I had to get my walk/run workout in early so I could stay overnight in hospital with my sis who has breast cancer and had surgery. It was still much warmer (I usually run a few hours later when it’s a bit cooler) and the dew point was 79! At 3 miles, I just stopped. I had been averaging 4-5, but I wanted to be able to help my sis and pushing myself under the conditions would have rendered me almost useless, and crabby to boot. I knew my cal count for the day was fine, so I took a break and just let it go. Having faith in the process and the long view has made me a happier person.38

I painted a bathroom in 3 hours today. I'll tell you what that beats most other workouts lol! Between the up and down, core muscle engagement and the stretching it was a great workout! Not sure a month ago I could have done that especially in only 3 hours!23

Yesterday I decided I couldn’t be bothered going on a hike - I was tired, my achilles was sore, TOM meant that being away from civilised toilet facilities might be frustrating - and I would just go back to bed.
Nobody was more surprised than me to discover me tromping along by Sengenydd *kitten* three hours later. It was a ten-mile hike, easily my longest yet (it was only meant to be 8 1/2, but I got lost and came the wrong way off the hill), but at the end I felt I could still go further. And today I feel fine (except for my achilles, which has unsurprisingly not been miraculously healed by the experience). Now I just need to find some more long hikes where the start and end points aren’t annoyingly distant from one another...21 -
...err, MFP? That particular kitten is a perfectly good British term for a ditch and/or wall, often used to mark boundaries in the middle ages. In Scotland the word is used extensively to refer to walls, particularly drystane ones. Just so you know.21

1 inch off my waist! And that skirt that's normally a little bit big for me (but recently have fitted perfectly) is a little bit big for me again!14

And in the meantime, I am having all sorts of mildly traumatic mental images!5 -
Talking to a mate on Saturday about gothing up for a night out in Leeds in 2012. Found the photos and had to make a collage.
On the right - no clue just how overweight I was - perfectly happy apart from constantly being too hot and bleh whatever I wore.
Left, prior to the half marathon few weeks ago. Chosen because the pose is sort of the same. (clearly tis the pose to do to hide belly! haha)
I lay awake for quite a while that night just looking at the pic. I have been feeling like I have stalled recently and to see it in that large a change really helped. Plus, the one on the right...it doesn't look like me anymore in my brain. Big step. Very weird feeling though. Anyway, ramble over lol35 -

I suspect that is is the derogatory term for a masculine lady/lesbian. But for most of the UK it is also a perfectly acceptable word for a ditch or raised stone wall - google Offa and you will see.9 -

It is weird; I have been going through the same thing for a while. FB memories pop up and if it has a picture of me, I generally don't share it. It's not shame as much as a feeling that the person in the photo isn't me. I also feel like I am stealth bragging when i post a "before" picture of myself. For a while I still felt like I was that person and barely recognized the person in the mirror. But at some point that flipped.11 -
I got a really good compliment the other day. My husband and I stopped in to a new restaurant, which has a deli counter, and he was ordering when the owner interrupted him to say to me, "I just wanted to tell you, you look very pretty and summery today. (To my husband) I hope you don't mind if I compliment your wife! I hope you compliment her often, she deserves it!" Then the two of them got into a bragging match about complimenting ladies, and the owner finished off by telling him he had to bring me if he ever came back in the restaurant, and if he showed up without me, he wouldn't get service! It was very funny and we were all laughing. I suspected that the owner, who is clearly a talker, does this to everyone, but from the stares we were getting from other patrons, maybe not!20

1 - yesterday at dinner I got full before I cleared the plate, and had to adjust my diary to account for what wasn't eaten. In my old life (pre-open-heart surgery), I would have eaten everything anyway, and been miserable afterwards.
2 - I apparently have a pulmonary embolism, and I'm still alive to tell about it...
Awesome Those things are always things to notice and be proud of2 -
After three months of slacking and making excuses I've stayed under my calories and have been moving a lot more over the past five days. Yesterday we went to have dinner with my husband's family. Usually when we have a family dinner or party all bets are off and I undo my hard work in one day. Yesterday I was very conscious of what I ate and stayed under my calories! My husband kept trying to feed me all day (he's a chef) and I kept ducking and dodging and saying no thank you. In the evening I was trying to find a way to not exercise, but told myself to just do it and felt great after!18

Last night, I went through my closet for the second time in two months and gathered yet another pile of clothes to donate because they are too big on me. Also, today I am comfortably wearing a pair of work pants I couldn't even squeeze into back in March. So I am feeling pretty good today! :-)20

Other people have talked about seeing or others seeing their shoulder bone (scapula). Last night I was laying in bed on my side. I had my arm wrapped around the front of me with my hand on the opposite shoulder. I didn't notice at first but I was rubbing the top of the bone near the shoulder. For some reason I started to tap my shoulder. I could easily feel my bone, there wasn't much meat (okay fat) over the bone. It hit me, Ohhhh THAT is what the others are talking about.13

I’m noticing the lower my weight gets the quicker clothes get too big. The first 25 pounds or so, things got looser but I could still get away with most everything. I went through a 3 week stall recently and I swear I lost inches during that time and now I’m down a couple more pounds and things are moving again in the too-big clothing dept! Started in a tight-ish size 12/med-lg, and now my size 8 jeans are getting loose. Back in January, I didn’t even dare think I’d ever fit comfortably in an 8, much less shrink out of them.17

I lost 1 1/2 inches off my waist!
