What's Your Most Recent NSV

I'm not exactly sure what NSV means but, from the comments, I'm thinking it's an achievement. My most recent achievement is being able to walk 3 miles without sitting down for a break!

@soykk1995: Good for you! NSV = non-scale victory, and that is definitely one.

I'm not doing enough with my life 😱

I find that part of doing this for a couple years (for I started at over 100 pounds overweight) is to manage my calories so that I get sweets. These are not big things; sugar-free jam on my English muffin some mornings, a fun-sized candy bar after lunch, or a 100 calorie crispy rice treat an hour and a half before dinner is ready, and the cozy winding down of the day with cookies and hot drinks before bedtime, for 150 calories.

Well, I try to prelog, but I don't always get it done. Tonight after dinner, I checked my food log to see if I'd prelogged dinner or not, and realized that I had allotted myself a mini candy bar at dinner. For that matter, I had allotted myself one after lunch, and I hadn't eaten it.

I cannot believe that someone who used to eat chocolate chips straight from the bag if that was the only chocolate in the house would FORGET a candy bar.

I intend to eat it, since I logged it. It's sitting there on my desk. It's sat there for about three hours. I haven't gotten round to it yet. I might not tonight.

NSV. Serious NSV.

I went by our office yesterday (we have been WFH since March) and ran into our cleaner. She commented that I looked very nice and had I been on a diet? I really appreciated getting some external validation.

Another NSV might be that I’m obsessed with getting new clothes. I’ve favourited a bunch of stuff on my favourite second hand website which currently had a surprising amount of nice dresses (?!) that I’m interested in. I fully expect them to be a bit small on arrival but hoping to pull the trigger on a haul this weekend. It’s been years since I was interested in the type of clothing I’m eyeing now!

I got all of my water in for the last 3 days.

Managed to chop another 2 minutes off my half-marathon time this morning! 7 minutes more and I hit my target time.

I had the "there is no way I fit into this shirt....oh, wait, that's the shirt I worked out in two days ago" experience today while folding the laundry.

Sleeping better and my knee not hurting as much

I was playing around with my clothes, and tried to put together a specific outfit I wanted to wear last year but couldn't because it was too tight. Well, when I styled it earlier this week, it wasn't so tight and looked great

Yesterday is my usual cycling day, but it was so windy I decided not to go, and felt out of sorts all day. Today it was still super windy but I went cycling anyway. I didn't go for as long as usual (it really was miserable going into the wind), but I felt much better for going.

Okay so here is one I did not anticipate happening. Stayed long at church today to chat with people and a friend who I haven't seen in a while came up. We shook hands and he eyeballed me and said, "hey are you losing weight?" I said something like yeah and he said, "on purpose?"

...He thought I was deathly ill. Granted, I didn't feel so hot this morning, but i'll be danged if he didn't mistake me for a terminal case.

so, FYI, I guess 32 pounds in 100-ish days is enough to make people wonder if you're sick.

Honestly, I thought it was funny.

I finally have a thigh gap! Never thought it would happen

I rode almost 10 miles on my bike! That to me is a huge NSV because I could barely ride around the block before! I am going to continue to increase my mileage. There are lots of cool places to visit that are within biking distance.

I was on a zoom call with someone who I haven’t spoken to since before COVID and he commented I had lost weight and looked good.

I think this is quite a NSV since the video is face only, so while I’ve lost a significant amount in the last year I think it’s more obvious when you see all of me 😊

I got through a whole weekend without exceeding my calories budget!

Also, it's an NSV even though it's just by chance - all my nice carefully-chosen outerwear from the past few years still fits well enough to wear. I caught my gain before I couldn't fit into it for the chilly Canadian fall/winter.

I beat the year... 1020KM anyways. Met my goal of before my 63rd bday in mid-Oct. Mostly walking dog, virtual (drat 2020) 5Ks & 10Ks and some treadmill in the winter. I walk, I am not a runner.

This is my first nsv and I was quite suprised. After my bath, the towel wrapped around my whole body and i only changed my eating 17 days ago.

I put on 2 lb over the last 7 days and this morning I was soooo looking at a "feeling sorry for myself binge".... Not much of an NSV I hear you say....
Well, what I actually did was to eat 4 pieces of Ryvita Crisp Bread for breakfast and then head to the gym.
Clocked up over 5 miles (a lot for me) on the bikes and really upset my arms and shoulder muscles with the weights workout.
Feeling great now and raring to get some more weight off before the "Weights and Measures Day" on Sunday!
