Context: stressed, anxious, frustrated and angry with myself for misplacing and I suspected losing a hand written wedding invitation. Husband overseas wanted to know dates so he could book flights for us.
NSV for me is walking past treats my mum has bought us from ireland n australia without eating any. Multiple laps past them during hunt. Sure, easy to do when calm but my body was screaming hungry, feed my a treat, which I recognised as fake hunger and ignored. Even ate a herb to distract myself. Oddly, worked. BTW, invite found in car! Salisbury Cathedral in July. V nice.

I have a vain NSV today.
For the first time ever when I suck in my stomach the bottom pooch sucks in too and I can fake a flat stomach. That was good for a full three minutes of preening in front of the mirror this morning and a nice surprise.6 -
One of my fitness goals has been to run a mile without walking. I achieved it today at the hotel on a treadmill in 13:04. Not very fast but feels good. I have been at a work conference. Ate too much but exercised a lot. +11000 steps yesterday walking and 10000 today plus 11 miles on a bike in two rides.3

May be considered a strange one --- but I'm a red cross blood donor, I try for every 60 days. Yesterday, a younger technician asked a more experienced person to do my needle insertion because "she has a lot of muscle in her arm next to the vein" -- Boy did she make my day!5

Went shopping with my teenage daughter today and was looking at tank tops wondering what size to buy and she said " I don't know mom I think you will need a smaller size, you are shrinking I can tell" music to my ears!!!! Hard work is playing off and hearing it from my daughter was so nice!6

I went shopping yesterday and purchased size 14 Capri Pants! My 16s were way too big! I took a friend with me so I could get an honest opinion. They almost felt tight to me, but she said they looked great. Guess I am not used to having pants that fit properly.0

I decided I wanted to go buy some pants as a way to reward myself and also figuring they might be on sale before all the summer clothes made there ways out. I went in looking to buy a size 10 (I started at size 12) and when I did, I decided I shouldn't buy tons of new pants. The 10s fit loosely! If I keep going, I think I might be able to get in an 8! #NSV for sure 3
