take that NSV any day.

Congrats to both of us lol!

Even small progress is progress! Great job!

The regular ladies XL clothes I tried on fit yesterday. I can't remember the last time I shopped in a section other than plus-sized (other than Old Navy and their crazy inconsistent sizes).
And I dropped off three donation trash bags full of old clothes. Adios!

lost another half inch off my waist!

I had cataract surgery last Wednesday. While waiting to be wheeled into surgery, they had me hooked up to various monitors. I kept setting off the heart rate monitor. Why? They had the minimum set at 50, and my supine resting heart rate kept dropping to 48/49. Diagnosis: The surgeon confirms this is fitness-induced bradycardia! (To those who are worried, I've been fully checked out in the past, and have no/zero/nada symptoms of cardiac anomalies. I'm extremely active, especially for a 60-year-old woman. And I seem to have dropped a few more beats in resting rate now that the heart that used to power an obese-but-active body is now powering a tinier me.)

I spent quite a bit of time kicking my feet above the gurney, just to make the "ding-ding-ding" noise stop.

Being able to comfortably fit into my clothes again!

Tried on some of my pre-pregnancy shorts today, even though I'm a few lbs above pre-pregnancy weight...and they are loose! It's amazing how much lifting weights can change body shape. Yay!

Completed c25k on Friday and then ran yesterday for longer.

It's obscene how proud I am of myself, but I don't think I've enjoyed exercise since I was about 16 and I'm 33 now. I'm going to embrace it!

We launched our boat for the season on Sunday, and I had to tighten the strap on my life vest several inches since last fall.

Today I ran 41 minutes, non stop. A month ago I was at 20 min and did not think I would make it, or WANT to make it, to 40 minutes. 40 was the goal I set after finishing C25K sooner than expected 2 weeks ago. Three months ago I could not run 1 minute and honestly did not think my 61 year old body would ever let me make it past 10 minutes. 2 years ago I could not WALK 1/4 mile without excruciating pain.[/quote. Wonderful!!

Kicked my own butt last night for a fitbit competition with coworkers. Starting C25K put me ahead, but I didn't get off that treadmill until I had a 3000 step lead! It felt amazing despite how tired I was afterward.

What is c25k? I've seen a lot of people refer to it.

Was able to jog for 8 minutes yesterday- haven't done that in years! Also, my teenage daughter told me my jeans were too baggy yesterday- a size down from my usuals and they are too baggy?!- it made me smile!

One of my friends pointed out that when I said, 'I've lost so much weight that 100 squats doesn't seem like work until about the 90th." was a NSV

It's a running training app. C25K stands for Couch to 5K. It's an 8 week program that gradually increases the running while decreasing the walking. I've completed it and am now running multiple 5Ks a week, this being when starting at the beginning the 1 minute run got me breathing hard. It's a great tool if you're interested in improving your cardio ability

Couch to 5K. It's a running program designed to take you from couch potato to running a 5K, or 30 minutes, in 8 weeks. (Or longer if you need to repeat a few weeks! ) It's great for a beginner runner, and helps avoid burnout!

Ran my first 5 K in 20 years. Sub 30 minutes.
