I visited Pier 39 and Alcatraz in San Francisco Saturday and climbed hills equivalent of 22 floors and walked more than 5 miles! (And I’ve logged 9K+ steps Sunday and Monday this week.) I never would have been able to do that before I started getting healthy, and if I can do that now at ~290, just thinking about what I’ll be able to do in the future is mind-blowing!38 -
Wearing a pair of pants that I bought 4 years ago and never wore. I bought them when I lost weight before and could almost fit then. I never fit into them. I also did 8 pushups with proper form. 2 months ago I couldn't do one.29

I woke up and decided today is the day I bike to work. I haven't been on a bike in at least two years... I did 16 miles this morning, didn't take as long as I thought I would, and arrived at about the same time I would normally. Victory for sure!49

For the first time in over 2 years, I finally fit back into my size 32 jeans. They are a little snug still, but I'm getting closer to being where I used to be.32

I'm overcoming my eating disorder, today I am 9 days binge free! This is huge for me because before I was binging multiple times every day.61

I'm always in those non-form fitting scrubs so when I stopped into my job at the hospital wearing street clothes, I had co-workers complimenting me and even hugging me saying how "great" I looked. One guy confessed that he didn't even recognize me. He hadn't seen me in a while. That made my day!39

Just tried on my high school grad hoodie from 5 years ago... I probably only weigh 10-20lbs less than I did then, but I'm quite a bit smaller than I was. More muscle mass I suppose!

I'm getting quite good on the rower.
2000 meters in 08:22.
About 3 years ago I once did it under 8 minutes which is really fast but 08:22 is my quickest since then which I completed last week.24 -

I had a funeral yesterday where I'd seen many people I haven't seen in many many years. One said, "Let's keep in touch. We can go to dinner or workout because obviously you go to the gym."36

I just got back from a cruise and I wore a bikini 99% of the time. #WLSJourney31

My second son (6) asked to run the indoor track with me this morning—I followed his lead and we ran/walked a mile in 9:52! Little dude puts on some spurts of speed—my garmin said we hit 10.7mph a few times!
Yesterday my oldest (8, not the natural athlete my second is) said he can’t wait until he’s old enough to come work out with me at the gym.
Thrilled my active habits are making an impression. Also excited my attempts to make healthy food choices the norm are working too—my 6 yo told me not to give the two big boys any treats that day bc they’ve already had a piece of candy at their last day of class party. Same guy who refused a roll with dinner and told a friend the little snack bag of Doritos was too much for him, brother to the dude (8) who says no thanks to cake and goes for strawberries, and the one (2) who gnaws a piece of steamed broccoli as big as his fiat with evident relish, and the one (4)who gets crazy excited for a big dish of fruit, thanking me like I’ve given him his heart’s desire. Who are these children??? I can’t imagine any of these things coming out of (or going into) my mouth as a child!40 -
The other day I said to my daughter " oh my god, feel this!!!" and put her hand on my collar bone, she was confused and couldn't figure out what she was feeling for.... but as I explained, I haven't been able to feel these things in years!! LOL
Also, I am wearing a size 6 jeans for the first time in 20 years!

I've had 4 different people (2 at the gym, 2 at work) say something nice about my weight loss in the past week. I'm about halfway to my first major goal, so it's been a real ego booster and provides just a little extra fuel to keep going.30

I hadn't even thought of the NSVs associated with our families! Thanks for showing me that I need to think outside of myself a little bit . . .
So on that note, my six-year-old son has been joining me for my workouts in my home gym in the basement. He has his own little sets of dumbells, and we like to workout to Jessica Smith's You Tube videos (we like that her dog Peanut makes cameo appearances, haha). I love that my boy sees that exercise is part of our lives, and that he wants to participate!18 -
