I picked up some furniture by myself the other day that was relatively easy to handle. A couple of months ago the same furniture was a nightmare. I am amazed at the strength I've gained just from two weeks of bodyweight exercises. Everything I do is becoming easier.24

Three NSV:
1.) For the first time in ages, I am dedicated more than ever to lose this weight and get healthy. I am in a place in my life where I have learned from all my previous failed attempts at weight loss and also that anything in life worth fighting for is going to be hard but also rewarding. I am worth the fight and the investment. Truly knowing and believing that last statement is my first NSV.
2.) Though summer is almost over, this has been the first year (and first summer season) that I have wanted to rock a plus size bikini. In years past, I would have been so self conscious that I would not have even been caught at a pool let alone in a one piece swimsuit because of my weight. I am beginning to love myself and my body now rather than waiting until I....(reach whatever goal I had). Loving myself is my second NSV.
3.) I am 9 days clean from sugar and I am also a baker. In a little while I will be making some Slutty Brownies as a dessert for a dinner with my brother and stepmom. Normally, this would be my downfall because I 'wouldn't want to miss out' and I would have one tonight with them (or maybe even before hand, ya know, as a taste test), but it would never end there. That one brownie would give me enough reason to binge on more sugar and ruin a 9 day streak. Nowadays I am not even stressing about it. Telling myself 'No' even in social settings where declining an invitation to eat something unhealthy is my third NSV.30 -

I run the 4.3 miles to work a few times a week. This morning when I was almost there, I decided to run as fast as I could down a hill. My pace is usually 14 min/mile. Running down the hill, I checked my Fitbit and it said 8 min! Shocking. I have never ever seen a single digit for my pace. Lowest I had seen before was 11min. And I didn't even feel like I was dying, although it did make me realize I need a smaller sports bra!!26

Today at work I was feeling like my outfit didn't look right and that's because my jeans are super loose on my butt/thighs!!!! These pants were borderline too tight a couple months ago24
-
I bit the bullet and finally hired a personal trainer. We had our first workout today and the success story is: I did not die.56

Did something funny to some muscles in my back/shoulder area. Severely inhibited neck mobility and a precise yet strongly radiating pain were the main issues come Monday morning.
-I did not use this as an excuse to become a complete lump in both physical activity and food choices.
-I also didn't freak the FREAK out about not getting in my normal workouts. (HUGE deal b/c I used to have a total addiction mindset, I can be very all or nothing)
-I looked at the problem logically. (I'm most definitely a feeler/dreamer) Sore/knotted muscles. Movement brings blood flow and warmth to said muscles for healing/stretching. I did modified bodyweight cardio/abs on Monday & on Tuesday (usually heavy legs) I did a bodyweight leg workout.
-Success! Both days led to a good sweat & nice warm muscles which lent to good stretching and some appropriate alignment "pops" leading to completely reduced pain today! On day 3!
-I'm so pleased in the ways that my regular fitness routine 1. Prevents this from happening more than it would. 2.enables me to make smart choices and provided the foundation for the limberbess I needed to help my body sort itself out.24 -
My regular hikes have a time limit of about an hour. I hike as far as I can get in about half the time - or until I begin to feel tired - then turn around. It's rough terrain and the views are great.
The NSV is that my hikes have been getting progressively longer, because I'm going faster. Last week, I almost didn't notice how far I'd gone, because I passed the halfway point without getting even a little tired. I felt like I could easily have gone on for a couple of hours.26 -
I just realized I have stopped checking the weight limits when buying sports equipment. I bought a kayak last week and never even bothered to check the weight limit or thought about whether or not my big butt would fit. Rewind a year ago to when I went kayaking for the first time and I had to ask the tour guide for a different kayak because I didn't fit in the first one I tried. I decided I loved kayaking and did some window shopping by checking the tags to see which kayaks would support my weight. Not any more.39
-
I stopped requesting a table over a booth because of the fear that my stomach wouldn't fit in the booth. (At my heaviest, sometimes I couldn't fit). Now I just sit wherever, even in the chairs with arms, I used to avoid those like the plague.35

I bit the bullet and finally hired a personal trainer. We had our first workout today and the success story is: I did not die.
@jaedwa1 My first trainer had a shirt that said:
Crawling is acceptable
Falling is acceptable
Puking is acceptable
Pain is acceptable
Blood is acceptable
QUITTING IS NOT

First day c25k - the NSV is that my husband is doing it with me! He has a sedentary job and really needs to do something active, but has been resisting the idea up until now. He used to be an Airborne Ranger and says he's already put in enough miles for one lifetime. So today he was the one out of breath while I was fine - and since we are both competitive, it's on baby!27

A 19-year-old gym bro told me I was "yoked" last night.23

We are going on a cruise next week. When I told my husband about my plans to limit alcohol and try to eat healthy breakfasts and lunches every day, he said he wants to do that too! And for himself, not just to support me.
If we had gone on a cruise any other year, it would've been a question of how much can we consume without exploding42 -
Yesterday I put on a pair of shorts that was very tight last summer and they fit perfectly.26
