This morning I had a guy try and grab well I am not sure if was trying to grab me or my purse. I ran and he chased me. I had to run a few blocks before he gave up. I have been doing c25k and losing weight this really helped my ability to run and scream to get me out of the dangerous scary situation.
Oh wow - I'm sorry you had to experience that, but it's great that you had the ability to get away safely!10 -
1) I have worn out my cycling gloves. They have holes in them. Anyone would think that they are well-used . . .
2) The bike and I have travelled over 3,000 miles together since I purchased it in September. I wanted to get a photo of "3000.0" but it was a bit difficult as I was hurtling down a hill doing 37+mph at the time so had to stop at the bottom of the hill to take the photo. I (and the gloves) have actually done 3,891 miles since September as I use a couple of other bikes as well, and there have been occasions when I've forgotten to put the computer back on the bike.
3) C25K W2 D1 tomorrow and I am very excited about it; I can't wait to see if I can actually plod along for 90 seconds. If I manage it, I am going to get myself (and my son) some proper running shoes. At the moment I am plodding along in a pair of trainers.24 -

I grew up in Surrey, and remember having snow in April (over Easter, as it happened) one year! You're too young to know, but I think it was the year we had a heat wave the same summer. (Sometime in the 1970s.
)
It doesn't happen often, but I can verify that you're not going crazy and it is possible!
Maybe it's a sign you're in for a summer of headlines that read, "Phew, What A Scorcher!" again... 9 -
today I ran an 800 meter warm up for cross fit class and made it without stopping, also last half was uphill. May not be long distance but was a big accomplishment and I was very proud of myself and very thankful for encouraging coach who ran with me. This is the thing I love best about Cross fit, it is a community and everyone encourages each other21

I jogged (5.3 mph pace) the first 3+ of my run without stopping to walk at all! I ended up finishing the entire 5 miles in 58:40, which is SEVEN minutes faster than I was the first time I tried this distance, a month ago. More importantly, my knee isn't killing me quite as much as it normally does. I'm only 14 pounds into a 50-ish pound goal, and I love how much less pressure is on my knee every week.23

Oh, I am not too young to remember that summer (1976) I was living in Dorset at the time and it was a terrible drought. I don't remember any snow that particular Easter but I do remember 1978 when it snowed heavily and the snow stayed around for weeks. We lived in a remote farmhouse and my Dad had to drive into the nearest town, five miles away, to get food. My brother used to go as well, in a open transport box attached to the back of the tractor. The snow was so deep that you couldn't see where the hedges were. Us kids thought it was wonderful (snow and no school) but it was a nightmare for our parents.8 -
I went to my class yesterday - our own trainer is on a holiday so we had the owner instead and her classes are generally the hardest the gym has to offer. No change there, yesterday was brutal, but I made it through, and that is the real NSV, I totally enjoyed it though I was dripping with sweat onto my towel in the abs and glute routines she put us through. I really loved it.24

not my victory, but i'm really stoked by association. mr squats in my barbell club . . . he did 33% of a strict pullup today.
you'd have to have known the guy for almost two years like i have, i guess. he's crazy strong, but he struggles with pullups like i struggle with squats. he's just been too heavy to do them till now.
he's doing a year-long keto 'experiment' and is determined not to weigh himself except (maybe?) at the halfway point. so this is one of the most concrete payoffs he's ever received and he was just crazy over the moon and excited by it.
i've watched him working so hard for so long to keep trying and not to give up. so it felt so good to be there for his moment i wanted to post it, i guess.42 -
Very proud of my family today, we all did our first Parkrun 5k, including my 9 and 5 year old. We walked some of it, especially towards the end, little legs do twice as many steps, but we did it and we all felt OK!25

Sort of scale-related, but still...
Having heaved a bag of shopping up to my first floor flat, I thought I would see what one of the bags weighed. Exactly what I have lost since mid-Feb! 19lbs (there was a box of wine in the bag, not all food
). Horrifying to realise I have about 8 of those bags of shopping still to go, but at least I am on the right track. 31 -
I've had a pair of pants that I haven't worn in forever because they kept cutting into my stomach so bad I'd feel sick. Yesterday, I'd run out of pants and decided to try them on. Not only did they fit, but they were loose enough that I could pull them down without unbuttoning them!
On my last run (W3, D3 of C25k) I discovered that running for a minute doesn't feel difficult anymore. That's a huge NSV for me considering that two months ago, I was struggling with 45 second runs.
I've been hit on by 6 people in the last 3 days. Not really a 'victory' (since I'm not interested in that kind of attention) but it's nice that people are starting to notice my efforts.

