What's Your Most Recent NSV

I noticed this week that my morning bike commute seems to be a little faster. Afternoon one, too.

It ~seemed~ to get a little slower in the fall, but that was an anomaly. There's a shortcut through a field by my house that cuts about between 40 and 90 seconds off the ride. I can't take it once we get wet weather. I was back to my short-cut time a couple days this week even though I had to take the "long" way around.

I did fifteen minutes on the mini pedaler as a warmup before my weights workout. When I started that would have BEEN the workout. And I wasn't tired afterwards.

Back for another NSV. I dunno if it was my outfit today, or just the dawning that I'm so close to my first 20 pound milestone, but I felt and looked thinner to myself. I even confidently took a full body picture that I felt good about

My gardening/hiking pants were loose today. These are pants that I've had for a long time that usually fit "just right". The fact that they got almost too tight to button is part of what got me on the current weight loss journey to begin with. Now they are loose. I can't really wrap my head around that.

This is sort of a NSV but it does have to do with my scale. My fat % is no longer high but moderate. (Even though they arent very accurate) Next one down is normal, which I'm longing for, eventually.

Today's NSV was that I ran around the park with my dogs. When they went outside and saw it had snowed, they got excited and wanted to run and play. Back in the day, I would have been straining to pull them back and get on task, but now? I took off running with them and we had a lot of fun playing in the snow before heading back inside.

Did my favourite walk in The Lake District (UK) at Easter. The first part normally takes about 1h40mins with at least two stops because it's so steep and I am so out of breath, I'm also usually shattered half way round the walk back. This year I did the first part in 38 mins with no stops at all and completed the rest of the walk with energy to spare. I was a very happy lady indeed that day.

That is absolutely brilliant! You must be so chuffed! xx

2 people commented on how long my legs are today. No one ever seemed to notice before.

Yes!! isn't it wonderful that dropping weight can drastically (in my case) lower blood pressure!! And a pulse rate of 51 too!
Good for you!

Today I had to move to a smaller belt hole! It's the little things that make me smile!

Yesterday (MLK Day in USA) in NW PA it decided to have a 17" snow storm. I had the day off from work so I decided to do some meal prepping. I had a friend who needed some medical supplies, so I went out (thank you landlord for shoveling my long driveway so I could get my car out). I decided that as long as I was out and about I would stop at the gym and do my regular routine. I amazed even myself.

Finally broke 30 mins in a 5K run on Sunday.

Ran a 29:22 in 19° weather!

V proud of myself! Went to Olive Garden for my daughter's birthday, at her repeated request I checked the menu for any options I liked (went with Shrimp Scampi), only ate 1.5 breadsticks, had extra salad without croutons, and only ate about half of my own pasta so I could have a few bites of my daughter's birthday dessert. That came in at about 800 calories. That's big for a dinner for me at the moment, but as the average per-main-course calorie count at Olive Garden is about 1200-1500 calories, I'll count it as good. And for the day, I was only about 125 over my calorie goal. Yay!

I love this so much!! Congrats!! I, too, have gotten to this point and I think it feels better than the actual change in clothing, weight, etc. Way to go!!

I had gotten to the point that I no longer could wear XXL and had to start shopping at stores that exclusively sell plus size clothing. Selection was terrible, the clothing was terribly put together, and insanely expensive!

NOW, I can shop anywhere I want to again AND I can buy XL clothing and it fits me every time - I even recently bought some clothing in the juniors section in XL and they fit. Woohoo!!!

I am on my way to that dream pair of jeans at the Express!!

@FABRICWOMAN
WOW! The Lake effect will do that to you in NW PA. We only got about 4-5" here in the Harrisburg area.

NSV = Non Scale Victory

hey, thanks. i had been wondering for a while

Success last night.

Yes, I ate late, but that's because that's when supper came out of the oven. I had a bunch of Yukon Gold potatoes that needed to be cooked, and I tried an experiment of something I've never made before. Pretty easy, and used my Dutch Oven.

I could have eaten it all. I went back for seconds and then a little more, but I saved about half to reheat tonight. That's the success. I was able to tell myself that I wasn't hungry really, and in fact I'd get fuller, and I just wanted to keep eating because delicious. But I didn't. Yay!

In September I went to the doc for a cough and my normally normal B/P was up, so was my weight. When I saw her in October, my B/P was not as high, but she still wanted it monitored. I had started back on MFP 10/1 and had lost about 5 lbs. I promised her I'd lose more weight, and if my B/P didn't come down, I'd consider meds. At that point she looked unconvinced and told me not to be disappointed in myself if it didn't work out. I went in 1/4, and not only was my B/P down, my weight was also down 17lbs on her scale (only 15 on mine which is what I follow). She was more excited than me. I've still got about another 15 to lose, and my next goal is to get off my low-dose cholesterol medication.
