I've been enjoying progressing at climbing. Six months ago, I was shot after 35 minutes of climbing V0s. Now I have 2.5 hour sessions, getting V3s and the odd V4, and I still want to continue at the end.
I have also been practicing how many push ups I can do after an exhalation without breathing in. I am up to 40 on these.14 -

Had an annual checkup yesterday.
Dr. was amazed at my 11lbs loss and how great I looked. She kept repeating "You're looking amazing for a 46 yrs old!!"
I'll take that!21 -

They did not fit. I couldn't even get them over my thighs.
Instead of crying and hating myself for it, I shrugged it off. Eh. They're just pants.
And, we were clothes shopping the other day. I grabbed the size I wore in high school at this same exact weight, and tried them on. Too small. Surprisingly, I was okay again. I just went up a size without a second thought.
Pant sizes are ridiculous now. A size 12 in one brand fits like a size 8 in another brand. Never let your clothing size determine your success. See this article.

I was ready to go out for a ride by myself today, for the first time since being knocked off my bike.
My lovely son refused to let me go alone, even though I was keen to. Whilst I was happy for him to go with me, I was also concerned about his apparent anxiety about me cycling alone.
Tomorrow, my son is in college all day so I will go out alone, to prove that I can manage by myself.
That aside, I did NOT stop at every road we had to cross, unlike the last time when I stopped at every road, regardless of whether or not we needed to.
Making progress!37 -

My thought exactly! WOW!2 -
Yesterday I set some personal exercise records. I got through an expert-level hike. Towards the end I recognized the symptoms of low blood sugar/electolytes and dehydration and was able to stop, eat/drink, then finish. I truly wasn't sure if I'd make it up the mile-long rocky incline (we took a detour and the change in terrain was unexpected) but here I am, no rescue needed. And I can still function.
Yesterday I had an almost 1000 Calorie deficit. Today I get to eat some of that back. Yay!26 -
fitting into jeans that I haven't been able to wear in 16 years and no stomach hanging over them either. I'm glad I saved all my old jeans!25

I watched the Leafs hockey game last night without having a beer!42

I had a shoulder surgery yesterday and was required to fill in an extensive medical questionnaire. When the anaesthetist came for his pre-op visit he gestured down the length of the form and all the ticks in the ‘No’ columns, and said ‘So nice to see this, you obviously keep yourself fit and healthy, we don’t see this often!’
I’m 58 and just squeezed under the overweight into normal BMI threshold last week. (Although I’m still a fair way from goal) so that was a nice little boost to my resolve which will hopefully push me through my recovery on close to maintenance level for healing and back to losing once I’m fixed up!
I was dreading being derailed by sensible decisions for the recuperating period.29 -
Historically my wife has very low blood pressure and mine has been high for years. My HIGI BP from Saturday was the same as hers when she went to the doctor yesterday (high for her, low for me).19

I'm getting my waist back!!20

I visited and walked a bit around my former home area yesterday and all that bothered me was being a little sweaty because of the unusual October heat and not having a hand towel with me 😊16

Had a dr's appointment yesterday and he went over some blood work I had done before the summer. All the tests were great. According to him the average 60 year old female has a 12% chance of having cardiac issues. My numbers say I have a 3% chance. After I got home I was annoyed because I didn't ask how to get it to 0%, but maybe its just my age? Or maybe its the last 10 pounds that I struggle with all the time? Anyway, I have worked very hard to lose weight and put in the hours of exercise so it was rewarding to hear this information.26

I walked away from a jar of salted caramel sauce at the grocery store today. That's my favorite flavor in the world but it's not how I want to spend my calories. A major victory for me. 😀28

I am getting through a pretty stressful couple weeks at work, but have been keeping at maintenance or below. I can't say I haven't eaten for comfort, but I have made good choices and stayed within my calorie limit.30

I found a jeans at the op-shop that is cut exactly to my body ! What a wonderful find :-)14

I used to dread dress shopping because in the past, unless it was very carefully cut everything made my stomach poke out and look huge. Well this weekend I finally went dress shopping because all the ones I have are too big (had waited way too long), and had the most amazing experience: had to go down to the size I used to wear in college, and everything looked good - even a sheath dress! I bought one and wore it to work this week and got like 4 compliments. Huge confidence boost :-)28
