I had about three that I noticed all within a day of each other!

First, for the first time in about five years, I am able to take my wedding ring off without either tearing apart/bruising my finger, or going through a whole bunch of soap/oil

Second, I had to put my Fitbit band up another notch because it kept slipping down to the bottom of my wrist!

And third, and probably the one I am the most excited about... When standing in front of a mirror, I realized I could actually see my bellybutton without having to lift any fat!

First time wearing these shorts in like 5 years.

First time being confident enough to wear shorts to work EVER.

Your confidence is well justified!

I love C25k! I’ve done it twice, the first time I got to wk 8 and stopped. This past spring I finally restarted 4 years after my first go and made it to the end. Now I go out and run a 5k likes it's no thing ☺️ Keep at it it’s so worth it! 🏃🏽‍♀️

I bought this online and realised when it arrived that if anything it's a bit on the loose side...

I put on a dress that I hadn't worn for three months 'for no real reason'.

The real reason was I knew deep down it would be tight and hard to do up. It's not now.

It's amazing how many clothes have 'broken zippers' until you actually fit into them properly again, and then the zip magically fixes itself...

Recently my doctor told me that my blood sugar was off the charts (15 mmol/l).

I started keto a few weeks ago and started walking again. Yesterday and today my after lunch/dinner blood sugar clocked at 4.2-4.6 mmol/L range which is normal!

In the past, it has never been so low. It was around 9.2 mmol/L when I was on low carb. I am so happy that it is well under control!

The last time my back looked like this was....NEVER! And I’m 48 years young!

This morning I went to an aerial yoga class on impulse! Literally signed up an hour before the class started and rushed out the door to cycle 10K to a studio I’ve never been to. The last time I’ve done aerial yoga was in 2014.

Feels great to feel impulsive, get outside my comfort zone and (somewhat scale related) not worrying about whether my weight would be a problem.

I was able to paint my toes! My belly wasn’t in the way preventing me from reaching them!

Realizing that the new clothes I got not to long ago to fit my new size is starting to fall off without a belt.

Today I finally made Zwift Category B 3.3w/kg

I picked up some athletic capris at the thrift shop. Couldn’t try them on because dressing rooms are closed right now, but I figured since they were a size small and stretchy, they would be nicely snug but not too tight, which is how I like my athletic wear.

Nope, they were too big. They are still wearable but the stomach gaps a bit. Can’t believe a size small of any sort would fit like that.

Decided to check my blood pressure and it’s now in the healthy range of 115/75 compared to 5 months ago at 136/74!

I made it through my first week without any energy drinks. Also, I have the right mind set. I've tried off and on to get back on track over the last year and wasn't able to do it. This time is completely different.

Energy Drinks are so misleading. Many of them now are Zero Calorie, which means they provide the body with zero source of energy nutrients. While the higher than normal caffeine levels may spike alertness for a short while, Energy can only be provided by a calorie. Of which as I stated, the Zero Cal Energy offerings that are so popular, have none. Great job laying off of them!

I had the perfect food day.

Not only did I stick to my allowance, I hit my protein goal and I ate just over 5 portions of fruit and veg (made up of 11 different items of fruit and veg).

I always stick to my calorie allowance, but hitting my protein goal takes real effort on my part, and getting 5 portions of fruit and veg never happens for me. Today I made a concerted effort, I managed to balance my diary, and I enjoyed every mouthful.

For someone who grew up hating vegetables and stopped cooking for a decade for reasons, getting through one perfectly balanced day and actually enjoying it rather than tolerating it feels like a major victory. It gives me hope that I can make this lifestyle stick this time.

I feel really full too!

My mind got around vanity sizing today which means the ENTIRE clothing section was my playground. For someone who doesn't like shopping AT ALL this is equally daunting and interesting.

While my intention was to pick up a simple semi-snug black cotton workout t-shirt, the women's section had nothing I liked in my size. On my way to the men's section, I stopped dead in my tracks...

'Would a child's shirt actually fit you right now?'

Turns out, YES. So I picked up the cutest shirt in the largest girl size (with a neon lightning bolt lol). Bonus: $8 (cheaper than the adult women's sizes).

Still, I traveled over to the men's section and while they didn't have black shirts I liked, there was an orange (#favcolor) t-shirt in 2XL which could have been altered into the cutest - errrm, in my mind - mini-dress. Alas, I don't have a sewing machine and I can't muster the chutzpah to ask my church-going grandmother to make me a dress that'll barely cover my cheeks so back on the rack it went.

So, the mere fact I can wear kids' clothing (within reason) and am thinking about mini-dresses (also, within reason) is today's NSV.
