What is your win for today??

I looked down and realized there was lots of space between my belly and the steering wheel! My stomach touched it in November! Woo hoo!

Picture attached ....

Yay that's AWESOME! And what a great new idea for a thread.

Here's mine for today...

The towel not only wrapping all the way around my body (pre op, major gaposis) but wrapping literally 1.5 times around!

Seat belt extender...NOT. I have extra!

My sleeve win for yesterday occurred at my gym

It's a 2 story gym with stairs and an elevator to access the upper deck where most of the cardio gear is.

Normally I use the gear on the first floor. Knees were shot decadess ago with surgeries from football injuries. Gaining weight every year sure didn't help. Further injuries from hobbies finished them off.

Anyway it was dead downstairs....zombie land. I could hear people shouting in unison upstairs.....saw them running laps on the indoor track and their were some classes going on.

I took the stairs and found a treadmill with a great vantage point for the next hour or so. Being surrounded by motivated folks is always a good thing.

Had that post treadmill weirdness pumping through my body afterwards that made the stairs a dicey endeavor afterwords. Did that old man stair decline.

Heading back there in a minute, too.....back upstairs.

Way to go, everyone! Keep up the good work!

What a great thread!

Yesterday I got my first "you're getting too thin" intervention at work. It was the exact same dire warning that this exact same woman gave me 15 years ago, when I lost the most weight I have ever lost on my own. Of course I gained it all back and more.

This is a personal victory for me because for the past 15 years I've tried so hard to get back to that weight again, and never could. This is outside validation that I'm almost there (another 16 pounds), to that size I was 15 years ago. Sometimes you can't see it yourself, so I enjoy the comments, even the roundabout ones.

I made a point of reminding her that this is her second go around on the subject matter, as she obviously wasn't remembering. And that just like I said then, I am well within the parameters of a healthy weight according to my doctor.

She seemed a bit ruffled after that, and I enjoyed that too. ????
