Hurrah! It's the 15th and it's time to get our eyes off our scales and celebrate Non-Scale-Victories.
What is going right for you? It can be something as simple as "I am not craving as much junk food."

This is what I am celebrating! I have asthma and cold air triggers my asthma reactions. I waited until February 1 to begin my early morning hikes. I gauge my progress by how far and how high I can go in 30 minutes from the condo.
My cardio-vascular fitness has markedly improved in just the last two weeks.20 -

Forgot to track an afternoon snack...
My NSV is a better posture.
Not sure why it took me so long to realise that the key was to train my back muscles rather than to try to remember (and inevitably forget) to stand/sit up straight!
The workout videos that have helped me with this are the daily pilates playlists by Cassey Ho and the weekly iyengar yoga classes by Cat de Rham:

2) Yoga:9 -
A good day for me even though I didn’t track my food. Morning yoga and rehab, work, coaching kids and attending Jiu Jitsu classes. Ate well and even without tracking I know it was a reasonable day.
Also worked on the aspect that I’m using for my nsv. I started sessions with a psychologist last week and although my main reason for going was to find a way to get over a mental block I have at training, in or two sessions so far, we have already delved deeper than that. Excited about how this will help me in various areas of my life, including training.11 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 1 h 16 min of walking, 1h 14 min of muscle training.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, 1,160/1200.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes, 2,100 of fluid.
My NSV after these two weeks: keeping up with exercising daily, this is the longest for me. As for the past five month: sleeping at the same time every night. This is something I never was able to do as far as I remember, even when I was a child.7 -

Exercise:Yes, doubled on previous days' walking. Went to see a friend, stayed briefly, masked, distanced, for a coffee, made spirits soar!
Calories: Yes, stayed under. Disappointing Thai fish curry recipe, but still nice.
Tracking: Yes, logged everything.
Spirited discussion in Zoom Book Club this afternoon. Nice, helps to keep my brain working

I’m visiting my son and family for a few days – to help with childcare over half term but also to support my daughter-in-law. She has a real hard time looking after them all. My son is now experiencing more mental issues – forgetfulness and general brain fog – in addition to the physical problems. It is so sad and so difficult.

Did terrible with drinking seltzer today. Only 16oz for the entire day. I can make a dozen excuses, it’s something that I have been working on since the start of 2021.

Thank you for posting about non-scale victories. It’s important to keep everything in perspective. The scale does not tell the entire story.
Congratulations on how much progress you have made with your early morning walks. Very impressive 👏👏8 -
