1) Ran 3.74 miles yesterday, which I haven't done for a couple of years.
2) Discovered that I can no longer wear those particular shorts to run in because they're too loose and have no drawstring. Awkward.30 -
Down to a size 10 in pants. Started as a 18/20. I'm officially a size Medium but I was able to fit in a size S dress at American Eagle!41
-
Little but important: Made myself some more fruit/nut oatmeal cookies for a sweet treat
Used 2/3 the amount of sugar and cut the salt; will try 1/2 the amount of sugar next time. Licked only one beater, and did not "sample" three cookies' worth of dough while rolling the dough balls. Baked only 12 (some for me, some for the roomies), and froze the rest for later. Portion control FTW!
ETA: I'm slowly learning to adapt favorite foods so I can comfortably eat them long term. Tastes good. Feels good. I'm content today35 -
My latest NSV was finishing an indoor triathlon yesterday and hitting all of my goals!28
-
Ran 5k this morning after being sidelined for several months by a knee injury - so good to be back at it!20
-
I'm out of 40's! From size 46 to size 38!46
-
I no longer experience knee pain from working out. Also in yoga, I am able to transition from downward dog to chatarunga without dropping my knees. My planks are stronger as well.31
-
Today I was able to return to running after a 5 week hiatus due to injury...woohoo!33
-
Logging my food again and changing my settings to reflect current weight-it has been creeping up.25
-
Finally able to squat my own body weight - one of my workout bucket list!34

My favorite victory is going shopping right in my own closet !
Much more satisfying than any scale can ever show and better than shopping
at the stores. I find stuff I know already I like, and I can take my time.
Going thru past clothes and finding 8 pairs a pants that now fit again, and I can now fit into all my size L
dress shirts. I must have 30 very nice/expensive shirts that now go back into the rotation. Can't wait to
get into the next size down pants and the "M" shirts30 -
guy who works in the warehouse next door reintroduced himself to me today LOL. He was being a flirt and didnt recognise me and it only been maybe 2 months since he last saw me XD33
-
I ran my first 10k race today and I'm ecstatic about the time (oh, and the fact that 33 runners came in after me!)36

Re starting after a long rough fall and winter. 1 week in. 3 lifting sessions and today I even laced up my shoes and stepped out the door. My lungs kindly humbled me from thinking I was anywhere near fit, but hey- I went.32

But today for some reason, I was able to push through the fear and I kept practicing the moves until I nailed them. I've been trying to get these moves for about 2-3 weeks now.
Ayesha:
Leg switches (my studio calls them electric switches):

For the love of all that is holy.
I know, right? One day I will have wonderful muscles like she does! Girl! You are AMAZING!

Got some sort of weird bleach stain on some pretty new jeans...but was happy about it because they are starting to get too loose anyway
Now I won't feel bad about getting new ones soon!
And ran my fastest mile ever as part of my 4 miler today--7:39!!21 -
A couple more little things:
I had a "reassessment" with my chiropractor's assistant yesterday, and mentioned that losing weight seems to have helped my back pain a good deal. She said "Yeah, you've lost a LOT!", and asked how much. When I told her 55lbs, her eyebrows nearly took off and she said, "That's like a whole child!" Thinking about having lost a small person is a different way of looking at it, I guess!
And she'd never said anything to me about it, even though I go every 3-4 weeks, so it was kind of nice to know that she HAD noticed.
From the Elephant Penis thread, 55 lbs is a 5000 BTU Air Conditioner that you were lugging around with you everywhere. The penis is next in your achievements
http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/660835/ive-lost-an-elephant-penis/p1
55 pounds = a 5000 BTU air conditioner
60 pounds = an elephants penis
66 pounds = fats and oils an average American eats in a year
70 pounds = an Irish Setter
I'm not sure how my husband would feel about it, if I tell him I'll soon have lost a penis...
That list is great, though! I'm aiming to lose a gold brick in total!11 -

It's silly, I know, but instead of just seeing skin, I'm starting to see the little dips and the beginnings of raised bones. I know I sound so weird, but it's nice to see it again
When I first rediscovered mine, I could feel the bones before I could really see them and I couldn't keep my hands off them! I realised that I kept touching them as if to make sure they were really there. Now, though, they're starting to feel very bony and a bit odd, and if I have to scratch an itch or something it feels weird! They don't look bony, though - I can see them in the mirror, but they're not that noticeable, so I don't know why they feel the way they do.
But anyway - what I really wanted to say was that I completely understand your fascination with them!

I finished week 2 of C25K today. I was going to do it at the gym, but on a lark I decided to hit up the local track instead and try it outside. It was cold (for a Californian wearing gym clothes), drizzly, and I forgot my headphones. But I didn't let any of that stop me. It was a bit harder on the track than the treadmill, but I'm confident that week 3 will be no problem.23
