    On Saturday I ran 5 miles in 65 minutes! That's the farthest distance AND the longest time I've ever run without stopping.

    WOO HOO!! :drinker:

    Since I had a total hip replacement on August 6, thirty days is a lot of time. I can now drive again AND go to the gym.

    The first place I drove to was the gym. :laugh:

    Bike 12 miles in a little less than an hour. I have now done it for 15 miles in just a few minutes over an hour, but by that point I wasn't tracking the time just the distance. A month ago I was excited to complete 6 miles in about an hour. All the riding done on a trail with tons of inclines, and people to dodge. It felt amazing for me to reach 15 miles. I wanted to keep going, but it was getting dark and I was already caught in the rain.

    I can walk straight past all the bakeries, sweet shops, pie shops etc without thinking 'Ooo, I want that'.
    So really, I've probably saved a whole lot of spare change!!

    I can do my 3 mile walk in 45 mins instead of 60. I am up to a 14 min mile running instead of 18 mins. I can lift my 40lb son out of his car seat without making any grunting sounds lol. Oh, and a pair of pants that I started wearing at the beginning of September are now too big.

    I can eat all day on less than 1800 calories. Lunch used to be 1500 or more (gross right?).
    I can jog (slow..4mph) for an entire song
    I can say I give a damn...30 days ago I did not
    I can encourage others because I know what even a small success feels like
    Edit to add this most important one!: I can clearly state my short, medium, and long term goals!

    I can walk up a big hill pushing my twin grandsons without feeling like I'm going to die:) I can lift more weight at the gym, and I can fit into a size 16 instead of a size 20!

    I've joined just short of 30 days, so nothing significant really.
    I hope to be able to do 200 sit ups by xmas, and by this time next year, I'll be back to my former self.
    I am in control, and that's all that matters.
