What is your non-scale victory for the day?
It's not much but, I chose a large and very delicious salad for lunch instead of the normal pasta or sandwich. I'm pretty proud of myself. It was healthy and delicious and made me feel good about myself. ^___^ NSVs are the best!

    I love this post! Non- scale victories are so important. Mine was squeezing in a great workout last night despite a cold and a really busy day.

    oh I know! :) They're the best! The scale can't tell you how you feel about yourself! To me, it's all about feeling good in your own skin!

    Mine was having a record fast power walk, my personal best! Walked 5.34 miles at an average speed of 5.04 mph!

    I woke up this morning and I wasn't feeling all that well. Despite how I felt, I got up and went for a nice run. By the end, I felt so much better. Not that long ago, I would have just stayed in bed.

    congrats! ^_^ I have to be careful about running, ankle and feet problems run in my family. I'm already having trouble with my ankles rolling when I walk.

    - My new Guns&Roses T-Shirt fits
    - I chose to celebrate my progress today by /not/ going to DD to get an egg sandwich
    - I'm excited to go running tonight (even though I don't think I'll have time to go until after 9:00PM)
    - I'm starting to seriously need some smaller jeans.
    - Edit to add: My wedding ring fell off this morning

    I put on a shirt that I thought fit me last year - but apparently I was wearing it too tight. I look amazing in this shirt today! I didn't know it was supposed to "hang" like this.... hahah

    That's wonderful, dear! It's hard to pull yourself up sometimes, I know I have issues with it sometimes. But I just think about how good I'll feel afterward!

    Was asked "Why are you working out? You don't need to lose anymore." Feeling good!

    The convenience store near my house has some very very large cups for fountain drinks. I almost bought the biggest one but went with the next smaller size. It fit perfectly in my cup holder and the other would have been too big. That made my morning. NSV!!!

    Awesome! Keep it up! :) I'm taking a break from walking today. I've walked almost 4 miles in two days which isn't much but it's better than I was doing! I normally walk when I wake up in the morning and take my dog with me for a lap around the block!

    It's always nice to fit into old clothes! ^_^ I can't wait to reach that point!

    I'm up to 3x10 push ups in full plank style in my morning routine (squats, hollow rock sit ups, push ups).

    2.5 weeks ago I started with 3.5 and struggled.

    Pulled Fall pants out of closet - they were too tight last year. Now they are TOO BIG! Had to go out and buy 4 new pair of pants - 2 were even a size 8! :)

    I pulled out a pair of jeans for work this morning that just 2 weeks ago were a little tight... This morning, I had to wear a belt just to keep them up!!!! :)

    Going for a walk during lunch on the University of Texas campus (even though I'm wearing a Texas Tech t-shirt, haha!), and even though it's blazing hot outside! I burned 94 calories. :-D

    Great job, hun! I haven't been able to accomplish a push up yet, hehe! So you're doing better than me there :) Keep it up!

    That's wonderful! :) Great job! I love taking walks and I'm so glad fall is setting in here a bit in Alabama! It's been sooooo nice in the morning!

    Before I really hit my stride with my weight loss journey, I was doing a play and ended up supplying my own costume. This morning, just for ****zngiggles, I tried on the pants. They fell off. No exaggeration. Completely slid right down my legs.
