Got my kayak up on top of my van, then down and up again for my first solo kayak trip at a local lake. It was a lovely, peaceful morning—I remember how much fun I love being out early on the water!20

So inspiring! I'm going to have to get my guide boat out! Thanks!4 -
I ran week 4 of C25K successfully. It's the one with 3 and 5 minute runs. My breathing was good. And I liked every second of it.

That's a tough week!! Great job!!4 -
I'm taking a week away from weightlifting, but still doing cardio everyday....I did 4 miles on the elliptical this morning, 4 miles of rolling hills (resistances & slopes ranging from 3 to 11). My time was 40 minutes and 5 minute cool down.14

There's fat in your eyeball, socket, around the muscles that control your focus. It's a legitimate side effect of weight loss that it changes your eyesight. Make sure you get yours looked at so you don't make your eyes worse by using the wrong prescription long term.
Close enough to being correct in explanation to be definitely be correct in conclusion. Heed the advice and get reexamined if you (anyone reading) ever notice vision changes with weight loss.
That's incredibly interesting... I wore reading glasses when I was younger. Then didn't. Now I do again. I put it down to being over 50... maybe it's down to be (quite a bit) lighter?2 -
My latest NSV:
I enjoy taking my smoke breaks in the on base gym facility in our building. My SB’s are 15-20 minute workouts with a mix of cardio, calisthenics and/or weights. I’ve only recently started pushing myself again after a surgery, so this was a test for myself. I’d grade myself a B+
I was rather proud of my 19 minutes SB yesterday afternoon.
Three rounds/sets each.
3 minutes on the bag.
40 hammer curls w/25 pound DB’s
20 upright rows W/25 pound DB’s
15 burpees
The total of 45 burpee’s is what I am most proud of and the fact that the only break I took was moving from one station to the next. The third round on the bag my arms felt like lead and the last few burpee’s on the third set were a B. But I got it done. YAY ME!
An added NSV is that my waistline is down 1.5 inches in the last 3 weeks.

I had to buy all new clothes because my old ones were falling off. I didn't have to go to that dark section in the back of the store with the bad cuts and bad patterns, I was able to get them off the 'normal' rack.22

This is awesome!! How inspiring and what a creative use of your valuable time!!2 -
We had 2 close friend or family weddings last weekend + festivities leading up to said weddings & hosting out of town guests for the grooms side. (My husbands baby sister was married on Sunday!)
1. I wore 2 different dresses and felt great in both of them.
2. My husband and I fulfilled various “behind the scenes” roles for both weddings and there were a few times I had to get somewhere real quick-like. I jogged at these times, in a dress, and I felt so incredibly lighting my feet + I wasn’t winded!!
3. I’m down at my parents house with the kids (3, 5& under) and they have a bar + plates. I can outlift my power blocks so lifting heavy today was INCREDIBLE9 -

My wedding band fits for the first time in over 45 years.
I stopped wearing it because I was working on high voltage equipment, then I got too fat to wear it so it just sat in the box.
My wife an I are both happy about it fitting.
I can also wrap my fingers around my wrist, with room to spare.16 -
It was 30 minutes ago. I was at the grocery to get 1 thing I needed before tomorrow, as well as the other things on the family's list of needs. I'm the schlep who goes and gets.
I did not get any of the stuff that I often do by telling myself "I can handle this within my plan."
It's a small accomplishment, and expires the next time I go to the grocery. Still, it's here. It's now. I'm proud.

My front, sides and backyard gardens and everywhere around the house is completely WEED FREE and looks absolutely gorgeous! Weeding is hard work and N.E.A.T. exercising. It could have been so much easier to weed whack outside and/or put weed killer on the weeds...pulling all the millions (okay, I'm exaggerating about there being a million weeds, let's say 500,000
weeds all around the house) BY HAND, is so so old school and makes me feel like a 1st class champion. No longer doing/thinking/being an "all or nothing" type is so freeing. Little by little, step by step, slow and steady will slowly but surely win the race. Making myself do the right thing in every area of my life is totally life changing. Taking the bull by the horns and doing what MUST/NEEDS to be done (AND WITH JOY THAT I DON'T HAVE TO...I GET TO DO THESE THING) in eating, drinking, exercising and THINKING is hard, but so not impossible. Such an NSV...such a "good thing"--BOOM! 8 -
Someone referred to me as “the lean woman”.
Who, me?!
That actually made me feel thinner!!!!!!17 -
Made it to “regular” status in the weight room—a lovely gentleman Ive chatted with before stopped me today to say he was worried about me bc he hasn’t seen me lately. My kids are in camp this week so I’ve been enjoying some solo rock climbing and kayaking, so I haven’t been to the gym at my normal time14

Great job! BTW, I told myself today when my oh so generous partner offered me a chocolate chip cookie from the bakery that it's 'not my cookie'! Thanks for that one.🤗4 -

My fiancee bought me a tank top for Christmas two years ago, and it was significantly too small on me. Pulled it out because laundry day, and it's actually kinda loose now.

I injured my knee and back almost 6 weeks ago. I've been feeling kind of frumpy since I haven't been able to do anything at the gym. I was going 3-4 times a week and was really seeing results. Just when I was starting to get depressed, not one, not two, but three of my co-workers gave me compliments on how wonderful I look today. So I guess it's all in my head.18

I completed day 2, week 7 of my couch-to-5K program today and felt strong and good. I finished the 3 miles in 40 minutes, which is a personal best for me. Go me!21
