My legs kept sinking, and he said: "you runners never have enough fat to float!" My swimming sucks, but I'm not fat, so I have that going for me...
Triathlete here, Hint: Consciously press your chest down when you swim and your legs WILL come up. Imagine it like you are swimming downhill, keep your head an inch or two further in than you think.

But the nsv is that I listened to my body this morning when it was telling me it needed a bit longer to sleep and I don't feel one little bit guilty or like I have messed up and now I'm going to fall off the wagon completely. Nope, I know it was a needed rest morning and that tomorrow morning I'll be right back into it.
Good for you, rest is important too, well done for listening to your body
Thank you, it's something I've struggled with because in the past if I missed one day, then it was an excuse to go the rest of that week before kicking off again, and usually by the beginning of the next week I'd find some other excuse. This morning I got up and went for my walk/jog again, no need to worry about falling off the wagon this time8 -
Didn't lose any weight today but I compared my photo from today to my first one on Feb 25 and I saw a very evident change already. Being sober has helped my skin return to normal and I look and feel a lot healthier. Also, I noticed a big change in my stomach. It is shrinking a lot in all areas. I haven't felt much different looking at myself in the mirror but seeing these pictures definitely confirms that my body is changing.20

I made vegetable soup for the first time ever!
I'm sick, and wanted something warm and soothing for a sore throat, and was actually craving veggie soup! That's definitely new for me.19 -
That soup looks like a warm hug from my Grandma.... mmmmmm.5

White coat syndrome?,hmm I just looked it up. 56 is impressive. Your heart is happy😊9 -
It's teachers like you who restore my faith in humanity. Helping him will steer the course of his life in such a positive way. I thank you with all my heart 💗💗💗ecmorgan101 wrote: »I'm a high school teacher. A few weeks ago at the gym I saw one of my students. He's a nice enough fellow, but struggles - well, I can't say that because he's done nothing - academically. In my class, he'd never submitted an assignment.
We start running into each other at the gym and next thing you know, we're working out together. Two weeks ago, while spotting each other, I mention casually that if he wants help with his school work, I'll tutor him, but only if he will work as hard in tutoring as he does in the weight room.
He has taken me up on it and has come to my classroom 11 consecutive days for tutoring. And he's working at it. Report from his other teachers is they are beginning too see a real turn around in him.
Too early to tell if it will stick but I feel I'm on the verge of a significant non-scale victory BECAUSE of my efforts to live a healthier life.
Related, just today, he mentioned to another kid that we work out together in the gym. The kid said, and I quote, "That explains why Mr. Morgan is looking skinnier."
Two NSVs in one day!

My resting heart rate now frequently drops below 40 beats per minute at night. Lowest has been 38 beats.
During the day at rest rarely goes above 55.
Very happy that my body is getting fitter even if the number in the damn scales isn’t moving.15 -

I would of completed my first 10k run today, but the treadmill cut out at 1 hour. I’d managed 9.2k, I think it would have taken me another 3 or so minutes to complete. I’ll class it as a win, after all it’s the furthest I’ve ever managed to go and this is my 3rd attempt at getting fit and healthy.22

You might want to look up bradycardia heart rate.3 -
I’ve lost 3.3 points from
My BMI this year 👍22 -
Two of the kick *kitten* fit yoga guys did pilates today, cornered me afterwards and asked how many years I’d been doing it. They said I’d made them look like they had no core. I started around Christmas. I walked out in a cloud of WOOT!24

I went to the thrift store this week and picked up a pair of jeans because a friend had told me that the jeans I was wearing -- smallest I owned, way too small for years -- were super baggy at the behind and that it was time to make a change. The new jeans are a Size 8. It's my first time in single digit jeans sizes in years.
I am closing on a BMI that's "Normal" (i.e., not overweight)!

This is so amazing and wonderful. No matter what happens with this young man's journey...you planted a seed that will not be uprooted, IMO. Just such a great post all around!8 -

He was so happy “I’m glad you like getting your picture taken now.” Years of our relationship with no pictures because I was so ashamed of how big I was. Now I’m like “hold on let me just put on a little lipstick”. Oh yeah, I wear lipstick again and spend more time with my hair and make up. Lol and keep my nails done, I look so damn good I just want to gussy up!
Honey I know thats right.
^^ this is one of my favorite NSVs on here!!
It feels good that others can relate!!

My wife is an ER doc so all good.
I’m actually very fit and have always maintained that despite weight going up and down.
