Since I posted this I ran my first 5K... This was last December, and I finished with a pace of 9'12"/mile. :-) Not too bad for an old guy who hadn't run since Freshman PE class 39 years earlier.
That was great pace @durhammfp now where is the dis-agree button??
Hey there Mr. Wobbly! I am grateful for all the supportive çomments you give to me and other new runners.4 -
My most recent NSV - I've been a size Medium for a very long time and so for Christmas, dh bought me 3 size medium clothing items. They were all too big, we returned them all and the smalls fit perfectly. I basically live in tee shirts and leggings and hadn't realized I was a smaller size.30

On my way to the gym today I drove past the McDonalds I would frequently visit on my way from work. I felt no desire to go their and it was a crazy good feeling to drive right past my unhealthy choice on my way to a new healthy one!23

I just now saw that someone clicked "disagree" on this. LOL. You can disagree all you want, it does not change my health status, energy levels, or biomarkers. SMH.

That's utterly amazing--YAY YOU, you winner YOU5 -
Today...
One colleague squealed with glee getting other colleagues to look in my direction, "You're shrinking!!!"
My other colleague looked at me with hot jealously when she said that and said jokingly, "aw... get outta here... " (she loves me and very candid with each other so not trying to offend) Another colleague asked if it was because I was walking still (I usually walk once a week with another colleague to pray over our school)
Another colleague looked admiringly calling me, "Skinny!" I just raised a hallelujah and said thank you.14 -
Today I realized I could detect another bone lurking under my squishy surface. The bump along your side is your pelvis, apparently 😁21

Congrats! I was a medium last year, but the other day I went shopping and bought myself a SMALL top! I wore it to work yesterday and the first person that saw me complimented it. Great start to the morning!15 -
I really didn't want to get up this morning when the alarm went off.
Hit snooze and darn it, the annoying thing went off again just seconds later (or so it seemed).
Killed it and dragged my sorry butt out of bed. Sat on the edge of the bed, thinking, "WHY am I doing this?" but eventually shifted myself into the bathroom and then woke my son up as today is parkrun day.
Got to the run, needed the toilet and had to clean up after the previous occupant (ugh, not nice considering that the previous person was a fully-fledged adult - some people).
Started the run/walk I am doing at the moment. Was annoyed by the testosterone-fulled participants who either scream at you, "fast runner, get over!" when we are already over to one side (what IS that about?) or barge past without any consideration for others. Also irritated by a few people who have no spacial awareness and knocked into me. This irritates me as I often have painful joints and don't need any external forces on them (and it's always elbows that get knocked). Normally I just think, "idiots" and carry on bit I was tired and a more than a little irritable.
We just did our own thing and enjoyed the run overall. Got back and found that our time, although really slow in comparison to times we used to achieve, was pretty good for recent weeks and was the fastest we'd done in several weeks.
Very, very happy with it and it has inspired me to try and beat it next week!31 -
Three different people have commented how much they like my new haircut. Hmmm...Same haircut I’ve always had. Perhaps my face finally looks thinner!22

Finally reached my high school weight again (1st time was before holidays)30 years later after losing the holiday poundage this past month. Hallelujah, praise the Lord!!! Sorry sort of related to scale but excluding numbers.20

What a DAY I had yesterday...spent the day focused on and achieving some goals and DANCING LIKE NOBODY'S LOOKING while doing it. I spent at LEAST two hours of more, cutting the rug something fierce and REALLY getting down honey (jamming to 1970's disco and 1980's dance music)--I super jamming and sweating and cleaning and having an absolute BALL. What's so wonderful is with all my jamming/dancing--I didn't get out of breath not ONE TIME during the duration of my goal accomplishing partying. When I was obese and overweight, I used to dance too, but honey, it used to wear me out, after as little as 10 minutes OR LESS...NO MORE. My endurance is much like it was many, many moons ago, when I was young--YAY!22

Today I wore some pants that did not fit 3 weeks ago.27

I usually gain anywhere between 3 to 5 lbs during that time of the month only women are blessed with... This time I didn't gain anything but maintained my high school weight. Also, I usually have the worst painful cramps the 1st day but now it's just a little discomfort. I guess it's true, eating right does lessen the affect of water retention and intensity of cramps during this special time.15

