Great job 👍
I’m going overseas in April, that is my goal!11 -
I bought, and am currently wearing, bright orange/coral snakeskin print workout leggings. All of my workout pants are black or gray, with the brightest being blue. Wearing anything this bright, no less on my legs, is way outside my normal instinct to wear black to hide lumps and bumps.38

Made day 2 of Couch 2 5k at the gym. The running for 1 minute part is going so much easier then I expected. This time last year running (well, jogging) for 1 minute would have had me gasping for breath 30 seconds in. Now at the end of the minute I'm thinking "oh it's over?" So I must have improved my cardiovascular health over last year. YAY... But I did not expect to be this sore... It took 2 days to recover from day 1. I expect about the same from day 2. With all the things I did to improve my health last year, I apparently overlooked running. LOL.24

I have finally reached the point where a work out is invigorating not exhausting!36

I really enjoyed jogging while visiting family in Texas. The mild weather and low altitude combined with my slimmer body meant I could easily jog for 30 minutes and kept increasing my pace. It also felt like a milestone to not “force” myself to jog. I really wanted to do it because it felt so good and it helped me get time to myself.
So yesterday I was not as excited to go jogging back at home: 40 degrees Fahrenheit, 5,000 feet altitude. But I still managed to keep almost the same pace for the first mile, and I still managed to jog for almost 30 minutes. More importantly, it STILL felt fantastic!32 -

Yes! Me too. What was killing me two months ago now feels like a warm up.

Received a belated Christmas gift delivery from my office landlord. Another 1-lb. box of See's candies. Historically, I've always had a race to see how fast I could "destroy" and empty the box. This year I gave it to my office assistant and told her to enjoy. I'm being 100 percent disciplined and have made the decision, even though I know I could eat some, that I'm not eating any cakes, cookies, candies, chocolate, ice cream, crackers or chips.
What's the old TV commercial for Lay's Potato Chips, "Bet you can't eat just one."18 -
My blood pressure this morning at the doctor's office was 112/70 - despite my having bronchitis. The doctor I saw, who is not my normal GP, also did the, "so - you're really healthy aren't you?" By which she didn't just mean weight (which was nice).25

So, because I'm just a little bit sad, I decided, for my own geeky interest and amusement, to see how many miles I'd tracked last year and how many steps I'd taken over the course of 2018.
Total distance cycled: 4,305.04 miles
Total distance run: 429.82 miles
Total distance walked: 1,943.42 miles
Overall total distance (walked, run, cycled): 6,678.28 miles (way more than my car has travelled at 3500 miles for the year!)
Total number of steps taken (all steps, including above): 5,862,092 (if I'd done another 378 a day, I'd have hit 6,000,000).
Well, I was mildly impressed . . .

Logged all week this week! With fitbit adjusting for calories I've only gone over once, but I'm not sure how accurate that is.
Anyone else who's lost a lot of weight get stuck at like 30 lbs to go?? I've been logging and exercising but just can't seem to keep myself motivated...13 -
Today marks 5 year of contineus logging. It does not say so on my profile as this profile is new here. Over the years I have used different logging tools but returned to MFP as, despite its many flaws, it works best for the way I like to work32

On new years eve I went climbing for the first time in probably about 9 months (it tends to be something we do with a certain group of friends) and not only was my climbing easier (not on my hands though) but afterwards we went up to the gym area and messed around on that for a bit. I was able to do a couple of pull ups, some leg lifts and a couple of (all be it fairly shallow) triceps dips. None of which I was able to do last time we went.
Turns out that when you have less mass to move, it's easier to move. Who knew.28 -

I tried C25K about 1.5 years ago and gave up after a couple weeks. It seemed so hard. I lost ~40lbs with a healthy diet and started running 3 months ago. BOOM, I ran 12km straight last weekend. I am now 48lbs down and absolutely amazed at how much easier it is to run with less mass to move.36 -
oh and I find that now I am losing weight to run, not running to lose weight! A big difference in my books

This week my average daily steps was 10070 steps /day.
I started logging in September and in October I averaged 3000 steps per day.32 -
This morning while making my oatmeal, I realized that quite a few of the Lindt Lindor chocolate truffles I bought for Christmas/New Years treats (a bag of mixed flavors, and a bag of the seasonal peppermint cookie ones), and the last bit of a bag of old-school Taco Doritos (one of my kryptonite foods) that I bought before that, are still hanging out in my kitchen.
The Doritos have been spread out in fairly sensible portions (mostly 1oz; I think 2oz one time), and - after the somewhat more indulgent holiday-celebration-fest - the truffles are coming out of the bag one or two at a time when I have ample calories left, and sensible nutrition already checked off.
Maybe (after 3+ years maintenance), normal eating is becoming more normal.40
