I made myself a handknit sweater a few years ago that I wear all the time in the Winter. It's my favorite color and style, and I love everything about it except one thing: I made the sleeves about an inch too short. It's not noticeable to other people, but it's always bugged me. I could fix them, but I'd have to unravel and reknit a good part of each sleeve, and I've never gotten around to doing it. So last week I put on the sweater and noticed the sleeves are now long enough because my upper arms aren't stretching the fabric anymore!! I couldn't wipe the smile off my face all day.32

All of my business clothes are way too large now. Made the step of contacting the career counselor at my alma mater to see if there is a way I can donate my suits to any current students need any clothes for interviews.22

Able to jump up with both feet at the same time onto my step aerobic platform. Before the left leg (with a rod & two screws in it) would always lag behind my right leg. My legs are getting stronger.21

I'm working on my Everything Journal for 2022 which includes goal setting. Every year, I list lose weight and exercise more. This year, for the first time in countless years, my goal is to get to my maintenance weight and to add weight-lifting to an already fabulous exercise routine. 2021 is the year I started actively moving towards improved health. Woohoo!!23

While I've been doing a 16/8 intermittent fasting Monday through Friday for about six months now I've added a 23 hour fast on Wednesday's. It's all about the autoghagy! It's really been a challenge with all the Christmas treats flooding the office!8

I have not shopped outside of my house since I started my journey in March. I basically "shopped" the larger clothes to smaller dress clothes, right in my own closet..... ..Today, I needed dress pants and I had none small enough!16 -

Lol. I may end up "shopping" in my sister's closest when I visit over the holidays. Won't help with pants (I'm taller) but there may be a dress or two I can snag!

I can't wait to shop my own closet! I'm wearing 10's soon to be in 8's. I've got 0-8's available. Need to get down a bit more yet. Almost all of the 8's are mainly summer weight pants and today is the first day of winter in the US!

My nsv is getting back into it. I've had a "minor depression" for a few weeks and I just could not. I did weight myself still but wasn't fully maintaining.
Now that it's gone I'm back into logging. Since going back into logging I've been losing again. I'm very very happy about feeling better mentally but also very excited to get back in the saddle and lose more.17 -
This is a bit of a mindset victory more than anything else, but I thought other folks might find it helpful too.
The weight I've been losing can be seen in various parts of my body, but it hasn't had much of an impact yet on my belly (which I know is pretty normal). I've been sort of mildly sad about it, but today I thought "well, if I could just shift the fat in my belly to some place else on my body, where would I put it?" I realized then that I'd be sadder if I had to have it around my neck or even jigglier arms or really any where else on my body - and that I actually prefer it to be my belly. I'll still be happy when I do lose enough weight to shrink my belly too, but now I'm OK with that being the last thing to go.26 -

That is genuinely such a good way of thinking. I think we all often get into that mindset of focussing on our bellies, but I know I'll be trying to remember this from now on!

I really wanted a splurge today, so I went and got a Whopper with Cheese for lunch. But I didn't get fries or onion rings, and I did adjust a bit to fit it into my calorie plan for the day. I know what I'm eating for dinner, and I'm getting my steps, so I won't go over!
I can make good choices so I can still enjoy the foods I love!15 -
When I got out of the shower I was able to balance and alternate between my left and right leg. While balancing I dried off the lifted leg. Something so simple yet amazing that me 5 10 15 years would not even think of attempting. 😝18

I put on my sports bra to get myself prepped for a workout in a bit, and for the first time in I don't even know how long… I didn't feel gross. I never thought that day would come. I took my before pics and I was depressed for days. I am finally starting to LIKE my body.
I totally understand, you being happy is the most important thing6 -
My NSV today was having a 'smooth' transition from downward-facing dog to low lunge during yoga practice today! That transition has always been really tough because of my belly and limited core strength, but today I pulled it off! I even had a moment where I realized I'd gone too far back on my mat, so I held myself up with my arms while I adjusted my legs to where they needed to be. 14
