I remember when running one ten minute mile was a chore. Now I can run three AFTER a strength training session24

For the first time EVER, in my ENTIRE life, I got rid of a belt because it is now too big. I pulled it out of the closet and wrapped it around my waist and the last hole is about 2 - 3 inches from where I need a belt to latch. I'm keeping it with my one pair of "fat pants" so when I reach my goal weight I can take some awesome pictures.
Another small victory - I went to the Russell Stover Candy Outlet last night and wasn't really even tempted by the candy. I bought what I went in for (sugar free chocolates for Mom) and left with nothing extra. My willpower is exponentially stronger than it was 6 months ago.30 -
For the first time in 15 years I have resisted the festive feast at the nurses station (and there is a LOT of lovely looking food at that station!)
As a reward, I need to make a new hole in my belt.15 -
We had an earthquake six weeks ago and our bedroom mirror fell down and broke. I haven't bothered to replace it yet because I am looking for something I really like. So because there are hardly any other mirrors in the house I have not been able to see myself much. Today I was at my mothers house and happened to glance in a mirror and noticed the front of my shoulder was really popping out - the structure of it was much more defined. Pleased to know the push-ups of the last month are doing somehting!
I read that as "We had earthquake sex..." And I was thinking "Good for you!!!"32 -
Several days ago, I posted about my favorite pair of jeans which I was finally able to button all the way up. This post is about my second favorite pair of jeans, which I'm wearing right now. They're exactly like my favorite pair, just one size bigger. Well, this morning I discovered that they've become loose enough for me to stick my entire hand down my pants while they're still buttoned! There's no way I could've done this three weeks ago. At this point, I'm pretty sure all of you are asking yourselves, "Why is he sticking his hand down his pants and why on Earth is he telling us about it?" To be quite honest, I'm asking myself that very same question as I type this. I clearly didn't think things through before I started writing this. At any rate, Happy Holidays everyone!52

I was just on the rowing machine at the gym. When I stopped and took out my headphones, the guy next to me asked what I was training for. "Uh, an indoor rowing race actually. What gave it away?" He said that people don't work as hard as I just did unless they have goal in mind, and because I looked like a pro.
Couldn't come at a better time. My weight has been stuck for a couple of weeks, I still have 50 lbs to go, and the recognition was nice.29 -

It's great to find a fellow rower on MFP! I just started rowing three weeks ago and I'm loving it. My goal is to compete in an indoor race at some point in 2017. Which one are you training for?2 -
Sweet! The CRASH-B in Boston. I live in New England so it's pretty close, and the February timeframe is perfect. Otherwise I'd have chosen one that's slightly less intimidating! Which ones are you considering?1

I was actually planning to start researching all of that on Monday. The only one I've heard of is CRASH-B but I figure Los Angeles will have at least a couple of races (regattas?) I can jump into. Hoping to get on the water in the fall of 2017 as well!-1 -

The Concept2 website has a race calendar, as well as a most excellent training log. I'll stop high hijacking this thread now, but I'll start a rowing thread in Fitness to see if we can find anyone else!

Every year I make caramel corn for Christmas. The recipe includes corn syrup which does not seem to come in small sizes, so I buy a big bottle to use only 1/2 cup. Then I usually indulge my sweet tooth with the rest of the bottle over the next couple of weeks - which is kind of gross but I loved it. This year when I was ready to make my caramel corn, I realized I didn't even have to buy a bottle because I have been logging on MFP for one year now and I had totally forgotten about last year's corn syrup17

First NSV is that I am officially down 2 pant sizes and 1 shirt size!! I was feeling it in my clothes and finally tried some new clothes on. Definitely a very happy day!! Second NSV is that the holiday season was my kryptonite the last time I tried losing weight. I can't count the treats I've turned down, especially at work (I work in a clinic and everyone brings things and drug reps love bringing in treats!), I've stayed on track and have lost weight the entire holiday season. Hooray!!20
