What's Your Most Recent NSV

I touched my arm last night and felt honest to goodness muscles!! I had to touch it again. Which then turned me to touching the other arm...then I ran into my son's room and yelled at him to touch my biceps! Hahahaha...

They aren't big, but they're mine. And it's something I haven't had in years.

Reading all these NSV's is wonderful and so motivating! Great job, everyone, keep it up!

I have a few NSVs to report. One was today, actually. I wanted to wear some short because sunshine!! I pulled out my summer clothes box, but not feeling optimistic that anything would fit. Well, surprise! My fave shorts from last year fit perfectly! I've been struggling with my food choices lately and I haven't been feeling too great. But this really helped!
Also, I had to run to the hardware store for some play sand for my husband's work. The only bags they had were 25kg (55 lbs). I know I can lift that, but again, I've been struggling lately. I expected lifting the bags to be a challenge.
Not at all!!! It's funny, in the parking lot a guy started towards me to help me get them into my trunk but stopped short when he saw me lift them myself with no problem! He smiled real big, waved, turned, and left. I am on cloud 9 because of that!!
Lastly, Not only am I doing a circuit workout challenge at my fitness center, but I also signed up for the running incentive program! Totally on a whim, too; I used to run like crazy but have fallen out in the past year and wasn't really interested in picking it back up. I logged my first 5 miles this week, only 123 more to go to get a free water bottle!

My capris would not stay up today so I bought a new pair at Costco... size 14 just like my old ones but the old ones were very vanity sized - 2" bigger in the waist.

Anyway, I'm wearing my new ones and I sure hope they shrink in the wash or I won't be wearing them long...

I want to report my "better relationship with food" NSVs:

I forgot I had Easter candy leftover. I found half of a chocolate bunny yesterday while cleaning out my cupboard. I honestly just didn't have a craving for it, whereas before, I would have felt a strong need to eat it, and had to resist.

I can have cheese in the house without gobbling it up. I thought cheese was a trigger food for me, but now it's so much easier to have it in moderation (I LOVE cheese).

This evening, I was wondering what else to put on my tuna salad sandwich. I'm actually considering butter! Butter was always something that seemed out-of-bounds in the past whilst on a "diet", but now, I feel like I can fit it in and enjoy it.

My eating habits just feel so much more natural now, even while losing weight. It feels comfortable rather than a constant "check" to make sure I'm eating at a deficit.

My hot new girlfriend said I had a sexy chest and amazing arms.

My back injury (from the week before Easter) is starting to heal, so I was able to pull a bunch of weeds in the garden yesterday without doing any damage. Hope to be back to mountain biking again soon!

I signed up for acting lessons!

I've always wanted to do this, even as a child. I've thought about it off and on for years, but there was no way I'd be comfortable on stage until now.

I was very excited, proud and moved by myself. That lasted ten minutes before I started freaking out! What on earth was I thinking?!

Wore some old shorts I hadn't got into for years today and they were even a bit loose!

A couple months ago my husband added fixed arm rests to our Goldwing. My legs were far too big to fit comfortably anymore. The arm rests and supports dug into my legs everywhere. He had accidentally made the most comfortable motorcycle into the most uncomfortable motorcycle. I didn't want to complain, and hurt his feelings, so I just let it go. We hadn't gotten a chance to go ride together in a while (we have a 2 year old), but were able to today. The bars are no longer an issue! They don't dig anywhere. We rode for about 3 hours and I was comfortable the entire time!

I can actively see progress in the mirror. The fat goggles are starting to slip away.

@Madwife2009 , Where can we find this blog you tease us with?? Your stories are always so entertaining and inspiring I want to read the long version!

I've had the best freaking week! First, my scale victory: I am now officially in onederland!! My starting weight was 267.8 and I'm now 199.8. Now my NSV: I ran a 5k on Saturday (my 5th so far), and it was HOT. I was miserable the whole time. I kept thinking how much. I wanted to quit. But I finished and didn't stay around for the awards ceremony. Come to find out I won 3rd place in my age group!!!! I get a special medal and everything! Third: when I was taking my race bib off, I hadn't noticed the whole race but my bib number is my goal weight! So I put that thing on the fridge to remind me that if you want to reach your goals, you gotta work for it even when you don't want to and even when it's HOT!

Nah, you want this one:

Not much on there at the moment but it will grow . . . .


Now back to the main thread:

My NSV for today is that my son and I completed W5 D2 of C25K (two eight minute runs interspaced by five minute walks). I cannot believe that we managed it! Covered almost two miles.

Then I made the mistake of looking at Week 5, Day 3. Oh my word. A 20-minute run.

My son, when I told him that the next workout was a 20-minute run just said "No worries, Mum, we can do it!"

He's such a star. Love him to bits.

Working from home today for the first time in a while. I had bought a desk from target about a year ago and my legs just barely fit.. I had to wriggle my thighs under the desk to keep them from lifting it right up in the air. But today, I fit with no problem! I always thought those kinds of problems were because of my height, but I suppose all the extra thigh/butt fat didn't help either

Me talking to my husband about an interaction I had with another guy. Apparently I forgot what it felt like to be hit on because I didn't realize that is what the guy was doing. Here goes...

ME: So something weird happened at lunch today. This random guy at work decided to talk to me about his break up.
HUSBAND: (silence)
ME: Yeah, and I felt bad because he was opening up to me and the whole time I was just trying to remember his name.
HUSBAND: (silence)
ME: And then he sat down and asked me for advice because I was the first person he had said anything to.
HUSBAND: I don't think he was doing what you think he was doing.



I died!!

My trainer asked another trainer at the gym to measure my body fat today. It was 24 which equates to Fit.

And at the weekend I was doing laundry and tried on my granddaughters trousers and they fit me,

Lol! This has happened to me a couple of times recently. I guess it's flattering, but I feel really awkward about it.
