So after being in denial about regaining I decided yesterday that I was going to have a no-excuses November. So thanks to the time change I have been up earlier than usual. Sunday I went out and helped my husband in the yard before church. Monday was 31 minutes on the stationary bike and today was 30 minutes of strength training in the wellness center. It was with minimal weight as I didn't want to push it the first day but it is a start.30

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
This time last year I took my first steps. Keep at it. You got this!21 -

No Excuses November. I like that.8 -
I mentioned earlier liking so many more pics from our family photo shoot, this is one of the old pics (8 months ago) and the bottom is from the session we just had.59 -
I have an old T-shirt, from about two years ago, which was a requirement for one of the jobs. I ordered the size M, because that's what usually worked best for me. I think I was about 66 kg at the time. Anyway, the shirt arrived and I could barely put it on. It was suffocating me! Whoever made that shirt didn't know anything about sizes.
Fast forward to today, it's freaking cold outside so I need a few extra layers to keep me warm. I took that shirt out of the closet among others, and AGAIN it didn't fit me. I was so pissed at My Fitness Pal page, I thought here I am, doing all this work, religiously counting calories and I'm still struggling with that particular shirt, even though I've lost 5 kg?!
I decided I needed a workout today after all, partly because of my recent mood, but since I'm always sweating - I thought I'd be better off with as less layers as possible, so I took of my cami (undershirt). OH MY GOD!
It made all the difference in the world! The shirt looks so good on me now, and I can wear it and take it off with no struggle at all!12 -
@bear2303 - You are gorgeous! (In both pictures too!)8

This week has been full of surprising NSVs. This morning on my run I finished mile one in under 8 minutes! A new PR for me!24

@bear2303 Those face gains! You've made great progress toward your goals. (:6

Opened the snack cupboard because I was feeling a bit bored and still had some calories to spare. Looked inside, then closed it again because I realised I wasn't actually hungry and eating chocolate or sweets would just bring me further from my goal.30

My train was cancelled yesterday so I went for walk with the 20 minutes spare and into a local mini-supermarket. They had 12 Cadbury's mini-rolls with halloween packaging for £1. A bargain! I picked them up, wandered around the store, went back to the entrance, picked up two bananas and put the mini-rolls back.44

Had to be fitted with compression gloves thanks to the arthritis in my hands.
The OT went off and returned, stating that she'd brought back the smallest size gloves available.
They were still too big but the OT said that they'll have to do and that I should get some benefit from them.21 -
I no longer hate looking at pictures of myself
Also I went shopping this weekend with a couple of really close, really tiny friends who have been really supportive of me through all of this. They encouraged me to try on some of the same sizes of sweaters they were trying on, and they fit! Granted on them they were slightly oversized and on me they were more fitted, but they fit! Made me feel so confident37 -
Day three of no-excuses. It is supposed to get up to 50 here today. so I'm thinking bike ride. but it is supposed to hit 50 sometime this morning and then back down by afternoon. Contemplated a morning ride but a bit too cold and windy. So off to the wellness center. 10 minutes on the recumbent and 20 on the elliptical. It wasn't fun but its done.25

I stepped on scale today and hit my target goal of my high school weight as an active cheerleader head flier (tossed in air stunts) 26 years later in life!!!37

I've been practicing problematic yoga stretches 2-3 times a day, outside of any actual flow, and after a week of all the complaining and prodding, my body finally remembered how to do a sitting forward fold, and I touched my nose to my knees.
In fact, I still hate it, just like when I was in my teens. *nostalgia*
Moving on to being able to do the same in a standing forward fold, which I will also likely hate.
That said, the ability to do my poses correctly in a yoga flow will help me enjoy the flow more without having to pop mentally out of the zone to stare at the instructor/rewind the video and make mental notes about what I could be doing wrong to make the stretch less accessible.

did 150 push-ups yesterday. not all at once, but in sets with minimal rest between. When I started 7 months ago, I collapsed after 2 push-ups!36

So I ran 5.16 miles today. In a 9:55 pace. I looked back at my run history and my first earnest run was April 2nd. I ran 2 miles at a 13:14 pace. My average heart rate was also 10 bpm higher than it was today.
It’s taken consistency and dedication to get here and I am well aware that a 9:55 is by no means blazing fast but I’m proud of how far I’ve come!9 -
Scored a 93 on the USAF PT Test (not in the AF but was held at my gym), which falls under the excellent rating!25
