Reading the "confessions" thread made me laugh, and made me feel good to confess, but I got to thinking... all of the good things that us MFP-ers are doing is worth sharing too!

Soooo... go ahead! Shout it from the roof tops!

Mine:
We got very bad thunderstorms here today, but I went running anyhow. Did couch to 5k week 1 day 2 and finished successfully despite the fact that it was raining cats and dogs, and I was running up hill :happy:

Go ahead... let us hear it! :flowerforyou:

Wow! I'm impressed.

Mine would be: I'm feeling stronger every day and as amazed at my own perserverence.

Euphonasia

I made it through Jillian Michaels Level 2 of the 30-Day Shred despite all of the freaking plank work. I've never had good upper body strength but today I made it!

I jogged 10 k for the first time last Saturday, June 20, in 74 minutes.

My ankle was sore, and had major cramping in my other leg from yesterday's walk, but I pushed myself to go again today. I am sore as heck, and didn't burn as many calories, but I did go! :bigsmile:

Great idea!! I feel great now. Way to go to everyone else too!

Back in 2003, I trained for and ran a marathon. After the race, I fell off the wagon and just kept gaining weight. Since joining MFP, I've been as consistent and dedicated to my workouts as I was when in training. I plan on putting 1500 miles on my bike this summer and doing a Century ride by fall...

I easily did internals of running with my walks for the last two days. I shaved 7 mins off my walk yesterday and 10 mins today and I love it.

So not true! You went running uphill in the rain and thunder! Most people would say, "Bummer, its raining." And in their head they would be screaming, "Yay!! I don't have to work out now!"

I worked out this AM with 3 of my old video tapes. The Miracle Mile and 2 Sweating to the oldies. One right after the other.

I finally got in to my doc's for my first weigh-in since starting MFP, and I'm down from 315 to 301.5, so it was a good day. 2 more pounds, and hopefully I'll never see the 300's again.

I'm a huge sweatin' to the oldies fan! Whenever I start a weight loss program, it's always my first choice for cardio.

started my run walk earlier
walked-jog-walked-sprint-walked between parking meters
instead of walking in place at a long stop light, i dropped to the ground, positioned my feet on the light pole and did crunches until the light changed at the (2) LONGEST stoplights.

and boy do i feel good:smooched: :smooched: :smooched:

I pushed myself pretty hard in the gym on the treadmill, even though my calves were sore from yesterday's HIIT resistance workout.

I also discovered how much sodium I was eating :noway: Holy Pita Bread! No wonder I've plateaued haha. Beware the 'Health Food' gimmick! I'm now cooking my own turkey for sammiches- plus bought some sodium free bread. Yay!

The sodium is ridiculous! I guess my brag is that I have been able to stay well under the sodium goal for the last month. That one used to be nearly impossible for me.

P.S. props for cooking your own turkey! I just stopped eating sandwiches. :laugh:
