I used to be so, so self conscious about my arms and back and now I bought this dress and tried it on and only afterwards realized that I hadn't even thought 'oh, can I wear this, how will this look, etc.'
Very happy to get more at ease in my own body.

I've actually learned not to eat my feelings.
I had an emotionally challenging week, the kind that in the past would have had me self-soothing with multiple binges. Instead of eating I did more walking, journalling and meditating.
When I went through a similarly tough time a couple of months ago, I told myself that it was a fluke that I didn't overeat. This time I realized that my emotional growth is just as real as my physical shrinking.

A lady just stopped me at the gym to tell me my figure is “perfect”, that my waist is “so tiny”, and that she was admiring my squats. Made my morning!29

DH and I went canoeing today with the slack tide. No problem! 1 hour later we started the return trip with a strong incoming tide and wind. Add another 2 1/2 hours and we made it back. Caught a nice sea trout on the return for dinner. Last year we would not have been able to do this. We are so proud of ourselves!29

Some exercise, some fishing and fresh sea trout for dinner. That would be on my list of perfect days! Nice!

Someone mentioned they could see a big different in my face. She said, "look at your little face." (LITTLE!) I can see it in the mirror, too. In my 20s, a relative told me that when I gain weight I get a "moon face" and after that I hated my round face when I was heavier. Glad to see it gone again. I now have a square face with my mother's chin instead of a big round face.22

Swim circuits instructor tried to kill me this morning! In previous weeks he made me push a brick, then week after 2 bricks for a length to try and stop me. No joy! still did the length.
So this morning he handed me a float belt!! AND I STILL DID THE LENGTH!! and got compared to a shark!! haha
he said to the other guy, 'It's like when you harpoon a shark and the float slows them'.
It was very difficult to get the pulls right with the float and the brick, but feel so chuffed!!
also saw a mate I haven't see in a while and he said I was looking really good! so yay!!15 -
Mon-Wed are not my favorite days at the gym. I love working out but hate crowds, which is why I go between 4:30-5am, there is usually the same crowd at the gym during this time, for lack of a better term "the regulars" and there's respect for each other and equipment, but on Mon-Wed you get the people starting a new program or trying to make up for the weekend. I get that, been there, done that. I just don't like it. For some reason I have been slower getting to the gym so when I got there today it was CROWDED, groups sharing equipment, people all over. People taking 3 sets of dumbbells and hoarding them. Not putting weights back using 2-3 benches for their circuit workout. I normally would be aggravated but today I just put on my headphones and did the workout I could. I adapted where needed, worked in with a few people and got thru my workout. THAT is an NSV for me. I normally just get angry and get a horrible workout in. I don't listen to music (normally) when working out, I listen to sermons, today I was listening to a pastor named Jeff Durbin, he looks like a Hipster but is just s great Apologetics style guy who pulls no punches. Today as I was working out he said during the sermon (at the MOMENT I needed it) "There is no shade of gray in the Gospel, it just is the Gospel and that's how you share it, Jesus didn't pull punches so you shouldn't either. Its like working out, just get it done and lift the weight or do the run, don't compromise!"28

A guy bench pressing heavy at the gym asked me to spot him. I told him I didn't feel safe spotting him at that weight (more than 300 lbs), and found someone else for him, but it was flattering to be asked!
My upper body strength improves so slowly! I can incline bench 75 lbs now, which is almost twice what I started at. I had a major setback due to my shoulder earlier this year. But I am improving, even if it is slow. And I really like my gym, everyone is polite and treats me just the same as they treat each other.12 -
I was out with girlfriends last night I had not seen in at least 3 years...when I weighed 250..they all got to the restaurant before me so when I walked up to the table they all looked up at me but no one said anything. It took them a few seconds to reconcile who I was. I liked it. When they were all done going on with hugs and such, I told them my favorite part of this journey has been having a neck again....LOL.37
