Played football (soccer to the Americans!) with my nephew yesterday. 125lbs ago I would have really struggled but today it was merely a decent workout!

A great active day

Making a packing list of clothes I might need for a vacation, I was thinking of buying a few new things to take with me... until I realized I was smaller now than the sizes I was picking with no plans to stop and smell the roses anytime soon! I'm saving the money for a thrifting spree in about 20 lbs instead.

I had a seriously stressful and upsetting afternoon/evening yesterday, and I did NOT resort to comfort eating. I did think very hard about going for ice cream, but I knew it would do nothing useful for me, and didn’t act on the impulse (other than checking out the current flavors at the ice cream shop, lol). This is a major success for me, because I spent my whole life eating to stuff down my uncomfortable emotions, and I'm finally getting the hang of using more productive coping and problem-solving approaches. I'd like to give a shout-out to Allen Carr who helped me understand that food does not fix difficult feelings.

@MargaretYakoda Awww thank you 😍

✨✨✨New measurements are in!✨✨✨ Another two months’ worth of progress: I lost 🌟 0.5” from my neck 🌟 0.5” from my arm 🌟 1” from my waist 🌟 1” from my stomach/butt 🌟 0.5” from my thigh and 🌟 0.5” from my calf. Last time I had lost most of my inches around my center, this time it’s evenly distributed overall.

Bonus: my “upper belly” is almost gone now

there was leftover cake, cookies, and fruit from a meeting in the breakroom. The cake looked and smelled great but I just took some fruit. (although I am hoping that since they put the leftovers just before lunch it disappears before I go to eat myself so I don't have to leverage additional self control)

My company frequently gives away T-shirts for gifts for completing cost saving projects. In the past, I have gotten them in 2X and XL. This time, I decided to try a L. It's a little bit snug around the middle still, but it fit fairly well.

hiiamamie · April 25

I have stuck to my no red meat more than 1x per month and no fried food for a couple of weeks now. It's a start, but my gutt is healing and I'm feeling better. This is enabling me to focus on my next goal.

jennbeth1 · April 26

I don't have to unzip my jeans to take them off. I'm hoping that they will continue to last for a bit longer though.

Beat my step count for the year so far.

spirittrail · April 27

Years ago I overstretched my oblique after a workout session. I didn't think much of it at the time....the pain came back at some point in the last ten years. I just learned to live with it....it seemed to come and go. I realized it's completely GONE in the last week. I'm down a total of 26 pounds in the last 18 months. I think the pain was caused by the extra weight around my middle 😕. It feels like a miracle actually.....lol . 😀 I haven't felt it in weeks!! I'm thrilled!!

JoshRuns · April 28

I completed a 5k run for the first time in over a year, with a time of 33 minutes! I also ran negative splits!

PinUpDreamer926 · April 29

I made it through meal prepping without crying!

takinitalloff · April 29

@PinUpDreamer926 It does get easier with practice, right? Hang in there!

Stuck to my calories so far this week and pre logged my meals for the rest of the week.

This may be a goofy one:

Y'all know the cardiovascular exercise recommendation for basic good health is 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise, 75 minutes of more intense exercise, or a proportionate combination.

Garmin tracks this as "intensity minutes", in which a minute of more intense exercise counts as 2 intensity minutes.

My first exercise activity of the week, a lovely fun bike ride out on the trail system in beautiful weather, got me to 170 intensity minutes.

No, I'm not taking the rest of the week off!

My current NSV is being able to walk through the grocery store Chip, Cookie and Candy aisles without even glancing at them. Not only that, think of all the money saved from buying that overpriced junk! HA!
