It's not your clothes getting more sexy. It's all you!

It arrived in the mail and it does not only fit. It looks amazing!
Can we see a picture please?! Sounds beautiful!2 -
Went for a bike ride a couple of days ago, hoping that the odometer was going to hit 10,000 miles.
I'm keeping an eye on the odometer as I REALLY want to see the 9,999.9 click over onto 10,000 miles.
So, it goes . . . 9,999.7 . . . . 9,999.8 . . . . .9,999.9 . . . . then 0.00.
I (stupidly) didn't realise that the odometer only went to 9,999.9.
I was devastated. Briefly. Because I was going to stop and take a photo (little things like that make me happy).
My bike and I have now done over 10,000 miles together. It's usually a good relationship, with the odd blip. Usually punctures.44 -
Some pants I tried on a few weeks ago that were too tight to wear now are just a teeny bit snug and I can wear them again!23

I finished c25k today (distance version)! I can run 5k!! This is my third time attempting it and my first time to a) finish and b) not get injured.
I think lots of walking over the last 6 months, and lots of stretching/core work (yoga, pilates) on the side, made the difference.
I rewarded myself with a deep tissue massage (ouchie!)!

First day I hit all my rings since the summer! Such a little NSV but it's something!

I fell off the wagon for a while, but I logged today, so that is good. I'm in a really good place psychologically, so I haven't felt as much of a need to exercise for emotional stability, but I probably need to start just so that I am more active.25

Lots today—My three oldest boys (9,6,5) ran their first “real” obstacle race this morning (1.5 miles with 10 obstacles)—they’ve been training on their Ninja Warrior line outside constantly. So great to see them make an achieve fitness goals while having fun!
I kept up with the older two, who finished the course in 13 minutes (including all the obstacles! I wasn’t allowed to do the obstacles, but I ran with them, and they were booking it!). My 6 yo wanted to run the course again and I ran it with him a second time.
And since I couldn’t do the obstacles, I went to the gym to lift afterward, then went out for a night of dancing with my husband. Loving having an active life with my family!
And loved feeling good in a dress I felt bulky and blah in two months ago!32 -
Went out to lunch today and got salad instead of fries as a side!26

Enjoyed pizza and sides with my son last night without going too crazy (slightly over goal, but under maintenance).

Last month I climbed Everest on a bicycle!
OK will admit that's not strictly true and reality isn't anywhere close.
Everest is 8848m high and my elevation gain from my bike rides in October was 8904m as a personal challenge to improve my hill climbing ability.36 -
Ran a 5k in 32:30 yesterday!28

Did a seven mile hike in the mountains yesterday. I couldn't have done that 4 months ago.28

I have slayed my dragon pants! 5 years ago, I bought khakis which, back then, barely fit, but I wanted them, damnit! They've been hanging in my closet ever since, having been worn a grand total off 0 times. I once tried them on again and could not get them past my thighs. Today, on a whim, I tried them on again, and not only do they fit, but I won't be able to wear them much longer, because they're already very loose. Go me!43

Awesome, but what are dragon pants? Is this a style?3 -

LOL, no, dragon pants - or dragon anything - is a piece of clothing that you've been wanting to get back into for ages, and it would never fit. Until you "slayed the dragon" and they fit again.

@jdubois5351 - Congratulations! I have a pair of dragon pants for my next mini-goal. They were so cute; I just could not pass it up!7

S is for success!

@CarvedTones -congratulations! It’s amazing (and somewhat surreal) to see those sizes go down, isn’t it!