Went thrift shopping today. Saw a pair of shorts I thought would be fun, and they were half off. But there's no way they would fit.
Vanity sizing and all, I decided to at least try 'em on.
Boom!
When I use my tape measure, I'm actually a little smaller than last time I checked, but still two inches larger than the number in these shorts. Still... feels kind of fun to think I'm that small. I've found some other pants there that fit at size S. I can hardly believe it, because I'm truly a medium-sized guy for the most part. I'm just not as wide as the typical person - seems "only" 30% of American adults aren't overweight or obese.14 -
I am so proud of and happy for everyone here!! Way to go!!
I just did a total of 9 assisted pull ups! I used to be able to do them unassisted, but had regressed. I'd been almost afraid to try and see how many I could do (fear of failure? embarrassing myself? I was alone in my living room, so idk feeling kinda silly now!). I was expecting 1/2. But 9??!?!?! 😲😲😲😲😲 I am very pleased with myself!21 -
30 min straight on the stair mill this morning.16

Resting heart rate started at about 75, at the very beginning of my weight loss. I got it all the way down to 54. It climbed back up to about 68 because I wasn't doing cardio as much. Today its back down to 58.23

got off track yesterday, ate everything in sight but good thing is it is just a 1 day thing, didnt give up, I use to would have just thrown in the towel.23

Had a stressful week. Got some low carb no sugar no flour treats and let myself have a couple of days that were not as healthful as my usual. I feel good that I was able to find some ways to “treat” myself, allow myself to indulge a bit, but still stay within calorie goals, mind my macros, and not go off the rails entirely. This way of life/eating feels sustainable!14

Dug through my closet and did a little fashion show for myself.
Tights I bought that wouldn't even go over my thighs when I bought them now fit.
A blouse I bought that fit normally or a little tight is now hilariously huge.
A shirt I bought when I was 18 (and never had the guts to wear because it's very form fitting) now almost fits. I mean, it fits, but it's still a touch too tight to really look good. Still, it goes on, which it hasn't in years.
Every single dress I own is huge. I think I can take the one in to be tailored, but the rest are a lost cause.
A sweater I used to love fits again.
I can now wear the My Little Pony shirt I got as a joke gift that I actually unironically love but was way too small before.
Progress is being made. Even if it doesn't feel that way always.40 -
For me, watching college football & noshing on tailgate foods has always been my favorite kind of day. This season, I ate a lot of light, lean foods before each game so I had little room left for anything high calorie. And now, I'm sitting here watching LSU-Clemson with some lightly olive oiled grilled portobellos and happy with it. Next year I'll have more self-control & room in my calorie 'budget' to indulge. Today the bellas are fine18

Also a NSV - for watching test matches this year, I stuck to tea & cress sandwiches!11

I've stuck with my New Year's resolutions for 2 weeks now. I don't have cravings anymore and my hunger was controlled sooner than expected. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before I reverse my diabetes again. I've logged everything every day and I am enjoying the lifestyle change and will continue to keep doing it because it is fun and easy.20

I wore my belt for the first time in over a year (physically couldn’t for a LONG time after my hysterectomy, then my pants were snug enough to not need it, eventually I didn’t have any jeans that actually fit... I have practically lived in workout gear or leggings and dresses)... I buckled it on the last notch - as in, I will have to punch more holes as I lose more weight!16
-
Today I put on a pair of black pants that I wore 5 or 6 years ago. They fit me again!21

I’m happy and relieved to say, this girl is officially 5 years CANCER FREE!!! It’s hard for me to even believe that i have endured and continue to endure this in my life and a lot of people do not know this about me but dealing with this has been one of the hardest things iv ever had to go through and has effected me in so many ways i didn’t even realize until now, looking back! I continue to deal with this everyday and probably will the rest of my life regardless and it has taken me a long time to not be down on myself about it. I’m not big into new year resolutions but i think starting this year it’s a good time to not look at myself as weak or unlucky! But instead look at myself as a badass *kitten* that kicked cancers *kitten*! Going through this has humbled me so much to people and life!! Don’t have to have cancer to be dealing with something causing you pain in your life! Whether ur dealing with cancer, another illness, divorce, a loss, depression, addiction or just LIFE. Know that u are not weak and ur not alone! ♥️🙏🏼😭🙌🏼 #NSV

I walk my crazy dog the same route twice a day every day and I’ve noticed I’m walking faster and not dawdling round the path. It’s definitely more of a workout since recommitting to MFP in 2020.21

Husband finally decided to workout with me—had our first lifting session in our garage lifting area he made for me last night. Definitely need to find some exercise work around for his shoulder issues but excited to actually work out together!23
