Got my run in before the solar eclipse "path of totality" came my way, so I have time to sit around and experience it.26

Seeing myself getting stronger. I am working towards being able to do push-ups on the floor. So far I can do them at counter top height and can probably go down to desk or table height now. But this morning during yoga (sun salutations) I lowered myself down from a plank slowly and steadily all 6 times I was in the pose. I used to get halfway there and then thump to the floor when my muscles gave up! Kicked my day off with a huge smile when I did that last one!30

The new neighbor guy being flirtatious this past weekend.25

I'm starting to be able to see my top two abs! Holy crap I've got abs guys!46

I swam with whale sharks! This is such an accomplishment for me in so many ways. I did not learn to swim (dog paddle) until I was 40. Until 3 months ago, I had never jumped in the water. I always waded in or climbed down the ladder afraid my head would go under. Last week, I jumped off a boat and swam with fish that are the size of a school buss. What an incredible experience to be face to face with these creatures.
My second NSV is I went paddle boarding yesterday! I bought a paddle board 5 years ago and had so much trouble just getting on it, I quit and never tried again. 45 pounds lighter and I can now get on and off in deep water and paddle around for hours. I will not quit ever again.60 -
That's all I have to say about that.
Apologies for the photo quality, it was taken in the dark tonight when I got home.
My teenage daughter called me crazy. I don't know why, I thought it was perfectly reasonable to go at 47.3 mph in the dark. On a bike. I concede that I couldn't see much as my glasses were covered in misty-rain but I had my lights on, so other people could see me. Not that anyone was about, they were avoiding the rain.
It was fun.
And I can do it all again tomorrow.

This is stupid but I posted a picture of my new haircut on facebook and got likes in the double digits in less than an hour... while an eclipse was going on! That's like.... more likes than my previous couple of pictures COMBINED.33

Handled a situation that would of sent me to "blow up diet-land" instead with healthy empowering choices!
I know the guy was just trying to be nice but it got my fur up!
Total stranger asked me if I needed help putting my six 5 gallon water bottles into the back of my car.
"No, thank you ...we got this." ( my adult son was inside paying.)
Ticked me off.
Son came outside, noticed I was irked.
I told him I WAS LOADING ALL THE BOTTLES!
I did it!...NOT tired....
Still ticked...I felt slighted.
On way home son suggested lunch.
Son went to fast food place for a lettuce wrap. Old choice me would of wolfed down a cheeseburger w onions and Animal fries!
NOPE,NOT DOING IT!
I asked to be dropped off at the local healthy grocers In the same shopping center as he went thru the drive thur.
I had 1/2 a Veggie Sushi and 1/2 of a spinach/strawberry/tofu salad for lunch.
Having the other 1/2 for dinner! Yummy!
Not ticked anymore, just happy I chose to not travel down an old and too well worn path.26 -
NSV #2 today!!! Got my first "have you lost weight"?
Yes!! Yes, I have!33 -
Went to Costco today and cashier asked if it was really me in the picture on back of my membership card....Sometimes I forget that it has old picture on it.
He congratulated me on my weight loss.....29 -
Yesterday was take Mom to the movies day. Yay!
Win #1 Pre-planned salted, buttered popcorn & regular soda into my meal log. (We split a small popcorn instead of the medium we used to get.)
Win#2 Spontaneously skipped adding salt to the popcorn. (Tasted just fine without the extra.)
Win#3 Ordered half regular Coca-Cola and half Coca-Cola Zero. (Yes, it's still junk + junk, but half the calories! I haven't found anything besides soda I like to drink with movie theater popcorn.)
Win #4 Under calorie/sodium goals!
I am proud of my changes in thought patterns. My former self would have written off the entire day as a "cheat day," throwing in a movie hot dog and maybe candy too.31 -
Feeling like my muscles are getting bigger and stronger. Now to fine tune my diet again so that the fat doesn't look so out of place! Feeling committed to lose my last 30 lbs!26

Been staying in my calorie goals but not back in the gym yet: house re-decorating / re-modeling is a workout in and of itself!
Over the weekend, I started wandering into what has always seemed to me to be the hard-core, guy section of Home Depot. Everything is big, stacked high, and no labels. I was in shorts and a way-too-big t-shirt. Paint all over me. Undoubtedly looking lost as I was trying to find drywall compound and a blue can of window-foam-expander stuff. (Huh?) Anyway, I am pretty clueless when it comes to guys, and it's only afterwards that I realized I was being checked out and flirted with a bit.
Guess where I'll be next weekend?!
I also found another acting class that starts in a couple weeks and is just a few minutes from my home. Perfect time, perfect location ... perfect way to start my weekend.
It's fun having fun! I had forgotten ...33 -
The Dr took me off blood pressure medication!!75

Had a bad day, didn't resort to food for comfort.43

I did ONE real pull up today. I was so excited I yelled for all my kids to line for high fives57

Fighting my way through a plateau the last couple of weeks trying to get to break through 33 lbs lost,
but today's NSV is testament that weight is not the only important part of improving my diet.
My cholesterol has been high for the last 3 decades, sometimes to a silly level (over 300 total,
over 200 bad). Then today I got this...I'll take the win.

I can touch my thumb and forefinger around my opposite wrist. It's been at least a decade, possibly two, since I could last do that30

The other week I bought a shirt from a non-Plus sized store for the first time in years. Just a regular mall store. It wasn't even their largest size! They go up to XXL and I fit an XL! I ordered it online and it arrived today and looks GREAT. I'm so friggin thrilled! I'm right on the cusp of fitting both straight and plus sizing but it still feels amazing to have so many options opening up to me again.36