62.51 miles.
Lots of hills. Lots of steep hills. Some fast downhills.
A lot of fun (well, for me)
I WILL do that 100 mile bike ride.
The only reason I didn't do it today was that I had to be somewhere this afternoon.
Maybe tomorrow . . .
You should be able to go from 62.51 to 100. My best before I did the Century ride was 57 miles. I have been off the bike since breaking my ankle this summer. Heading to the gym this morning hopefully can get back on the bike sometime before the weather is too cold.13 -

I was surprised I could only ride it for about five minutes after I put it together then I was completely winded. I'm now averaging about a 100 miles per week. My average cadence is between 100 rpm and 110 rpm. I did a 31 minute session this afternoon. I just finished completing a 35 minute session. Two sessions in one day at a good pace. I am pretty happy about that. I haven't had cardio like this in years. Slowly working back to a reasonable level of fitness. I would like to be in the condition I was in my mid 20's. That will take time. Cycling is combined with weights and, hopefully, not eating to much food that will compromise my goals - which is weight loss. I used to be 155 - 160 pounds in my younger years. I currently weigh in at 217 pounds. I have fought diabetes/prediabetes all my life - currently use insulin (watch your sugars). I used to road ride and mountain bike trail ride in my younger years. This exercise bike really helps out - completely quiet, 8 resistance levels, nice comfy seat, and computer tracks trip distance, calories, time, speed, odometer. I am excited to be doing this and achieving goals - don't have to go outside ride in the inclement weather. Better than in 2014 when I was lying in ER, the Doc's telling me I have 10% chance to live. They said if I want to live, I will have to really dig down deep and try. It was really hard lying in that hospital bed and listening to the whispering aspens, when I know I had so many more things I want to do. I'm a few more steps closer to getting to a level I want. Going to take some time, but will get there. I was always really fit, all the way up to my thirties - currently 50yrs old. It feels good to be sweating again, working out and increasing my stamina. Work towards getting back that feeling of being in the 'zone'.
My stationary bike was the best thing I ever did for my diabetes. There are no excuses with a stationary bike, you can ride it in the rain, in the snow, without getting dressed or going anywhere. If you feel ill or tired, you can go slower, if you feel energetic you can go faster.
FYI Three short bouts of cardio immediately after eating are better for glucose control than one longer bout at another time - use the meals you already eat as fuel, and it will also drop your levels for a double win. Different people react differently to exercise, but in my case if I do intervals at near max I can drop my levels from too high to normal in fifteen minutes. It's a nice tool to have!11 -
My husband is a university professor at a school with a pretty big ballroom presence. We went dancing at a campus ballroom dance and killed it over those kids 20 years younger than us. 2 hours of straight dancing and I was not even sore the next day. Woohoo!28

At BodyPump today, in the shoulder track, I did those pressups on my toes for the very first time.
They weren’t good pressups and I was a bit marginal on actually getting my chest to my elbows, but they were my first ever ‘proper’ pressups. And six months ago I could barely even do a pressup against the wall, so I’m feeling pretty good right now 31 -
I noticed that my 21yo daughter left a pair of pajama pants home after she left for college. After about 3 months, I got tired of looking at them just sitting there folded up serving no purpose. So for haha's I tried them on. O-M-G, they fit so guess who just inherited them. FYI, she said she didn't want them anymore.27

I have two! My husband and I finished our first half marathon on Nov 3, which was the first anniversary of our finishing c25k and first running a 5k.
Also, Nov 5 marked one year of living at a normal weight BMI.52 -
This is kind of a mixed one but I'm taking it.
First date tonight, hadnt met before. We got on the subject of sports we used to play. After I listed mine he asked if I'd soccer or softball. When I repeated soccer, he said, Yeah, I was surprised when i heard softball, you dont have that kind of figure.
Naturally I assumed this was some sort of derision and he was calling me fat, but before I could dump my scalding tea in his lap he added that all the girls he knew who played softball were pretty big girls.
Now this was just generally an awkward conversational turn, and I'm not sure that's an accurate generalization of softball players, but I have never ever been considered not a big girl, or a girl with a smaller figure. What the what.23 -
Normal i swim after work when I'm in China for business.
Last night pool was closed for monthly cleaning so I hit the weight room.
I was standing at a cable machine. I have no idea what the proper name is for what I doing. Straight arm reverse pull to work the back of the shoulder toward the spine.
One of the Chinese trainers, that knows how much I swim, came up behind me and pointed out the muscles I was working to a client.
That's the first time I have ever been used as a positive example by a trainer. It also means that all that swimming is toning up my shoulders.
My arms legs and shoulders are leaner than my mid section. Easier to muscle definition there.24
