I love NSV day and reading everyone’s
NSV - I just reached healthy BMI. It took a long time but I am learning that I don’t have to get what I want overnight. I have time. I feel so much stronger. Now, when I finally do get to see him again, my 4 yo grandson won’t be able to poke me in the belly and yell “squishy” for all to hear. Also, by consistently lifting weights and staying hydrated my veins have improved and the IVs for my monthly infusions are not painful in the least — well no more than a slight toe curl. I’ve also been focusing on balance and am happy to say I can stand on one leg while doing all manner of contortions.

My NSV is not giving up on tracking even when I have to estimate. It helps me to think about what and how much I am eating.9 -
Walking or walk/run over 3 miles along beach cliffs, with my dog, almost every day this month. I'm not losing any weight, but I'm getting stronger, my mood is better, and I'm sleeping.

I was unable to get on last night to post.
My NSV is how much I as am enjoying my power walks. I've been able to stay in cardio for a good portion of my walks without getting tired and also going longer without getting too winded. Now I really look forward to doing them.8 -

What does it take to get one of those? (I have a fitbit too)
28,000 lifetime floors, which they say is as high as an astronaut goes. It has taken me years to get there.5 -
Couldn't log on yesterday - silly app.
Yes x3
Exercise was 20 minutes intentional brisk walk.
NSV this month is that I've been really focusing on my fruit and veg intake (normally manage about 10 portions) and I've been feeling really good about that. At the moment my food is the healthiest it's ever been but also really tasty.7 -

I have only had a fitbit model that "counted floors" since ~ Jan 2020 .... so I'm probably NOT EVEN at "airliner cruising height" yet LOL

I had my 180th day of tracking on the 15th. I lost 6% of my body weight...and am aiming for 10% more by day 365.6 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? - yes 50 minutes on the stationary bike, and planning on trying a 10 minute "Before Bed" Pilates routine by Rachel - "The girl with the Pilates Mat" on Youtube. (I also found a 10 minute "Start Your Day" routine by the same lady but have yet to try it.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? - yes, both for MFP AND the fitbit total burn once the bike session registers
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? - yesindeedy-doo
Days goals met: 14
Pass days used: 1 (unexpected)
NSV: Actually continuing to explore moving away not only from Wii-based brisk-walk/jog on mini-trampoline exergame, but also beyond solely CARDIO exercise options. Using my stationary bike in the basement for more intense burn-per-minute work AND starting to explore pilates youtube videos now that I have found a sympatico "instructor". (still not consistently working on the body-weight resistance work yet, but I figure active work on alignment / balance / range of motion instead of only-cardio is still moving in the right direction.
Also the more-often-than-not evening extended walks with DH most evenings too.
Thanks for the DM’s and advice about Pilates for knee pain. So encouraging- it’s helped be get back to my walks again inspite of the knee ache and am definitely going to try the exercises for the pain . It looks very doable .3 -

Congratulations @rstanaford3
I love the Fitbit badges. It always comes as a surprise when it pops up, but makes me smile! The last one I got was for floors too! The Satalite badge. 35,000 floors.
I wonder what the top one is!?1
