Non Scale Victory

My most recent:

- Feeling confident that I'll physically be able to do a crossfit workout when I work up the nerve to finally try it

- FINALLY FEELING IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE!!

I am currently trying crossfit because a friend (RNY a year ago) is obsessed with it and there was a Groupon for the one near me. She wants to be a trainer. I feel like I'm not quite ready for it, because I have to be shown lots of stuff. But they haven't thrown me out, and I'm not giving up half-way through the class. And I can move the next day.

I think the most telling NSV is one my Mom pointed out. We were chatting about crossfit and my Planet Fitness adventures and she said "Kathy, do you realize we've just spent 5 minutes talking about exercise?" LOL. NOT the old me at all!

Hi,

My NSV this week was that I jumped into my pool midday and just enjoyed myself and my evolving body in my bathing suit(which is getting to big ). Just happy!

I fit into a size 38 in shorts and Jeans over the weekend! I don't even remember being able to wear that size. At one time in my life I was in a size 54 or 56. At surgery I was in a 48.

One day this week I was visiting an office where the team had signed up for a stair climb challenge. One of their team mates was sick so they asked if I would sub in. I did, and I managed to clock up 86 flights of stairs over the day. I was wearing heels too! Not so long ago I would have used the lift to go up one floor and would have been out of breath and need the handrail if I had to use the stairs.

Wow, my arse was sore the next day though!

5. ABOVE ALL- The obsession with food seems to be mostly gone...

YAY!
