I know it doesn't seem like much but I had spinach today. I also had enough water and I'm proud of both of those things

This is great! I know that sometimes the littlest things can feel like the hugest victories to us, and they are ALL worth sharing!

Thank you!
Today I walked twice as far with the dogs. I used to be exhausted after this particular round and needed to lay down for a bit, but this time when I came back I just sat down behind my laptop to do some work. I'm so happy I'm feeling better already while I just started. Now I'm only hoping to stay motivated and working on keeping going. Have been on a weightloss journey in the past only to be stopped by health... Praying and hoping it won't happen again 🙌

I decided to ‘kick start’ my weight loss for February but eliminating desserts/baked goods and limiting alcohol. This approach really helped me when I started losing weight in August. I’ve gone up on the scale the last month-just eating too much junk (probably residual habits from the holidays). Feeling more in control!

I headed to Rally House after the Super Bowl to get my Chiefs Champion shirt and got a MEDIUM!! Last summer I was a XXL.

I haven't posted before because my weight loss felt insignificant compared to other people's journeys. It's all "vanity weight", but those 15 pounds really affected the way I felt and my confidence levels. Now that I'm into maintenance, these NSVs are all I can focus on, and I achieved two that I'm really happy about:

1. I finally lost inches in my hips which had never felt possible before. I went from 35/26/38 measurements to 35/25/36 measurements which dropped me down a pant size!
2. I progressed from bodyweight squats all the way up to 40lb goblet squats in the first month of the NROL lifting program I'm working on.

Ran 3 miles at a sub 9 min mile pace. 8.48 to be exact. My fastest time EVER. When i first started running in April I was barely able to get through 2 miles at a 14 min mile pace.

I started this endeavor in mid November. Tonight hit 2000 km / 1240 miles on my indoor bike. Also my resting heart rate dropped from 61 to 52. Used to hate cardio when I was "young" and now it's what enables me to reach my goals.

Never felt this fit before.

PS: Netflix and Amazon Prime are a huge help during the training sessions.

Got my body fat tested today and my BF% has gone down 2.5% in the last 4 weeks.

I didn't work out for a few months and I recently went back to the gym to start conditioning for half marathon training. I wasn't sure I'd be able to run for more than a few minutes, but I was still able to run for 30 minutes with no pain. It wasn't fast, but I didn't quit!

I realised I can use the chest strap on my backpack and it’s not even at its most expanded!
