New NSVs that i've just realised

Samstan101

I'm almost 10 weeks into along term plan to get fit and lose weight (i'm hoping when I weigh in tomorrow I'll have lost 2st in 10 weeks). It dawned on me this morning that besides the fact I already feel and look better because I'm lighter and fitter from working out 5 times a week I have a couple of significant NSVs.

1) I used to get bad heartburn alot and chewing antiacids alot. I think I've taken 1 antiacid in the last 10 weeks and that was in the first week. That has to be better for me!

2) I just looked at my sleep log via my Fitbit account and noticed that I got up twice during the night to visit the bathroom and I only vaguely remembering doing it. That doesn't sound that odd but 10 weeks ago I was a chronic insomniac who would regularly wake up at 2-3am and struggle to get back to sleep, especially when I was a bit stressed from work etc. In the last 10 weeks nothing in my life has changed but me and in all that time I have only woken up once and struggled to get back to sleep and that was because my head started buzzing with the workout plans for the following day!

1 I put down to better diet and 2 down to being tired from exercising (but a 'good' tired not a bone weary insomniac tired!). I know compared to some of the big weight loss etc we see posted here these are small scale but they are a huge incentive for me to keep doing what I'm doing and I hope act as small motivation to anyone just starting out on losing a large amount of weight.

It doesn't matter if others have lost more, it's all about improving your own health. And you have already done that! Be proud of this!

woo hoo! This was one of the first things I noticed as well, and man is it GREAT to not wake up in the night with heartburn! (red wine will still get me every time, though)

Congrats on your NSV!
