Share share shaaaare! :)

Mine was getting some positive reinforcement from a fellow gym member who asked what I was training for as I was running on the tread and I said a 5k at Thxgiving. He said "You're already at 2.5 miles now (I was running a 5k on the tread at the time), you have great form, and you seem like you're still breathing even- you're gonna kill that 5k!"

That was really nice- a major high point of my day!

    I do Zumba at a dance studio, so of course the wall at the front of the class is mirrors.

    Today, for the first time, I was able to watch myself dance in the mirror and not think I looked like the biggest heifer in the room.

    My Men's 38 waist jeans keep slipping down. I'm going to have to get some 36's.

    I was showing someone, who has only known me the last couple months, a picture of me and my brother from February and he thought that I was someone else.

    Tries on a pair of shorts I bought approximately a moths ago.... it was a size 12 and now it's become way too loose for me? It was high waisted and it kept slipping off!!

    My dad noticed! He is the gruff type. He never notices anything and certainly doesn't give out compliments much. But last night, I was over at my parents' house for his birthday. I hadn't seen him in a couple months (he is always working or napping when I go visit them). He asked me how much weight I had lost. When I told him about 20 lbs, he told me I looked nice. That comment made my night.

    I wasn't embarrassed to take my shirt off in front of my tattoo artist today, not bra btw, but all I had on was a sports bra and half shirt and I wasn't humiliated!!

    I ran my fastest mile yet in 9:35! Just a minute longer than my time in high school:) Finished 3 miles under 30 minutes so I am very happy today!

    I tried on clothes (pants, specifically) and there wasn't one pair in the house that I couldn't get on. A few had to be weeded out because they are too big. This is the second "weeding out" I've done since starting MFP!

    A girl who hasn't seen me in a couple months told me last night that I was looking 'fit' (like MFP fit not the UK version of the word). Much better compliment then being told you've lost weight or look skinny

    For the first time maybe ever, I ran ten minutes in a row. I'm coming from a fitness level of "severe pain in the side when attempting to run," so it's a pretty big deal for me. And onward I go :)

    Broke my distance record on the treadmill and am currently wearing a pair of jeans that I pulled from my "skinny clothes" drawer.
