I work at a high school, and found out they were doing a special treat for us Instructioanl Assistants at our last meeting of the school year. So instead of just not having the treats, I planned ahead and skipped breakfast and lunch (still had my coffee which was a mistake, with no solids to help soak it up, it went right through me, lol). And when it came time for the meeting, I only had one small slice of cheesecake, a small brownie, a small cookie, a croissant, and a few meatballs.
My NSV was I was able to enjoy myself and exercise portion control when it came to indulging in treats.31 -
I was accused of steroids for the first time in a long time! People are finally noticing the gains!
FYI I don’t use steroids28 -
I just inhaled two doughnuts. The NSV is that I actually logged them, and with a bit of tweaking throughout the day, I should be able to make them fit. Maintenance calories, at least, for sure.
ETA: They were delicious.37 -
Today marks the 500th day of logging my meals!!
And I've been maintaining since January!
It's a good day!50 -

While talking to one of the staff members at my gym (The Edge) in Connecticut, I mentioned that I lost 60 lbs by going to their gym 3 times a week and love their Zumba class. She was so proud of me that she got me a new "free" gym t-shirt as a gift. That just made me so happy.31

A four minute low plank. I've been adding a few seconds each time I do them (three times a week) instead of to failure. My new goal is five minutes; after that, I plan to hold one to failure because I'm genuinely curious.32

No more dealing with knee and back pain! I can sit down and get up without grunting. I can go up the stairs easily. Heck, the stairs have become my warm up! Seriously!!28

Went on a little run earlier with my son. We decided to try a more challenging route, so decided to run to the next village. Now, this is just four miles but take a look at what we took on:
See the little blob at the top of the hill? In the middle of the light bit? That was a man with his bike, about two-thirds of the way up the hill. He went past us on his bike but had to get off about half way up. I took great satisfaction in the knowledge that I can cycle right to the top of this hill!
I still cannot believe that I managed to run up all of the hills on this route (and there were many, these were just two of the more impressive ones). I still cannot get over the fact that I'm running at all, let alone up hills.
I'm now itching to try another activity. I've been lingering on this site for almost three years. At the beginning, I started walking. The next year, I started cycling and then strength training. The year after, running. Still doing all four but want to try something else. My son enjoys paddlesports so I may have to try kayaking. Or maybe rowing. But something.
The weather tried to ruin my fun today as it rained for several hours this afternoon, so we didn't get out to run until quite late. By the time we'd walked the four miles back home, it was getting dark. I've been out on my bike every day for a long streak and it looked as though today, my streak would end. I decided not to let the dark beat me so shot out for a very short bike ride. Two miles and eight minutes later, I had my bike ride in for the day42 -
@Madwife2009 Beautiful! And inspiring.
I've enjoyed your progressive journey over the past 2 years. You inspired me to start running last fall and I just completed my first 10k this week. You will probably enjoy paddling. I have kayaked and canoed over the years and just started Stand Up Paddle Boarding this year. Good luck with whatever you chose to take on.14 -
I paddled my SUP 8 miles this afternoon.24

We’re having a potluck at work tomorrow, and I decided to make a couple summer salads. I was almost done when my back started hurting, which is typical when I spend time in the kitchen. But I realized I’d been standing for more than three hours straight between grocery shopping for the ingredients, bringing in and putting away groceries, doing dishes before and after and the actual food prep. This may seem small to some, but when I started this journey I was gasping for breath sitting up in bed. It’s nice to do the everyday stuff so easily!50

Somebody noticed. I have only lost about 10 lbs this go round so far, but i am over 20 lbs down from my highest weight. I saw the optometrist, and her assistant commented that i have lost weight and complimented me.32

Testing the camera on a new phone and realising I have cheekbones you could cut yourself on

Walked past free display in the supermarket, sweets, cupcakes and other goodies, was tempted but resisted hubby was impressed.22

Today I am wearing jeans I haven't been able to fit into in 2 years. :-)38

My 9 year old lifted me up off my feet... we both think this is great lol!
We also do monthly challenges together, like squats or the ab challenge one right now. I’ve never had so much motivation to do something and would probably have slacked if he wasn’t doing it with me but I have to show him how to follow through, even if I don’t feel like it! Each month I see if he wants to take a break but he loves it, we are on month 5.29 -

We've missed you! I'd also like to try rowing, but kayaking, canoeing, and dragon boating are all great activities too. Particularly since you really enjoy and appreciate being outside. Such a nice way to spend a summer evening. Plus getting a workout too5 -
New goal ideas:
Single digit pants size
Do 10 real push-ups
Do 2 pull-ups (completely unassisted)
Jog a 5k
Do a hand stand without a wall
I am currently working on the middle 3.
Nice ideas! I LOVE the pull up one. I just started messing with that machine a week ago. Its so empowering!!!
Came up with some new goals:
Get into the 30's % range for BF% (currently 41.2%)
Rock size 10 jeans (Currently 12's)
Get to "Overweight BMI"... this one is kind of a scale victory and a NSV at the same time. (Currently 31.1)
Get my pull ups to 50lbs assistance (Currently doing 9 @ 95lbs, 6 @ 80lbs, and 3 @ 75lbs)
Its go time!

Managed a trip to the supermarket without any need for a 'treat' despite walking down the sweets and treats isle.
Walked out with nothing more than the peppers, strawberries, carrots and chicken breasts I went in for!
For me that huge!33
