🎉 Today is NSV DAY!
Best day of the UAC month!❤️ Share your NSV (Non-Scale Victory) from this past month.
🥳 🥳 Can't think of what to write?
Perhaps one of last month's victories will remind you of one of your own.🥳 🥳🥳 🥳🥳 🥳🥳 🥳🥳 🥳🥳 🥳🥳 🥳🥳 🥳🥳 🥳🥳 🥳🥳 🥳🥳 🥳🥳 🥳🥳 🥳🥳 🥳🥳 🥳
❤️NSV - stress hadn’t killed me yet
❤️Completed a 5K split into 3,000 meter row and ski for 1.86 miles then another 1.26 miles walking.
❤️My consistent efforts in improving stamina are showing rewards
❤️My shorts for work are bigger
❤️My NSV is not quitting! I feel like my tracking is not paying off in results, only awareness, and that is a hard pill to swallow. It truly is this community and knowing you are going through or have been through similar things that keeps me here. I feel incredibly optimistic despite the “failure.”
❤️My NSV has been my menu plan for this month - I feel like I have really nailed it nutrition wise, and variety wise.
❤️NSV: I think I have more stamina. Walking is getting easier, and keeping a good pace. I managed a couple of days of 4 miles walking, followed by biking 16 miles in one afternoon.
❤️I finished my 16 week cut! And passed with flying colors :) I'm three days into my refeed now and I feel great. Nutrition is still solid, I'm indulging in treats but not overeating them, and my appetite is coming back to normal.
❤️NSV… continuing to prioritize my health by getting bloodwork done (finally found a family doctor after mine retired 14 months ago) My iron is low (which explains some symptoms) so now I will focus on iron rich foods and supplementing.
❤️My NSV this month is that my watch has stopped moaning at me! During my recovery it complained about all my metrics (except resting heart rate but I knew that was higher than normal for me, my normal is just VERY low so Garmin thinks my higher numbers are within normal range). But now that I'm training again the metrics are all back on track. I regularly get comments like You are training hard but your recovery indicates that you can do more!
❤️I'm happy with how I've been managing the come back. I am always tempted to go all in and overdo it but I'm gradually adding an extra session a week and have more than usual active rest days included which is allowing me to push hard at the sessions and recover enough by the next one to do the same.
❤️My NSV is that my cycling is getting faster, which was one of my goals for this year.
❤️NSV's: Wedded to my new Fitbit! Have managed 10.000+ steps every day this month, except one, when I was on the road all day.
❤️NSV Getting back on track with eating after a wacko three weeks after Easter.
❤️Received 6mo markers from doc, and pretty much held steady in all measures and weight - instead of worse - managed to maintain instead of gain.
A little disappointed after 3 months trying... as I thought about it, wondered... how much worse would it have been if I had not tried this year, had not eaten all those freggies, had kept eating too much instead of learning what too much looks like?
How much worse would things be? Really hard to know, but results are stable because I have been trying these 3 months since I was referred here to log food for the doc. I look forward to keep trying & seeing what happens in the next 6 mos!
— Appreciate the UAC - has helped to be with people who are working on these same things.
❤️My NSV: even with a head cold started May 1 I managed not to go overboard and keep up my daily running streak. I took the advice of keeping up the runs and they actually seemed to help clear my sinus somewhat. The advice was "as long as it stays over your neck you should be ok to run" Seems like everyone at work is sick (even covid) so I am really hoping that the head cold was my one and lonely and I don't end up with anything else.
❤️Still showing up.
❤️NSV: I think by being consistent on the food front, I am able to spend more time thinking about other non health related goals and making forward progress. A lot of energy gets used up when I am off track and trying to right myself that pulls me away from other areas in my life.
❤️It's the middle of the month and I haven't used any pass days! This is a first for me. I'm gonna make it this month!
❤️NSV: I’m still tracking. It’s a habit that has eluded me. But it’s getting prioritized and valued. And my 11 year son loaded the dishwasher. It’s the little things that feels like such an big deal
❤️One of the ladies at the gym stopped me to tell me how toned and pretty my legs are.
❤️My NSV is that I don’t have 15 pass days at this point 🤣 The last two months have been a mess for me, but I’m back in business 😎
❤️my sleeping schedule is much improved. I feel so much more rested.
………………. Just look at all these victories! We are all just terrifically AWESOME!
That was a fun list to put together
And now it's time to celebrate our successes for this past month... What are YOU proud of?6 -

I still show up daily.
I don’t get discouraged like before when I have bad days.

Yes x3. Full body strength. 1 pass day used.
NSV: I chose veggies to munch on over chips at a bbq with friends today and didn’t feel like I was depriving myself. Eating habits are changing!3 -
Another pass day, 3+ used so far. Didn't track. Might have gotten 20 min exercise. Was probably under calories. Weight is still holding steady! I'm hoping I've just got a couple more days of this illness.
My NSV is that I'm still here posting despite mostly taking pass days this month 😅

decided to give my foot a good solid week of easiness. I did get 5K steps but no specific exercise. Love all the NSVs, I hope to be on board next month with recovery and not having gone over my maintenance weight…. fingers crossed

Pass day 2 of 3 Used
NSV - I am sticking to the plan 85-95% of the time by habit, regardless of results. That - for me - is a big win! Making eating right and exercising hard a habit of it's OWN (not a means to an end) WILL eventually get me to goal!

@deskjockey925 I think this is a HUGE success. You've totally, lastingly, changed your life. Way to go! This is what it's all about. Especially that last part: Making eating right and exercising hard a habit of it's OWN (not a means to an end) 😍
