    I went for a run on a new route and wasn't paying much attention to how long I was out and ended up going farther than usual and did not feel like I was going to die at the end of it.

    Also, realizing I need to invest in some belts because ALL of my work pants are too big now :bigsmile:

    I held a plank for 2 1/2 minutes this morning! And that was after pushing myself through a longer run than I've done before. Yay me! :drinker:

    That's impressive! YAY YOU!

    Thank you!!

    Took my Polar FT7 to work today to see how active I really am on an average day at a car dealership's service department.

    Even after subtracting my BMR from the total, I'm still burning 2,500+ calories in my 8 hr shift.

    Looks like I need to start eating a hell of a lot more on workdays.

    At 26 weeks pregnant, I can still do more regular pushups than my husband.
    (Sssshhhhhh, don't tell him I told y'all that. :laugh: )
    But I know if he did them as consistently as I do, he'd soon surpass me.

    Oh, and my wife showed up while I was working out today. When she was doing her barbell rows, I 1 arm rowed her loaded barbell ;)

    I rode my regular trail route (mountain biking) fighting a 20 mile wind this evening and still maintained my 14+ mph pace for an hour.

    Also, I got a baby and puppy to quit crying/whining...they looked like they had been slapped ;-)

    My friend signed up at my gym, and I can use more weight and do more push-ups than him!

    (He has 50 pounds on me, and quite a few inches)

    I went for a short run today after work (I do my larger/longer workouts in the morning) and usually I'm slower when I do my quick run cause it's short but I had a 12.35 minute mile today...felt pretty damn good! If it wasn't getting dark, I would have kept going

    I turned 32 this year (and proud of it!) and yet some kid that works in our warehouse thought I was 24! I don't care if he meant it or not, I took it!! :)

    I felt like a dumbass today when I had to file the paperwork for my work accident... A gash from a razor :(

    I'll feel like a badass when I'm allowed to lift again!
