I think this is awesome! Vacations (to me) are about taking a break and allowing yourself to indulge a little bit. The best part is WANTING to get back on track and finding it easy to do so!0 -
Tried to hook my belt in smallest hole and realized that i was trying to hook it past the smallest hole, soon i'll need to put a new hole in had this belt for years. Making progress!0

I call it my "innertube". Lol. For me, it serves as a natural belt for my pants! I would love to get to the point where it gets small enough for my pants to fall down!0 -
I went to an AHL Hershey Bear's game last night and I was comfortable in the seat! 49 pounds really makes a difference.0

I had a gray suit size 14 in the back of my closet that I knew I would fit in one day. I laid it out last night to wear it today and IT'S TOO BIG!! The last time I tried it on I almost ripped the seams trying to squeeze into it. This is bitter sweet though. Sweet because it's too big but bitter because suits are outrageously expensive and now I have to go buy another gray one.0

Can you get it altered?0 -
With the weather being nice in my area, I went into my closet to grab some shorts. All of the shorts I own are too big, to the point where I could fairly easily slip them over my waist without unbuttoning them. While I am excited and stoked, I'm also kinda bummed. I'm a broke college student and I can't currently afford a new wardrobe, even though I really need new clothes haha.
I'll take it1 -
There's a chair in the church's conference room and the last time I was in there (1 year ago) I couldn't fit in it I had to go get another chair. Last night I went to a meeting and I sat in the chair and comfortably too!!2

Close family and friends have been telling me that they could see a difference but every time I looked in the mirror I still saw the me that started 6 months ago. I have felt the difference health-wise, stamina, etc. but couldn't see it. This morning I passed a mirror and something clicked. 73lbs lost and I can finally look at my reflection and start seeing who I am becoming, not who I have been for 25 years.2

As I was walking down the hallway today (mind you not in a new outfit, it only looks new because my body is shaped different now), a random co-worker popped up out of his cubicle to tell me how tiny my waist is and that I am now Queen of the office. Title accepted LOL0

The other day was "Fat Tuesday" (or Mardi Gras, or whatever, the day before fasting for Lent begins) and I didn't even realize it until Ash Wednesday! In years past I really looked forward to Fat Tuesday because it meant I got to eat basically whatever I wanted and pig out while having an "excuse". But this year I wasn't even aware!! It's great to be at a place where food isn't #1 thing on my mind!!2

I wore pants to work that the waistband was too tight...it mad me think about everything I was putting in my mouth. I am not going to make a habit of it, but it was an interest path today.
I also got over 7,000 steps today!! I am an emotional and stress eater; let me just say, I am an overeater!! I have been working on walking on my breaks and lunch and I really think it is helping my mental outlook...
Thanks for listening!3 -
I played a whole show without back pain. And instead of cringing at the photographs, I was happy!

I did 10 plank jacks in a row...then rested and did 10 more! Real ones!0
-
I returned to a spin class last night after a year of doing different classes instead. I was amazed to find that I wasn't at all in discomfort and I managed the whole class at the levels set by the instructor. This is despite him notoriously being the toughest spin instructor at the gym!0

A few NSVs today:
It would have been so easy to get complacent and lazy after finishing Couch to 5 K, but I've just downloaded a 10 K trainer app! 10 K seems totally mad and unobtainable, but so did 5 K nine weeks ago...
I wasn't seeing any progress on the scale for a while (up and down over the same pound). This morning I dropped a couple of pounds to where I should be if I'd been progressing like I expected, but that's not the victory - the victory is that I didn't get discouraged or stressed about the stall, didn't try to cut my calories drastically like I might have in the past or anything like that. I just told myself 'stick with the programme, weight loss isn't linear', and stayed calm.
At Nando's the other day I noticed how uncomfortable their wooden chairs are - hadn't noticed that before so I must have less padding than the last time I visited!0 -
I bought some clothes that are one size lower than my starting size, thinking I would fit into them in another 6 weeks or so. To my utter surprise, they fit now! Some zip up but are a bit tight, so I'll lay them aside, but today I'm wearing one of the tops I got.3

Morning!! I had a guy tell me I had a fantastically heart-shaped butt and had a body shaped like a guitar...LOL Not used to compliments
And I know it's scale related but not really...for the first time in 7 1/2 years I weigh LESS than my husband. So that's such a huge milestone I'm sharing anyhow.3 -

THIS!! 76lbs down and I'm still looking at before and afters and not seeing a difference. It's driving my hubby nuts!0 -
I've been noticing lately that when I do eat too much, I realize that I'm full and actually stop eating much sooner than I used to. Seems like it should be natural but I'd been overeating for so long, my body just got used to it =/1
