I feel as if I had a few this week. I hit the gym three times after work, I hit the elliptical had 2 of the days 2.75 miles in 21 minutes and 3.21 miles in 27 min. Did a heavy PT 2 times, and upper body 1 day. I actually got physically involved with my youth soccer teams playing a passing game called rondo, which requires running. Which I'm sure my surgeon would frown upon, being only 8 weeks out of total hip replacement. I am also down one belt loop.
Additionally I take what I call smoke breaks at work, where I go to the facility gym and do some physical activity for 15 minutes. Somedays I am far too busy to get even one in, this week I've done 6 and plan to get 2 more today.
YAY ME!!!
YAY US for all our NSV's!!!
This morning I done my first ever 5km jog! I was hoping to get it done in under 45 minutes. I know I can do 4km in half an hour, but I'm usually pushing myself a bit to get it done. I didn't want to push myself this morning, I just wanted to see how long it would take me to get to 5km. This morning the 4km only took me 31.something minutes, I was pretty stoked with that because I didn't feel like I was pushing myself as much as I usually would to get to that 4km in 30. And the whole 5km took me 37.49 minutes. Smashed my goal of under 45! Feeling very accomplished and proud today.
I went to a Mexican buffet for lunch, and only had ONE PLATE!!!
That's amazing, but I'm also jealous that you have a Mexican buffet nearby. I've never even conceptualized a Mexican buffet before this, and now want to go.

It's a regular Mexican restaurant that does a lunch buffet (and a Sunday brunch).

Brb, calling all Mexican restaurants in my area to see if they do the same thing.
I jogged a half mile yesterday without stopping. I have never been a runner so this is a BFD for me. My next goal is to be able to jog a full mile!
This is awesome, I bet you'll be there in know time at all.
Something that always helped me when I use to run was to not think about what I was doing, I would sing along to my music (in my mind usually).
Good luck, you got this.
Scale moving at less than 1/2 pound per quarter it seems BUT i put on one of my summer skirts finally and it fits so much better than it did last spring at this time so I know my weight lifting work is changing my body.
I went to a mom group at church last night for the first time. My sister knew someone who'd be going, she came to me and said hi. I heard from my sister later that she didn't recognize me and that she said I was "tiny".
Considering the last time she saw me was in high school (I am going back to the church I grew up in, haven't been since high school) and weighed the same I do now....but I guess she has seen pictures from my sister.
There's this one fitted sweater dress that I've kept for perhaps 15 years hoping it would fit someday. Tried it on today to see how far away it is. It FIT! And I hated the style LOL! 15 years and I hated it Into the give away pile it went!
I still have the jeans I wore on my first date with my husband, in 1999. They finally fit again. They are soooo 90s, but they fit! I'm keeping them forever
Me too from 2003..and the top I wore.. neither will fit until I’ve lost another 2 stone, but at least I know the size I was when I met him 😉
I play with my wedding ring set all the time. Terrible nervous habit- swap it from finger to finger, hand to hand, take it off, watch it sparkle, that kind of thing. I bet I burn some serious calories playing with my jewelry every day!
In the past, the set was so tight that I could only get it over pinky of right hand. Was playing with it last night and realized I can get it over right index finger knuckle.
Sounds trivial, but after 30+ years of ring action, that was noticeable.

Well depending on the size of the plate I could do this too.
Congrats, that takes some serious strength.

I use that app and my scale is not so happy! Good work!
