What's Your Most Recent NSV

During the four days I spent at the cabin, I went on a run twice. TWICE. I’m talking about a place where my usual routine is pretty much netflix-cocktails-wine-bbq-sauna, repeat until you leave. Sure, I did all those things too, but I did manage to add some healthy exercise to the mix. Also, I did not buy chocolate to bring with me, but I did bring salad.

Only two weeks of C25K left before it’s time to, you know, actually run the 5K. At this rate I might be able to actually reach my 10K goal before snowfall this year.

My behind doesn't "eat" my underwear anymore.

I needed a belt for my shorts. They don't fall of yet, but the sag in a very unsightly manner.

I went to the beer garden yesterday and only had one small beer. No fries, no pretzel, no sausage - I was so proud of myself!

I'm on vacation in London and my luggage arrived a day late, so I had to go shopping for a few thing. I just grabbed a pair of size 8 jeans forgetting that UK sizes are smaller than US sizes along with a shirt and some underwear. Most of my jeans are a US size 8. They are only slightly snug straight out of the dryer!!!! After a few hours of wearing them they fit near perfect.

Took the children for a day out yesterday. We had to get up at (5am) to ensure that we'd get make it to the start of the nearest Parkrun to where we were going. I am slightly (but only very slightly) ashamed that I forced the children out of bed that early to satisfy my Parkrun needs. Not sure how the children felt but they went along with it, bless. My five year old bounced out of bed at 5am but the teenagers took a little more persuading.

The Parkrun was amazing, along a sea front. A gorgeous day and really friendly people. But the best, best, bestest bit was when my 13 year old, who refuses to run, said that he'd join me and his brother for the 5k. And he did! I was so proud of him, he was running/skipping/walking/plodding but he did it. I was so happy about it that I took a selfie of the three of us by the sea. I have never taken a selfie before (and generally scorn them) but I was just so thrilled that he'd done it (he was the last member of my family to participate in a full 5k Parkrun) that I wanted to capture the moment.

Then after that, we went to explore some castles which involved lots more walking, including a tight spiral staircase which was over 100' tall and must have had 250 steps. Halfway up my little one was saying that her legs hurt but she carried on and made it to the top. Well worth the climb as the views were stunning.

In all, a good day. 48 Parkruns under my belt now, my whole family have participated (which fills me with joy as I know that they'll keep going with it) and a lovely day out with my wonderful family. Tiring, granted, but a fabulous day.

Busy planning more . . .

At the mall yesterday, two of my weaknesses: JJill and 30% off drew me in. I haven’t bought much of anything lately, waiting until I settle in a “goal range” but I couldn’t resist an adorable pair of wide leg printed pants in a Small Petite and a black tank to go with.
I never would have chosen printed pants before, but they looked darn cute and fit so nicely. Wore them out to dinner last night

I wanted to go for a walk today but it was raining all day. I tried on a rain jacket I bought at my lowest weight 5 years ago - I haven't been able to even do it up for years, but today I could do it up and it fit decently (though a bit snug). I tried on some other clothes from back then and they finally all fit again. I've only lost 7.5kg and am still 10kg heavier than my lowest weight, so in a few more kg they should fit better

You're a better person that I am! I am 8 weeks into C210K and didn't run at all on a recent two week vacation. Though I did walk a lot. There is a run in my town every October and for the last two years I started C25K in the spring and was able to do the 5k run in October. This year my goal is to do the 10k run instead. We can do this!!

Everyday I walk three miles on the treadmill, I do a little bit of stretching before I start. This morning when I bent my knee and pulled my leg up behind me I was shock at how far I could bring it up. My muscles felt lose and I was able to bring my foot up to my hips.

someone referred to me as "tiny" yesterday

I got into a bra that I bought earlier this year that was slightly too small in the band.

I graduated Couch to 5K , last night.

Well, I can't see it yet, but oviously I must've lost some of the fat cushion on my behind, because my chair at work is suddenly so hard.

About two years ago I bought a couple of pairs of pants for work. Brought them home, tried them on, and they didn't fit. They finally fit yesterday. So I have some "brand new" pants to wear to work now. :-)

I haven't had a scale change in weeks, so I've been trying to find NSV's to keep my spirits up.

1) I can touch my toes!
2) I started couch to 5k, and I couldn't finish the first day, but a couple days later, I finished more than I did before. In fact I did the whole day, but had to adjust the amount of time running halfway through (from 1 minute down to 45 secs) where that is where I had to quit a few days prior.
3) My clothes are more loose, especially my pants.

I’m down 5 jean sizes!!! I started in a 30W and today I’m wearing a 20W.

Two recent size medium purchases - in tops and dresses, it doesn't surprise me, but I also got a pair of shorts in medium!

My dress that used to hit at the knee now hits below the knee, and looks way better hitting below the knee.

i ran 2 sub 11 min miles. at the start of the year 12min miles were a stretch

My determination has allowed me to be day 3 of no soda! Understanding the caloric intake with those drinks was astounding to me... I drank 1 or 2 drinks per day. That's almost 1000 extra calories a week in beverages.

I slithered into size 14s at the local consignment store. Thinking size 12s will be a good goal but happy with the mirror!

CarvedTones

Someone at work who was always commenting about my weight loss has stopped. This is just what my normal size is now; it's no longer remarkable. I have had this same NSV multiple times with different people.

I have several things that fit before but hang so much better now!

It is really hot today and I planned to just do a DVD inside. First my TV would not change the input---then my laptop would not open the DVD drawer. I was SO FRUSTRATED with our very very old tech, but I did a weight routine that I had used years ago anyway. (I know I could have gone to youtube--but by that time all devices were on my "you need a time out" list.) My made up routine took the same time as a DVD

AustinRuadhain

I had someone notice and comment for the first time yesterday!
And - same day - I found that I am getting more flexible and that a hurt knee is healing. I got through all of the hatha yoga series, with mods, but nothing skipped!

As a teacher, I just wanted to give you the BIGGEST shout out. Our PE teachers are forever getting parents asking them “why isn’t my kid hitting their fitness markers in your class?” And they have to find a polite way of saying “Because I see them for 3 hours a week. What are you doing with them?” Your kids are seeing their mum making the choice to get up and go (even when it would be seen as acceptable to sit down and stop, like on holiday) and it’s changing he way they view movement. You’re moving your family’s story to one of health and fitness and I think that’s AMAZING.

I bought 2 shirts today and both were SMALL!!!! I used to head straight for XLs.

Finally fitting into this romper!

Lora2380

Dropped off a large garbage bag of clothing to the donation bin that were too big... kinda freaking out but I don’t want to keep it with the intention of “maybe” I’ll need it again, I don't ever want to go back or have the excuse either.

On another note I had someone not recognize me at the beach today saw her again at baseball (small town) and when she finally placed who I was she couldn’t believe it was me.. it was a nice feeling.

robot_potato

Got re-fitted for bras, dropped 2 band sizes and I look like a whole new woman!

I tried on a bunch of fall/winter clothes in front of my girls (ages 12 & 15) and asked for their honest input. Some shirts I used to love, they said “nay” to and I asked why. They said they were way too big on me! Took 4 bags of clothes to the Goodwill today. Feels good to free up that space!
