What's Your Most Recent NSV

Forgot my lunch at home today and ordered Jimmy John's to be delivered. I did not order chips and I got a veggie-loaded sandwich! Glad to still feel like I can reach my goals, even when things don't go as planned..

Today I've logged in for 45 straight days, weighed in at least once a week, and in that time I lost 0.8lbs (better than a gain!). I've tracked my food completely a majority of days, and have exercised 4-5 days each week.

My biggest NSV right now is that I have evaluated the data over the past 45 days, and today I made a plan on how to make some actual progress on the weight loss front.[/quote

Great job logging and evaluating.

You know that feeling when you are looking in the mirror and you can see something is changing/has changed but it takes ages to determine what?
One of the things I (and many with me) have is some flabby skin as a result of the weight loss I have had. I have some on my stomach. It is most pronounced in the plank position when it has a droplet form. It is my battle scar and it does not bother me. It shows me how far I have come.

But no matter how much it is not something that bothered me, it is an NSV that I share Today during my morning workout I noticed both more toning on my stomach which I was happy about. But what the NSV is: in plank a distinct reduction of the droplet!
So there I am 51 years old and my skin is still firming up due to exercise!

I think this is a pretty amusing NSV. I had a sore hip joint for a couple of days and couldn't figure out why. Was it my loaded squats? Was I walking wrong? Finally I figured it out. I've lost enough fat from my thighs that it actually was pulling my right leg into an uncomfortable position and putting tension on the muscle. I put a pillow between my knees, instantly felt better.

Going out to eat meal arrived and felt it was way too big a meal so I boxed up half. Never done that before!

I have been continuing to get consistent compliments from the gym from strangers and even trainers too! I work hard, push hard, willing to go beyond my thresholds and fail, and it shows. I take my rest days too, but it seems like I'm getting noticed for putting in a lot of commitment, effort and fearlessness to go above and beyond. The other day a very excited regular ran up to me and said "What's your name?! What's your name?!" I told him, and then he quickly turned around to one of the trainers and said "She's the one I've been telling you about! She's the one! She trains hard and is here everyday!" The trainer laughed kindly, because he is actually my mentor! It feels good to be noticed. Getting attentionis not my reason for training that way, but it sure boosts my confidence and keeps me going when I think I don't have it in me to do another lift, but I'm willing to go that extra mile am able to do some more anyway! I'm so grateful for the positive support all around me!

Scale hasn’t been budging recently and I know that can be for so many reasons .

But—when I measured myself today, it confirmed that I had lost 2.5” off of my waist, 2” off of my hips, 1” off of each thigh.

I shrunk out of my favorite belt! Had to order a new belt strap today.

My wedding rings fit!! My rings stopped fitting a little less than 3 years ago when I was pregnant. Last Friday, my "stand in" ring broke because the band is thin and soft. I was annoyed and decided not to even bother getting it fixed since this was the second time. Instead I went hunting through my jewelry box to see if I had any old rings that would fit. For the heck of it, I also tried on my wedding rings with no expectation of getting them on. But I did! All the way. They are still uncomfortably snug, so I'm not actually wearing them again but just knowing they fit and I'm only a few pounds away from wearing them is so motivating.

I always love these ones! Yay for wedding rings fitting again!!!

Today I noticed that there was space in my bra where boobage used to be! I'll take it!

I have a couple this week!

- I look decidedly smaller in photos and in the camera when on a web conference
- I wore a size 48 (18?) shirt that a couple of months ago was a handswidth from doing up
- I gave a speech at a large fair, and it went well. I always feel like I will die from nerves beforehand and this was the biggest stage (150 seats) and largest external audience I’ve ever had.

I also made it a goal to be kinder to myself. I went to the dentist last week (haven’t been in 2 years) and in the process of talking to me about dental care she said “you deserve nice teeth” and I thought “she is so right, I do”. So there are a couple of wins related to this also:
- I bought myself flowers for the first time ever
- I bought myself an electric toothbrush and prioritised time and money for a professional teeth cleaning (so glad I did, those pearly whites are now also distracting me in web conferences!)

I’m excited to report back with more kind-to-myself wins in the future!

Ran an entire 5k. Less than 9 minute miles. According to Nike app, it’s my fastest one ever. Also had my fastest 1k and 1mile times.
Number 4 in my age group by 10 seconds. If only I had started my kick a little sooner.

My parkrun time this morning was soo slooow.

But there were mitigating circumstances as the course was a bit of grass, lots of mud and tons of water - reminiscent of Shrek's swamp. It was like wading through treacle and was really very difficult to run safely anywhere on it, especially once it started raining again (it absolutely hammered it down, DS and I were soaked through to the skin in minutes) and people were sliding, slipping and falling over. It was truly a nightmare.

But you have to take what you can get and it was the only parkrun available to us as most of the runs within a 50-mile radius had been cancelled due to flooding, winds, etc.

I consoled myself in the only way possible - that I was still faster than everyone who didn't make it out of the house this morning

It’s been a great week in the gym. 40 lb squat PR! 300 lbs!

In the process of looking for a house I went up and down stairs and didn't lose my breath or have my back and feet complaining. If I feel this much better with fifteen pounds off, what will the next 85 do for me?!

Went to the cinema and didn't get popcorn.

Been having a few really downish blueish blehish days, but I am not allowing myself to just use food to feel the void.
