I ran my first 5k this weekend, coming in at 39:47 (just under my goal of 40 minutes). This is huge for me, as I've never been into exercise and definitely never thought I'd want to run anywhere.1
-
I was carrying in kitty litter and a large bag of cat food to my place yesterday and was thinking of how heavy they were and realized they equaled the amount of weight I've lost so far and could not believe that I used to carry that around daily!4
-
The first thing my nearest coworker asked me this morning is if I had lost any weight. That was a nice little cherry on top of a good week.3

I went out to eat with my husband last night and I made some pretty healthy choices without feeling deprived. I need to stop associating going out to eat with throwing all caution to the wind and eating whatever I want, but I also enjoy going out to eat so it felt like a really important step to be able to do this, enjoy it and know that it wasn't going to throw me off track from my goals. Yippee!
^This. I too have struggled with feeling like going out meant SPLURRRGGGGEEE! Now I pick one item I just "have to have" and the rest are lighter 'good" choices.

yesterday I tried the Vibram five fingers running shoes and even though the friend that was lending me those said it's hard to run couple hundreds of meters in them for a beginner, let alone a 1K, I managed the whole warm up outdoor run before Ultimate Frisbee training (2.5K). Guess that tells me my running style is already pretty decent since most people struggle with calf pains when using these shoes for the first time.
Good on me ^_^0 -
2 times in the last week i have been cold - its that time of year, and on both occasions when I mention Im cold (everyone else isnt) I have had the reply of "you dont have all that fat to keep you warm anymore" - from 2 different people
Also always looking for friends so add me!2 -
Finishing my first day of a 6 month bootcamp. It was leg day..1

I volunteer a lot with my daughter's choir. The teacher just bought the main moms and dads sweatshirts. Oh, the perils of trying to buy clothing for an overweight woman! I have been wearing a 4x for a long time and he bought me a 2x sweatshirt. I was horrified but decided to try to on anyways. Oh my goodness, oh my joy! It fit! Would I like it to have more room? You betcha and it will. Is it probably a bit big for a 2x? Probably a bit but not a lot. Nothing lower than a 4x has gone on this body in so stinking long, I'm owning it. Yeehaw!9

SOMEBODY FINALLY NOTICED!!
I have not lost any weight this week (and I won't know now until Dec 3rd - No-Scale-November!) and was feeling a bit discouraged.
My sisters best friend saw me and said "WOAH! Looking good, have you lost weight?" It lifted my spirits so much! 3 -
Got through this morning training session without my inhaler for the first time ever!!!!
I think I am inproving my conditioning enough so my "at stress" level is getting pretty high.2 -
I'm wearing size large shirts instead of XL now!

I've been working out since January'14 (this time) and I am nearly at my goal. I am very happy with my life now but by far the proudest moment was when I was running on the treadmill next to my 15 year old whilst watching my 10 year old in the kids circuit training class at my local gym. It has become a bit if a family joke for them to say "well mum what did you do at the gym today?" Because apparently I keep talking about it. In part that was because I am recovering from cancer and I keep trying to reinforce to then that I am not ill now. But exercising alongside my girls made me a proud mamma and I was surprised that they were so excited about it- this is not just MY message for life but their's also and my biggest wish for them obviously that they live a happy, healthy & long life. Week 2 and it's going well 7

Last night while on the phone with my mother I climbed 4 flights of stairs in my parking garage and she didn't even realize that's what I was doing.3
-
Well let's see, I haven't touched the Halloween Candy, been faithful to the gym and have gained my muscle tone back that I lost after getting too comfy last year.

Wooo! I've had another one. Two in two days!!
This morning, I decided to try on a top that I bought a few months ago. I bought it without trying it on during the massive binge cycle that ultimately prompted me to change my life. But, at the time, I was in complete denial. So of course, when I tried it on after I got home, it was miles too small!
IT FITS!! And it looks pretty good. I still have a long way to go. I can't wait for it to be too big! 2 -
I RAN FOR 5 MINUTES TODAY! WOOOOP! (C25K week 4, day 2)
for anyone just starting out with this app, stick with it. it totally works. i could barely run for 1 minute the first day.6 -
I bought my first pair of jeans since December 2011 about one month ago 2
-
-
I went down a pant size! I just decided I'd go to the store and see if the next size down fit. Well, they did!2
-
Bought jeans in a size 18! WHen I started this while journey, 24s were too tight. I tried on 4 or 5 pair to make sure it was not just vanity sizing from one lable -- they all fit. I'm getting there.2
