What's Your Most Recent NSV

It's sort of an NSV.... I couldn't buy any of the clothes I wanted at Walmart because they didn't have sizes small enough. A medium is slightly big on me and most of everything they had only came in L to 3XL

Hiking. Really falling in love w/ this.
Seeing that size 40 pants is too big (time to donate), 38 too big most of time, wore 36 shorts today.

I eat 5 cookies. So trying to loose weight that's not the victory, but what I did afterwards is. Firstly I acknowledged that I shouldn't have brought in cookies to work; they are my weakness and although my intention was to share that didn't happen. Secondly I acknowledged that I had eaten too many and threw the rest (3) away. Thirdly I still planned to eat dinner (in the past I would have skipped to be within my calories and as a sort of punishment; but that's not healthy and usually means that the next day I'm craving fast sugar because I'm starving). Point 4 I did not further sabotage myself; even though there was a little voice that kept telling me I could have the cheese and dessert because I'd already blown my calories.

In the end the day turned out ok because I went to the gym and pickings for dinner (work supplied) were slim so I had a slice of roast beef and steamed kale (the only green and undressed vegetable they do).

Now talking about it I want more cookies (because they were delicious); but because I had already prepared and knew that following my binge my body would want sugar today I picked up some melon slices, so will have those instead. So I guess that's good outcome number 5!

I haven't been working since May (I just graduated from law school and have spent the summer studying for the bar exam). Last week, I thought I'd look at my work wardrobe because I'm starting my new job at the beginning of September. I cleaned out my closet of all of my work clothes that were too big and I had nothing left! Over the course of the summer I've only lost about 8 lbs, but I started lifting and lost inches like crazy. The smallest things in my closet were a 10, and the things that fit now are either a 4 or a 6. Next week, after the bar is finally over, I get to go on a wonderful shopping trip to replace my working wardrobe. So excited!

Also, last week, I had to buy a new pair of jean shorts for the rest of the summer. I went to old navy and the shorts that fit were a 4! I couldn't believe it. 10 years ago, when I was in high school, I bought most of my clothes at old navy because they had size 20 and xxl. I walked out of there last week with xs shirts and a size 4 pair of shorts. I still can't believe it.

I went from couch to 10 k in 33 days(never even ran as a kid--hated it)--and ran my first 10 K in 1:02:00. My 25 year old son ran his first 10K, and texted me to say 1:04:35 My NSV was the screen shot of my time to him-- and his "WOW"! Lasted 42 minutes on Jacob's ladder at 68-70 pace POURING SWEAT but kept going! Could only do two minutes 3 months ago!

Wow, so impressive! Great job! How long after finishing the program did you run your race!

Got up at 5am and went for that bike ride.

47 miles.

It was a tough ride. Mostly uphill. I forgot how hilly my county is. It looks so different from a car.

About halfway round, I'd had enough. I wanted to go home.

But, because I am so bloody-minded, I kept going.

It just went on . . . and on . . . and on.

That's the longest bike ride I've ever done.

I have no idea how people do century+ rides. They have my total admiration. I don't think that I'll ever be able to go that far.

My neighbour saw me return and asked how far I'd gone. He almost died of shock when I told him (note to self: be careful of what you say to older people).

My husband was "HOW FAR???"

My son's reaction was "Why not 50 miles? You could have cycled to the local shops and back, that's the three miles you needed!".

Thank you, child.

At least I beat the rain back (20 minutes after I get home, the skies have opened and we're back to torrential rain).

Glad I went though. I may try again next Sunday (I have to do this route on a Sunday as it's along a main road and the traffic Monday to Saturday would be lethal).

I'm going for a soak in the bath (if I can bear the pain of sit-bones on metal).

This morning, someone asked if I'd lost weight. Someone who has only known me since I started losing weight, who I met roughly halfway through my losses so far. (I checked my records!) And yet my loss was still visible to her.

I must be looking goooooood.

We bought new lawn chairs recently. I was flipping them upside down to get all the crepe myrtle flowers off the seats when I noticed they were labeled maximum weight 225. When I started tracking on MFP in February I weighed 247. Currently 187. So when I started out, I would have been too big to safely sit in my new chairs, but now I'm fine!

Finished my first round of PiYO today. Been working out for a while, but that was no joke!

Thank you . . . and yes, I am going to get the bike out again later if the rain ever stops - thought I'd do another 13 miles, round it up to 60, just because I can

@Madwife2009 Where I live, there are bike races that are in 25, 50 and 100 mile increments. You're set to do a 50 mile race!! That's so impressive!

Tweaking_Time

I just finished my first official Sprint Triathlon at the Missouri Show Me State Games. I had two goals.

1. Run the entire 5k.
2. Do not come in last.

I managed to meet goal #2, but missed out on goal #1.

BTW - the total estimated calorie burn for the 1/2 mile swim, 15 miles bike and the 5k is about 1,800 calories.

JaydedMiss

went a bit crazy today had a huge birthday lunch and then went to dollar store bought to much chocolate then the grocery store and bought a 4 pack of delicious squares with a grand total of 1760 calories in the squares alone. Yes i ate a good majority of the stuff, Well over my calories and plan to be all week. SO my victory came when i managed to give away the remainder of my junk i had enough i didnt need more, Especially knowing the calories werent going to be as good as the rest of my bday week plans lol. Prioritized my uncontrollable nomming LOL.

Mini win but a win. I did cut up 1 bar and the remaining 2 squares and stuck in freezer, Bought 5 pounds of strawberries and 2 pounds blueberries tho to snack on instead XD yummy. Now to go for a walk

Amazing; I love reading about your adventures and triumphs. Great admiration of you. When you had "only" done 47 miles you could have told your son that you had done 75km; nice round number for him. But then you went and smashed out the 60 miles.

I can run (not fast), but hate cycling; which is a shame as my husband loves cycling and should probably do more of it. Hmm maybe next time I'm home I'll arrange a short flat cycle ride by the river.
