    Every mid-month, we pause from over-fixation on our weight and the scale. Please share you successes that are your personal Non-Scale-Victories (NSV)....
    Thanks, Rick

    Yes x 3, according to my prelogging calculations. If I go off course I'll edit later. One hour of tennis and tons of gardening earned my sangria for the day!!

    Yes x 3 - Exercise back inside. Temps at freezing and below, once again. 27 minutes combined total of low impact aerobics and mild stretching. Enough calories left for my usual evening snack.

    My NSV for this month is that due since I started working one time per week with a trainer, Emily, I have gotten stronger. I can do more pushups and planks. Plus, my cardio stamina has increased which is evidenced by my sprint intervals during my walk/run intervals.

    For today, I was back in the thoughtful groove of the UAC habits:
    Calories: under by 300+
    Tracking: ok
    Exercise: waking 30 minutes
    Gluten free: yes
    GF is not a UAC thing, but I going to track it & report it

    Exercised?: Yes. Setup and pack up of drone track in 35knot winds and rain
    Calories?: Yes
    Tracked?: Yes

    Lots of driving today. Diet was poor and well under calories for the day (and tired).

    FPV Drone comp 3 hours from home. Unfortunately weather did not cooperate and only practice laps were run (in 30knot winds). In those conditions, FPV drone piloting is the equivalent of white-water kayaking where you cannot see the water. Still managed a dozen laps without breaking anything, so I'll call that a win.


    NSV for the day. While packing up track (after a passing storm blew pieces of the track away), had to run the length of the field to collect cones (about 1km all up) while carrying track pieces. Could do it easily (and as fast as most of the 20yo's) without being out of breath.


    Love reading others NSV's.

    I thought I had posted last night! It seems to have disappeared, or something weird happened. It was a good day the 14th, yes x 3, with lots of VERY brisk walking in Montreal where it is much too cold and windy. I didn't pack my winter jacket, so I had to go buy a sweater to put under my spring coat! It sure keeps the walking pace up, though. I plowed right past all kinds of people going up a steep hill and then a long flight of outdoor stairs on my way to a concert last night. I was not out of breath, and I got warmer! NSV.

    So, @RangerRickL - so glad you found a good kid horse. They are worth their weight in gold. I just found out a few days ago that the horse I bought for my daughter when she was 13 will be coming back to us! He is the most amazing kid horse - he will do anything for a young one, and is a go-anywhere trail horse. With a savvy adult he can be a bit bratty, but for a kid he will work and keep them safe. He is a hilarious guy too - I'm looking forward to having him back, even though we do NOT need another horse! There is a lovely 14 year-old girl who will be happy about this. She has been going through some rough times lately and will be his main rider. Her mom is a friend of ours, and it will be good to have the perfect horse for her daughter whenever she wants some good solid shoulder to cry on, or needs a whooping good time that does not involve people. Or anything inadvisable, illegal, or stupid.

    I'm super disappointed in myself. Went out of town for a wedding and passed too many days. I'm getting back on track tomorrow. And May will be a fresh start. :/

    Exercise: Yes - 30 minute gym session and some laughs with my PT.
    Tracked: Yes
    Within Calorie limit: Yes

    @RangerRickL this post about NSV is so on point for me right now. I was having a discussion about the scale, and my husband suggested I redefine what success looks like for me. We talked about sticking to a realistic calorie target for me for now, regular exercise etc.

    My NSV at the moment is that I'm noticing increasing strength as I've been regularly going to the gym for four months or so. It's a good feeling. Success builds on success!

    @trimi1104 congrats on your open water swim! I grew up swimming outdoors and I love it.

    @LoraineGB lovely photos!
