    My hand surgery was successful yesterday. I brought my own muffin for post op so I didn't have to eat the hospital's yucky ones.

    After a less than promising start to the day (slept in & then had pumpkin cheesecake for breakfast), I reversed the downward spiral with a 4mi run and a spinach smoothie. Feeling fantastic and motivated to tackle the laundry and housecleaning!

    The awesome red suede boots (with the biggest calf I could find) that I got for my birthday, the ones that wouldn't zip up past my ANKLE and made me cry...I just put them on and zipped them ALL THE WAY UP! They are still a little snug, but they went on! (and seriously, they make me feel like a a superhero) Those boots were my main motivation to start this, because I was so ashamed, and depressed that they were so awesome and so seemingly out of my reach...and they weren't, i just had to get off my butt and work towards them...and it really worked!

    Yay!!!! Congratulations!!!!

    I lost over 60 pounds and have been maintaining for about 9 months.

    This past week or 2, my mind has been catching up with the weight loss. I am starting to think of myself as the slim person that I now am, and it feels amazing !!!!!!!

    I got on my treadmill at home for the first time since last spring because it was only 26 degrees outside. When I turned it on, the settings said I weighed 228 pounds. But now I actually weigh 192!




    That's a great feeling!

    I feared starting month 2 of Insanity. I drew inspiration from Marcus Luttrell's book, Lone Survivor. And, started my Month 2. Yesterday I did Max Int Circuit, and today Max Int Plyo. Survived.

    When my little dog steps crawls on me it actually is uncomfterble and hurts! Before I barely noticed!

    My NSV this week is that I can now hold a plank-full on, on toes and hands for 30 seconds. Doesn't sound like much but 2 months ago I could barely hold for 10!

    In September while on vacation, I saw some great looking swimming trunks. I decided to buy them in 34" waist since I am still dropping. The other day, I decided to try them on to see how far I still have to go. I was shocked to find out I'm there now! Far cry from my 42's and 40's I was wearing at the start of this journey.

    I woke up and took my dog for a walk before 9 am on a sunday. two years ago, i would have woken up at 12 pm, re-heated a huge plate of leftovers, sat in my bed, and ate. I like this current version much, much better!

    I can't wear a coat or long sleeved shirts for a week, so I bought 2 loose short-sleeved sweaters. Makes me feel a bit sloppy, but it's temporary.

    The saying is you can never be too thin or too rich, but I think being strong is the best!

    I could add...and then took a nap after eating!

    I like the new me much better also!

    Today is my one year anniversary for making the decision to take my life back. It took a few weeks for me to add MFP into it though. I've lost 40 pounds. I'm proud of the weight loss, I'm proud of the consistency of the loss rate. But the NSV's are two-fold...1) I made a decision to love and take care of myself and I've done that for an entire year! and 2) yesterday I asked my daughter why she's never said anything about my weight loss. I asked her in person, her answer was that she doesn't believe in "ego-fanning", and I was able to respond, "There is a difference between fanning someone's ego, and recognizing and celebrating a life-behavior change."

    I know that short conversation doesn't seem like much. But for me it proves that I love myself enough to address something that's bothering me, without having to eat the feelings about it. I am in love with the way I live my life now and I'm SO PROUD of being able to recognize an issue, address it, deal with it, move on with the day and my life without it even being a blip on my emotional radar :smiley:

    Wow, I am so impressed. I have always found those kind of conversations next to impossible (I cry very easily). I would have avoided it and let the feelings fester. You handled that with such grace. My hero of the day!

    On the less earth-shattering end of the spectrum: I went to my university's ice hockey game last night, first game I've attended this season. I did *not* eat a Dove ice cream bar in the break between 2nd & 3rd periods (a long term tradition): I had already had enough to eat yesterday. (Also, my team won.)

    I know how you feel. My daughter has yet to say she was proud of my weight loss and also running in 5K races and over the last 3 years I have lost over 70 pounds and ran in several races. My son on the other hand is constantly complimenting me on my accomplishments. But I'm not as bold as you, I can't say anything to her about it. Maybe one day.

    I was never a fan of mirrors growing up, so didn't have one in my bedroom. Now, I wished that I had a full length mirror in there when I stayed over on my vacation, or even at the place where we stayed for the wedding. It was weird to want mirrors around.

    You did the right thing! So proud of you :). It does take courage to do this kind of a thing. But I firmly believe that getting it out is the best way to let it go.

    I took my car to the shop, and the guy who works on it ALWAYS moves my seat super close bc he's pretty short. When I got in it to drive home I didn't have to move the seat back to fit. I was able to get in w/o having to move the seat or the wheel.

    At my check in on Sunday with my trainer, I was down 2 centimeters in my waist. My scale number isn't moving but my body composition is, yay!
