    I came in last in Spin on Sunday. Again.
    I wasn't as upset as the first time I came in last ... and I got a good workout!

    So I consider that a NSV.

    MostlyWater, your only real competition is you. If you consistently improve it doesn't matter if you come in last.

    I'm working on being able to do a chin up. I stand on a chair and grasp the bar in the doorway. Then I slowly lower myself down. It's called a reverse pull up. I had no idea I had so many back muscles that I could tweak, on the back of my front!!

    There are reverses for most exercises and doing them slowly ups the burn. Good work!!

    My shirts and jackets are getting tight across the back of my shoulders. It's not flab; after a year of powerlifting I'm becoming a bit of a silverback. Very satisfying.

    It was raining today. I splurged on a pair of boots. I did not have to buy the ones with the extended calf. I have plenty of room there.

    NSV: I had just eaten dinner and my dog was doing something silly so I reached down from a bar stool and started playing with her.

    I would not have been able to do that in the past bc I have a hiatle hernia and I used to eat too much and the food would push against the esophageal flap and make me super uncomfortable.

    The big news is that didn't happen. Now I wouldn't recommend anyone stand on their head after eating, but I felt good - not sick - after eating. It used to be so bad, I could not load the dishwasher after eating without getting very sick.
