Added 10lbs to my deadlift over the last 2.5 mo—185. Starting to really see 200 as a feasible goal and not a total pipe dream. (I hit 165, got injured doing something else, took a year to make it back to that point. So happy to be making progress!)

ETA: just saw I hit 165 in 4/25, so I’ve added 20lbs over 2 months!

Way to go!! I can't even fathom dead lifting that kind of weight right now. Maybe one day I'll get there too.

NSV is reclaiming my old nsv’s. Lost a lot of progress over the winter with my rowing, back at it and finally have gotten to where I left off. Looking forward to what’s to come.

I have worked out 6x per week for the past 2 weeks. I have consistently logged my food for 22 days. My average steps are 14 000 per day. I think I may be back on the horse!

Here comes July 4, last year I was 190 lbs, this year !59, I remember that week hubby and I were eating out on vacation eating everything in sight! Food was my vacation. Today someone at the gym says I am glad to be back, lost 17 lbs, gained it all back and I could say I have done good this year, lost 30 lbs since last year! felt good! Now going to put on that new jean skirt I just bought!

Enjoying the visual of some of my NSV metrics the last 7 days.

At my most recent doctor's appointment, she told me that whatever I was doing to keep doing it. All my blood work was great, I was down 10# since my last visit and my blood pressure was normal.

My migraines have improved drastically and I truly feel like a million bucks most days.
What I did was quit eating processed food and I gave up soda.
I do go "off track" once in awhile for a meal out, but it truly is once in awhile and for only one meal. I still avoid my food triggers even then.

I just bought a new work-appropriate dress in the sale. Went online so that I could send the link to my mother to show her what it looks like.

It looks WAY better on me than it does on the model.

My sweet, polite homeschooled oldest came home from soccer camp saying the older boys were insulting each other’s moms (I’m guessing “yo mama” jokes, which he’s never heard).. I asked what he did, and he said, “nothing, but I was ready! If they said anything about you, I was going to tell them my mom could deadlift more than their mom and could probably deadlift their dad. That’ll show them! I don’t think any of the other soccer moms can deadlift as much as you!” 😂😂 you tell them, son!

I had a goal to be able to wear all my shorts before the end of the summer. Today they all zip and button! Two pairs need a few more pounds before they’re appropriate for public wear, but there’s a lot of summer left!

Best NSV for me was having my A1c go from 7.2 to 5.6. My doctor took me off the Metformin and 2 months later blood sugars are doing great. 😄

Walking dogs a certain route without needing to stop and bend over to relieve the pressure on my spine. My core support was THAT bad! I remember finally getting to the door one night and realising - hey, my back doesn't hurt at all!

Love all these accomplishments! I have been taking progress pics and can see the difference in how my clothes fit. Lost ten pounds in 5 months. Have 20 more to go!

I really like this goal. It seems fun and seasonal and motivating.

I fit into two different pairs of medium panties today! I haven't worn mediums since college.

I am making it my business to forsake sadness (replacing it with patience and counting my blessings for what and who I am and have/being content and grateful/thankful for/with all things--the good, the bad and the ugly--WHEN (not if but when) "bad/negative/hateful/wrong, etc. people, places or things or thoughts happen in and to me--looking for LESSONS TO APPLY IMMEDIATELY in/thru my life (AND THOUGHTS)--embracing the wonderful CHOICE/ABILITY to learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of others, instead of "nursing" grudges, upsets, and woe AND ridding myself of people, places and things that are toxic and not good for/to me, period--without an ounce of bitterness nor wrath, in real LOVE for myself and them).

Making myself Forsake "taking" offense (replacing it with a "whatever--God bless ya" attitude instead). I'm catching myself rejecting and casting out thoughts and/or feelings that "feel" right--but bring me to a place/state/attitude of "woe is me, poor me, that was wrong what they did, that hurts my feelings, ect.). I'm NOT ignoring things that happen to me, I'm just catching myself more and more when the YUCK of everyday life tries it's d@mnest to take me out of the place of PEACE and JOY and IMMEDIATELY replacing my thoughts and REACTIONS on:
Philippians 4:8 King James Version (KJV)
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

WOW...being in control of oneself is EVERYTHING, period. Much like weight blastification, it's hard...but so not impossible. Big ole NSV for REAL!

I had a few different events over the last week, and ate more than my target calories...but I didn't go overboard, just enjoyed it and carried on.

I am showing an extra pound or so on the scales as a result, but that's okay. Not going to let it get out of hand, will just keep on going. Those extra pounds will disappear sooner or later (I'm hoping for sooner, but whatever).

What?? Are those abs I see? Or the start of them????

I had two NSVs this week #1 - I went kayaking while on vacation in Myrtle Beach! This is huge for me, I have never done it before because I was too big to fit in the kayak. I didn't even worry about it beforehand, just plopped my behind in and fit VERY comfortably! AND we paddled for 2.5 hours and I wasn't winded or tired at the end - it was glorious! I wasn't even sore the next day! Woot!!! #2 - I just did my own pedicure. I can actually bend over for long periods of time and breathe. Mind blowing, really. Going to get some more clothes on ThredUp with the $50 I just saved

Took some progress pics recently and noticed my stomach doesn't stick as far out and my butt/legs are getting more defined!
