I'd be a little faster if I wasn't riding a "Comfort" bike. Had to pass three guys in my age group on the run to podium!
Inspired to the Nth degree!!!!1 -
Does anyone else just get angst-y to move faster sometimes? I have been walking a lot and I have been feeling the itch to run - which is weird because that is soo not my thang. And every time I hear the music in the commercial for the Assassin's Creed Mirage game - it always seems like a good running song.
So two nights ago I went out and did it, mile was 17:40. I didn't use music and my interval timer (I am doing a sort of C25K thing but my own because when I have tried it in the past I felt like it advanced too fast) only went halfway so then I had to do a makeshift thing and I don't think that helped.
I was planning to run tonight but I already had 10,000 steps by the time I got hime so I didn't feel like I needed the exercise. But I decided to do it anyway because I wanted to stick with the plan (especially so early on in the game), my mile was 16:15! This time I had music and I found a much better timer to use to time the intervals (that was built in to the app I use for tracking my walks, bike rides, etc - I had no idea until now).
So the NSVs - sticking to my plan and even trying this running thing (albeit for the umpteenth time) in the first place. Also, I made beet fries yesterday and they are pretty good. I am a picky eater so that is a big achievement to try something new like that.
Edit to fix an autocorrect.19 -
Two NSVs for me this time:
1) I've started walking around the block once or twice most days. There's a fairly long and steep hill included - gets my heartrate up! Yesterday I realised that I was finding it easier to walk up.
2) My clothes are a bit looser and more comfortable.
I'm very happy with both of these!22 -
I crossed my legs today. I didn't do it on purpose, it just happened... I had forgotten what that feels like!24

I have been eating a ton more vegetables and beans/legumes lately. I’m finding new and interesting ways to enjoy them. I’ve also gotten really into tofu and find myself ordering it wherever I go. Now if I could just let go of the sweets… 😂20

@EliseTK1 The book Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Quit Emotional Eating cured me of wanting sweets. Highly recommend. It’s a quick read that changed my life.
He has another book specifically about sugar: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29382984-good-sugar-bad-sugar that I’ve been told is good too, but I didn’t read it because the first one did the trick for me.8 -
I was able to comfortably pull on and wear a hoodie I purchased earlier in the year and was totally unable to wear in July! Love being able to wear more of my wardrobe every day!!25
-
Today I put on my size 16 jeans, and they fit -- not well, but I could zip them up without gymnastics. A few more pounds and I can wear them out! So excited.
Also I ran into a neighbor I hadn't seen for a few weeks and he commented that I'm losing weight (can't remember how he put it exactly) which is also exciting because at 45 lbs down now, I have gotten exactly three comments so far! I look so different already, and apparently most people can't see it. Or maybe they're not wanting to say anything for some reason, who knows. (Not that it matters, it's just funny/fascinating to me.)
@mikerommfp Congratulations on your amazing progress! Yay for getting off those cholesterol meds, that is so cool.23 -
I looked in an old ww journal I have, and when I first logged my weight 3 years ago I was 10.1kg heavier!22
-
I can fit into a pair of boots that I bought last year that I've never been able to wear! I've worn them three times now.23
-
Sort of a NSV. (Well it's more then just a scale!)
Had my body fat percentage checked on a InBody machine. I'm came in at 13.4%!24 -
I have to buy some new clothes. Literally wore the smallest thing I have and I was just praying the whole time I was out it wouldn't slip down my behind when I walked (had to pick it up a few times as it is, lol). Bad News - Not sure what size I wear. Good News - That means I've lost more than I've been able to in a LOOOOONG time since I don't have anything in a size I can wear. Other good thing - I work from home so...I can deal with PJ's/oversized clothes and only buy a couple of things for going out untill I finish my weight loss journey.26

Having to replace my belt for the second time this year.17

I’ve been living beyond the outer edge, in a land called Obesity Class III or Morbidly Obese. The World Health Organization calls it “Very Severely Obese.” In other words: I had eaten myself to a place that was beyond the last official measuring post of how fat a person can get. It’s like outer space: you can always keep going, but they can’t even describe where you are anymore. Well, as of today, I’m back inside that horrible border beyond which there are no further borders. I’m now just “severely obese,” class II obese, garden variety obese, whatever we want to call it: there’s a line I will never cross again beyond which things are even worse! BMI 39.9, baby!38

My favorite ring fits again! I had it custom made and I love how it looks and feels. I haven't been able to wear it in years. It slides right on and off, omg I'm so happy 💍27

Your progress is incredibly inspiring!! Well done. 🎉11 -
After about 2 years of trying to get back into running and life constantly getting in the way in one way or another, I finally got back to the point where I can run 5k without stopping. I straight up nearly cried out in the street when I checked my running app.30

I had my shirt pulled up while I buttoned my jeans. I happened to look in the mirror and had to do a double take. There are "indents" on both sides! I know that sounds weird, LOL. I have actual curves! Now, granted, they don't curve out to my hips, they curve out to the fat that is still my lower torso. But 10 months ago that whole area was just round.
Also, I can wear my mother's ring on my middle finger. Whereas before I had to slather my hands with lotion to get it on my ring finger.
I went a couple months with no downward movement on the scale and was getting pretty discouraged. I just keep reading your NSV's and they really help me not give up and remember it's about so much more than that number.29 -
I put my legs up against the wall yesterday after learning that this (and compression socks) might help with my leg soreness. And while I was lying there on my back with my feet up, I thought to myself, that's a pretty nice-looking pair of legs! I seriously kept checking out my own legs and nodding approvingly I've certainly never in my life thought of my legs as nice-looking, so this is a pleasant change of events.
@tamisteffens CONGRATS on your new-found curves! That is so awesome! Keep at it and let us know what happens next25 -
I can buy clothes at Costco again! They have some great deals on winter clothes and since I’m planning to be in a different size by next winter but last winter’s clothes are too baggy to look professional (or stay on), it was nice to get some deals. And I’m not even getting the largest size they sell anymore.22
