I am beyond excited today! I went for my first run in close to a year. Banged out a 5k with no issues and no pain!!!!

That I got up early, texted my homie and he talked me into going surfing. Went, actually caught a few waves before it got big and scary....lol And stayed in the water for over 2 hours. Forgot how much I love to surf. Must go more.

That I completed my goal this week of bringing weight lifting into my workouts and did it 3 times this week like I planned. Now the real challenge is to keep that 3 times a week goal that I am setting for myself here and now. Basically in telling someone, ie all of you, I force myself to be accountable.

Today it was getting laundry completed and a weight lifting session, then got my first dose of my covid vaccine. ( Super stoked about that) And now it's beautiful and warm outside so after this lunch of mine I am hitting up a bike session too. :smiley: All before work tonight....lol

For the first time in I don't wanna know how long, I am finally under 150lbs. I am stoked, I have lost 27lbs and 6.5 inches off my waist. And yes I did a happy dance in the bathroom this morning. I am so happy of all the hard work I have put in and how I am seeing the results. I am also happy that it is going slowly…

That I have finally, after being stuck for over 2 months, dropped 25lbs. I am now at 150lbs. Not my goal weight but getting there. Let the journey continue! :smiley:

I got my new snowboard bindings in the mail. Needed help, Ie the correct tools to switch them with my old ones. (thanks dad) But now I am all set to go today and I got my ticket and it's only 6:15am in the morning. Hill opens at 9am....lol

Today is day 200 of logging in this time round. Yay just keep swimming....lol

Today was get in the 10k hike just ahead of the crappy freezing rain that just started as we left for home. Winning.

Here's my NSV, I went swimming yesterday after only getting 4 hours sleep after working a night shift before. I felt like death but I went. It wasn't a great swim. Post night shift hangovers are real beasts. But more importantly I didn't wuss out and not go. Today I have one booked and this one will be way better, because…

I have stalled on the weight loss. But the thing that is motivating me right now is that I haven't gained back. Just been hanging out on one of those plateaus that happen. Although this one has been longer than I would have liked and I guess having two weeks off around my birthday didn't really help, but hey it's all good…

Headstands: I can hold them for about 5 seconds, yes I still have to use the wall to get into them, but I can do it.

I made it to work....lol Somedays that's all I got.

The other day doing yoga I managed to get to get into this arm balance called eight angle. Pretty excited about that, as I had seen the pose on Instagram and had no idea I would actually be able to do it.

Today it was the Russian Lifeguard at the pool asking me where I train out of. Well I actually only train for myself but I felt it was a total compliment to me that he noticed my coming there and thought I was on a swim team. Guess I don't suck after all.....lol. I know I don't suck...I kid because I can. :wink:

Basically after being an active kid, I become an inactive teenager and that followed me into adulthood. Then I said screw this and rediscovered my passion for all things active. Basically I want to continue to be active as long as I can. I love that I cross train, so I never get bored with my exercise routine. Right now…

Going to do yoga and go swimming today! Weeeeeee

Oh I absolutely love my green eyes! They so bright and I just don't see people with them like this. :smiley:

I am stoked. Today for the first time in months I could do jump back chaturanga with NO PAIN IN MY FOOT. Can you tell I am excited? And that no pain continued through my whole yoga practice today. Yay! :smiley:

So this isn't an actual before and after. It's a before and during. The blue is at 175lbs and the black is at 155lbs. Now I probably should have done them without as much clothing so I could see the loss better but hey I am a modest human here....lol

On 1200 I wanted to kill everyone, So hungry all the time. I am way too active for such a low calorie intake. But I realize that what doesn't work for one, can work for another. I would rather lose slower and feel human and not want to kill everyone so I will eat back workout calories here and there. I like happy, healthy…

I am looking to gain myself back. To not let my mental health plummet to the low that I reached at the end of 2020. So far it has been way better than it was. But I think re-committing to myself and my physical and mental health has made all the difference. So going to continue what I started back in August which is…

Just did a little decluttering today myself. Got rid of what I believe to be a person pretending to be someone else in my life. I attempted to get them to admit it, why you ask? Well they were pretending to quite a famous individual and I really was curious to know if they truly were that person. But after calling them out…

I finally did it today! I made it all the way across the pool on one breath underwater. Not only once but twice!!!!! Been working on that for a while now.

Good for you!!!! Your story should motivate everyone. :smiley:

That I signed up and completed 4 swims this week. And that I was legit only a few strokes from going the whole way underwater in the pool on one breath. I will do that soon!

Making some changes to my earlier no actual goals. Decided it would be a good idea to have some to motivate me. Mini goal, I have logged in for 140 days straight. When at day 10 I thought I can't do this and here I am still logging. Second mini goal, made it out of the holidays without gaining any weight. Didn't lose any…

Today it's knowing that 2020 is over as of tonight and I have decided 2021 is gonna be my b*tch. Meaning I will be working on myself. Which today meant booking myself into the pool for two swim sessions. Figure that's a great start to the new year. And maybe, just maybe my foot will have finally healed enough that I can…

Today it was getting up at 6:15am to hit the pool for the first time in a month. Our covid restrictions have been eased up again. Basically the gyms and pools are open again at reduced numbers. And even though I am totally not a morning person, I did it anyway because the idea of getting in that pool was way too important…

I finally have lost 20 lbs. This is my first actual mini goal, which was get back to the weight I had been for a while. Well thought I had been for a while anyway. Next, and we shall see how that goes, I don't plan on setting a weight loss goal right now. I think I will just see how the rest of the winter goes and where I…
