cimcnett1,
It’s amazing that, what seems like no big deal to those that can do it, a victory like this make you feel great and keeps you motivated. I’m still trying to get off the floor without having to use something to help me up. I have one notch to go in my belt before I need a new one, and it seems like I just got this one.

Chuck, you will get to that new belt soon I am sure
Crystal: great job at the gym and with the belt I bet it feels great every time you make a new notch
(I don't wear belts but I can imagine)
Tara: I am excited for your dress you will look amazing!
Malia: what a great feeling! Imagine how you will look next time

I love these posts! And I love when I read one and think, "I can identify with that". My one and only belt was the biggest one I could find in the regular off the rack store....it had a hole every little bit the entire way around it. When I bought it, it was all I could do to get it through the buckle with a couple inches to spare. Today I can tuck the extra into the belt loop! That seems silly, but it's inches!!0

Yesterday I tried on a pair of shorts that I bought like 2 years ago, they were too small when I bought them and I bought 3 pairs in different colors. I have tried them on periodically through out the years and they never fit. But yesterday they fit!!! Nicely too :blushing: I am excited to have something new to wear! Now I don't have to go shopping :happy:0

After two years of being in Persistent Afib with its complications, I have been in normal sinus rhythm for six months.
Thank you, Paula, for remembering.

Chuck, that is awesome! And your health is only going to keep getting better!
Malia, that is so cool...fitting into smaller sizes is so motivating.
I had what should have been a small NSV today, but it really touched me. I was in the grocery store and I stopped to look at my list. An older gentleman pushed his cart toward me and I didn't realize at first that I was probably blocking the aisle? I apologized and started to try to move over some, when he said , "Not to worry...there is plenty of room." I know it sounds silly, but I almost hugged him!0 -
That is awesome Leanna! I bet that felt amazing, Congrats! :flowerforyou:0

I had a job interview yesterday and was freaking out about what to wear. I work in a chemical plant, so I were tennis shoes, casual shirts and jeans, and that is not appropriate interview garb. Since gaining the weight pregnancy I have not bought any dressier clothes. I was staring into my closet Wednesday night on the verge of crying and picked out my favorite corduroys put them on and come to find out they fit better than before babies! Needless to say, I went into the interviews feeling confident. Now the waiting begins, I should find out Monday if I got the job.0

That's great Crystal! I bet it gave you a nice boost of confidence for the interview too!! Congrats!!0

Today I did something I haven't done since 2010. I actually ran. I didn't think I could do it. I was mostly convinced I'd poop out from the first interval of 60 seconds, but I did it! My lungs didn't collapse. I did not slip on the treadmill with the increase in speed, which was a fear of mine. I was able to do two 60 second intervals, one for 17 s, and another for 43 s before slowing down to cool down. My lungs did start to ache towards the end, but I can't believe I actually managed to do it. I know a total of 3 mins doesn't sound like a lot, but the last time I tried running I could barely go 15 s without my lungs nearly seizing up completely with over a 20 min recovery period. The 2 mins in between seemed to work well. I didn't go the recommended speed as I knew since I can't hold a walking pace at 3.5 mph yet I would not be able to run at 5.0 mph. I ran at 4.0 mph and walked at 2.7 mph for a total of 9 minutes. I plan on trying again later to get more time in today, but I am so happy to have gotten strong enough to be able to run/jog at all.
Peace, love, and chicken grease!0 -
Congratulations Crystal on being smaller than you realized and fitting your old clothes.
Holly, it is so funny that your pants are falling off! :laugh: Yay for the belt!!
Lilly, Running is an un-achieved dream of mine also. So happy for you! Can really related!
Best wishes all!
