#1) I ran my first half marathon distance today. Granted, it was on the elliptical and split into two sections (stupid machine won't let you run more than 60 min at a time!!).... But it was 13.1 mi running with a 0.4 mi cool down. #2) my new year's resolution was to run 2017 mi in 2017. (Set, and announced BEFORE I did the…

Wow. I'm 222 posts behind! No time to read them all tonight, but wanted to post my update. I hit my monthly goal today AND ran past 13mi for the first time. It was on the elliptical, and broken into two segments since the machine won't let you go more than 60 min at a time... But I did it nonetheless. 2/1 - 6.5 - 6.5 2/4 -…

Oh! And I got a new workout outfit today. Was confident enough to post a pic on social media - bra and pants, no sorry. Belly showing. Didn't get harassed... Lots of work to go before I feel GOOD about it, but confident to post is an improvement

Went for a 2.75mi walk with the fiance (60° in MN in Feb!!!), then followed up with a 7mi run at the gym, when he went to work. And wasn't tired! Would have gone another 7, but it was late and I work in AM, and tomorrow is my long run. Didn't want to push it. Keep up the great work everyone!! It's so inspiring to read…

Goodness! I was all down on myself for not hitting my 13mi goal today and silently berrating myself for posting to the board. Swing back and see such warm, welcome messages. I love it! Thanks everyone! @MNLittleFinn -13°? Hellllllll naw. I'm inside until it's in the 50's. And I have no plans on finding a dead body. But I…

Hi all, I'm new to this board + relatively new to the MFP community in general. I set a new year's resolution to run 2017 miles in 2017. Ambitious, as I'm not a "runner". My Feb goal is 60 miles. I'm starting low and ramping up to peak in summer. Miles so far are on the elliptical. Soon to convert to treadmill. Then…

Got a new dress in the mail. Excitedly put it on (yay! It fits!)... wore it to work today and just found out IT HAS A ZIPPER. I put it on by sliding it over my head!

had a gym date with a friend tonight. friend showed up an hour late.... i was just getting done with a 5k. instead of bailing on the newly-arrived friend, i said and did ANOTHER 5k!

My NSV today is all of you guys! I'll admit that I kinda fell off the wagon and haven't been tracking cals (or working out- AT ALL) for the last month or so. I'll blame it on getting busy, etc... but the reality is I was just lazy. I just planned my summer VK (Sturgis! here I come!) and got the motivation to kick back into…

great job! Keep it up and soon your'll surprise yourself by going 1/2 hr!!

Um, this is AMAZING.

I hit my net calorie goal... and then remembered that i had only logged my exercise from the gym and forgotten the 20 min of p90x's ab ripper x! Doesn't make a huge

I have started a new routine... there is an Applebee's 1.7 miles from my home. I've been (once a week) walking there, having dinner. and walking back. My weekly splurge keeps me on track the rest of the days. Getting in a good 3.4 mile walk doesn't hurt either!

Congrats! This is amazing!

Great job! One of my biggest struggles is that the gym membership is in my name, and the boyfriend occasionally comes with add my guest. It sucks the motivation out of me when he says he wants to go to the gym, but backs out. For some reason, I get it in my head that I shouldn't go either. Good to know it's not just me…

I was craving a specific fast food chain for lunch. After weighing the pro's and con's, I decided to go for it... Called it my splurge for the week. To compensate, I spent extra long at the gym tonight. After logging everything just now, I ended up coming in WAY under calories for the day. I had guesstimated how many…

Yesterday morning, I was running late, so I grabbed a lean cuisine for lunch instead of my usual homemade salad. As lunch time rolled around, my co-worker made small talk by asking what's for lunch today. I replied 'crap' since I would prefer my usual salad over lean cuisine. His reply was ' I doubt it! You always eat so…

These are so amazing. I check this post every morning while laying in bed and waking up. It's always a great start to the day, and reminds me of what's possible! (Also, way better than watching the news and hearing all the negative stories!) My NSV is pretty small compared to some of yours, but I had to buy new pants…

My original 'out of breath' speed on the elliptical is now my 'slow down and catch my breath' speed!. I would have never been able to (previously) get up to 8mph!

Live the life you love. Love the life you live... Going to get it as a tattoo (in the infinity sign) once I complete a 5K this spring!!!
