Had to visit the podiatry clinic today, in the new health care building in my town. There are three floors. To my surprise (not) the clinic was, of course, on the 3rd floor.
I took the stairs. There were 13 flights altogether. Plus a couple of steps outside.
I made it to the top without looking and feeling I was going to die.
All of that cycling, walking and running is paying off.
It's the little things32 -
My nsv today is that I technically finished w4 of c25k
The other nsv in this is that I'm sticking to something I don't really like to do that much because the benefit outweighs the not liking it much
@Mooma29
Firstly, well done on completing week 4 An outstanding achievement (and I really mean that, because I know how hard it is).
Secondly, you may find that you come to love running. I always hated running. I would avoid it wherever possible (and I became very good at avoiding it). Now, having completed the C25K, I absolutely love to run. I hate rest days as I just want to go out and run more. But I am sticking to running every other day as I don't want to cause an injury whilst I am still learning how to run.
Tomorrow is a running day and I am really excited about it. My son and I are going to run to the other side of our town. It's about 4.5 miles which allows for the warm-up/cool-down and we won't have to worry about running out of road - we often find ourselves looping a bit trying to get the distance in. Then we'll either walk back or get DH to collect us, but that depends on how hot it is by the time we get there

Ran 5k solid and my fastest ever mile, officially finishing the c25k! Now to get faster for a colour run in two months time, super stoked!37 -
well this nsv happened about a month and half ago but I had not written it here yet and I am just to excited to not tell the world. I finally had the courage to jumped in with both feet and signed up for my first FULL marathon! I have done 3 halves, a 10 miler and countless 5k but I never thought I would go off the edge crazy and sign up for a full. Maybe next I'll sign up for a 50k43

My first - and only so far - 5K was a color run. Loved it.13 -
Had to buy a new suit yesterday and felt great when the salesman brought out 34 inch waisted trousers. I had a 40 inch waist when I started MFP back in February.31

I bought jeans at H&M yesterday. Last time I could do that was in 2011!25

Person at work noticed, which then made me determined to go to the gym tonight.25
-
My alarm went off at 445am. My good intentions to run were battling with my desire to sleep. I looked at what the temps will be tonight at 7pm and decided a 5am run at 60 degrees would be way better than a 7pm run at 90 degrees. I got my happy *kitten* out of bed, put my hair in a ponytail, and put in 2.75 miles before 6am. In my "little" running shorts no less (usually wear capris, but was feeling a bit spicy today).35

THIS. A thousand times this! I've been hovering between a 14-16 for too many years now. I was never quite big enough to roll over into plus sized stores so every time I go into a store I pick up the largest size they carry and see if it fits. If it fit, I bought it, because the choices were so limited.
Good for you!
YES. THIS SO MUCH THIS. I can choose what to wear now (at first it was overwhelming and scary to have so many options because I didn't even KNOW what to do). Now I'm getting to play with all sorts of styles to see what's flattering, what colors I like, etc. I don't have to settle when I shop for clothes now!
I cannot stress how much the I don't have to settle when I shop for clothes now! is life changing.24 -
Wedding ring is too big AND a couple of weeks ago I could stop using the seat belt extender in my car. That was a great feeling.30

I know I have been reading a lot of people having issues with wedding rings being lose. Here's what I ended up getting: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0OX3EW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It really works great and is very discreet. I can hardly tell I have it on. Fairly cheap and highly recommended! It's also super easy to adjust, if you have to continue to make it smaller over time.8 -
I completely understand what several of you are saying about choosing your clothes rather than settling for what is available. I have more bags of clothes going to charity today. I am pretty sure only things that fit are left. Soon, I will go through everything again and get rid of the "Yes, it fits, but I do not like it" items.
The Great Purge continues: I've shredded bags and boxes of paper and donated unwanted books. I also removed the last of the carpeting from a spare bedroom I am turning into my library. The hardwood floors need to be refinished, but it is great to be creating everything just the way I want it -- from clothes to bookcases.28 -
At the Fourth of July celebrations yesterday I had my burger, chicken nuggets, pizza and other goodies and STILL came in at 1850 calories! My belly was happy and my legs were thanking me for the 10k hiking.18

Tomorrow I'm doing Week 5 Day 3 of Couch to 5K and am actually looking forward to seeing whether I can run/jog 20 minutes without stopping. This morning I've summoned up the nerve to go to my first barbell class at the gym. My attitude is changing as I'm getting more confident in my strength and discipline!22

So, on the clothes topic, I'm between an L and XL right now. Was in one store looking to find a shirt for Canada Day, and all that was left was XXL and larger.
Second time this has happened to me and it ticks me off more than it should.22 -
A random stranger just made an offhand comment about me being skinny! ME! I know he was just being nice, but nobody has called me skinny in at least 4 or 5 years. Day MADE! Thank you kind stranger!26
