What you thought you'd never do (weight loss related)

Also, i'm planning to run 5k races - at school I used to REFUSE to do P.E and never take part in after school clubs that were sport related or anything. Now i'm a fitness freak!

Mostly this. I don't plan on running any races (at least at the moment), but I never thought that I would enjoy running. (Yesterday was a NSV in regards to actually running more than one little sprint, I sprinted, in intervals 1/4 - 1/3 of my "walk" yesterday. And I was grinning about it for hours afterwards.) I didn't even like running when I was at my lowest of 207 (and I'm down 7 pounds from 233 now).

I never thought I would enjoy exercise - especially not the kind that makes me all sweaty and gross.

It is now just about my favorite thing in the world.

This! Addicted to working out. Get bummed when I'm sick and can't!

I never thought I would exercise regularly and love it (thereby missing it when I don't).
I never thought I would willingly eat fish (any kind)
I never thought I would spend hours trolling the internet for recipes using protein powder and/or that are low calorie.
I never thought I'd be a small anything in any clothing store (I just bought several items in small from Old Navy)
I never thought I would get more than passing glances from guys as they peruse the bar to pick up chicks. (In one night I walked away with 4 phone numbers! This required doing that stupid happy dance Katherine Heigl does in "The Ugly Truth" :laugh: )

cant wait to do that dance =D

Never thought I'd get serious about lifting weighs or consume protein powder

I could have never in my wildest imagination thought I would go from, lying around all day everyday, to lifting or running/walking 4-5 miles every day for the past 9 months. The amazing thing to me about this was not the strenuous exercises, it was doing it every day, I look back on it and it always makes me ask myself did I really do that?

I never thought I would look forward to getting up at 5:45 to walk 2 miles, and I do it every other day with a friend (4 weeks now!).
I never thought I would go gluten-free - and it is easy!
I never thought I would not eat red meat - and I don't miss it at all!
I never thought I would ever do a race or a triathlon. I registered for The Danskin and have been training to finish strong in August!
I never thought I'd try The Primal Blueprint, and I LOVE the food! (No grains - so no pasta, rice or breads).
I never thought I would try a protein shake, let alone ENJOY IT! With greens, no less!

I am down 14 pounds so far since 1/1/12, So 2 pounds a week. I've been on prednisone for most of this month, and still losing a bit of weight. Once it stops in a few days, look out! ;-)

New habits - drink lots of water, weigh everything, log everything, don't feel guilty about slip ups, and MOVE.

Never thought I would enjoy running outside over the treadmill (which I now call dreadmill). I never thought I would be able to run a full 10K with only walking about .5 miles total. Lastly, that I would be running half marathons. I did my first on Jan 29, 2012 and have my next scheduled for April 1, 2012.

I never weigh my food. Maybe I will start doing that.

For me, getting up at five thirty to go to the gym every day before work. I work out for an hour and a half and it feels amazing! Now I am addicted to it.
