Today I watched it most of the day without once going get a snack. I even managed a 16hr IF. That's never happened before.
That's a huge NSV!! We stopped watching Food Network because it always made us go find take out somewhere..
NPR did a story about a study done by some dietitians that looked at people who watch cooking shows.... The takeaway was that watching a lot of cooking shows led to weight gain. Imagine that.0 -

oh - thought of two more:
i feel more energized and motivated to work out
i eat out less (less desperate hypoglycemic can't be troubled to cook drive-thru nights)0 -
I got called a skinny mini when we were putting together costumes. Apparently I see myself as big enough that some of my stuff should have fit other people, and that was definitely NOT the case.1

oh yeah - and i pulled one of my favorite button downs out of the spring/summer box and tried it on - fits just fine in the arms and bust for the first time in years!0

The lovin' is better.
Sajyana! I was looking for a polite way to say exactly that!! Woot!
So that being said, my other NSV, I can sit on my knees now!! My partner is very minimalist, barefoot runner (with shoes, long story) very much into biomechanist approach to living. So... we don't have furniture. Easy for him. But now I can sit on my knees and not just (uncomfortably) on my butt! Yahoo!3 -

The current blood pressure thread on this forum reminds me of a recent trip i had to the cardiologist. It was my annual visit with my longtime doctor. His nurse took my vitals and then she took them again - with a worried look on her face. My resting heart rate was in the 40's (about 20 BPM less than last year)! Something must be wrong!
Well, it turns out that all of my hard work and clean living was the cause. I have been working out with increasing intensity for over 3 years. I guess the results are materializing. A resting heart rate in the 40s is normal for a fit athlete - two words I haven't been able to use to describe myself before this point. All is well. I have no physical ailment causing this low heart rate. I am just, finally, in pretty good shape.3 -
My calorie levels are starting to drop now that my appetite has leveled out.1

My husband, Bless him, brought not one, but TWO bars of the hand made turkish delight in milk chocolate that he knows I love. I looked at them and said, "I just joined the April challenge. It was a lovely thought. How about we put them away until May?" Which he did.
The biggest victory: I didn't even want to eat them. In the past, I would have had them out of his hands faster than the Flash and eaten an entire bar in one sitting.3 -

i posted these on the april challenge thread too but:
walked out of the panadería today with a box full of pastry (for my students) and hadn't the slightest urge to take a bite!
same with my kiddo's easter basket from our landlords - gave her one piece of chocolate, put the rest in the cupboard and carried on.
freedom!1 -

This morning as my wife was taking my donated clothes to her hospital's "emergency closet" I said I would do the same thing with warm weather clothes if it ever warms up. She said good she had seen some cute clothes in the men's sections this spring. Clothes are not really my thing but I don't recall cute, clothes and me used in the same sentence before.
that's pretty dang adorable.0 -
