I finally realized after hitting maintenance I could eat a little more. I could even gain a few pounds. I don't have to go from one extreme to the other. Eat a bit more and enjoy. Wow I finally got there.28

So proud of myself. I tried to get breakfast at my hotel (egg white wrap) but the line was too long. Then I tried to get an egg white piadini at Starbucks but the line was too long. So I ended up at McDonalds and got a sausage egg mcmuffin and hash browns. I looked it up and couldn't believe how many calories!! 600!! but my NSV is that I only ate half of it and saved the rest for tomorrow. Definitely an impressive step.18

Trying to get back into healthier eating habits (again, lol) . I resisted the donuts at the office this week and instead ate my breakfast I brought. Now to get my kiester back to the gym! My weekends have been active though, so there's that! (Snowshoing, swimming, heavy cleaning).16

I pulled out the "too small" jeans from under my bed and am wearing them to work today because they fit perfect.22

I noticed a reflection of my arms in the window and my little black heart swelled with unthinkable pride at my bis, tris and delts.20

Had someone at work acknowledge my weight loss! 4th person in the last month!23

I can wrap my towel around me, and it overlaps over my stomach! 2 months ago, my tummy was too big to fit under the towel.

When my alarm first went off this morning I checked the radar and it looked like there was going to be some rain in about 15-30 minutes. I'm usually prone to colds and flues so I try to stay out of the rain for prolonged periods. Reset my alarm for quarter past 5 (figured in 45 minutes the rain would have passed since it was only a small amount coming over us). Got up at 5:15 and my partner informed me it was spitting outside. Considered going back to bed and trying again tonight, then I realised I have bootcamp (weather permitting) and firies training so unless I wanted to be out until 10pm, I either had to brave the rain or skip it all together. I chose to brave the rain. It was that very light misty stuff so didn't affect me too much. As of this morning I am now up to 30 minutes of jogging every morning. I was alternating the final run of c25k with week 8 (days 1 and 2 were 28 minutes of jogging) but tomorrow is the final day of my repeat of week 8, which is a 30 minute jog as well. Pretty excited that I'm turning into the kind of person who jogs for half an hour every morning, for me, this is a big deal 😁23

Cooked 3 meals at home today... really cooked, using stove and oven, not just reheating prepared meals in microwave, which was my goto in the past. (I'm looking at you, frozen burritos...)
Also had fresh fruits and veggies at every meal.
Amazing how much satisfying food I can fit in when I cook my own meals and focus on a variety of fresh food!20 -
Yesterday, I played on the flying fox at the park with my kids. Last time I used it, I was overweight.
This time, at a healthy weight, I felt like I was flying, and I thoroughly enjoyed the rush.9 -
Both an nsv and a frustration, going shopping yesterday I was really noticing where I have looser skin or how my weight gain/loss has affected my legs, arms, etc. I'm only 25 and lost weight over a couple of years so hopefully with weight training and more time it will be minimized, feels good to see progress, but it's a frustration as well.19

Yep, you’re a runner now!
You may end up being pleasantly surprised about your immune system too - I used to get sick several times a year, and since becoming a runner I’ve only gotten one cold in two years. I honestly think getting out there in all kinds of weather is better for me than staying inside and hiding from weather used to be. As my grandma used to say, “You’re not made of sugar, you won’t melt!”11 -
I really wanted to buy (the most massive, carb filled) lunch today but I compromised on making a healthy lunch but bringing a small chocolate bar to perk myself up this morning. I'm pleased I recognised that being lazy this morning would make the rest of the day fall apart! I'm also pleased that it's only one chocolate bar, when I have a family sized pack of them taunting me in the cupboard. Baby steps.15

Was having a stressful day yesterday and getting a little irritated with DH over little things. He told me I needed to go for a run to clear my head. I realized he was right. Running is my calming, peaceful place. Who would have thought 2 years ago and minus 50+ extra pounds, I would turn to running instead of a box of cookies for stress relief?
Saturday is my 1 year anniversary of my first organized 5k run. I am celebrating by running the same event but completing a 10k. Also have a half marathon scheduled this year. Feeling good for 60 years old.

I used to have a huge dent in my right butt cheek, about the size of a sardine can and twice as deep. It could be seen through whatever I wore and I detested that part of my body the most.
This morning I realized that the butt dent is gone! It's merely a little dimple now, and a kinda cute dimple at that. ☺33 -
The closer I get to my goal, I've realized I'm more likely to be like, "this is good enough! what's a few more lbs!" and go over my cal allowance. Yesterday I ate a lot of high-cal junk at work, but went for a couple of short walks, and was actually shocked at the end of the day to find out I made it all work and had a few extra calories to spare! It's nice to be reminded you don't have to give up everything you like to make this work.19

Thursday is deadlift day. Last Thursday I was weak as a kitten - could only pull a couple of singles at 225. I was dreading today - wasn't sure what I could pull, but I was determined to try. Pulled 3 sets of 5 at 225. Happy dance!18

Oh, also I'm wearing a blazer today that hasn't buttoned in years. I don't generally button it (looks better open, IMO), but I COULD.20

It's so great that DH recognizes what's going on with you and even better that you accept the suggestion instead of telling him to stuff it.9