(I don't understand why sizing is so inconsistent for smaller clothes, when I was fat, a 44 was a 44...)
Congrats on the progress. And tell me about it with the sizing. I started at 42 waist and xxl shirts, and they all fit fine. Soooooo much variance in medium shirts and 32-34 pants. Frustrating.10 -
I have registered for my first race, an 8k, where the challenge is to complete it before a symphony finishes playing 50 minutes of music. If you had told me 14 months ago that I'd be doing this...I'd never have believed it.28

Last October when I had already lost 125 Lbs, I had to leave a ride at Six Flags (The Joker) because I could not get the lap belt attached. It was probably about 8-10 Inches from locking. Over the weekend, I went to Six Flags again and this time I beat my own personal demon by getting on The Joker and having about an inch to spare on the lap belt. That was the best feeling in the world. I still have about 73 Lbs to go but this is so much better.
Good for you! I've had a few tight squeezes in the past on roller coasters, and it felt really good that they buckled up easier last summer. Looking forward to seeing how loose they are this year 14 -

What an intriguing concept! And an awesome race to participate in - well done!12 -
our lift was broken and we had to walk up 4 floors to our flat. it got fixed but i promised myself that i would continue using the stairs at least once per day. 3 times already today :-)16

I'm going to a wedding this evening, so I was trying on clothes. All of the ones I have are either too big, or too trampy considering there will be several of my students in attendance as well (my friend is a coworker/teacher). I have a 1-shoulder blouse that could work, but needs a strapless bra to go with. I bought one a month ago for prom, and it's now too big! The cups are fine, but I apparently need a 36 instead of the 38. It's both a good thing and a bad thing; that dude was $30!! So I guess my NSV is that all my clothes are too big? Lol23

Sooooo, tomorrow my son and I are getting some running shoes! We did the workout and both of us found it easier than Week 1's workouts, despite longer run times. We are loving it I really don't want a rest day tomorrow - I want to RUN! But I will be good and rest.
Also went for a bike ride, managed 20 miles before I had to be back in order to do the C25K workout with my boy. Cycled into the wind for a third of the way, a crosswind for a third of the way and a tailwind for a third of the way. It was hard going but I still shaved a couple of minutes of the usual time for that run. Maybe because of this:
Set the "watch your speed" flashing sign off again. Ooops
And on the way home, I spotted these (poor pic quality but only had the camera on my mobile with me)
So cute! Seven tiny, tiny goslings flanked by their proud parents. I think that this was their first trip out as they were stumbling about as if drunk and their parents trod on a couple but they just got up and meandered off in a drunken state again. The geese on the local pond are really very good parents, and when all of the goslings have hatched (several broods) they operate a creche and all of the goslings are grouped together. Better protected that way, I suppose.
The swans continue to incubate their eggs; we visit daily as we don't want to miss the cygnets. There are too many predators around, sadly
A good day!
Looking forward to tomorrow - my first pair of running shoes. I just need to do some research before hitting the shops 17 -
I had to retire my light blue hoodie because it got way too big on me and I am going to have to retire my dark blue hoodie soon for the same reason.15

I can finally share one even though I've only had modest loss so far (16lbs):
My knees no longer hurt/complain when I squat to sit on the toilet (sorry, TMI) or a low rise chair! Hooray!23 -

Okay, not really an NSV apart from my toddler asking to go for a walk (she walked three of the four miles we covered today) and the whole family going (including my grumpy teenager) but I had to share this photo from today:
There are eight eggs and Mama Swan was very happy to let us take photos from a distance. We have also discovered two more nesting pairs of swans at the local nature reserve. We went to find the goslings I saw yesterday but they were doing their own thing somewhere else today.

Its a gorgeous sunny day out today so I pulled out my shorts from last year and they're too big! So I went into my bin with the too small shorts I separated out last summer and tried them on, and they all fit! I now have 2 pairs of size 5, a pair of 7/8, and a pair of size 10. Such a weird range of sizing, but they all fit now yay!23

Rode a non side by side ATV for the first time this summer. You have to really lean out and contort your body to act as a counterweight when traversing some of the rougher inclined sections of trail. Felt much more nimble than last year. Great fun.26

After two herniated discs in my back I thought I would never be able to run pain free again the way I used to. For a few weeks back pain has stopped me after a certain distance on the treadmill and I have had to stop but today I doubled my old personal best before the pain was back. So happy! Looking forward to hopefully being back to my old distances in a not so far off future.34

Walked instead of driving to the gym = 4 extra miles of walking today34

Hi everyone, I haven't post here in a while. My recent NSV was three days ago. Last year I bought a fancy suit for a gala event that was canceled last minute. I stored the suit until last week where I was invited to a formal dinner. I went to my local tailor for a quick fix and he suggested me that I should buy a full smaller size eventually he tailored the original suit but I felt really encouraged to continue working out and cleaning my diet.
BTW all your stories are so inspiring!29
