Ran 2.31 miles, non-stop yesterday, and AFTER missing two "running days" of my C25K. I just decided to go ahead and skip them and go with the 2 mile run; if I couldn't do it, I would go back and re-do the days I missed. I did it, surpassed it, and could have kept going, but I had to slow down and wait for my 11 year old running buddy that couldn't quite make it.16

Was a bridesmaid in my sister's wedding on March 30th. Ended up getting alterations and lace straps added to the dress. The straps were tight (ish) when I got the dress back. At the wedding I kept having to pull them up. Knew I felt like my shoulders were less wide. Also didn't feel that self conscious with my arms being out. Still my worst area. Also people kept complimenting me which never happens.
Also read all the old posts from March until now. Congratulations everyone!25 -
Wearing a pair of jeans I couldn't fit into comfortably just a month ago.17

I bought some jeans at walmart around Christmas. They were my size (I thought) cause I have other pants that are that size.
Anyway they didn't fit and I was confused. Even if I sucked in they wouldn't even do up. I kept them hidden in m drawer and didn't return them.
Today they fit. Yes, they're snug but I was able to do them up. Can't wait for them to become too big though.23 -
I have both scale and non-scale victories!
I've been stuck at +/- the same weight for 3 months now. This morning, inexplicable, I've been 1kg down.
My NSV? I didn't give up.41 -
I lost 0.5in around my calves. I'm really surprised! I knew my capris fitness pants felt loose around my calves. I've always assumed genetically I will always have large calves. I'm happy I took measurements! I also walked 5 miles around the National Mall and Potomac river and didn't feel tired. It was so beautiful outdoors. I took great pictures of blooming daffodils, tulips and cherry blossoms at various parks. I had no idea I had walked that long until I checked my Fitbit and I had walked 13,000 steps or 5.6miles. Next time I'll time myself to see how fast I can do the walk again.

Latest health screening showed improved blood cholesterol levels, and my body fat had dropped by 2% even though I had only lost 1 pound. I interpret this to mean that my body recomp efforts are paying off and that some of my fat mass has been replaced by lean mass without me having to lose any weight! (Which is good, since I'm already at my goal weight.) It took me about 3 months to do this. I will be continuing on and hoping to drop another 2-4% body fat in total within the next few months.
Winning!22 -
I walked with my gym bag in the sun for 90 mins (with a break in between at bank) and did not get ridiculously sweaty and minging! Got to the bank and had the start of it. Nothing on the walk back to car and the sun was warmer then too! Normally after walking for 3 mins I am too hot and mardy and sweaty lol
winning!
(didn't even get to go to the gym as the swimming pool had a gala, so I carried my bag everywhere for 'nothing' tch)18 -

I had my 600ml bottle of water at work and one of the drs asked how much I had lost. I told him. "So effectively" he replied "you have lost about 11 bottles of water!" Pretty damn impressive looking at it like that20

I bought my very first pair of running shoes yesterday!31

I bought my very first pair of running shoes yesterday!
I actually had to order new running shoes because the one I had been wearing were completely worn out on the bottom!!! I've never had that happen to a pair of running shoes before! (Guess probably because I wasn't actually running in them lol)13 -
I went to my nephews' birthday party yesterday and didn't have any brownies or cupcakes! I had about a dozen jelly beans as my sweet treat and was satisfied with that.18

Did a 5K run yesterday. Terry Fox thing. Did not run the whole thing but didn't do too bad.26

2 little ones. I bought a shirt this weekend and it was a small. I'm sure it was vanity sized and all, but at this time last year I was still wearing 2 and 3 Xs. I bought a medium from the same company last week and my husband said it was big enough where I probably should have bought the small (whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? me?) so I jumped on the opportunity this weekend to get the similar shirt. It took every ounce of my self-restraint not to leave the "S" sticker on the front all day.
The second one was that my trainer cancelled on our bike ride but I went ahead and went for it. I had done this same route 2 weeks ago in some ugly winds. This time my average speed was 2.6 mph faster. In fairness, it wasn't anywhere near as windy but I was pleased to get my average speed up given those hills.32 -
Husband and I did our first 5k yesterday; and even though I haven't run in a year I ran WAY more of it than I expected I could. Starting out, I ran a full 5 minutes, no big deal, and only had to stop because the stitch in my side got SO painful lol.
Also, very close to my first weightlifting goal set; 60lb row and bench press, 100lb squat, and 115lb deadlift. I will probably hit them all this week!!!17 -
Had a totally rubbish bike ride today, I just could not get into "the zone". Took ages to get anywhere because of the wind, ended up going miles in a headwind which was exhausting and my wrists were causing me horrendous trouble. In the end I decided that I'd try again later, and headed for home.
On the way home, I was so annoyed with the experience, I decide to eat all the chocolate I could find in the house. Including any belonging to my children. It was going to be ALL the chocolate. No holds barred. Even though I'm not supposed to eat any chocolate due to a medication I'm taking. I didn't care. ALL THE CHOCOLATE.
I got back home, ready to raid the cupboards and everywhere that chocolate may be residing. I was going on a chocolate rampage. NOTHING was going to stop me.
Until I saw the bananas. They were so bright, and yellow, and delicious looking.
So I ate a banana and forgot the chocolate.
Hours later, I still don't want the chocolate.
I 'fessed up to my DH about it, expecting him to laugh but he just said that if I had eaten all of the chocolate, I'd have been sick. But it would have cured any further desire for the stuff.
And now I'm going out for another cycle ride. Just because.26 -
I fit into size 12 jeans on Saturday. Comfortably.
I feel a little overwhelmed by it, because when I first joined MFP I was a size 22W and those were getting too tight. After I lost a little weight but was still around a size 20, I wandered over into the "Normal" section to see what the future might hold for me if I kept at it. I specifically remembered picking off the rack a pair of Size 12 jeans and just laughing and laughing because they looked so TINY - I couldn't stop giggling because they looked child-sized compared to what I had been wearing for 15-20 years. The size 6 and 8 were completely unfathomable.... only a toddler could wear those!
Now I'm wearing size 12 and I'm still around 30 lbs from my goal weight. Size 8? Size 6? Watch out - here I come!41 -
