Last Thursday I gained my final illusive walking Garmin badge when I took a 36km walk and took 56K steps in one day. Next up 10x the 60 day badge in a row for 10k steps (meaning 600days of 10k steps a day)30

Turns out, it's the 60 day mark I'm close to reaching, not 50 - yay!
My cat is dedicated to the idea that she should put her butt in my face at every opportunity. This morning just before the alarm went off, she was walking on me as usual and trod upon my collar bone. My first thought was, "Ow, that's a bone". My second thought was, "WOOO HOOOO, I have bones!!!!". I knew you folks would understand

Bought my FIRST EVER pair of skinny jeans. My legs have always been so large that skinny jeans looked ridiculous (if I could even get them on), so I always opted for straight leg instead. But on a whim the other day I tried on some skinnies in size 12 and they looked GOOD! I was shocked. It took over a year of hard work for this!38

My cat's old favorite place to knead was my collar. She's since shifted down because there's no more fat there anymore!23 -

Hey me too! Though I think the real victory was being brave enough to wear them lol
Congratulations, that’s a lot of hard work paying off!

I guess this is a NSV of the "yes, a successful post-op rehab type". A woman engaged me in conversation when I got into the hot tub today. The chat eventually got around the reasons why we were there and trying to get fit. As I described my situation she told me she couldn't tell I had had any hip surgeries by the way I walked and got into the tub [it is set up in a way that it is hard not to watch people as they get in or out]. That was such a kind thing to hear and SO validating of the effort I've put in the last few months to make my hip replacements good. It made me feel good too!38

Did an honest to God pull-up at the gym today! Yeah!56

I tried on a pair of smaller jeans and they fit!!! I was shocked and walking on air for the rest of the day.28

Today is check-in day for an annual local event. Last year, I wore an XXL T-shirt. Today, I’m wearing an S and it’s too big. The body dysmorphia is getting better, but I’m still having a hard time wrapping my head around it. My eyes still don’t see it.
And may I say, TUCKED IN?!!! I haven’t tucked in shirts since the 80’s. Golly!40 -
after 10 years of obesity, I can at last wear the seat belt correctly, instead of sticking it under my arm so it doesn't rub against my neck.29

My fun NSV was being able to fully wrap towel around body, tuck it and have it stay up. It's Habit to do, but with the rapid weight gain I experienced, only about two inches of towel would reach to be tucked...as soon as I'd take a couple of steps, towel would fall off.
Was walking down the hall recently, facing a mirror, when it hit me towel was fully wrapped and in place!

Today I REALLY didn't feel like eating the lunch I packed and brought to work... It's the same thing I've been eating all week, so no surprise there! I was tempted to run next door to the cafeteria or down the street to Wendy's for a chicken sandwich. I RESISTED and ate the lunch I brought
Now, I am just as full and satisfied as I would have been after eating a chicken sandwich, but no with regrets!! 25 -
I got my rings off for the first time in like 1.5 years!!!! YESSSS!21

Great job! Its so funny how much of a mental game it is to eat/not eat what we want! The hunger itself can be satisfied by just about anything but the mental hurdles are the tough ones!3 -
I've lost enough weight that my fat is squishier and when I hold my arms out it dangles down and moves at a different rate than the rest of my arm. I'm amused and can't stop poking and squishing it.17

YES! I can finally wrap a normal sized bath towel around and tuck it too! It's crazy how little things like this are so motivating 10 -

I just tried this - how cool!4 -
Currently looking into which is cheaper. Having my wedding ring resized or getting a new ring. It’s soon going to start slipping right off my finger.12

This morning I ran 3 miles for the first time since 2013. And it was awesome!
My plan was to run 30 minutes...usually this equals about 2.4 miles or so because I am slow AF. But the temperature was so cool today that I pushed myself to add 5 minutes. Then, I was so close to 3 miles, I just went for it.
I finished 3 miles in 36 minutes. And I can’t wait until Monday so I can do it again. 🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️36
