Plus a mini-run across the playing field with my toddler. How could I not, when yesterday she said "I'll run with you, Mummy, if the others won't".
She ran faster than I did
You're getting perilously close to Week 5, Day 3!
I completed C25K in July last year having never run before. I was way too slow to actually be at the full 5K distance after the 30 minutes prescribed by the program but I stuck at it. It took me another month or so to nail it. I was considering a bridge to 10K program but instead I built slowly on my own from the 5K, taking care to keep the speed down and not go crazy. I kept adding a little more mileage every week and a tiny bit more speed more judiciously. I did however ditch the interval approach (couldn't stand getting started with running after a walk break). I run 3 days a week now religiously and choose Sunday for my longer runs. Well this Sunday I hit 10 miles for the first time - my NSV. I was the fat kid at the back of cross country at school!

I grabbed a coat this morning because it was unusually chilly heading off to work... Keep in mind that this is my go-to coat that was very form-fitting about 6 months ago. Well, today I was SWIMMING in it. I went to button it up and was in utter disbelief... I've lost enough weight at this point (30 lbs) that I could bring the button holes well past where they used to be, and the sleeves were drooping down.20

Bittersweet NSV of needing heavier weights! Bittersweet bcuz they ain't cheap and I hate to have to spend the cash. At least it'll be a good investment19

I've got two!
- I just finished week 1 of C25K, and I didn't die! I really thinking going to boxing consistently has greatly improved my cardiovascular health, as my breathing thus far has been under control while running.
- I caught a glimpse of myself in the gym mirror during a dance class and thought hey I look smaller (front view), lol then I turned to the side and the dream was over! But still feel like I'm noticing a little progress.20 -
My husband's friend from back when they were in the Air Force was in town today for a few hours and we all went to lunch together. His friend says whatever's on his mind and has absolutely no filter. They came to pick me up at work and when I was getting in the car my hubs friend said "dang dude! Your wife got hotter". Made me feel good:)29

Hope that made your husband step up his game I've had to work with the public a lot and it always made me feel good when a non-pervy, just outspoken guy gave me a compliment.14 -

Due to so many inspirational MFPers around here I went and bought a bike our company is sponsoring a 50km charity ride in October, so something to work towards.34

I ran 5k tonight... and felt like I could keep going31

I inspired a close friend of mine to make a stronger commitment to getting exercise after he noticed my progress during a crazy semester at uni. That, to me, is such a wonderful feeling, and worth way more than the fact that I dropped 5 pounds during this semester.25

1. I bought a one piece swimming suit two years ago that I had to fight hard to get into and was uncomfortable wearing because it was tight in the shoulders and back area. I hadn't worn it in almost 18 months. I tried it on three days ago and it slipped right on easy as can be and felt super comfy!
2. I can sit with my feet flat on the floor and my knees near my chin without hurting anywhere in my midsection or back.
3. I fell down five stairs about nine months ago and hurt my booty pretty severely (black-purple bruising which took forever to leave but left behind a lumpy fat deposit at the worst injured area) and the lumpy fat area is disappearing! I thought I'd be stuck with that forever!
4. Somewhat related to 3 - I am starting to have a booty that is cute and rounded in my jeans again instead of lumpy and cellulite marked and saggy/flat.
5. I'm not as hungry and food cravings aren't a problem at all anymore.
6. I have energy. A lot of it.
7. My wrist and back pain are going away.28 -
Took my two swimming this week, they are 5 and 9, parking near our house afterwards I got out of the car as normal, they were waiting on the pavement for me ( I know, well behaved!) As I rounded the car I shouted "Last one to the house is a nincompoop!" and sprinted down the road, the look on their faces and the whoops and laughter as they chased me! My son, the 9 year old, said, after we got in the house, "I've never seen you running before Mummy". I have vowed that I will run with them at least once a week, just for the sheer joy it gives us all
Go you! (Love the word nincompoop!)

Laughing at my "NO SCALE" success!
I have stalled the past 10 days, gained 4 lbs!
Back up to 208lbs in my birthday suit.
WTF?
This morning with hubby to his doctors appointment.
(He had lost 7 lbs in 4 months! Yeah baby!)
Decided to check on the doctor's scale my weight. 203 lbs?!?! With heavy blue jeans AND my heavy clogs on ?!?!
Wait.... I lost 5 -10 lbs in 15 minutes???
WTF?
Tech suggested my scale may be out of calibration or even broken.
Went home put my 10 lb weight on my scale multiple times.
The scale said 10lbs,15lbs, and even 17lbs!
Then tried to recalibrate it.
18,19,11,13,10,9, ummmmm no.
I threw out my scale!
Yes, I took fiendish delight in tossing that sucker!
That dear folks is my current
"NO SCALE " victory !
This made me laugh out loud!!

Awesome! (Just wanted to repeat it since I can awesome a post only once )
Enjoy cycling and good luck training up to those 50km.
I'm trying to train up to the distance between my house and my brother's (30km) since I currently only have small distance goals I need to train for (daily 7km commute to train station and the 7km all uphill back).10 -
Yesterday I helped my husband build a stone wall. As the unskilled laborer, I had the pleasure of moving a (literal) ton of rocks. Today, except for the squished thumb, I am pain-free. What a difference 15 lbs can make to the knees! Not to mention all that practice picking things up and putting them down.19

I was sitting on the couch and felt discomfort on my shoulder blades. Figured it was due to my bra straps and didn't think much of it. Later I sat back down again and my shoulder blades still hurt. Realized I wasn't wearing a bra and that I was just feeling my shoulder blades pressing against the couch.
Do skinny people feel uncomfortable everywhere?? lol19 -

I definitely did this this morning at the gym (both the front and side comments lol).
My NSV: I lost a total of 5 inches from all over my body in the last 2 weeks with minimal scale movement. Track your measurements, people! You won't regret it!
Other NSV: I ordered workout pants online from Old Navy (I recently have been excited that I can actually purchase things from the regular section of stores) and I ordered what I thought would be the right size pants- they are too big! Time to return and get the next size down13 -
I bought a dress online for a Halloween costume (I start early, lol). It was from a Chinese seller so I was worried about it being too small, so I bought the biggest size they had, which was two sizes up (an L to an XXL). The measurements looked right for my size, and I knew that if it was just a bit too small, that it would be fine by the time Halloween rolled around. I'm top heavy so really, I worried about it zipping up in the chest area.
Got it in today, and it was big enough to throw over my head. Didn't even have to unzip it. Well! I hadn't measured since I first looked at it a couple weeks ago, and remeasured today. Yep, definitely on the downward size trend. If I hadn't lost weight it probably would have fit.16 -
Got up with every intention of biking to work this morning, like yesterday, and just didn't feel like it.
So I jogged the 3K to work instead.43 -
On Sunday, I finished my 7th race of the year...(1) 10k and (6) half marathons.28
