NSVs: I ordered underwear one size smaller because mine are too large.
Also, in January, after seeing our lifestyle changes and weight loss while visiting us at Christmas, both of my adult sons are tweaking their eating in healthier ways. Both are already quite fit, but both took seriously my concerns about their genetic risk for metabolic illness and my desire that they take steps now, in their 20s and early 30s, to make sure to prevent insulin resistance through better nutrition. My oldest decided to try what we are doing and already took off the weight he put on over Christmas and has been exchanging recipes with me. My youngest, who is currently going through a divorce, asked if we might come to visit him to clean out his pantry, get out all the unhealthy food, start his new recipe collection, shop for healthy food with him, and help him learn to make some of the new recipes. My oldest is also sending him the healhy recipes he discovered. So tonight I am here at my son's house, helpfing him with his planning and steps toward better eating.

In fact, I'm in perhaps my strongest starting position ever to "get back to it" as I am able. I am primed, ready, and much *kitten* shall be kicked this year!
EDIT: For anyone unaware, MFP changes "naughty" words to "kitten". No kittens shall be harmed.
hahaha I had no idea about the "kitten" thing. Thanks for the headsup.
And yay for keepin on keepin on! That's all we got really. Meeting ourselves right where we are.
I was bed bound for some years back in the early 2000s. At one point I realized that I could do baby stretches in bed and make sure I walked regularly, even if just a few steps to the shower.
That and a lot of other baby steps helped me slowly get back on my feet.
Rock on! 9 -
✅ Exercise - 90 minute brisk walk to pick up something from a distant-ish neighbor
✅ Calories - Yes
✅ Tracking - Yep. Every bite.
2/3 pass days so far.
Today I joined a group for over 50 runners on FB and am gathering info to prep myself to start running again. Baby steps baby. Probably do a couch-5K program and take my time. Lots of encouragement to go for it, nice n easy, even with foot issues and still being overweight. I'm leaning in.
I finally connected my fitbit and it keeps giving me extra calories. I mean, it was an insane amount added today. My practice is to use about half of any extra cals from exercise. (I have plateaued a few times from
undereating.) I think it's adding these extra cals because I have COPD and my heart rate bumps up when I move around quickly? But I'm not actually exercising. So I keep taking them back off. ('Cause I'm the boss, MFP. Stop that.)
NSV- so many this past year! My scale has been staying pretty steady since I added weight training HIIT workouts in. I know this is because I'm building muscle again! rawr. The past three weeks I've been able to do 50 sit ups per workout. When I started the HIIT routine 4 months ago, I had to alternate side twists in my sets because I just couldn't do that many situps, even in sets of 10. Now, it's no problem! And I've bumped up to heavier weights with no problem also.

My NSV has been successfully addressing my closet and dresser drawers to weed down my clothes to those I fit into now. The clothes that are too large now are bagged for the charity shop and are leaving the house. I’ve gone through all the clothes still to small and boxed and labelled those (by season and grouped by size) and put them away for now. The rest — leaving the house.
What a huge weight that is off my shoulders! Especially in that I don’t need to keep looking at the clothes that don’t yet fit. I know exactly what I have and it will be easy to look them back out once they will fit.
✅✅✅ for today. One outdoor walk with the pup; one walk on the treadmill. 12,000 total steps.

Jan 15 I LOVE reading all of yours!’
My NSV’s:
I was/am Proactive re: possible heart-related symptoms in late Dec/early Jan
I trusted my doctor & cardiologist when each in their own way said my symptoms could be anxiety. I began 4-5-7 breathing, actively caught myself worrying & stopped, and relaxed more.
I cut my sodium down.
I got my steps back >10K & >90 mins after doctor-requested 4 day break.
My spirits are high & I’m definitely more at peace.
Began creating more often.

Another pass day. Vaccine side effects/my autoimmune disease which is triggered by vaccines continues to kick my butt. But better than the actual disease, for sure. I took a shower - that was as far as I got towards my daily checklist of things to do to take care of myself.
I thought of my NSV before sitting down and reading others' and it's very similar to @WhatMeRunning 's, including the profanity which I am going to watch and see if MFP turns into kitten.
I've really just been up against myself, but I have been struggling to stay on track with this. But I came back from Thanksgiving, and I came back Hanukkah, and I came back from Christmas, and I came back from New Year's and I'm going to come back from this covid vaccine side effects break. I have the good habits, I know the good habits, and soon I will stick to them.
My first day post-vaccine I watched Hamilton for the first time and drifted in and out of consciousness. I've just started listening to the sound track over the last year. I know I am very late to the party. But what's going through my head is, "I am Hercules Mulligan I need no introduction. When you knock me down I get the *kitten* back up again."
If I can't be consistent, which it seems I can't, at least I'll make that my motto.9 -

@WhatMeRunning So sorry to hear you and your family contracted Covid. And what an amazing NSV!
@Winner_in_Life Great job on the no smoking and drinking. Keep going hun!
@jamcnewman This is my favourite NSV! I just had a conversation with my daughter on how to go through my various sizes and weed my wardrobe down. I have a few things on the go for decluttering but my wardrobe is on the list for later this year. Ty for sharing your approach.
As for me, I have a few NSVs. One is that since May of 2021, I have lost and maintained 11 pounds and consistently kept them off. Although I haven't been steadily losing, this is the first year in probably 6 years where I haven't gained. My second NSV is that I am committing to engaging with this group and attempting to report every day of the month (even if backtracking to say 3 no's). Although not completely successful yet, I no longer 'disappear' for long periods of time. Lastly, my whole journey on MFP since May 2020 has been about replacing habits, improving my mental health (I have lived the majority of my life with severe anxiety and didn't realize it until about 5 years ago & am finally on meds) and dealing with emotional/binge eating (it was one of the ways I dealt with my anxiety). I can say that since May 2021, I can see a huge improvement in how I deal with handling my anxiety and subsequent stress. I have eliminated a lot of negative habits and thoughts and I have managed to replace some negative behaviours with positive and healthier coping strategies. Still a ways to go, but at Christmas I had some time to self reflect and realized I have actually implemented and maintained some better habits.

So great that you're focusing wherever you need to Z! There's so much lifey stuff in life. It's all worthy of our attention and love.
My HIIT is pretty simple and involves weights. It's a nice combo of light cardio and strengthening, 20-25 mins. I watch TV while I'm at it. hahaha I love getting stronger. And I modify everything to work with what my body needs and can do right now. Baby steps baby. woot!

My nsv is that even though the scale is only going down slowly my measuements are going down by alot and a huge difference in before and after pics which I took in Nov till now. I think if I didn't take those pics id be really disheartened but they hve kept me positive as I can clearly see the changes in my body. Xo4
