I had to fly on business this past week. It was my first flight in over a year and I'm down a lot of weight since the last air trip. I actually looked forward to not having to get a seatbelt extender (which was an awesome feeling), but the part that I had not considered is that I could use the tray table again! It had been *years* since I last was able to actually use the dang tray table on an airplane. My tummy was always in the way. Used it as much as possible this time. Awesome.32

Actually figuring out my first exercise plan in a while (a combo of the 8fit app premium plan and strength-based circuit training). That'll do me until mid-April or so, then I'll go back into 5x5/StrongLifts aka "my happy place"11

I hadnt gotten round to washing my swimming costume after the other day (bad me!) so had to go wardrobe raiding. I have a swimming costume that’s a size down and in a bra band size smaller than I think I am. It still had tags on. It fit and it was supportive with the built in bra bit so it’s my new best costume!25

Hello all! After having success with MFP in 2016 I experience some issues with mental health and gained back the 30 pounds I lost plus more. This week I am back and have some NSVs to share.
1. I completed week one of C25K
2. I pushed up into a back bend!28 -
Yesterday I managed to do some knee pushups - before, my stomach was too much in the way. It wasn't pretty but I did them. Today I tried the leg press for the first time and did my first 5 reps of a deadlift. I started at 100 pounds so I wouldn't mess myself up figuring out my form.17

I bought my first piece of clothing without an 'X' in the size.45

Hey all! My energy level is soaring! I went to work, and after I got home I did some chores, straightened up my living and dining rooms, cooked a real dinner, and even did the dishes! Normally I'd get home from work and lay on the couch for an hour or two, then microwave a sad unsatisfying dinner before laying on the couch some more, for lack of energy. I feel like I un-aged! This is such a great time, when I "rediscover" all the benefits of a solid, healthful routine!22

Today, I went to a multi church seminar so got to see my old church family whom I haven't seen in 12 years or so. Two said I looked skinny, one said beautiful, and one said I looked younger. Also, I safely avoided the copious amounts of unhealthy snacks during breaks by filling up on hot tea and walking around the facility doing several laps. I did grab a scone but then walking back to my seat thought, I'm so close to goal - is it worth it? So I ended up giving it to my friend.20

Today I finally felt confident enough to just out the tape measure and get some data points for future comparison. I don’t have any recent data to compare it too, but it will be my baseline for the coming months.
I also wore the too-tight jeans I posted about a couple of weeks back. They fit OK now but I can definitely feel them holding me back when walking compared to my regular trousers.12 -
I said no to carry out at work, three days in a row. Which says a lot, because I'm pregnant and let me tell you, I want to eat ALL the things.
The first day, it was a pizza and donut party. These were good donuts, too. From an actual bakery, not gas station or drive through. I politely declined the donut that was offered to me, and accepted one slice of pizza. I had some extra calories to work with so I fit it in without compromising my goals
Second day was Chinese. Ugh, that beef chow mein sounded amazing. And smelled even better. My coworkers all ordered and asked if I wanted to order any when they did, and I declined again.
Third day, this morning, was pizza again. This time I did not take a slice.
The sense of self-empowerment by being able to say no is so much more rewarding than the food itself.28 -
So far this weekend;
Friday evening we went out to a restaurant and I ate a sensible portion, made room for 2 beer, and staying under my calorie budget. I skipped dessert without regret.
Saturday we had friends over for a bbq. I had wine, fair portion of steak, sides and even some snacks (cheese and crackers, potato chips) and still stayed under! Once again, I skipped dessert (an amazing canoli I got a a local Italian bakery) but started my day off this morning by eating that same dessert (as promised and planned) as my breakfast. It was delicious.22 -

I'm surprised to discover today marks my 200 day logging streak.
I can distinctly remember posting here when I reached day #30, and feeling astounded and relieved that I'd stuck with it28 -

I love this line! Reminds me of another line I saw on MFP.: Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels.
I posted that at my desk at work. I'd like to post yours next to it.
I said no to the best fried fish on Friday. My office also is known as a grazing hub. Someone is forever bringing in sugar, carbs, chocolate, so it helps to have encouragement.13 -

New shirt, which is actually baggy, on top of my old shirt.

I put on a jacket (a designer raincoat) that I haven't worn in at least 4 years. So then I went out for a walk even though it's not raining lol24

I ran 4 miles today without stopping! And was just a tick over 10min/mile pace!
I started with a C25K program in July/August 2018 after a cancer scare (colon, and #1 Thing I read was to decrease excess fat around the middle)... made some progress, did a 5K in October. Total hysterectomy the next week, another surgery 6 weeks later. Started over at square one in 2019. Plugged away last year, off and on, but didn’t really start making headway until I joined MFP in September and started losing weight. So much easier to run not carrying those 22 extra pounds!
So now I am signed up for a Sprint Tri and just put myself on a waitlist for an Ultra (8 hours to do as many 10k “laps” as you can, it takes 3 to officially “finish”). I feel like I am having an early “mid life crisis” in the form of pushing my physical limitations!21 -
I'm my new actual (and target size) even when I'm asleep and dreaming.13
