Ok, yes, what @River_Goddess said; in other words, milestones or achievements not connected to the evil weighing appliance we stand on... which are quite literally, OFF the scale!0 -
Wrapping the towel around my waist after a shower, and actually having it stay up!

I posted this on my feed just now, but felt compelled to share it here, too. I can't find the words to express the feeling I am having this morning. Thrilled, excited, happy? None of those are it. It's deeper than that... my heart feels so full, like I I've finally come home. Like I could weep tears of relief and joy. For the first time in years, I feel like I'm back in my body.
I found my favourite shirt, the one that's been hiding in the drawer for years because I refused to stretch it out when it didn't fit. This shirt represents a very magical time in my life, a time when I was adventurously soul searching, deciding who I was in the world. I wore this shirt the night I met my now-partner, I wore it frolicking through orchards, on road trips, and to interview for my dream job. It is so infused with magic. It reminds me of youthful innocence... naïvety, a time when bad things couldn't happen to me... before several of my loved ones died.
Today I put it on, and it fits. Not "just barely" either - it fits properly. I feel an overwhelm of emotions about it. Satisfied, happy, proud, also sad for what happened in my life in the years since I last wore this shirt. It helped me see that the weight I put on was so deeply linked with grief, and only now am I healed enough emotionally to deal with healing physically. So again, I feel happy, proud, but also somewhat wistful and teary.
I'm excited to be back in my body, and to feel my heart so healed. It was a hard few years for me. I'm so grateful to have found this way of fuelling my body - it has brought me back to life.
Thanks for letting me share... I know as far as NSV's go, I could have simply wrote "My favourite old shirt fits, yay!!" But, it felt like so much more than just that - there were so many emotions that came out when that old shirt fit... it feels really good. 32 -

Mentioned this on my newsfeed but I'll give the shortened version here...I had to briskly walk from the health center to my car because of freezing cold temps. I get to my car and noticed I wasn't all out of breath and my heart wasn't beating out of my chest! In the past, any exertion over a snail's pace would have me gasping for air and praying I don't have a heart attack.12

This morning I did my last run of the year, and crossed off one of my 2018 fitness goals!
I ran a full 5k, nonstop, no breaks, no slowing down to walk. I also beat my previous best time by a minute or so. I did the whole 5k in 38 minutes.
From left to right, these represent: August 12, September 9, September 16, October 28, November 16, and December 2.
And on the very far right, there's a cane I once had to use lol.19 -

Saturday, at the age of 63, I competed in my first powerlifting competition. I made all 9 lifts and had personal records for all three lifts for my current body weight. Not only did Squat 52.5 kilos (115.74 pounds), Bench Press 37.5 kilos (82.67 pounds), and Deadlift 92.5 kilos (20pounds), but while they were work, they weren't hard. Then, that evening I went to a Christmas party and stayed Keto!17
