A bit too formal, but...how are you doing with NSVs?

My NSV is that yesterday, and today, I worked on the farm. Cutting and carrying windblown trees and limbs for hours. I can walk. I can ride a horse. I can even get on a horse from the ground to the saddle (its not pretty, but the horse stands still, so I must not be too bad). I'm healthy and get complimented on my energy.
What's happening with you?

Not sure if it is a 'non scale victory', but my Mum passed away this morning and I made sure I ate healthy food, and I cared for myself in healthy ways. It has been a tough day, and it is harder because I can't fly home to be with family. But I am OK, and I swam for an hour and it really helped. Night night everyone.26 -
Dear @idmalone, my heartfelt condolences. Please keep posting, even when you cannot stick to the rules and clock up one Pass Day after another. This is an extremely supportive community. People genuinely care about each other. In these difficult times, this is so valuable and important. Looking after yourself is important, I'm sure your Mum would agree!9

If you are finding it hard to think in "non-scale" terms .... skim through the 47 entries here (3 pages) "What did you lose besides weight?" It's great and wonderful for helping see things from a different angle.

two things I will mention are:- lost my taste for cooked-in-oil / melted butter on top pop-corn. Air-popped plain all the way now!
- after i lost a certain amount of weight, I also lost my tendency to snore .... and therefore DH "lost" the tendency to go sleep in the other room ....

I have had a few none scale victories lately but one that I'm most happy and excited about is my endurance when exercising. I've gone from not being able to do a single pushup a couple of months ago to now doing 10+ in one go.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. I worked out for an hour in the morning then went out for what turned out to be a lovely walk for another hour.

I'm a pear, not an apple, but for the first time, I gained weight in front. It was uncomfortable. It got in the way when I did yoga. It felt like I was wearing a catcher's chest protector. I realized yesterday, that the chest protector is gone. I still have a long way to go, but I feel so much more mobile.
Today, I tried ski-walking. My sister sent me a set of poles as an early birthday present. I was a little klutzy, but I think I'll get the hang of it.
So, yes X 3.

Non scale victory day is a favorite! I wore a bikini last week. I felt confident and comfortable. I accept my body how it is- strong with stretch marks.
3x’s yes.15 -

Heavy gardening day today. It is very hot & very sweaty. Food is logged & under calories
I guess my NSV for this month is that my garden is getting in order. I haven’t had a scale victory for a while but I think I am getting closer there.12 -
