I've been retaining water (period plus ate something salty yesterday) and was able to avoid eating chips today. Normally I eat chips with my sandwiches at lunch as a harm reduction sort of thing; I don't panic about the diet if I can have my chips. But today I just had the sandwich and never bothered to get the chips. (And I don't eat them except as a side, either.) I won't say I'm done eating them, but the fact that I did this once and it didn't set off a binge or cause me any grief is a Big Deal to me.28

Yesterday I was able to enjoy a very small sliver of birthday cake and not feel like I needed to eat the whole thing. This is a huge win for me!25

Just cleaned out all my size 12 pants! Hello size 10!
***Anyone in or around Aurora CO need pants?***19 -
Yesterday I went for a trail ride, when I got to the park I realized that I had left my key to my bikes lock at the house. So not to waist a 30 minute drive one-way I went for a hike instead. Once on the trail I decide to take a slow jog, before I knew it I did a 5k trail run on rather rugged terrain and in combat style boots, to boot!
Pardon the pun, it was all in good fun.

I fit back in my rain jacket! Very comfortably and much sooner than I expected. I only tried it on today wistfully because we've been having thunderstorms, and I thought, "How much longer until I can zip this up again?" The answer TO MY SURPRISE is "No time at all, and you can fit a sweater under it too." I needed a win today and I GOT IT!31

I was finally able to do an unassisted pullup! Just straight up strength!31

I put on my fitbit today, and my resting heart rate spent some time at 53 BPM, athlete range!

I was pedaling home from a round of disc golf and I happened upon a neighbor I haven't seen in a while. Last time was shortly after pandemic fears started. He was recently put in a high risk category, and he can't even get treatment for now, so he's been holed up.
We chatted a while, and he said I was looking good, that I lost some weight. I mentioned that was in 2018, but he clarified that whatever I'm doing is working because I look more fit. I still see jiggly bits in the mirror, and I'm still just a tiny (tiny) bit heavier (and fatter according to my BIA scale) than I want, but maybe I have been slowly recomping the last 24 months.13 -
Last week I reached my highest weekly (Monday to Sunday) step count since I started my weight loss journey a year ago:
123503 steps, which is 17643 steps on average per day.
And if I count Saturday to Friday, to coincide with my week abroad on holiday, it's up to 139304 steps in total.
And not just any steps, my holiday included 56km/35 miles of hiking.
Hiking is sooo much easier after losing 20kg/44lbs (and counting) and exercising more. I didn't fully grasp how unfit I was before, as it had been a very gradual deterioration over more than 10 years.22 -
Yesterday was a tough day for me. I was so cranky and fed up with work related things I could have easily slid back into my old ways of eating my feelings. Instead, I wrote in my private blog, stuck to my calorie limit and made sure to exercise. I am so proud of myself for not giving in. I just know this time around is going to be different.23

So uhm. On Sunday I did a YouTube video 3000 steps in 26? Minutes. And about⅔ of the way I realized 3000 steps a day used to be my goal and I found it hard to get even that.
Mind you, this was a few years ago. But my health has improved so much, even with the weight gain. I just got my new fitness tracker and I'm hoping to see major differences between the last time I had one and now. My stomach may be fatter but I can do so much more than I could then! Hoping to get more stamina and less fat 💁🏼♀️ I've been working hard for that sooo it should happen16 -

Hiking for sure, and even just walking!
A couple weeks ago, I took three of my lead SCUBA belts that totaled just under 30 pounds, strapped them on, and went for a very short walk. I could feel it immediately in my knees. To think I was carrying that much more of ME around 100% of the time a few years ago. A few months ago, I put on an 8-pound belt and went for a longer walk. My knees even felt that much extra weight.
Next time you see one of these, pick it up and schlep it around for a while. You will thank yourself that you don't have to!

I just checked my resting heart rate and it's averaging around sixty beats per minute. It's a great thing for me and is on the low end of healthy range, edging toward athlete territory.12

Completed a first time 20 mile bike ride. I couldn't have done this when I was heavier.

Fit into skinny jeans I didn't expect to fit me until fall, 1 size smaller!22

Today a girl I work with brought peanut butter cornflake cookies. It was sooo good! But I was perfectly content having just 1 cookie. Typically I would have eaten quite a few more so I feel like that was progress!28

I have a pair of non stretchy shorts with a pockets and a drawstring. Last year the pockets were a bit stretched whenever I wore them, since it was a super tight fit. Yesterday I realised that I will soon have to retire them - the drawstring can’t be tightened much more due to the excessive bunching of fabric!!21

During my workout I had a teenager come up and say, "You are awesome. You're here 3 or 4 days a week and you workout HARD while you're here. I hope I'm just like you when I'm your age". I smiled and told him, "Well you'll find out in about 40 years".28

This is a bit of a scale related NSV, but here goes: I have been a bit frustrated because I can't seem to get below 82 kg (181 lbs). But I then looked at my average weight over May, June and July and saw 87.15 kg, 85.31 kg, 83.14 kg. That made me feel way better!
