    Thanks for all the posts...everyone has such awesome achievements. I look forward to reaching some of your points myself!! I had one more achievement yesterday...I did 20 minutes on the stair machine...after doing my 5k training. I hate that machine with a passion and the first few times I was lucky to get to 8 minutes. I will eventually get to 30 and then ramp the speed up but I'm glad to have done 20!

    Flirt like a pro. Really, I didn't know how much of a novice I was until I made it to MFP.

    I can do a 60 second plank and two 30 second side planks. 30 days ago I couldn't do a 15 second plank and side planks just make me fall over. I'm proud of myself! :-)

    When I started working out February 15 I was doing 4 miles in an hour on the elliptical. Now I'm doing around 4.8 miles in the same time :) It's the little things...

    There is this horribly annoying hill on my route when I jog. Yesterday, it was much easier and my legs felt so much stronger. It was awesome. I could just keep going now. Also, when I started jogging....I was at about a 14 minute mile. Now it's about an 11 minute mile. Took a while to get there but the trick is to keep at it : )

    I can run a longer distance at higher speed on the treadmil (about 1.5 miles at 4.2 speed), I can do more sledge hammer slams to a tractor tire, and I can do pushups easier. my next challenge is to work more w/ the battle ropes, flipping the tractor tire, muay thai bag, and bosu ball. sorry if my spelling is off. :blushing:

    I have a much easier time at my job lifting the 45-pound boxes of nails and screws and walking up and down ladders with them. I get less easily winded, and catch my breath faster. It's still nooby, but I can now run for up to 5 minutes at a stretch, instead of not at all, lol.

    I also walked 3.5 miles in an hour the other day. :)

    I can do standing sprints in my spin class. I can sit without adjusting my pants to feel comfortable against my tummy.
