I can run for 30 minutes straight.

I can walk for miles and miles and miles.

I can walk up the stairs to work every day.

I can say no to certain foods.

I can go without soda! Haven't had one since 1/11.

I can do real push ups.

I can fit into my old clothes.

I passed my Police agility test which I know I couldn't have done before:)

My knees had started to hurt when I'd go up a flight of stairs or walk too far. NOW I can walk much greater distances, climb more flights of stairs at one time AND the pain in my knees is gone! I've also noticed that I don't do that "roll and grab" when I get up off the floor after exercising. You know, roll over, grab the nearest sturdy object and pull yourself up. Now I can simply stand from a sitting position after my exercises! That was when I knew I was on my way to a better, healthier body!

I can run a 5k (slowly, lol!)
I feel guilty if I don't run 3 x a week (that is a first)
I look better than I did 5 years ago

I can now jog 2 miles without walking (5 months in)
I can get up at 5:30 in the morning to jog
I can actually measure my food beforehand and actually know what and how much I ate.
Soon, I will be able to actually buy clothes at a typical retailer, and not just the big and tall store.

This one gave me a little cold chill. I know that feeling all too well and I'm so glad it's not there anymore either!
