One year ago this week combining indoor/outdoor about a 50/50 walk/runs I logged less than 20 miles. This week from Monday-Sunday I finished a week of one 10k a day. Almost 43.5 miles all outside runs with high winds, a rainy finish on one and a few hot days. This was unplanned. Paid attention to the old body, slowed down on a few days and avoided injuries so yeah this is a big personal accomplishment. One personal reason I wanted to get this done as well so I’m glad I stuck with it and got it done. Happy Mothers Day to all…28

My husband grabbed a candy bar while we were at Walmart and even though I was hungry I wasn't even tempted. Today I was a close to my sodium goal and didn't want to go over but my fat free dressing would have taken me well over so I ditched the dressing and loaded my taco meat (home spices not prepackaged) right onto the salad. I added an ounce of Australian Sharp Cheddar cheese to it and my 6 Ritz crackers I had planned for snack later and it was a really good salad. Oh and I ditched the croutons. Even though it's mother's day I still managed to eat a good bit and come below by calorie goal today.21

I managed to fit into size Large sportsleggings from adidas today - afaik those don't tend to run huge. There is no logical reason why they should fit, not based on my weight or my measurements, but somehow they were perfect. And the new balance leggings I got in a size XL that were supposed to be 7/8 length were very loose on my waist ánd full length (I am 175cm tall, no reason for them to be ankle length on me) so my world view has completely shifted and idk what reality is anymore.
Sizes are fake but hey, free confidence boost.16 -
Getting through COVID without needing to go to the hospital. My cardio-vascular fitness and weight and vastly different than they were a year ago. I ended up with fairly mild symptoms, which I believe were the result of improved fitness and health combined with being fully vaccinated.30

I haven't cashed in on it at all because when I look at their offerings I realize I can do better at home and make it tastier AND healthier at the same time. I used to be a sucker for anything free, especially anything that was free and food related, so this is a big change in mindset for me.
oh geez, yes, I have had many discussions in my head about how just because it's free doesn't mean I have to eat it. I can afford food! I have lots at home. If I want a donut, I'll go get a good one (help/doesn't help to have a good bakery nearby.)
It's an ongoing conversation.12 -
Day 125 since I adopted a completely plant-based diet. Outside of a couple of minor complaints - most vegan cheese is pretty awful except in small amounts, there are few options at many restaurants in my area - it has been a smooth transition.
I had been eating meatless meals (still had dairy and/or eggs) for breakfast and lunch during the day and meat during dinners for much of 2021 and decided to try eating plant-based after New Years during "Veganuary" to see how I felt omitting animal protein from my diet. My energy levels have been through the roof and there are fewer times where I feel bloated after eating a big meal.
My experiment has moved to a permanent way of eating. My family still eats animal proteins and I help them prep meals since the bulk of their plates is usually grains and veggies as well. I am not pressuring them to adopt a plant-based diet since while this way of eating works for me, it may not work well for others. The takeaway for me is that occasionally they find a plant-based meal they really like and want to eat it with me.
The other day, I treated myself to a Beyond Burger. I don't eat these very often since they have a good deal of sodium and fat compared to the rest of my diet. My son saw me eating it and asked for a bite. He ended up going to the freezer and getting a patty for himself. I call that a small win.21 -
Ran my first 10 mile race today! Originally it looked to be fun and scenic but the weather turned nasty. Horizontal rain driven by 40 to 50 mph winds! It was brutal in places! Ran the first 5-1/2 miles, then walked a half of mile while I took nourishment (energy gel), then ran the last 4-1/2 miles to the finish line. Completed it in 1:56:30.
Here is the course:

1) muscle of people losing weight who are also now "fitness" sorts. i.e. somehow, when I was 277 I was incredibly sedentary, absolutely no doubt about it. After losing 80 pounds I got a little impatient and generally unhappy because it was the holidays and I did not want to gain weight. So I went from no exercise to 5 miles a day. When this happened I lost no weight, and was a large!
2) Also someone also mentioned the lose skin as a possible "the tape is also lying" I sew, and I used to know my measurements and trust my tailor tape. Pfft, lying little inchworm! I got to the point where when I even wrapped the tape into the skin for the "dough effect", it was still too loose!! I don't really get that either, except it still happens.
My hubby said that maybe it was just because I was trying to clothe a constantly changing form. Maybe.
Also @bojaantje3822 I loved your NSV of not eating the cookies, and instead feeling the negative feelings. THAT is how you do it!! (((hugs)))

I need some help with this please! I eat meatless 3 days a week for religious reasons, BUT I am allergic to whey (and of course cheese is one of the main food reasons that I was obese for so long). I have successfully added beans instead of cheese, and I tried the Tofutti cream cheese, because the store had that. It looked perfectly like cream cheese, and acted like cream cheese, but they didn't even put salt in it?? I have this tastes like butter powder and ate it, now it sits in the tray.
Has anyone ever had any vegan cheese that doesn't taste so horrible?

For shredded cheese, I like Violife brand. Their cream cheese leaves much to be desired, but the shredded mozzarella, parmesan block, and shredded colby jack taste 90% like the real thing. No whey in it either.3 -

If you can find it Applewood smoked vegan cheese is by far the nicest imo.
( I'm in the UK though, no idea how available it is elsewhere)1 -
My daughter made a lot of her own vegan cheeses. They’re basically soaked and liquified nuts, as I understood it. You could season them how they like. It wasn’t difficult. She did it nightly.6

It's a small NSV, but I've taken my dogs for long walks two days this week! Also, a co-worker of mine told me today that I eat more leafy greens than anyone she's ever met lol21

Annual physical was yesterday. Annual is just a term. I usually go two years beteen "annual" exams. My doctor says I'm still fit to dive, and the things that I had some concerns about probably aren't what I thought, and that's good.
I had a similar NSV last year. I had a PFO (a hole in the heart) closed in December 2020, and before that I was depth limited. In June last year, my cardiologist announced he was happy with the closure and didn't want to see me again. My diving doctor also got bored of me, and gave me unlimited sign off until the end of time.
I celebrated by buying a twinset and doing 10 days' diving on the South Coast (in Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.)

I've never bought any, but I sometimes make my own. It is nice, probably not as good as a high-quality proper cheese, but then what is?
Here is the recipe I use:

After about six weeks of dealing with lower back issues to include pinched nerves. I have done some cardio over the last two days and did some core stuff yesterday on the roman chair with a six pnd med ball. Not only do I not hurt from it, I'm ready for some more.16
