Yesterday, I managed to jog a lap (a lap is 1/9th of a mile at my YMCA's track), walk a lap for 2 miles. I had trouble even trying to jog one lap a month ago. So, what can you do that you couldn't a month ago?

    I can sort of touch my toes sometimes under certain conditions! Oh, and I can do more than 100 crunches without feeling like I am about to die.

    I am a barrel racer by hobby. My gut no longer touches the saddle horn. That is a big deal to a barrel racer. Those horns can leave nasty bruises.

    I realized yesterday shoveling our driveway and sidewalk, that last year I couldn't even do that! Here in western NY, we got over a foot. I was so proud of myself! Sore today, but worth the almost 600 cals burned!

    Say that I haven't weighed this much since high school! I spent years fighting with those numbers on the scale failing every time and just this morning I hit a weight I haven't seen in 7 or 8 years easy, I'm no where near my goal yet but it feels good to have finally passed that number.

    45 minutes on the stepmill at moderate intensity with intervals. I still can't finish without holding onto the handlebars but at least I'm not leaning on them and I can go for 45 minutes without stopping.
