I had a bug on Monday. Throwing up all day. Yesterday didn't eat much over my target cals - but still went and completed w4d2 of c25k last night. I felt as week as a kitten about an hour before but I had a banana and a good talk to myself and went late on. Oh and I only nailed that mother kisser. The 2nd 5 minute run was ended by me shouting 'YES' quite loudly waking up a few of the patrons in the gym but hey ho.
They're all big boys (actually some of them were enormous) but I can take a few funny looks from super fit super strong men and women as I wobble off a treadmill.
What they don't know is that 8 weeks ago I could barely run for 1 minute. Now I'm running for 16 out of 30 and I will smash the 8 minutes whilst I'm on my holidays in France next week.
You can do it! I can't believe you ran the day after a stomach bug, though. That's impressive!
I'm on C25K Week 7 Day 2 (completed) - we can do it!0 -
Youre awesome, and that is a lot of weight! I just moved on from body weight squats and added a barbell-with 40lbs on it. I cant wait to get up to 125! You rock and are so strong!!!boogiewookie wrote: »I squatted 125lbs 7x yesterday. even though I'm sure most people consider it very light I've been excited to hit that # for a while. I was so nervous I had my daughter come out in case I hurt myself but I was suprised i was able to keep perfect form and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!

Was able to do a side plank for the first time in about 4 years after having 2 twisted vertebrae in my neck, a shoulder injury and an elbow injury all on the same side (the one that was holding up my bodyweight).

Great job-you must be very proud! Way to overcome your injury

- finally fitting into a size 10 after 4 whole years!
- being able to slip on my doc martens without struggle (my calves slightly bulged out of them before)
- spotted what looks like the beginning of abs in the mirror a few days ago - something i never thought i'd see!

Went to the grocery store starving. Saw limited edition smores Oreos. Picked them up...and then put them back! If I knew I would have the willpower to not binge I would've gotten them, but alas I am not there yet.1

Watched as my husband loaded up a scone with jam and clotted cream...and walked away 0

No more "Saturn Ring" around my belly due to tight pants.2

Started going to the gym in the past couple of weeks to help make myself better. It's a small gym, and is empty in the morning, but today I turned up at the same time as a younger guy. It honestly took 5mins of building myself up to go in and overcome the thoughts of "He'll think I'm just fat"... "What if I can't do much compared to him?"... "What if I need a break? Then I'll just look even more unhealthy!".
In the end, I'm quite glad I went in. We said hello and then just got on with our own thing. Not so terrifying after all. I still compared myself at times but feeling like I somehow had to prove myself today made me work even harder than I would have had I been in there alone. I left there looking like a sweaty beetroot.1 -

Ok so this is a scale victory in disguise but we do a weight loss group at work, nothing serious just for fun and we just weigh in each week. Anyway today I achieved my 10% weight loss since the beginning of the year. I'm second on the leaderboard and creeping up on the person in first place very fast! 0

My NSV is that I am sticking with it! I have gone from a 26W to a 22W....47 lbs gone and only a few people have noticed. In the past I would let that get me down but for some reason this time I don't care if people notice or not because I notice and I feel good! This is the first time that I don't feel like I am dieting but instead its a life style change for me. Still have 80 lbs to go so my journey is far from over but its 1 lb and 1 day at a time for me this time! :-)0

Can now fit in a size 14 dress (used to wear 20-22). I always end up lower in pant size compared to dress size. Stepsister's wedding is still months away so I'll have to start shopping for a dress in early October.0

Started being able to do traditional push ups again, rather than knee push ups.0

Completed a full swim workout in an hour this morning. I have a book of workouts that I use, but always end up cutting it short. But not today! I did the full set, and swam 2.35km in total 0

I have not logged my food for the last couple of months, but weigh myself in the mornings when I have access to scales and I have maintained my weight - even through being away in the New York, going to parties, travelling quite a lot. Really pleased about this! (I know it is sort of scale related but the NSV bit is the managing my food intake without loggig everything.) And I swam a mile easily today, even though I haven't been in the pool for nearly a month.

Last weekend I wore a bikini....in public!1

The scale hasn't been giving me much love lately but my clothes are getting looser and I can feel my hip bones coming out again. I'll take it! I'm due to do measurements and progress pictures in a few days so I'm keen to see any changes there.1
-
Goal pants close! I won't be wearing them for about a month but they close!
I decided out of curiosity to try on something in a shop I once couldn't fit into a single item in. They go up to a 14. I was looking for motivation and picked up size 10s, sure that I was firmly a 12 still. They fit!!!! I am still in shock.
Lastly, I left food on my plate because I recognised that I was full. This has possibly never happened before. I am a plate clearer.0 -

I'm celebrating this too - I've been going through a rough patch recently for various reasons, and have been on holiday too, so logging has been patchy at best. Yet I maintained for a few weeks, and had lost this week.
It's such a great feeling, isn't it?0 -
I officially have no more "goal" clothes. Some of the pants are a bit snug, but at this point, it's because I'm in between a 10 and an 8 so I either pull my pants up all day (I hate belts) or wear some slightly snug jeans. Also, last night, I tried on my high school Prom dress and it totally fit! In fact, it was a bit loose. guess I need some smaller clothes to aspire to! 0

As of today I've walked/little bit of jogging 13 miles in the past week and a half. One of those walks was 3.5 miles in one shot, the closest i have come yet to my goal of running a 5k.
Also, I havn't looked at the scale in weeks and that in itself is a nsv 0 -
benched 190 last week, though I failed at 2001

Really enjoyed my C25K run this morning! Who knew that happened when you clear out most of the junk? Amazing. And I haven't been craving sweets, which is HUGE for me - my sweet tooth is insane.1

I totally get the sweet tooth thing. I love baked goods. One of my friends last night brought left over baked goods to roller derby practice, and usually I'll eat 5 brownies, telling myself that I'll burn it all off during practice. But last night, I had one lemon square and stopped because even though it was delicious, I know it wouldn't be good fuel before a 2 hour workout. That's my NSV; stopping at one!!
