One of my sisters is getting married in January and wants to go look at bridesmaids dresses in a couple weeks before everything goes crazy for the other sister's wedding. So I tried on a bunch of old formal/prom dresses that my mother's kept (she's definitely a hoarder, why she kept my prom dress when I was willing to part with it is completely unclear to me) to get an idea of what size I am atm. My prom dress was too big on me! I fit into several of the dresses the size down from there. I'm pretty pleased with myself today. Though now I'm definitely not ordering the bridesmaids dress until the end of summer so I'll have a better idea of what my size will actually be in January.22

Did the "mini-run" with my littlie - we ran twice as far as last time, across the playing field and back again. My toddler thought it was a race so of course she "won".
The swans only have four eggs now. Not sure what's happened to the other four - they may have hatched (we didn't see both swans as the lake has an island in the middle and is huge so we didn't have time to search for any possible cygnets.15 -
I got a bike for my birthday and while I have used it several times with the kiddos I haven't had a chance to go on a nice long ride by myself. Friday afternoon I was finally able to do so and did a six mile loop that included MANY hills. First time I have done that in over 20 years!
Also, I started Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred on May 1st and am moving up to Level 2 tomorrow. I am waiting until the halfway point to take measurements but I can already feel my clothes being looser and was able to get through every day with no breaks or skipping anything!
Finally, I had an event I had to speak at yesterday so I dressed up to look the part. I got SO many compliments on how fabulous I looked - from those who knew the bigger me and those that didn't as well!30 -
New undies!! Was in a size 9 for way too long, after finally noticing my undies were baggy I bought new and I'm down to a size 6. Other nsv is having to add 3 new holes on my belt because I am confident enough to wear jeans again!21

Recently ordered new workout shorts in a size Large instead of XL, and that feels great!25

I had the best NSV ever today. After losing 71 pounds, I was running around today at work and MY SPANX FELL DOWN! Like all the way down, past my butt, to the FLOOR. it was hilarious. Thankfully I don't think any one saw me or realized what had happened, but it was just plain awesome to think that my butt has shrunk so much that my Spanx fell off. And you know what, maybe I don't need them anymore!54

I have a much healthier relationship with food and exercise now. I ended up overeating today (penne arrabiatta is a weakness of mine) and instead of freaking out and forcing myself back on a crash diet level of calories to punish myself, I shrugged it off and did a bit more time on the elliptical than I usually do.28

This mayyyyy cross over the line into TMI...But I'm sharing it anyway!
Over the years as I've progressed towards the healthy lifestyle I've always longed for my mental health (concerning thoughts about my body and my ability to be positive even when not perfect) have also improved IMMENSLEY. Win #1 because this was a DEFINITE part of my goal.
However. I've also experienced a new level of body awareness that's actually pretty awesome, though strange. It's especially helpful when I'm fighting to be positive.
A few months ago I noticed a correlation between "fat" days (awful days when it seems as if nothing fits and my progess is lost forever and I'll never get where I want to be) and...here it goes...having to poop! What!? But YES! Turns out, probably 90% of the time when I'm down mentally because of feeling "fat" it's because I need to poop and I haven't yet! I've been tracking this for all of 2017 so far and seriously, there's a very high percentage of the time when I feel this way mentally and it turns out a simple bathroom trip literally causes me to feel light, and healthy and awesome again. It's quite strange, I know! so win number one is that my mental positivity has changed enough that I'm not stuck in a rut and beating myself up all the time. It's really quite rare that I have "fat" days anymore and usally they're 30mins of a "fat" mindset before Truth pours in and those lies are put to bed. Win number two? Body awareness! Discovering that the fat illusion is actually connected to how my body feels in the moment. Woo!

Also, one more. Ok a few more.
I used to be a runner. But an injury sidelined me in college and then I pursued to get my mental health in order before committing myself to exercise in the future. (Exercise was a form of purging for me...NO MORE!!)
Working out with fitnessblender free YouTube videos has be instrumental in both my physical health as well as putting those last few pieces of mental health in place. Kelli and Daniel are awesome. This winter is the very first that I've worked out consistently. And I can tell!
The warm weather and desire to be outdoors in quiet morning stillness before the hubby leaves for work and kids are out of bed prompted me to start the C210k program. I ran a 5k back in November and just a few weeks ago ran the fist time since and was able to go for 15mins. WIN!! So I'm sarting on week 4 of C210k
All that story to say that running at 6 this am in the quiet spring air was MARVELOUS. This is what I hoped and hoped and prayed for when I was injured and realized my motives for running weren't healthy all those 10yrs ago.
FREEDOM.
Mentally.
And because of fitnessblender workouts FREEDOM physically as well. I'm strong in ways I've never been before and I can enjoy running even MORE because of it.
So much Joy. Soooooo much joy!!!

I've been frequenting thredup lately to try to replenish my wardrobe for less money than buying all new clothes. Today I found two dresses I used to wear all the time in smaller sizes and it was crazy to order a 6 in a dress that I used to wear in a 14 and a small in a dress that I used to wear an xl. It's so encouraging especially when the scale hasn't been my friend for the past couple of weeks.27

Guess who can wear a size 12 jeans now?? Yup this girl right here!!!!!35

I walked in the free weights area filled with buffed dudes and performed my exercises. This took ages to get done been limiting myself to machines and cardio but finally I'm there26

Normally when walking I may glance down and always see belly sticking out past bust.
Today was walking and had to bend forward to see belly. Then wondered why I was, 'checking I was still there'!! weird brain moment. but yay less belly!29 -
My son walked into the kitchen and told me I looked skinny.29

Just checked my food diary from 5 weeks ago and I'm at the exact protected weight MFP said I would be at! I often think "oh I wish" when I see that projected number each day. Now I know I can do it!25

So proud of this - after training hard on hills and doing some really steep bursts I tackled a climb in Wales that my mate and I usually just walk up.
My mates been "training" with me and we thought we'd give it a go this time.
Not only did we do it - I had the Garmmin on which gave the eye-watering fact that this is a 16-17% incline.
The hill goes on for miles after that with gradients between 8-9% which we usually do manage - but this time we were chatting and not even out of breath despite this level of steepness. Way to go,both of us!!23 -
I had to visit my doctor's clinic today to get a test done by the nurse. Usually she does some general health checks at the same time and for the first time ever I was walking in with my internal monologue being"please weigh me today" she did and for the first time in my life I wasn't embarrassed to get on that scale27

Awesome, just awesome.
I can't wait for this moment; I fear it will be a very long wait as my belly is a bit too comfortable and doesn't want to leave. Doesn't help that my boobs have vanished into the ether either12 -
My new work trousers are feeling baggy now!19
