Running my first ever 5K this past weekend, and finishing it in under 40 minutes!!8

I've lost around 50lbs in a little over 4 months so I have a lot. At the beginning of April, I was slightly over 250lbs
Seeing people I haven't seen in a while and having them say, "OMG you look great!".
Putting on pants that were snug 3 weeks ago and discovering they are no longer snug
Having my husband call me "skinny".
I just bought 2 cardigans in a size medium. Not XXL. not XL. Not even L... MEDIUM.
I can cross my arms.

I think my favorite, even though it was several years ago, is when I tried on two pairs of skinny jeans in size 16 (I thought) and one fit, and one was baggy, and I was griping to my friend about how sizes are so crazy, and she pointed out the pair that fit was a 14. I'd previously worn 18 and was so used to always being size 22-24 for my entire life since teen years...so that made it extra cool.5

I just restarted my fitness regimen. Five weeks ago, I had to take a break after walking 2 mph for ten minutes. Now I can walk 3.2 mph for an hour without wanting to die/being in pain.4

Completing a Sprint Triathlon and not coming in last haha2

I jumped from 3km being the furthest I'd run without stopping to walk to 20.5km being the furthest without walking, taking 50min off my half marathon time and 6 minutes off my 10km time. Then less than a week later I ran the whole of parkrun (5km) for the first time taking 2mins off my official park run time and getting under 34mins for 5km.
While I'm still a plodder, what you really have to remember is that 2 years ago I couldn't walk across a room without crutches.5 -
I'm really cheap...so I love the closet shopping. Yesterday I realized that I might have some old clothes I can fit now in a bag of stuff I'd shoved aside for charity/rummage sales/etc. a while back to get it out of my closet. Found a pair of practically brand new jeans (I bet I didn't wear them 10 times) that fit me perfectly! I was planning on going out and buying some this week! No need now!2

I think my best NSV was when I ran my first 5k and was the first woman back and the third person overall.
I had not run for a month at the time and I have COPD, so 65% lung function.
It showed me how much the mind can overcome.3 -
Being able to do push ups when i couldn't do even one for the life of me.4

I have 3 from my recent vacation:
1. Realized that I can't eat as much as I used to.....eating out, I ordered what I used to on vacation....appetizer, entree, dessert. Ended up wasting a lot and feeling very uncomfortable. Eventually figured out to only order entree and maybe have dessert much later.
2. I wanted to go to the gym on vacation!!! It felt great!
3. Despite heat indices in the triple digits every day, I had plenty of energy and no problem walking 6-10 miles per day.
And just today, I got emotional in a store fitting room....because I couldn't believe I was in size 10 pants and size M tops. (WHAT?!?!) I thought I would never see those sizes again.....5 -

I finally broke down and brought a bigger size pants at the beginning on the month. My old ones were to snug to be comfy, like unbutton when sitting snug. This morning I put on my too small pants and they we just a little snug. Something must be working.1
