lol...one of my playlists I have named Run Forest Run

I've hit double digit weight loss (lbs) and single digit clothes size (us). And I can run 2 miles at 5mph, when it took me over 15 mins to run/walk a mile when I started. But I am still waiting to move my ring to my middle finger without it turning red.20

I had to show my ID to an older guy who was obviously gay. He said "You've lost a lot of weight since this picture! Younger me would have a few more things to say about that!"
I'll consider that a victory.26 -
Exercising with someone whose fitness was once miles beyond my own and realizing that now, he is the one who gets winded first. I mean, I knew my own fitness had gone up by a ton, but there's something weird about when you realize your fitness now exceeds that of other people you know.32

On August 29 I wrote this...I have been wearing a wedding ring for a whole week! It's my hubby's, as mine is still too tight to wear, but still... it's been a while! I thought it was uncomfortable because it was tight, so haven't been wearing it often, but I eventually realised that it's actually uncomfortable because I'm just not used to wearing a ring. I've kept it on day and night and am slowly getting used to the feeling again.
I'm looking forward to the day when I can wear my own again - been married 27 years and only wore my rings for about 5 of those...
Well... today I was able to wear my own rings for a few hours! They're still quite snug, and I had to take them off this afternoon when they started getting uncomfortably tight, but I'm getting there! Back to wearing hubby's for now, but I'll be trying my own every day from now on to see when I can wear them.
I might have sniffled a bit when I got them on easily this morning...

I logged 255 days today! Yay!30

Been getting into a regular yoga practice - after a week and a half I finally could transition from plank to up-dog without collapsing on the floor, AND I made it through reverse warrior without getting light headed and needing to break the pose. Breathing, learning24

First of all because I'm new I have no idea what NSV stands for but I've read them all and I'm so proud of everyone! I gave you all an "awesome". What I am so proud of today is that I have taken over second place in my step challenge today and tomorrow I'm gunning for that number one position!!! And what I'm most excited about is that I've lost enough weight and gotten strong enough that I can actually jog a bit now! When I started four months ago, I could barely walk to the end of my rather short drive way!!! I feel so much happier!34

*Non scale victory
And mine is yoga related. I have been doing a pose 'Legs up the wall" all summer and now my heels can touch during downward dog. Yoga classes started again on Mon. Not only did my friends comment on the smaller me, I had more flexible hamstrings.14 -
Was talking with a coworker when mid-sentence she stopped and said "yeah, you are really losing!" Because of the lack of context I had to ask what she meant
"You. Weight. I can see it so easily. You look great!"

I have lost 10kg since I started in Jan 2016 and over the last 9 months my husband has been quietly supportive, although there have been a few raised eyebrows when he would walk into the kitchen and I would be weighing every ingredient on my trusty kitchen scales and noting everything down before eating. Over the last few months, he has not been caring about his diet at all and has enjoyed a long summer of beer, crisps and burgers and has put on a few kilos.
Well, last night he asked me to show him how to sign up for "that MyFitnessPal thingy that you use because it obviously works!" This is such a small thing as he has commented on my body changing over the months but this is the first time he's validated how I am doing it, I was really pleased and will happily take that as an NSV!!!51 -
Gained the ability of self control. No longer am I bound to giving in. I can actually avoid pastries when I am very hungry. In the past, if I was hungry and in an Italian bakery, well let's just say you're not seeing me until 3 to 4 hours later.
For me gaining the self control to say no and prolong satisfaction was the key. Everything revolved around that. No food in mouth, no weight gained. Gaining self control is my NSV.35 -

I love your confidence and positivity. For me though, gained self control is not mine to keep forever and ever. I overeat and even binge a little on occasion still. Those episodes happen a lot less frequently, and my weight trend is definitely down, so I don't beat myself up when it happens. I don't wallow. I just keep going. I'm hoping that making a proud statement as you did above (and you deserve to be proud!) doesn't leave you feeling shame if your self control were to wonder off at some stressful point in the future.
Wishing you continued success!

Before, I would have gotten up and watched a few episodes of this or that or netflix while the kids watched cartoons. This morning, we went out for a jog in the stroller and listened to some music as we played with a ball in the living room.24

Got back from walking the dogs this morning and saw my muddy sneakers sitting by the back door. (Not that it ever rains here anymore, but I managed to do my c25k walk/run last night during the EXACT time the nearby park runs the sprinkler system. I'm gifted.) My sneakers made my house look like someone active lives here. Wait, someone active DOES live here!32

I was able to do a Sparrow (picture of the move below) on the trapeze yesterday with minimal spotting. The teacher kept her hand on my stomach to make sure I didn't fall off and face plant (fun fact: I almost did) but I kept adjusting myself until I found the right position to lift up and let go of my hands and balance there for like a second or two. It was my first try and it felt awesome!
