What's Your Most Recent NSV

Sand_TIger

Awesome NSVs everybody! Today when I was in the grocery store there was a tight squeeze at the check out (one of those way too thoroughly accessorized checkout lines) and I was expecting to have difficulty getting through to unload my cart. NOPE. I had room to spare. What's better, I thought about reading an NSV like this, from this very thread, several months back when I was newer to weight loss. At the time I thought "NEAT!" Now I think "HEY! That's ME!" I have a ways to go but the ol' belly is shrinking a lot.

I logged all my food today and even stayed under maintenance! Quite a feat considering the cookies and nachos. I might be a little more lax tomorrow because it is Christmas Day, but Christmas Eve went very well.

Without really thinking about it I took tiny slivers of cake, half a cookie etc of all dishes at the Christmas meal this year. I think this eating-like-a-healthy-weight individual is getting ingrained!

Hit my Xmas stretch target a day early and rewarded myself with a rummage into my old clothes. As a result I am in UK size 12 skinny jeans for Xmas day rather than bulging out of my size 14 “comfy” clothes.

Today was Christmas day, but it was also running day, and I made the two work together.

As it was a cold but sunny day, and I was in such a good mood, I ran twice the time I had planned at first. Kind of a gift to myself. I felt great after the run. Jeez, I still feel great now, and it's been several hours since I got back home and landed on the couch watching movies.

Today on Boxing day I achieved my big steps goal. 1,000 days of a mininum of 10,000 steps per day

My daily average over the last 12 months is 18,250 steps but I have a few rest days in there that are really really just over 10k Including needing to pace my bedroom to get to the the minimum

When I weighed myself on Christmas morning, yesterday, I found that my efforts to turn things around have really paid off this past week. I found to my great delight that I have lost 7lbs since my last weigh in! That works out at a pound a day as I weigh myself once per week. I have got down to 13st a weight I haven't been for four years, and I am just one pound away from my mini goal of 12st 13lbs! On Christmas day I only over indulged a little and this morning I have done 30 minutes on my mini stepper burning 331 calories. I am so pleased that things are going well after the discouragement of the previous 2 weeks of having put on 2 pounds per week. I knew I could do it but what a great surprise 7lbs was!

Did you know you have a brachialis? I didn't until I felt it in the shower yesterday...and remembered to look it up today. Finding "new" muscles is a great feeling.

I didn't know, but now I do, thanks to you.

I squeezed into a size 16 pair of pants recently. They buttoned but weren't comfy. Yet. I looked cute and not blobby in Christmas photos with my hubs

I don't know how "real" this is BUT I've been doing strength training for about 2 months now and am starting to feel my biceps under my fat and when I flex a muscle pops up and it can be felt! Also, my quads feel harder and my legs have a little less jiggle over all. Can't wait to do my monthly measurement!

I bake cookies with my daughter for our friends and neighbors every year at Christmas time. We both wear aprons and, this year, I was able to bring the belt of my apron back around to the front and tie it in a bow! Last year, it barely tied at the back.

Yes! I had a similar apron victory a couple of week ago. Felt awesome, and I was able to tuck in a tea towel to the belt for easy access too.

I just jogged two miles in 31 minutes, with only a short (~1 minute) break in between the miles. It felt so good! About 10 years ago I had gotten into jogging and worked up to running a half marathon in 2.5 hours in 2011. I'm a far way from there, but making a good start!

Another NSV I just thought of: I regularly eat vegetables with breakfast now! Today's breakfast was 2 poached eggs with a large zucchini, pan fried in a small amount of butter, and some wilted spinach. 250 calories, and very delicious!

My latest NSV is that I've come in under my sodium intake for 5 days now. I used to eat 4k+ mg of sodium a day and now I'm getting around 1.8k!

I mark the inside of my belt every time I lose a hole. Today I moved another one.

Over the years I've amassed a collection of T-Shirts that do not fit. Too small. Mostly gifts from people that guessed my size incorrectly. I kept telling myself, "someday..." Well today was the day. Grabbed a random one from the drawer and tried it on. Last time I tried this shirt (the day after some Christmas years ago) it was uncomfortably snug. Today, fits perfectly!

Yes, I'll have to buy some new clothes - but I also have a drawer full of "new to me now" T-shirts!

I'm wearing size 4 or 6 and smalls in most things. Mediums for things I like looser. I told myself I wasn't going to be smaller than a large due to my bust, and it certainly hasn't shrunk and it means I can't fit everything if bust room is required but that's fine. I feel like parts of me are still quite flabby but most of me has gotten quite small. Here's hoping I can improve my body comp in 2021.

*I bought a shirt off the shelf at the regular size people store. Sure it was there biggest one, but still it fits fine. Normally I have to go to the big guys store or shop online.

I know exactly how you feel with this... I hated walking through a store & see something I liked, only to realize it won't fit. Sometimes you can get a larger size online, but not always. Just recently, we decided to update our family photos & I needed a new shirt to match the color scheme - what do you know, I found one at Old Navy that actually fit - and looks pretty good, too.
