    Got up and went to Group Power at the YMCA this morning, even though I really wanted to roll over and go back to sleep for another hour. Afterwards, noticed that I can see the line of my quads almost halfway up my thigh - which is a really big first in a long time for me! I love muscles. Here's to another great week everyone!
  • My Tuesday Triumph is when I got on the scale this morning I have officially lost over 50 pounds from my highest weight and I couldn't be happier. Most days I feel bad about how much more weight I have to lose (sadly I am only around a third of the way there), but today I am basking in my accomplishment. Another triumph is that I don't even remember being in this 10 pound range. When I gained the weight I just blew right past it. I have never been so happy to see these numbers on the scale. I hope everyone else is having a Triumphant Tuesday!!!

    I have reached 5 pounds lost today!
    I have also gone down a few notches in my belt. I feel so skinny today, even in my baggy jeans that were the cause of me buying the belt.

    Been pre-planning and pre-logging my meals all week. Sticking sucessfully to calorie and protein macros goals!

    Also, my super-loose (can't wear without a belt loose) work pants are a constant reminder of how far I've come.

    I was able to stay on my spin bike for twice as long as I could last week at the same level of difficulty and I kept up with my pilates schedule despite being sick. Oh, and I lost a pound, which officially dropped me from obesity class 3 (high risk/morbid obesity) to class 2 (moderate risk obesity--small victories... very, very, very small victories...).

    There are no small victories - there are only victories and victories in waiting, This is a great victory!

    1. Ate vegetarian all day (no non-meat processed junk food either).
    2. It's March, and I am GRATEFUL to God I'm still making the effort. Yay!

    I usually shower as its quicker but tonight I had a long soak in the bath for the first time in weeks and I realised that I didn't need as much water to cover me. I also was able to put both arms by my side's with room to spare. Such a small Tuesday triumph but such a good feeling!

    I managed to complete D1 Level 1 of 30day shred without stopping - even though I am unfit and can now feel my thighs! Also measured today and have lost 3" off my hips!!! :smile:

    Got out of the house and walked over a mile today. And finally got weighed again, the last time was 6 months ago and amazingly, despite some really bad food choices during the past months I have remained around the same weight. This is the first year I haven't put on over 10 lbs in about a decade. I'm so happy! All that logging is paying off :bigsmile:

    Went to the State Fair, but I ate healthier before I left and only ate less than half of a funnel cake! And that was my only snack food while there. I resisted temptation to buy all those other treats and I didn't even have a soda. I was really worried about my self-control in going, but I did great.


    Also, I discovered I'm now able to sit in a certain chair that has arms on it. I haven't been able to sit in that chair for years since it was too tight of a squeeze, but now I actually have some room in it. This chair always bugged me because during family gatherings I'd have to play musical chairs to avoid ending up in that chair, but now I don't have to worry about it!

    Tuesday is really reward day because I had no sugar or salt for the past three days and today my weight was down and my BP was down to healthy range (down from the pre-hypertension range it was in before)- Important because I had a checkup with my Dr. today.

    Went to the gym to strength train, and I didn't want to. Sometimes, concurring the first step is the hardest. I'm really glad I went.

    Went grocery shopping and when I squatted down to heft a 50lbs bag of cat litter onto my shoulder...my jeans slid right off my backside. Thankfully I was wearing tasteful undies...but they slid down some too. :embarassed: So, I guess that's sort of a triumph? I suppose it's time to buy a belt.

    Two of my roommates came home with donuts, oatmeal creme pies, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and stuff for mimosas. And another is baking brownies . It's nights like this that made me gain... So i hung out out on the elliptical for 50 minutes instead and will be eating a chicken burger with MY mimosa =) moderation

    Today was the first time in my life I've ever seen the numbers '139' on the scale... Not even as a child/tween/teen. :)

    Went shopping in my closet - found old jeans - never worn that were too small - and they now fit. Down a size though the scale has not moved. Will take it.

    I had two successes yesterday (Tuesday) which I am extremely proud of.

    1. I started looking for a new primary care physician (this is a huge step for me).

    2. My son made a batch of cookie dough and I ate NONE.

    :smile:
