I walked more than 80,000 steps last week.

My next door neighbour commented on my weight loss for the first time.

Got the same! My neighbor yelled out, "Hey slim" as I was passing his house going for a run. Felt good and weird at the same time :-)

I'm meeting with a powerlifting coach Thursday! EEEeeeee!!!

I squatted more than I weigh doing 5x5 Stronglifts, and the owner of my tiny local gym came up to me during my rest period to tell me that he was impressed with my progression and that I was killing it.

Every couple of weeks I get a treat lunch at the local Greek restaurant. They're really good at giving me lots of salad with only a little rice for my meal. Last week, the woman who serves the food noticed my weight loss & complimented me on it and asked how I did it. I told her about MFP, and now she's going to look into it!

Also: new puppy in 2 weeks! Whee! More dog training incoming!

My father, who self-identifies as "completely oblivious" to changes in other people, told me last night at our weekly dinner that: 1. I looked really nice, 2. he could tell I've "been losing some weight," and 3. he was proud of me for doing so.

This is the first time in my entire 35 years that he's commented on weight loss in a positive manner. If he ever did notice weight loss, he usually would say something along the lines of "don't waste away to nothing" or "you are looking sickly/too thin" (note: I've never been in a normal BMI range in my life).

It made our weekly dinner together extra nice.

I did not buy that package of peanut M&Ms from the vending machine.


Stupid vending machine was out of order... Does it still count as an NSV?

I had a similar thing happen to me last week. Tried to get sour patch kids from the vending machine at work, but it wasn't accepting cards and I didn't have cash with me.

Victories are victories no matter the root cause of them. Sometimes we need a little help from outside forces.

I am slowly getting back into the swing of things. This AM I did 2 miles in under 20 minutes on the elliptical and did 24 pull-ups in 5 sets (7x5x5x4x3). Slow and steady.

I did over 10,000 steps at the Women's March in Washington on Saturday, despite standing stationary for several hours!! WHOOOP!!!

I did Week 1 Day 1 of c25k this morning and completed all of it! Yee haw!!! If I'd run any slower I'd have been going backward, but I don't care. It was jogging for a total of 8 minutes. I really almost can't believe it. Looking forward to Wednesday.

The hubby took the kids & I for dinner, then ice cream. I skipped the ice cream run all together! That's huge for me! Declining to take something yummy is totally out of character for me. Usually I would stuff my face with something delish, and then pay for it with a stomach ache later. On my way to creating better habits!

I remember that day!! I was almost dying by the end of the 60 second runs. I also run so slowly (about 3.5mph) but I now run for 40 minutes 3 times a week!! I NEVER thought I'd be able to say I can run for 40 minutes!!. AND I don't feel like I'm dying but the end of it. It's an amazing feeling. Stick to C25K and stay running as slow as possible and you WILL make it!

Add me if you like, and well done!

I realized that I've saved so much money over the past year not eating out at lunch every day that I can take a week-long cruise in May. Woohoo!

(Also, if my FitBit is to be remotely trusted, I did so much activity on Saturday that I negated 3x my daily calorie allowance.)

This weekend I walked twice. I decided Saturday to see what would happen if I jogged just for 20 feet from time to time. I didn't die so Sunday I jogged for 30 seconds at a time every couple of minutes. That didn't kill me either. This is huge for me because I've been told that due to my osteoarthritis I'll never be able to run but my knees feel fine today. Of course a doctor told me 21 years ago that I'd never be under 200 lbs "from carrying all that weight around all those years" and I weigh One-something.

Exactly I've cut way down on mindless eating/snacking. Willpower? Not really. I got Invisalign and I'm not supposed to eat with the trays in and I have to brush and floss after eating. Makes me think if that snack is worth it!

I need me some of those outside forces more often

Thanks for that encouragement! 40 minutes sounds super impossible, but so did 60 seconds. By a fluke, my trainer was with me this morning b/c I had to reschedule our normal Tuesday workout. I was so glad he was because he kept telling me, "Slow down!" If he hadn't, I might have bonked, but I didn't.
