Today I had three non scale victories that I'm so happy about. When I decided to lose weight for good I also gave myself a goal to gain strength and endurance so tomorrow I will do my first 5k and work up to a marathon. In just a couple weeks of walking frequently, my 1 mile time went from 20 minutes to 14 minutes, I can run up 6 flights of stairs without tiring where before I couldn't walk up three flights without breathing hard. Also now I can do chin ups! I didn't have the strength to do a chin up even when I was fifty pounds lighter!I didn't lose much weight this week so it was so encouraging to see I was taking the right steps to be healthier overall.
