Funny how eating fresh fruit and veggies, instead of simple carbs, does make me feel healthier!! Bonus of a an improved complexion! emoticon

I jogged 1.7 miles today. I JOGGED 1.7 miles today. I couldn't jog one lap in high school much less over mile. It wasn't fast, but it was faster than a walk. Go me!

Yesterday I had a lot of arthritic pain in my hips making it difficult to walk. I grabbed my hubby and we went for a walk, albeit very slowly. At least I moved this body!

I wrote a silly post about my new found thigh gap. Apparently, my bones are different now than they were when I was younger. It's small gap since my legs are thick and muscular. I'm just no longer knock kneed.

I am really proud of the fact that I "ran" for the first time. I wanted to see what the C25K program was so I downloaded it on my phone. I ran for 60 seconds and then walked briskly for 90 seconds for over a mile. (I walked 3.5 miles all together). Since I have never ran before that makes me proud. :) I am going to stick with the program and see if I can run for 30 minutes after 9 weeks. That would be amazing!

Today, my non scale victory (tho I WAS down half a pound!) was that I met my water goal. It's so hard for me to drink that much of anything.

No scale victory this week--but feel like bloat is coming off. And my far-too-well-endowed chest is finally starting to shrink a little bit.

My clothes fit better. My collar bone and cheekbones are beginning showing up. I can breathe deeply especially when I lie in bed. The scale totally sucks. Hate it.

emoticon I don't know if anyone's still using this thread....but my non scale victories are the following:
1. I'm posting and reading and writing down what I'm eating.
2. I think my eating habits are finally forming into good ones.
3. Off the scale I have a great life.

Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.

I have had a good year. I lost 37 pounds and made some good lifestyle changes. Got pregnant in May so now my ticker is going in the other direction! Looking forward to using the Spark People tools after our baby is born to rebound and get in great shape again.

Scale is being stubborn and won't move? Loosing motivation?

If so lets use non scale victories to get us through the rough patch. What are your Non scale victories?
