Only had one piece of Halloween candy - a bite size Baby Ruth that I ate without thinking. Haven't bought any candy and don't plan on hitting up the clearance aisle for it either. Unfortunately my boss brought in his leftovers today and it's been screaming my name...ugh. I was Ursula for Halloween and I wore a corset in a…

The Oatmeal is the greatest. I believe in The Blerch!

You look amazing! My biggest question is...WHERE did you get that zombie shirt from?!

Going down to a L in workout compression pants and sports bras! Used to be a muffin toppy/back fatty XL/XXL before and now those pants are sliding down when I run lol. Finished my last run on Saturday - a fun run, 2.5 miler Zombie Run in the middle of the night. You get chased and they try to "bite" you by taking your flag…

I was the captain of an 8 week step counting challenge at work. My team surpassed our goal within the first 6 weeks but I wanted to see how much further we could go. I noticed in the last week that if I busted my behind I could hit 250 miles/500,000 steps by myself. By Sunday evening I was still 3 miles short. Normally I…

Just got back from a week long vacation and didn't beat myself up for the 4 lb bump on the scale. I know it's because of the tremendously indulgent 6 course meal my friends and I treated ourselves to the last night in town. Worth it. Some NSV's from the trip: -Entered a Lava Cave in Arizona. I didn't make it very far in…

Finally have a few! -Went to the mall on Thursday and browsed around. Ended up finding the cutest bodycon dress by Calvin Klein on clearance in a size 14. Surprisingly...it zipped! It was a little too snug on my tummy for my taste and it ended up being on clearance because it had a hole in it, but it zipped!! -One purchase…

Went through all of the dresses in my closet to get ready for vacation and I have to get rid of almost all of them. They're all so baggy looking now. My weight hasn't really budged in a few weeks so it was nice to see. I'm also down a size in sports bras and my compression pants are starting to fall when I run -- looks…

-We had an emergency at work that had me there until 1 AM Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, coming back in at 9 AM Wednesday and working an almost 11 hour day. Normally I'd go home and crash hard, but I threw on my work out clothes and ran 2 miles last night. Ran the ENTIRE time without slowing down to a walk once. -Today…

Having to sort through and give away some of my work out shirts. I like to wear baggy t's when I go to the gym but some of them are getting *too* baggy.
-
I've been sick all week. Normally I let that be a great reason to loaf around, eat garbage and do nothing. Instead I worked out Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, again tonight and tackling a 9 mile run Saturday or Sunday... :)

I'm the captain of a team for a health challenge at work. I've kept everyone motivated so far through week 1 and upped my own workout game significantly. Worked out Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday - including a 6 mile run Sunday afternoon. I know Old Navy is size generous but I was pretty giddy getting a pair of size 16…

Oh! Also, Saturday night I was looking for a dress to wear out. Noticed there were some dresses in bags in the back of my closet, including my prom dress from my junior year. Nearly 10 years later and it's actually too big now!

Spent time yesterday doing meal prep. Roasted a chicken, baked a fresh veggie mix, and made brown rice. Divided everything into equal portions and now have ready grab lunches for the week. It ended up being easier than I had anticipated and now I don't have to waste my money grabbing lunch every day at work. Also, Friday I…

Before -- Sorta Before -- During July 2011 - unhappy, no idea how much I weighed because it was easier to ignore than know. July 2012 - Started working out late 2011 after weighing in finally (290 omg), moved, stopped trying, bounced around, gained all the weight back by 2014. July 2015 - Started running November 2013,…

Went to the lady doc today for my yearly check up. My nurse that checks me in was SO excited about my numbers. Asked me how I did it and it was nice to talk about MFP and running. I talked to her about a boxing club I'm thinking of joining and she said she was going to go check it out. :smiley:

Ran my third race of the year on Saturday - Goodyear Burn Rubber 10K. I had popped my knee out of place two weeks prior so my training took a nose dive, but I finished! Not dead last either! Finished over 3 minutes faster than my 10K pace in May :). Afterwards I went and ran a bunch of errands and wore a size 12 top from…

Mentor Ohio...like 30 min from the CLE! Add me fellow Ohioans :)

My scale got ruined on Sunday and I'm waiting for mine to be delivered too. I weigh myself entirely way too much so I feel you there. Trying not to freak out. So last night I went to the gym for the first time in a good minute. My run wasn't great because I was dehydrated and I felt crampy but I made sure to get in at…

-Already had to go in another notch on my new belt. -Bagged and donated 2.5 kitchen garbage bags full of clothes. -Used that as an excuse to go shopping...now comfortably in a L from Old Navy. Been an XL from there for at least the last 6 years. -Still need to go through my dresses and hoodies...should be at least another…
-
Oh oh...one more thing! On Saturday I ran for 24.5 minutes straight! Varied speed between 4.7 and 5.0 to keep it interesting lol.
-
This was a bit of an NSV filled weekend for me! - Went out for dinner on Friday with one of my friends and even afterwards my size 18 pants kept slipping down. When I got home I pulled out a pair of size 16 jeans I've been hauling around the last 5 years and they fit! They're a little muffin-toppy but the fact that they…

Lol!! Thank you. No small poultry were harmed in the wearing of my pants. The gap space that happens in the back of too big pants is one of my biggest pet peeves, but it happens constantly because my butt and waist ratio is wackadoo.
-
Donated blood today and when they asked me my weight I was happy to give the number. Comfortably in a men's medium shirt. I bought a unisex medium shirt on vacation as a 'maybe in a month or so' shirt and this past weekend I put it on no problem. I didn't feel the need to tug at it like I used to have to with my unisex…

The roller coaster one is a big goal of mine! I LOVE Cedar Point but the last time I went I had to pretend I was too scared to go on the rides when I knew it was because I wouldn't fit in the seats. I fit at everything at Universal and Kennywood last year...so here's hoping for CP soon! Happy Vacation!
-
Went shopping on the 4th in just a pair of shorts and a tank top. You wouldn't catch me dead with my arms out before. I'd sooner wear a long sleeve top in the middle of summer. I still have arms that could take flight but I am happy with how they look now. It's been 1 year since I started taking my measurements and I've…

Ok I've got a few! This past Saturday was the Akron, OH Get Thirsty 8K. It was DOWNPOURING all morning. Including a breezy freezing rain blast right at the beginning. I was scared of running on the street because of how slick it was but I figured I'd give it a shot. Averaged a 13:25 mile time and ran much more than I…
-
I hate running on the treadmill. I normally don't finish a full mile without slowing down to walk...I get into my own head a lot. Yesterday I had to do 2 miles, and ended up running 1.75 miles of it straight! Had my best treadmill finish time ever, and felt great. For the first time in the 18 months I've been…
-
Having 2 bags of clothes to donate because they are finally in the "too big" pile! Going to a baby shower for a friend over the weekend and having several people comment on how good I looked and how "little" I'm getting (at a size 16/18 I'd hardly consider myself little but ok).
-
Worked 8:30-7:30 yesterday but had ants in my pants to work out. Checked when the sunset was and determined I had enough time to get a 2 mile run. Ended up having sub 13 minute miles for both and felt fantastic afterwards. Never in my life have I worked an 11 hour day and still wanted to run after.
