I don't know how much of a "victory" it really is, but the pants I wore to work today are getting awfully loose.
(Just in the thighs, though! I don't know why so many plus-size women's trousers are like...almost jodhpur-shaped.)14 -
I turned around instead of going the long way around. That might not sound like a victory, but I have a tendency to push too hard too soon when I am recovering from anything. Today, I was able to say "enough."18

Me goofing around after work and still being able to breakdance at 57 years old.17

I tried on a skirt that I am obsessed with and it fit! I still want to lose 5 or 10 more so it's super comfortable but the best part of this story is that I tried it on while video chatting with my mother and she commented about my waistline! More that I actually have one than anything but any good positive comment about my weight from her makes me super happy!18

Genuine NSV... I've accepted a new job offer and am so excited.
Why am I posting that as a victory HERE? Because the interview was yesterday, which was also the first day I weighed in at "normal" BMI for years. Was it the confidence from crashing through that barrier? Was it simply coincidence? I don't know, but I do know that the last time I had a big promotion at work was the last time I was at this weight...31 -
I have the energy to do some cleaning every day and I am enjoying that I can count it as burned calories. Also my personal care has improved. I've been in a good mood today.18

I chose a protein bar and clementines for afternoon snack over Cadbury mini eggs.23
-
I bought two pairs of pants from the "regular" women's section (not plus-sized), and I managed to get both of them on! Still a little snug, but they'll fit like a glove in no time at all.25

My back didn't hurt in the area where I have the spinal twist until 9 pm, and I got up at 7 am and spent most of the day on my feet doing stuff and also worked out.
I used to only be able to stand 15 minutes before it hurt too much to stay on my feet.13 -
That I'm feeling disappointed and frustrated about having to take time off running and doing the strength and flexibility exercise sessions I was doing as I've injured my knee. Typical that something would happen right when I actually start to feel like I can do it though!9

While it might not be as intense as running, look for seated workouts on YouTube. When my mobility was limited, I started there and was still able to feel like I was doing something positive until my body was able to do more.13 -
So during a WI winter, one rarely sees neighbors. Today, with the temp being above 50, folks were out and about. my neighbor mistook for the slender woman who lived farther down the street. She hadn't seen me in months. And I am still 25 lbs from a "healthy" BMI. But I was so flattered, b/c no one has seemed to notice. I've only lost fewer than 10 lbs since when she last saw me in the fall, but I wasn't wearing a coat. I'll take it!12

Yesterday, even though I was feeling terrible I went and worked out. Today I went for a jog and managed 25mins! Felt ready to stop moving at the end but not falling down tired ☺️ It totally feels like the scale has stopped moving (too much wine) so I really needed the NSV this weekend8

My brand new 12kg (25lb) kettlebell arrived yesterday morning and in yesterday's workout I did my swings with it! I'll move up to 16kg fairly soon, but this feels amazing: I was struggling with 0.5kg dumbbells when I started last May.10

105 days of logging - 3 notches on my belt16

Even though it was snowing yesterday, I went for a walk. I hate the cold/snow. 3 months ago I would have skipped it but I knew I'd feel better afterwards (and I did)!16
-
I had things to do this morning, so I set the alarm for 6am, rather than waking up later naturally with the time change. This gave me time for an hour long walk and my coffee/journalling time before I had to leave the house.
I used to use morning errands as an excuse to go to the drive thru.16 -

Thank you, I'll look into it! I'm going to get some weights soon so am planning to do some seated lifting too.2 -
I reconnected with an old friend from 10 years ago, and it's been opening my eyes up to a lot of things.
I feel a new sense of self-confidence and purpose9
