Did a 4 mile run today in 46 minutes (the time it normally takes me to run/walk a 3 mile route)
...
The success was.... for the first time in my entire life...
...
I ran for 3 miles none stop
Its not a lot to some people.. but I'm absolutely astounded and proud of the accomplishment... bring on the next 3 mile!!!
THAT IS AWESOME.....I CAN'T DO IT AND I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT!!!!0 -
GOOD JOB!!!Ran a mile straight for the third time, shaved about 10 seconds off my previous time. It's not a fluke, I can actually run for a mile and not feel like I'm going to die afterwards! lol yay!0 -
Down a pound!0
-
Got up at 4:50 a.m. to lift weights. Sure didn't feel like it when my alarm went off :sad:0
-
I did cardio today .. and I pedaled at over 100 rpm for over 30 min. Over 9 miles in total and averaged over 18 mph.
I actually love having to clean off the stationary bike after I sweat all over it.0 -
I not only fit into a pair of pants that didn't fit 6 weeks ago but I also got into them without unzipping them. I had them on before I even remembered they zip in the side. Bye bye baby hips. I love the kids, but the hips can go.0

I love the binge free for 10 days....it's impossible for me to skip the weekend without bingeing..... so maybe I can say I have been binge free for 4 days and COUNTING....I WILL MAKE IT WITHOUT BINGEING THIS WEEKEND!!!- binge-free for 10 days and counting (for reference, my prior best for the last 3 years has been 5 days)
- running without pain is possible again (also hasn't happened in the last year)
- under 70kg as of this morning (almost 9kg lost!!)0 -
that is awesome cause I just cannot workout in the mornings!!!!I got up at 4:45 and did Level 1, Day 2 of 30 Day shred. This is a success to me, because it took 15 minutes to talk myself into staying up and doing the workout and because my whole body was sore from yesterdays workout, but I pressed on! Working out in general is a huge accomplishment this week, as I've been working over 60 hours a week since July and haven't been to the gym in over a month.
One day at a time!0 -
THAT'S WHAT I SAID :happy:This thread needs to run every day!
LOVE IT

I love this thread....VERY motivational and inspirational!!!
LET'S KEEP IT GOING!!!0 -
GO TOMORROW!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!Didnt go to the gym at all this week... Need motivation:yawn:0 -
Lifestyle changes for weight management involves an on-going self-review process. This means “looking back” (at old habits or ways of thinking) and “looking forward” (to new approaches for lifestyle change).
For many people, the “new” thinking is characterized by honest self-awareness, personal responsibility for behavior change, a willingness and openness to figuring out what works, and persistence in the face of lapses!
Examples:
Old Thinking:
Keeping track of my food intake won’t help me lose weight – my eating habits are healthy enough.
New Thinking:
Keeping track of my intake allows me to know exactly how much I am eating and helps me prevent overeating.
Old Thinking....Looking for the Magic Cure:
I am going to keep trying diet pills until I find one that works for me.
New Thinking:
By slowly lowering my caloric intake and making physical activity part of my daily routine, I can lose weight at a safe rate of one to two pounds per week.
Old Thinking:
I’d like to eat healthier, but my kids wouldn’t eat healthy foods.
New Thinking:
My family’s health is important, so I made the decision to make healthier choices for the entire family. Even if they don’t always like it they’ll thank me later!0 -
I haven't weighed myself in four weeks... weighed in this morning and am down 7 pounds!!

Yes, am finally noticing changes to my body and not just my face! YAY!

Im walking 90 minutes to campus with my puppy because I can't think of a good reason to leave him alone while I take the bus! And then another 90 min home. All the walking, just to pick up some assignments to grade. Then off to hot yoga, which is another 30 minute walk each way! I hope that counts as enough exercise for today Im not going to feel like running or lifting by the time I get home. 0

- Work pants i used to dream of fitting into, now fall off
- Scale was UNDER 150 for the first time since freshman year of high school
- Getting and extra booty grab from my man before leaving for work

I had the realisation that on a day that I really don't feel like doing yoga (I have a committed 6-days-a-week mysore ashtanga practice) my automatic response is "OK you can do a reduced practice". Because the idea of not doing it at all doesn't even enter my mind.
So tonight, after a really hard week at work, I braved the pouring rain in the evening to make it to a mini workshop with only 2 other students focusing on a balancing posture (uthitta hasta padangustasana) that I don't care mush for because it didn't occur to me that I could just skip it.
Yay for building strong & healthy habits!0 -
I did not wake up dead. W00t!0

Touched me cat without him biting me.0

I've lost a kilo in the last week, and have lost a little each day with the exception of one day where I gained (which I can blame on the salty food I ate). That in itself is quite a big deal for me, and I'm getting excited over the progress, even if it is only a couple of hundred grams here and there.
After stalling for a while following a trip to America, my ticker has rounded itself up to 4kg, rather than up (or down) to 3kg for the first time since July
And, as of today, I've made my diary public again I was ashamed of it for a long time, but now that I'm losing weight quite quickly I feel like I need to prove to people that I'm eating enough!!! 0 -
Today
1. Got down to some work I'd avoided
2. An hour of elliptical training
3. A social evening with people I had never met before
4. Used my phone's cognitive behavioral therapy diary function
5. Kept off eating bad food until the evening (hopefully tomorrow it'll be until I reach bedtime and beyond!)0 -
Didnt go to the gym at all this week... Need motivation:yawn:

Haha, that first line "pants to big" made me think of that American Idol singer that sang "pants on ground, lookin like a fool with your pants on the ground" Well? that's whats going to happen if you keep on being a loser......pants will fall off and will be ON THE GROUND.0 -
not today, but yesterday: I messed up, but I didn't MESS UP. I always count that as a win, because it was a huge problem for me before I figured out how to lose weight and do it healthily and sustainably. The smallest "messup" would send me into a binge. If I had planned 400 calories for breakfast and ended up eating 450, I considered the day ruined and abandoned my diet, and said to myself " well I've ruined today, i'm not going to lose anything today, so I might as well eat what I want and start over tomorrow".
Yesterday My breakfast went over by about 120 calories, and I didn't panic. Didn't overeat and didn't starve myself either - just continued with my day, exercised, ate my normal lunch and a slightly lighter dinner, and ended up fine on calories. It sounds so little, but everytime I dont let a small mess up turn huge, it's a success for me, and a step towards eating like a normal person.0 -

Such a pretty girl. Life will be good to you if you are good to yourself. Your the first priority each and every day. Keep yourself focused, tracking your food and exercises. Make realistic choices each day, even if small. Keep your tennis shoes on your feet (not in your closet or under your bed) so your READY to go (somewhere) haha. :blushing:0 -
I like this, I am on day 2 of eating clean! Not feeling the greatest, but do believe that when the toxins are gone I will feel better. Back in my size 6 jeans as well and that is a good feeling with the chill in the air.0

despite a ready-made excuse (still in pain from some gluten cross-contamination yesterday) I managed a half hour of yoga, meeting my exercise goal for today 0

Wow, every word you shared makes total sense! At least you are aware of what is going into your mouth, good - bad or other. The key is that you have awareness now whereas before you probably never did. Also, your weight loss shows you are doing something right. Not bad at all! Thank you for sharing.0 -
I have logging in 20 days in a row.. normally i'd quit by now!
I want to hit a "LIKE" button but I am on the wrong network. But anyways, like....like ... like!0
