    Running at 3200ft (where I live):

    4 weeks ago I ran 4.72 miles, climbed 282ft in elevation, and ran it at 12:16 min/mile pace.

    Today I ran 6.2 miles, climbed 777ft in elevation, and ran it at 10:42 min/mile pace.

    Feeling GREAT!

    Trying on all my holiday clothes and they all fit. It's not been easy losing the weight but so glad I have done it. One week until holiday and husband is treating me to have my nails done. Feel happier in myself than I have for a long time and got some lovely comments from work colleagues this week.:flowerforyou:

    The fact that I'm making progress in making a lifestyle change. The fact that I have a plan to keep it going. The fact that it really isn't all that hard. I'm about to finish my seventh week, so I realize it's not been a really long time yet but this is the longest I've gone with a true lifestyle change without feeling deprived, frustrated on a daily basis, irritated I can't eat like other people, etc. It feels doable, and sustainable.

    I am clumbsy. My hubby kisses my bruises and asks me if I'm okay. Even though he could laugh (its usually quite a cartoon like event) he worries.
    (Prob cause I got one arm, and while he was away for army stuff for 6 months, I dislocated my only good arm and had to stay with my mom, it tore him up)

    And, he made a special trip out of his way to a store he hates to get my chocolate :love: on his off day.

    he is a good man.

    good for you on this lifestyle change.. I see such positive results on my friends on here.. I joined in August of this year and am committed to putting myself first as well.. so congrats !!!

    I had a really crappy week. My father's will...meeting with my daughter's teachers to discuss her learning disabilities....not much time to exercise. And yet, I count my blessings and thank God I'm still alive. I have a wonderful husband, beautiful children, great supportive friends here on MFP, and a job I love. I think an attitude of gratitude goes a long way toward fighting the "Woe is me!" blues. :smile:

    seems he lucked out in the woman department too.. and I am clumsy big time too lol .. broke a few bones along the way.. but I try to be upright as much as possible lol .. sorry about your dislocation.. hope you are doing well now... a man who showers his girl with chocolate when she needs it .. is A-OK in my book :)
