When I first started losing weight, I could only think of food rewards for hitting the next weight down. But this week, I hit 50 lbs lost and decided that, instead of the cupcakes I'd planned, that I was going to give myself a pedicure to celebrate.24

The other half craved a DQ ice cream cone last night. I rode with him but had absolutely no desire for any of the nomnoms on the menu. Came home and enjoyed a lovely (and giant) bowl of pumpkin pudding I had made earlier.
Ordered some clothes from a couple of UK companies with great post Christmas sales, and also a tight cycling jacket (I don’t do that kind of cycling but I love the colorful gear).
Followed the sizing instructions, read the reviews about “size up” or “size down” on all and am pretty confident everything will fit. That used to be such a crapshoot in the XXLs.20 -
I did a set of inclined pushups the other day and my previously-injured shoulder did not freak out about it. This is a huge win for me! I've been using an elliptical for the last 5 months, and have noticed less overall pain, clicking, and other shoulder weirdness as time has progressed. I suppose the arm movement from the elliptical has been enough to strength the muscles around the joint enough to keep it more stable now. Yay!
Now I can (slowly) add more strength training into my weekly exercise routine. You know, like active people do. Am I one of the "active people" now?15 -
Been going on 3 to 4 mile walks every other morning. Taking advantage of some great weather!10

My nsv was to complete a 200lb lift on a close hand lat pull at 4 reps!! I have worked consistently on this exersise for a number of months. I also completed 2 reps unassisted on the bench press at 115 lbs. This makes me feel great as I turned 60 this past November. Going for more weight on the press as I go along.15

A previously tight & a previously skintight shirt fit again. The skintight one I won't wear in public for a while but it's great to know how it used to be to tight to breath in and now it's just tight.
Soon it won't be uncomfortably tight anymore 😊14 -
I had several NSV this week. I went to Macy's to look for a dress, straight upstairs as that is where the dresses are...women's size dresses! I had to go back downstairs to the regular sizes. So many years of habit to go upstairs. I baked a cake for Christmas dinner, cranberry orange with buttercream frosting, all from scratch and I forgot all about it. It's a first for me to have a cake in the house that does not call to me. And my rings are too big again! I think I will pack then away for the last 20 lbs then have them sized for the last time15

That's it! Like how I wanted to go for a walk around the parking lot this a.m. Didn't feel like it, did it anyway--and then went on around the building for good measure. Felt GREAT, and I met an adorable doggo! My journey has been long and slow, but before I started, walking to the far end of the parking lot and straight back would have been all I could handle. Even with just that, it would not have felt good, let alone great. NSV for sure.13

My angel wings flap to the wrist. They used to stop at the elbow.3

My posture, gait, speed and stamina have improved since I watch a video on how to walk. When I go places, I remember to keep my head up, shoulders back, core in, heel first, butt tucked and back straight. I might not be taller, but this helps my confidence.

NSV: I actually mopped the whole house in less than an hour AFTER my 5.5 mile walk. It used to take 2 days to do, even though we have a small one story 1500 sq ft home - gah, it was soo hard! And that was without any walk to tire me out!
NSV: I paid $20 for 4 dresses now that I am in normal people sizes (I am currently a large, although I am quickly moving into a medium in skirts - this is just weird but I am trying to ignore all the weird feels). Whew! I was not wanting to spend a lot of money, since I don't know what size will be for maintenance. I could NEVER have done this at plus sizes. I used to really resent the prices that I had to pay for clothes, and I am not a fancy person with all the name brands and what not.13 -
Completed my first week of exercising for at least 30 minutes for 6/7 days! Tomorrow is rest and then on to week 2!19

63 weeks ago I made the decision to live life.
I was sitting in the recliner complaining about how much I could NOT do.
Today I have gained so much stability and strength. I weigh 30 lbs less than I did before the 3 hip and back surgeries.
I went from 237.2 to 180.6 as of today!
Every day I make the choice to be active and eat all things in moderation. 💛 What are you choosing today?38 -
I ordered my very first pair of leggings. I figured they would be great for exercising. I usually wear an XL in pants due to my ample badonkadonk. I ordered a large size and was very nervous they wouldn't fit. Imagine my delight when I put them on and they looked great!19

My NSV is how glorious it was to wake up this New Years morning and not have “lose weight” on my resolution list.
In fact, I don’t have any resolutions. The weight, the stress, the snarky attitude (well, mostly) we’re al part and parcel.
So I resolve to have NO resolution this year- other than maintaining.37 -
I was feeling my chin last night and realized that some of the loose skin under my jaw has retracted so I am losing the wattles I had started to develop. WOOHOO!27
