Yes x 3 for Friday
NSV is how healthy and strong im becoming. Today i did boot camp, and even was able to do a light jog, my knee is finally getting back to normal. I gardened for 4 straight hours, doing lots of heavy lifting. Ended the say with a dog walk! Its awesome to be the strongest ive ever been, especially at the age of 39.
Its an odd silver lining to have spent most of my 20's and 30's overweight. Friends around me are worried about aging, but im getting better by the year

Yes X 3
Loving the comments for the NSV's.
Today we went to a function we go to yearly. There is a long flight of stairs. I easily went up and down them many times without a thought of taking the escalator without even breathing hard. At one point my husband asked me if I was going to a fire. He usually leaves me In the dust but not today. NSV for me.8 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 47 minutes of full body strength this morning
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and slightly under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!
I absolutely love the NSV thread -- always so inspiring!
I actually had an NSV this morning. When I strength train, I actually wear a 6 lb weighted vest. Until you do this, you have absolutely no clue what an extra 6 lbs can do to you. LOL This morning my workout included one minute of just burpees -- repeated four times. I HATE burpees and I actually rocked these out, with a weighted vest on. LOL I definitely found beast mode this morning -- never would have happened 50 lbs heavier!10 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 30 minutes on the treadmill, walking/fast walking and an incline. Better than nothing!
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and well-under with no exercise calories
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
My NSV is that I wore a dress yesterday that was too small a month ago!7 -

At 42 I’m in the best shape of my life and feel like it just keeps getting better. I was also overweight through most of my 20’s & 30’s.
I’m happy that you also made the decision to change and get to experience a new lease on life for your 40’s5 -
Great, NSVs everyone. Very motivating. Yes x 3 for me.3

That's so awesome Lala! Definitely lots to look forward to. I love that your NSV was being scooped up by your hubby. That really is a huge deal. Ill put it on my bucket list, i want a piggyback ride darnit! Lol
Also love reading about all the rockstar, 'beast mode' things that people do here at all ages. Makes me excited for the future, and actually want to challenge myself to see how much more my body can do

Love reading everyone's NSVs. They're so inspiring--and it's just plain awesome to see the many ways that this journey is making people happy. Reading about all of you who are drastically improving your quality of life as you get older is definitely motivating, since the aging part is inevitable. Thinking about it in terms of the positives it can bring instead of negatives is a wonderful change from how it is often portrayed. (Though I know there are still frustrations and challenges with aging as well.)
For my own NSVs, I've had more people commenting on my weight loss (including slightly random people, like my super, whom I normally only see once a week or so, to wave at when I've leaving for or coming home from work). I'm more confident about my body and physical fitness, so I've been seizing new opportunities and trying out new workouts, like a Powwow workout (think Zumba but indigenous), a Meditation & Movement class, a free HIIT class, etc. I'm also fitting into most of my "small" clothes now. I'm not quite to goal (either in terms of weight or inches) yet, but I'm getting close enough to that range that I can get almost everything on, even if some isn't quite comfortable yet. Several of the costumes that I have planned for the Harry Potter conference I'm going to need to be pinned or taken in a little to fit now (whereas they were too small in January). The two 5Ks I ran this year (one at the end of May, one at the beginning of June) were my two fastest 5Ks ever (the second only by one second, but I will take it!) I enjoy feeling strong and capable while I still have ongoing goals that I continue to work towards. ^_^8 -

Reading everyone’s NSVs this morning was a pleasure. Being stronger and having more stamina for whatever physical activity or task I am doing has been an almost daily NSV for me. Losing weight (55 pounds’ over the last few years) and exercising of some kind on most days has made such a difference!6 -

Exercise? Yes
Calories? Probably not, but I don't think too bad
Tracked? No, got to the bar-b-q and decided to not think about it and just enjoy.
Wish I had time to read all the NSV's. They are always so motivating!
I am getting to where I am starting to see a difference with my NSV's. I am feeling it in my body, posture, flexibility and endurance. May not be much and I probably couldn't keep up with you, but I am better then I was when I started last month and much better then February.2 -
NSV - after some initial ups and downs after reaching goal in January, it seems that I have found the key to on-going consistency in maintenance. Feels really good to have achieved a new normal and to not be so hyper-focused with this area of my life.
@jan110144 I do hope that I can do the same! I’m at almost 8 weeks.hansep0012 wrote: »My friends I have been having the most amazing week at Lake Tahoe with my family. All days were YES x3!
@hansep0012 We’re about to head up there! Is there anything you feel we should absolutely do?!0 -
It's so wonderful to read all your NSVs. They are inspiring and motivational. Mine NSV is being able to take care of myself when I am not well.
