I doubled the weight I'm lifting on my barbell squat. Granted, it was a small weight to start out with, but I'm looking at it as a step in the right direction.

Just back from a couple month hiatus

when a local business brought in cookies and I turned them down! I've been struggling with that but, proud that I passed them off to everyone else in the office that could enjoy them.

I maybe my last drop off of big clothes. I’ve gone from UK size 24-26 in August 2016 to UK 10-12 (US 6-8) today. I have been buying new clothes as I went and taking my too big clothes to charity so no going back! I don’t want to get any smaller, just tone up, I hope to stay a 10-12 so weird feeling this is my forever wardrobe not temporary whilst losing. No more too big clothes left in my wardrobe!

I went to IHOP to pick up some food for my sibling. I was super tempted to get something myself and I resisted!

50 day streak on MFP!! Down 16 pounds (it's actually a bit more, as I'd lost 5 pounds or so because of the flu in the previous month).

Looking forward to making it a 365 day streak! At least.

i woke up looked outside and it was raining.

I still peeled myself out of bed on my day off at 630 in the morning and walked my butt to the gym. Even when i knew it was gross out normally id haggle with myself and say *kitten* the gym ill clean my house or something instead.

Admittedly the gym was fuller thn i expected and i only managed to do 45 minutes of bodyweight stuff in the studio (i love my alone time but its not the most muscle building or cardio sort of workout lol) So it wasnt the best workout ever but i kept myself moving and working every muscle i can i did good.

Screw you rain, I got this ;D

I quit my blood pressure medicine in stages. I started taking only half about 2 or 3 months ago and then I stopped the remaining half Sunday. I Smoked some pork on Saturday night so have been eating that for 2 days and wanted to check to be sure my BP was staying down. 119/68 with a pulse rate of 42. I checked with a friend who is a PA and I am officially off the pill. He was concerned with my pulse rate but the amount of cardio may have something to do with that.

The scale is no longer moving like it was but my health continues to improve.

I had a 5K run two weeks ago and finally after so long ran each mile under 10 mins. My time was 28:56. Never, i mean never would i have thought that i would get that time. Started at 17 min a mile since I really never ran. Started working at it since 5 years ago.

My nsv is fitting into a pair of jeans I haven't been able to wear in almost 5 years! I started at a size 14 and this pair is a size 8!

rainingribbons · March 2018

Been feeling a bit discouraged lately because the scale has stalled and I haven't really been seeing any body composition changes... that all changed today though when my glasses kept falling off during my workout! I've been so busy looking for changes in the rest of my body that somehow I completely missed my face!

I love NSVs! I've had some wonderful scale victories lately, but having blood pressure of 95/66 and a resting heart rate of 57 is so wonderful!

...As is my latest NSV: I ran what I believe is my first-ever straight-through (no walking) mile today. 18 laps was the end, with a total time of 11:22.98 (didn't pause it until part-way through the first lap of the cool-down walk). I've only walked or walk/jogged the mile before that I can recall.

Cut off a portion of my belt.

I met with a personal trainer for a "freebie" session at my gym. I found that I actually like working with weights. Go figure. There's an instant sense of satisfaction handling the free weights. Hopefully this is what I need to get reach my first goal. Only 18 more pounds to go!.

Today I woke up with really bad TOM pains. First thought? Need to work out ASAP to get rid of this...

I was a couch potato, so just 8 months ago I'd have been on that sofa with paracetamol & a hot water bottle feeling no better for it(never did work for me)....instead I'm having my after workout latte thinking the pain is all but gone. Magic

RuthanneBowers · March 2018

So I missed mentioning a milestone a while back... I am in one-derland! I think it happened back in January or December, I am not sure.

Next milestone - I am no longer classified as obese on the BMI scale! I know that it is really really not accurate, but it still feels good. Hit that one last Friday!

And today, I am wearing goal jeans! I bought these in the summer of 2015 and was only able to wear them a few months before I "outgrew" them. But I am wearing them again and a co-worker commented. And I am wearing the jeans without a belt! But, I don't live in the States so if I shrunk out of these I am going to have a problem because I can't get anyone to bring me new ones until mid-July.

PS - for anyone who doesn't know, NSV means non-scale victory. It means celebrating the things that show we are getting fitter and healthier. The scale is full of lies!

I got out of bed when my alarm went off at 3:45 this morning, and I did NOT want to. :yawn:

Oh me too! Working out doesn't get rid of the pain entirely but it reduces it SO MUCH, way more than anything else! A very welcome side effect of working out!
