It let me run for ten minutes nonstop! That's 2 more minutes than I was doing 2 days ago (with a day of rest in between). I don't know if it was a psychological thing or what.. but it's amazing to know I did it! Now to keep working up to the 20 minutes non stop (yikes!) I feel great about it, since I was feeling so frustrated yesterday and today about how ridiculous I seem to think it is that I've almost lost 20 lbs and that I can hardly even tell...

I just wanted to share that with anyone who wants to read! But I also want others to fill in the blank with a reason why they love their body today!

    I no longer have a boobie-do (meaning that no longer does my stomach stick out farther than my boobies do) :)

    I just found out I've lost 5cm off the belly fat! I measured from the belly button, I also measure the true waist too but my belly has been such a problem I measure it too! Today is the first day I've had any progress on it! :)

    It lets me swim for meters and meters before getting tired. And because the good Lord saw fit to give me long legs AND big boobs, LOL!

    I ran 7.5 miles today. That's the longest I've done yet. I know it's still a long way away but a half-marathon might not be impossible after all!
