Feeling Proud! (NSV)

Options
So, for the entire summer I've been in a battle with the scale and have succeeded in losing and gaining the same 10 pounds over these past three months. Needless to say, this has been a bit discouraging. So, I'm focusing on more important things.

Today, while running on the treadmill, I took my heartrate after each 5 minute run. My heartrate never went over 165!! This is huge. When I first started running, my heartrate after 90 seconds would be 175-185. My heart is getting stronger! :D

It's the small victories that keep us going, right? For me, though, this feels huge. I'm succeeding at becoming a healthier me, regardless of my size!
