What's Your Most Recent NSV

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.

I've lost over an inch off my waist and my hourglass figure is starting to present a little more clearly... feeling hot

I'm also working on a goal to run a 5k by this summer and I can now run two ~3-4 minute bursts while I'm out walking, I started at maybe 1-2 minutes spread over 2-3 bursts. Time is estimated because I measure by the song I'm listening to, not actual time. I used to run cross country in high school (and now realizing that was 10 years ago!) so I know I can do it since I used to do it all the time, it's just a matter of getting back to it.

This morning I went for 2021’s first run before the rest of the house even woke up.

Later, when my SIL asked if I wanted to join for an exercise video I said yes even though I had already worked out and didn’t have an extra change of clothes (2 good reasons to pass).

Then I borrowed a T-shirt from my brother. Men’s Medium and it was quite roomy

I swam over 700 miles in a year when my pool was closed for two months.

My most recent NSV --work with me here-- was raising my goal weight by 5 lbs. It's just more achievable, and still a perfectly healthy weight, and I feel like this is me accepting myself more realistically and I'm actually finding it motivating.

Buying size 8 jeans, for the first time in over 40 years!

One year ago, my average 'running' speed was 6,5kph and I was still doing walking intervals. Yesterday I managed to run a full 15 minutes at a speed of 8kph, at the end of a 1hr run.
