This muscle!

I've been training for a 10k with my son - we started with the C25K and continued from there, once we could run a 5k without stopping, so it's back to run/walk intervals.
Last night, as we were short of time, we decided to run a straight 5k instead. And we RAN. As in RAN, not jogged. It felt different to usual. Halfway through, my son asked if we were going faster than normal as he felt that we were. I also thought that we were going faster so I just said that we'd look at the clock when we'd finished.
We knocked at least three minutes off our street-running time (ParkRun times are always faster, not sure why, maybe driven on by others, maybe because there are no roads to cross). And that was with crossing 16 roads, so without having to stop each time, we'd have been even faster.
It was a really good run as well. Running late at night obviously suits us37 -

@Madwife2009, so awesome that you share this time and activity with your son! Wonderful role model short term and amazing memories long term for both of you!

About 1/3rd of the way to my goal, and while many amazing effects have been realized, the first real victories happened only recently...
I used to fly frequently for work, but since switching jobs (to a much more active one) I haven't traveled at all except just yestersay on a planned girls trip to Miami.
On the trip yesterday I could cross my legs comfortably in the airplane seat! No foot sticking onto the aisle, no ankle resting on knee. Legs fully crossed in an airplane seat.
And today, I was just a little late leaving for my flight and had to run to get from security to my gate for boarding... several minutes of running/speedwalking and I wasn't out of breath at all. I even had time to use the bathroom! (The realest victory of all.)

When this first happened to me I absolutely felt something missing...oh yeah, my muffin top. ( I have a mini muffin top now if that :-)) I didn't realize that my arms rubbed before this. I'm still getting used to my body taking up less space, even if it is only 20% less space at this point. It makes a difference!15 -

I lost a wedding ring that way. Get a ring guard to ensure it stays on your finger until you're ready to have it resized.9 -
I just noticed my back rolls are gone!! Happy dance!24

@MissMaggieMuffin That's really kind of you to say so. I do like running with my son as it's a bit of "us" time which we don't get very often. When we'd finished the C25K, he said he didn't want to do the 10k top-up.
A few weeks of running a straight 5k, he decided to carry on with the 10k programme. At the moment he's saying that there is no way he's carrying onto a half-marathon but I think that he will . . . after the half, I'm heading for a full marathon. I told my daughter two years ago that I wanted to run a marathon before I got to a point whereby I couldn't do it. It finally looks as though that ambition may just be achievable . . .
My teenage daughter has just started the C25K with me as well. I'm working on my other son who is muttering about doing some running, so we'll see. My 4yo already does Junior ParkRuns, so just the husband to get involved now - he used to run, maybe he'll start again23 -
Watched a video of myself from early summer and noticed a big difference in just the 20 pounds lost since then. I've found that the more I lose, the more significant each loss looks, especially in my face.22

Wore smaller sized new dress clothes to work today. Had 3 different people comment that I am definitely losing weight. One remarked that I am disappearing. Good to hear those comments, but I tell them I have a lot more to lose. Definitely appreciated to hear such nice things though.18

Skyped with a friend who I haven't seen in 1 month and he mentioned I look thinner. Why, I am. Thank you! ;-)
Non-NSV: I bought a pair of very stretchy jeans about this time last year when I was 10 lb bigger. They still fit tight in the legs, but kind of stretched in the waist. They don't fit poorly enough for me to get a new pair.... And I kinda just want to get new jeans already14 -
The park we run at is underwater at the moment (thanks Harvey) so we ran our c25k on the treadmill at the gym. NSV for my husband as well since he said he was really looking forward to running today and didn't want to skip it.
Also: counting my blessings and praying for the folks who are suffering from the storm.19 -
wore my new jeans (36" waist) to work today - so sitting all day, and they are comfy
and I didn't over heat putting them on after swimming! big win there as I always have dreaded putting on tight jeans! (I say tight, some may say they fit!)
and my mate said they are still baggy around the legs! (no way will a 34" fit yet so just have to cope)15 -
Didn't think I'd be back so soon, but...
During my recent trip I went to a concert and really wanted to get this one particular t-shirt, because for a whole host of reasons the singer and song are tied into my weight loss/self love/health improvement journey. I resolved to get it one size too small, partly for motivation and partly to remind myself not to be afraid or ashamed of numbers on a tag. Wouldn't you know they only had a small available.
I got it anyway.
The small fits.
Now it's just a matter of fitting better.30 -

Or you can do like I did and buy a cheapo one until you are sure you are going to keep the weight off. Although my cheapo one is too big now...I get so nervous when I think about being "fat me" again.

Temp was 48F when dog and I left the house this morning for our 3 1/2 mile walk, so I threw a light jersey over my T and shorts. It was the first time I wore that jersey since May, and today it nearly covered my entire shorts! Only the bottom inch could be seen.
That's when I realized my butt and hips no longer held up the jersey, and it fell straight down! Happy me & happy dog22 -
Wearing my skinny jeans today - tight in the legs but too big in the waist!20

The tightest pants I own no longer give me a waist rash after wearing them all day.21
