All day meeting today. Unbeknownst to me, pizza was being ordered for lunch. I happily ate my prelogged lunch while faced with stacks and stacks of pizza.32

My NSV was I hadn't done laundry had to put on a different pair of pajama pants and didn't look at the size but twice today they fell off my hips....they were XL and now going to donation bin21

I found a box of clothes.... A box of clothes so old that I had forgotten I even had it. I packed this box in Oregon - in 2002 - and who knows how long the clothes had been buried in a drawer before that... But, these were some leggings and pants that I thought I might be able to squeeze into, again, someday - so I put them on the truck and hauled them to Texas... and then shoved it into the back of the closet and forgot about them... for 15 years.
This weekend - I found the box... it was like Christmas! More clothes that fit!
Of course, the pants are from the 90's - and so high-waisted that the band comes to practically the bra-line... but, hey - pants that fit! I got long sweaters, right?
And the NSV? Time Travel. I have returned to the body size I was in 2001.
(Note on vanity sizing - these pants from 15 years ago - that fit me perfectly? Size 22. Comparable size pants that I am buying, now? 16/18)34 -
I'm diabetic and for the few weeks since I really started paying attention to what I'm eating my glucose numbers have gone from highs of 250 down to 120 and have for the most part been NORMAL in the 90s!33

I ran 3 miles without stopping this weekend. And the fat pants I bought last year when I was gaining weight are finally getting super loose on me.24

Ran a 5k in 33 minutes, my best time yet!
Also I realized that I am close to being a size M!!27 -
1) The elements did their best to prevent my cycle ride today. The weather looked perfect - blue sky, sun, fairly dry underfoot, hardly any wind visible in the trees. Until I started to go up a hill and discovered the gale force winds that the forecasters were on about this morning.
It was horrendous.
The cross-winds were blowing me all over the place, trying to knock me off the bike; the headwinds - well, it was like being on a stationary bike, only worse as breathing was a bit of an issue as well. I had to cycle in my lowest range pretty much the whole way with my head down to catch my breath. The crawler gear has never had such a good workout in all the time I've had the bike.
I STILL did 20 miles though, I stuck at it, despite there being several very tempting opportunities to take a shorter route home and that it took me a bit longer (OK, quite a bit longer) than usual to finish the route.
2) My little Raleigh bike and I have done 2050 miles since I purchased it in September of last year.
3) Strength training is changing my figure. My smallest-size trousers are looser - I have to keep hitching them up. They are a UK size 10. For me, size 10 had always been a pipe-dream. It was never going to be a reality.
Size 8 - here I come
4) My arms are getting some really nice definition. As are my shoulders.
5) My efforts are rubbing off on my whole family. My boys no longer moan about having to go out for walks. On Saturday my teenage daughter went to the gym with me (I don't think she liked it much, apart from the shower afterwards, typical teenager). Today my four year old asked to go for a walk. She and I walked four miles, with occasional "buggy breaks" as I was in a bit of a hurry (kettlebell class) and needed to walk slightly faster from time to time.
6) Pushing my four year old in her buggy is suddenly much easier (strength training coming into play again, maybe?)28 -
Today @ the pharmacy when I picked up some medication I was asked to see my ID... I realized that my actual weight is now LESS than the weight I lied about on my license in the first place.38

I also have clothes from 15 yrs ago and tried on pants this weekend. I find it bizarre that the waists are so high. Like, did we really think this was normal then? It's like wearing overalls.
In other news, I can barely button them (size 2's) even though I'm about 10 lbs less than I was 15 yrs ago. I guess bodies change over time. Or at least my belly has ...

All my victories are non-scale, because I SUCK at maintaining a deficit anymore.
Let's see...I deadlifted 290 and squat 240. Hoping to have 300 and 250 by the end of March.29 -
going to sound weird, but i broke into my hamstrings with a lacrosse ball today.
just sayin'. i have no trouble touching my toes with a flat back, so it wasn't like you would think they were tight. not at the macro level. but . . . get in there and work on the individual muscles and adhesion points, and believe me. they had Stuff.
i've broken them out of the stoic/denial complex, i think right now, when they have stuff going on, i have a feeling that they'll be talking to me about it. instead of just going no no, we're fine . . . when they are not.10 -
I kissed a guy and he picked me up off the ground. Both are NSV's.56

Started StrongLifts 5x5 yesterday.
But my NSV... Once I finished that I went running on the treadmill for 20 minutes non-stop. Granted only at 6kmh with short bursts at 8kmh, but I just ran even though my legs were begging me to stop!25 -
First time plank held for 1 minute36

Approaching two years since I began my journey in earnest and sixteen months in maintenance, and I'm doing something vain today. I COULD renew my license by mail, but I want a new picture! Off to the DMV today!41

Nothing vain about that. You want to make sure your picture is as accurate as possible. After all, you don't want people to think you stole it or something simply because the pictured you is unrecognizable with the actual you...
(says the girl who's going to renew her passport a good 2 years before she needs to simply because the current picture used in it was taken when she was at her highest weight and she now looks nearly 20 years younger than in said picture... )30 -

There's an argument to be made that it's for accuracy's sake, not vanity. You're just making sure that the photo looks like you actually look!

Damn, that's a really good idea. I was just looking at my driver's license photo a few days ago and realized how much my face has changed. I need to do this too.10 -
Holy moly--I was so psyched on Sunday to hit an 8:14 min mile and today I hit a 7:55! My first sub 8 minute mile ever!!! Part of a 3 miler at average 8:22. Woah.30

I was looking for a few new casual dresses and was able to buy mediums for the first time in about seven years!31
