My husband decided to set up a small exercise space in our basement for me, so I don't have to spend so much time at the gym (40 minute drive round-trip). We got the first few pieces of equipment moved in, and a television (you can't see it in the pic). THIS is what happened. Yes, we have a living room with a television, and they have a television in one of the bedrooms, but they are choosing to workout while watching t.v. or playing on their tablets! They've been playing musical chairs with the equipment. (Please ignore the canned goods and egg cartons in the background; it's a work in progress and I haven't gotten everything moved out yet). I can't believe the changes that have taken place with my whole family because of my decision to lose weight!

this is a great victory, small changes impacting the whole family! great job!!!!

I work on the 5th floor in my building and walking those stairs without feeling like I am going to die is huge.
Not only that, I keep track of walking the them and I am up to 3 times a day.... I feel so accomplished, especially since the scale has not moved in weeks.

the straps on my cami's are no longer snug, even all the way tightened!

paid to use the treadmill at the community centre tonight because it was raining and dark I know I can walk in the rain, but tonight going inside was better than not going.

While I was laying in bed watching TV, our cat knocked over the bedside lamp, spraying shattered glass all over the bedroom carpet.
Without hesitation I moved like Spiderwoman across the bed, over the bedside table and stretched to the far side of the dresser to a glass free zone where I could then get to the vacuum to suck up all the glass.
I've become a super hero!

After a few totally sedentary, lazy winter months, I finally got back on the trail a few days ago and ran 6 full miles of hilly terrain with no problems. I couldn't believe it. Sure I was slow as hell, and I had some aches and pains afterwards, but I could do the whole thing without a break. I'm impressed.

My UK size 18 jeans are getting looser. Since October and as of today I've lost 3 inches off my bust, 6 inches off my waist, 3 inches off my left thigh, 4 inches off my right and 2 inches off my hips. My biggest NSV to date!!

Discovered I have a actual genetic reason for my weight..got the cure..going on 2 months and feel amazing with cure..stopped sugar carvings to once a month..have found my zone finally. My journey has been physically painful and now I am almost 100% pain free after 2 yrs time..I can feel this is going to be my year.

I'm picturing this in my head. . . and it's making me giggle!

My wife bought me a new bike the other day. I rode for 6 miles yesterday. I'm happy to say I didn't have to get off and push. Two things I learned real quick. Head-winds suck and I need some butt padding. My butt still hurts. Of course it's been 25 years since I've rode a bicycle.

Congratulations! My husband is a cyclist and has gotten me back into riding the last couple years. It's so much fun.

Headwinds definitely suck! It is completely unfair when you have a headwind going one way and then the gusts shift direction and you get a sidewind/headwind heading back.

They make padded bike shorts, which I have heard are a real lifesaver. Also, you will build up some callouses/toughness on the seat after doing some regular riding. I knew when we get back to riding this spring, I will very sore the first few times.

My NSV is looking in the full length mirror this week and really liking how I looked. I didn't just look better than usual or ok, but I actually thought today I really look great!

Hugging close friends and having them exclaim how "tiny" I am! I only lost 12 pounds. 17 more to go! It's the little things.

Haven't unbuttoned three different pairs of work pants to take them on and off in about three weeks . . . thanks boot camp! I foresee a shopping trip in the near future.
(Side note, why is it so hard to find women's dress pants with belt loops? This is a disaster waiting to happen!)

I got in the pool today and did 16 laps (after 2 hours of gym classes before hand). It was the first time I've swam publicly since I was a young teenager. I was completely exhausted from it but now I've faced that fear, I'm ready to go again.

My calves are a shade under 16" for the first time in years. Also, I just found a 70% discount plus free shipping sale on wide calf boots that ends this weekend, at a shop I love but can't usually justify the prices of. Serendipity!

Where? I can never find affordable boots to fit over my calves!
