What's Your Most Recent NSV

Down to my last notch in my belt, gonna be time to cut some more pretty soon!

Intentional_Me

My mind is starting to shift from this:

-What goodies can I fit in my calorie budget today?
-I want to be thin
-my next goal weight is #

To:
-What do I need to eat to make sure I meet my macros today?
-I want to be healthy and strong
-My next goal is to enter a lower obesity class (and therefore health risk) and lower my BMI by this much
-What do I need to do to ensure I prevent as much muscle loss as possible?

Don't get me wrong, I definitely still enjoy my favorites but fueling my body was never on my mind before like it is now. It is truly a remarkable thing when your goals and mindset shift to wanting to be healthy, strong and able bodied.

Sooooo excited to finally have something to add!! (1) I've had to move my belt to the last hole and now I'm 1/2 inch past that (2) I now fit pants that I bought last year that were too tight (3) An xl gym top I bought on Aug 15th is verrry roomy now (4) I did 4 sets of lunges today (12/12 stationery, 10/12 walking), and I wasn't ready to die!! and lastly, I've eaten clean for the last 22 days. Slow and steady totally wins the race! Woot! Woot!

Some of you will know that I occasionally post here when I have an NSV worth sharing, but I want everyone to know that I read this thread. Every. Single. Day. Not only do I rejoice at all your achievements, it makes me reflect on my own and appreciate how far I've some myself. Often it's difficult to remain focused from day to day. So thank you. And keep them coming.

This week I have four...

✔️I thought not much had changed but today I saw a lady I'd not seen in maybe a year, and she said "wow, you have faded away!". She meant it nicely, and it made me smile.

✔️I have been inspired by a young girl I have friended on MFP (you know who you are). Although I have never "met" her, the positive energy and courage this woman shows is amazing. If she can harness this strength and stick at it, she will not only achieve amazing results, she will pass that strength on to others.
How do I know this? Because I think that maybe my own positivity is helping others in their journey too.

✔️Recently I was told I need further surgery and am booked in for two weeks time. The old me would have taken that as an opportunity to eat through the fridge like The Very Hungry Caterpillar and throw exercise out the window. The new me has other ideas.

✔️And finally, on Sunday while visiting my parents, my Dad pulled me aside and told me how proud he is of me. That whatever I'm doing is working, and that I look incredible for 43 years old. And THAT my friends, is the best NSV ever. Xx

Wonderful post!!!

Nearly lost my shorts on a run today. Had already replaced them once they got a little big, but the new ones don't have a pocket (didn't realise I'd start running at some point), so I used an old pair... Might have to stuff my key in my bra to avoid any embarrassing situations

I also finished the first 4 weeks of C210K, got that scary first 20 min run coming up soon and am equally dreading it and looking forward to it!

Slightly weird one but.. I looked down today and all I saw was boobs!
Usually there's boobs then a belly sticking out past them right below, I can't remember the last time I didn't see my belly. Its my motivation to keep going for today

So both my husband and I are doing this together. This morning I told him that I felt so confident that from now on I would just be walking around in my underwear all the time. His response "and that's my nsv right?"

Hubby has joined me on my MFP journey and signed up yay!

Hubby noticed this NSV lol - I used to have a really chubby neck area that bulged somewhat and now its disappeared, must be all the good nutrition...I have literally had it for years and now it looks like a normal neck so happy

I drove by a KFC earlier and didn't want chicken at all. Not even remotely interested. In the past when I went past one it made me want chicken even if I didn't stop and get chicken.

Just pulled a big batch of old clothing out of storage -- stuff I couldn't pull past my knees or get over my head before. Not all of it looks great, but I can pull most of it on and some of it even looks decent as is. It's like rediscovering who I used to be. I am near (happy) tears.

I've got two.

1. I ran for twenty minutes today without stopping. Holy $*(% I would not have believed that was possible even a month ago.
2. Despite thinking about it for the last hour, I have not had another pumpkin chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. And I'm about to get ready for bed so I should be safe until tomorrow.

yesterday my daughter had a 5-piece Popeye's Chicken tenders meal, with their fries and a biscuit. As she ordered I walked to the other end of the mall and bought a protein bar from the GNC. yes, I stole a bite of one of her chicken strips...a brother's gotta LIVE...but my 380 calorie bar more-than-fixed whatever hunger I had. Based on what I can find online, had she consumed her entire meal she would have eaten about 1100 calories! Doh!

Going on holiday on Monday need to alter my shorts because they are too big. Hubby says buy new ones but shops have now got Winter clothing in. Good job I can sew.

Oh YES! Got up that hill in second gear today rather than crawler gear!!

Signed up for my first 10K trail race in November, not being sure how well I'd be able to do. So on Saturday I did a practice 10K, on a trail, and I did pretty well. 10K in 1:11 (927 total climb)? I think that's a good start. Barring any injuries or derailments I expect to improve even more in the next 6 weeks, so now I'm really looking forward to it.

Kinda a long, powerlifted for twelve years, quit to raise kids, got fat, lost fat(50 lbs in 4 months), got into the gym, started powerlifting again, started crossfit too. 3 years ago everything came to a crash, surgery on knee, surgery for right shoulder(tore every tendon I got), ruptured and herniated a disc, several compressed,bulging and degenerated. But I'm back, will soon bench 405 in the next couple of weeks(385 right now).

Yesterday a co-worker from out of town dropped by the office. I've seen him once a year or so at meetings or at training for about the last 15 years. Yesterday he introduced himself to me. He honestly didn't recognize me. An nsv? Yes.

But here's my thought..... all those years did he just see an overweight person and never actually look at who I was? Does everybody do that? Do I do that? Or is it just our minds way of remembering a person I.e. Ryan is the guy with glasses, or Katie is the one with red hair. I don't know.
