    After my water aerobics class, I got on the treadmill at the gym and began to run for the first time ever! For 50 minutes I ran one minute and then speed walked for three minute intervals. Except for my hamstring cramping everytime I ran, it wasn't bad. My cardio is in my better shape then my leg muscles apparently. Today gave me hope that I will actually be able to RUN the Color Run in October.

    90 days sober, and my morning run didn't hurt at all, if I didn't have to go to work I could have gone further.

    I have PCOS too with the same issue. It's been quite a while since a real one so I am basically thrilled.

    Mine is how great I've been feeling since starting the 30 day shred on the 1st! I missed yesterday because I was so busy and found that I had a harder time getting to sleep that night, ate worse, and then today felt like crap so I got my shred in and feel 10x better! I've always wondered how people are so down about missing a day of exercise, I'm only a few in and I'm already feeling the benefits!!
    I'm so excited and I hope this keeps up because my end month goal is that I'll be so used to working out nearly every day that I'll want to keep it up as I've never been a very active person without feeling like working out was a chore, and this gives me hope that even though it's early, it can happen and I'll workout because I WANT to!

    I maintained my regular exercise routine despite it being a holiday. I also stayed within calorie goal despite it being a holiday and having a meal I love but avoid (chicken over rice from the food cart) because I ate to include that meal. Oh! And while we were out shopping I almost bough a snack (snackwell cookies) because I was getting hungry, but reminded myself I was going to have my "special" meal.

    I just realized a couple of days ago that my acne has went away. I contribute this to my new lifestyle choices because nothing else has worked in the last ten years (although I never tried actual medicine for it). That alone is worth keeping this up for :)

    I walked from my high school to my parents' house for the first time, ever.

    I graduated 14 years ago. :laugh:

    My town is NOT walker-friendly, at all. No sidewalks, very few crosswalks. :grumble: We were always bussed to school. It's about 2.5 miles one-way.

    My niece took a picture of me holding her little boy today. It was probably the first picture I've had of myself that I didn't cringe when I saw it! I posted it as my profile pic on Facebook. Almost immediately I got a text from a friend I haven't seen in about 2 years asking me how much weight I had lost. Also… even though I was out of town for the holiday and away from the gym… I chose to walk from my sisters house to the parade route… about a mile. Not a huge workout for me… but it was something I never would have done in the past!

    I ran my first practice half-marathon the other day - 1:53:20!
    Also I went shopping for holiday clothes yesterday and the size 10 (UK) stuff is comfortable, verging on loose :)

    Today I did 20 lunges continuously without falling all over the place. I guess my core is getting strong. Also i didn't wince when i heard ''lunge''.

    This week my daughter asked why my pants were so long, and it is because they are sliding down a bit because they're now a little bigger than what I need. I also fit into an airplane seat with room to spare and could buckle the seatbelt and pull it some.

    This week I have been able to fit into the next size down in jeans and get them off without unbuttoning. I'm noticing I fit into chairs easier and am able to wear some shirts that were impossible to put on a few months ago.

    My oldest daughter said her mate thinks I'm really skinny, one of the fire officers asked if I'd lost loads of weight, consultant asked how much I'd lost and said that often people lose weight and don't look right but I looked a picture of health and glowed.
    Another person at work is now on mfp because I'm such an inspiration and so she wants to now lose weight, think half my staff will be dieting at this rate..

    Have just done a 2 hour bike ride with daughters, middle one asked "how come your still full of energy and not tired". Also I was the only one who biked up every hill without stopping.

    My underwear is all nice now and it makes me feel sexy.

    Feel my nsv' s are flowing over...

    - my workout shirt doesn't fit like a second skin anymore
    - my HRM watch closes now 2-3 holes closer than when I got it (three month ago)
    - two trousers and one shirt not possible to wear anymore, as they became too big
    - two trousers are fitting again

    :bigsmile:
