I went from being completely seditary to being able to walk a whole block without stopping for a rest. On top of that it only took me 10 minutes to complete the walk. And I was left with such an amazing energized feeling that I threw in 3 minutes of step ups.


So what is some other peoples most recent accomplishment?

    That is truly wonderful.

    I walked down a very steep hill where I live. That is not the great part though. The great part is I walked back up. Now I did stop at a few spots but I made it up. My hip didn't hurt all day the next day either.

    I went jogging outside for the first time today. 2.76 miles, I did stop to walk a little twice, but I did it! I usually stay inside on the elliptical, so it was kind of a big deal for me.
    But I really enjoyed it and I'll be doing it more!

    Today I was able to wear my engagement ring comfortably in the first time in 2 years. (The wedding band is sized a bit smaller than the engagement...that'll be some more time.) I'm stoked!!

    I try to take the stairs at work when possible but I usually have an EKG cart I'm pushing around so I have to take the elevator. But today when I took the stairs going back UP I wasn't short of breath when I got to my desk!!!

    We spent a week in the Smoky Mtns. I walked UP to Klingmans Dome which is a fairly short walk but up a very steep hill. Had to stop and rest several times but I DID IT!!!!

    I've actually been drinking the right amount of water! Some days, I completely forgot to drink water, but I've been using a fun new water bottle and it prompts me to drink more!

    Most recent accomplishment? Having a group of 12 year olds set up a sales table and sell 171 yearbooks in four hours while I had to sit in a faculty meeting and not supervise them. While a pile of Snickers bars was on the table in front of me. I resisted temptation during stress.

    This was my biggest NSV since starting too! I hadn't been able to wear my engagement or wedding band for months - it was so depressing. A few weeks ago I tried them on and they fit again! Such a great feeling!!

    awesome!!!

    my most recent "accomplishment"... we were eating dinner and my son(6yrs) said "mommy, i really like this rice." we had homemade baked sweet and sour chicken with steamed broccoli over brown rice. i feel accomplished knowing they enjoy healthy foods and honestly 90% of the time ask for healthy snacks like fruit and/or veggies for snacks.

    I've tried two new things today. I'm a horribly picky eater and I have anxiety about trying new foods. But I tried cherries, delicious by the way. I also tried eating apple slices dipped in peanut butter. This wasn't as good, but I will keep at it!

    I can now do squats, where as a few months go I'd just fall on my *kitten*.

    And I can do 30 situps without dying, I couldn't even do 2 before ^_^
