I hate shopping!! But... for the first time in years I was forced to go because my belt was out of holes and my clothes were literally falling off me. 🤣 So with my cart over-loaded as usual ('normally' I'd have to try a dozen items to find one that fit), I entered the dreaded hall of mirrors. OMG, I was down two sizes and everything fit or was too BIG!! Someday when I figure out how to load pictures on MFP, I'll share my success. Thanks everyone for this awesome thread that keeps me so inspired!! We all rock. 🤗25

I WILLINGLY wore a dress for the first time in forever, to a wedding this weekend. And I actually felt cute, rather than out of place and wanting to cover up or go hide23

I Started Strong curves this last week and MY GLUTES ARE FINALLY ACTIVATING.
I’m familiar with lifting, I’ve worked out with fitness blender (fb) for several years, but after this 3rd baby (he’s 1yr) I could tell I needed to follow along with something that could help increase my glute strength but that I could do at my own pace. I LOVE fb. But when there is a video it’s very distracting to follow along with it and have to press pause constantly b/c my particular body weaknesses this time around mean I need to move slow with low weight to keep form. Isn’t it funny how we change over time? Years ago I NEEDED fb videos t keep me motivated to finish all the way through a workout! Kelli and Daniel are still going! I must keep up! Ha!
All that to say, I’m SO pleased that I can feel them activating, I’m lifting heavier each day (moving slow and feeling things out) and my low back isn’t angry at me! What a successful adventure in slowing down to assess the problem + finding a solution that works!
I’m clinging to this win right now as I’m in the beginning stages of weaning the baby + tracking again. I’ve been pregnant/nursing/pregnant/nursing for 4yrs and when my calories drop too low (below 2400) the milk dries up.
I’m soooooo ready to finally be able to drop this extra fluff!!12 -

This! So much this!
I actually wore a dress to the races on Saturday. I felt way out of my comfort zone, especially when it came time to dance, I'm a jeans and shirt girl, but my sister and mother convinced me to wear a dress. I had to borrow one off Mum coz my couple that I own are too big now. I actually got a lot of compliments and was told I should wear dresses more often.

Level 5.5 on the beep test at bootcamp today! My previous pb was 2.7 in February last year, the intstructor DID say last week that my cardio fitness has improved out of sight in the last 8 months or so, I guess he was right! 😁😁😁
Also, 5 minutes 33 seconds on the kilometre warm up jog- another pb! 😁13 -
I actually hit my calorie targets through a three-day weekend!31

Great accomplishment! My most recent blood pressure check was also a happy one since I went from a high of 138/86 last May to 112/68. Amazing what paying closer attention to your diet and increasing exercise can do!8 -
The shirt I bought on sale two months ago that was too small, but I thought would fit by summer, fits and I wore it to work today! The shirt is a medium, the pants are 14s. One year ago my shirt would have been an extra large, the pants 18s. I'm sure the novelty of these things will lessen but right now I'm still kind of amazed.23

I just feel thin today. I looked in the mirror and didn't feel like anything needed "fixing" related to my weight.36

It may not be that way everyday so I'm appreciating it while I have it and as I continue to work towards my goal, will probably have more days like it. I have been admiring my wrists especially today.8 -
NSV: I've had a few NSVs lately, but I think the one that resonates most with me is the fact that despite random weight gain and a weird stall, I stuck with what I knew. I didn't get (too) depressed or sad. I was confused, yes, but I knew what I was doing should work and the random weight increase ended up getting explained later, but it took a month to wind down, almost. I took a couple weeks off of weighing (which for me is a big deal since I like numbers, but I also realize that data is not > mental health and it was a weak mental health month for me).
I'm not where I thought I would be for my big trip, but I feel better about not trying to push it now, too. I am making progress, and that is ultimately what matters. So that is my NSV: that no matter what, I know what to do and I know that even when it seems impossible, I can execute against what I've learned throughout this entire journey.20 -

You got this. Your downward trend has been amazing and you can enjoy your trip safe in the knowledge you can get back to your normal routine afterwards. Enjoy!4
