What's Your Most Recent NSV

Ghostofachance

I have a few NSVs. 1) Two weeks at home so far and I haven't let my eating habits go completely to pot. 2) I'm finding a way to workout every day. 3) Most importantly, my wife and I have been getting along well and working hard to help our teenage son navigate his feelings about all of this. I think the lack of a regular schedule and not seeing his friends is taking a bit of a toll on him.

Husband bought me a shirt as a surprise. It's an XL and a little too big.

Also my preferred aesthetic is oversized t-shirts so even if I get to size small I don't think I'll be replacing most of my shirts.

One week home, only one day of poor nutrition

My yoga pants are baggy, glad I have sewing machine so size adjustments can be made rather than purchasing.

When I stand with my ankles together, I have a gap between my calves now! I didn't have that before.

We had an issue last night that ended with Boyfriend needing to go to the hospital. I couldn't go with him. But I did not make brownies, or eat everything in the fridge. I talked it out with Girlfriend and then went upstairs, took a bath, and went to bed.

He is very sick, feeling very sorry for himself, and swearing never to do that stupid thing again. I thought he had the sense not to do the stupid thing in the first place, but there ya go. (sigh) He'll be okay, just miserable for the weekend, probably.

And on topic, I didn't know losing even twenty pounds would bring me so much of a feeling of serenity and competence in crisis. I can handle it. I'm able to manage, and I'm good. I'm really curious as to the changes that will occur for me as I lose the weight. Heck, maybe when I get all the way down to goal I won't clinically have an anxiety disorder any more. (That would be nice!) And I also didn't realize that there would be substantial mental health changes as well as physical changes.

I believe the mental goes along with the physical. The better our body feels we are even better mentally to handle stressful situations. Perhaps the anxiety disorder will dissipate as you continue on your journey and not wait to go away until you are at maintenance.
Happy Saturday.

I realised yesterday that my sport bras are no longer uncomfortable. I could barely squeeze into them at the start of the year and they were really digging into my rib cage.

Yesterday I voluntarily wore it for hours (didn’t shower after yoga and went for a long walk later in the morning) and realised that it was so comfy!!

Wearing pants that are the same waist size as I wore when I graduated high school almost 30 years ago. Size large shirts are loose. I was going to try on some medium shirts at Target today, but it seemed like a bad idea for some reason.

I have the flu - so I can't work out with my trainer....and I really can't go out much. But, so far, I haven't used it as an excuse to eat everything in the house and I haven't gained any weight.

My old jeans size 34's finally fit with room to spare. last year, I was busting out of size 42.

Newly purchased size zero corduroy fits comfortably for this petite 4'11" frame (please don't judge as still going for doctor's goal). I used to be obese on the Asian American bmi chart and wearing size 12.

Kaitie9399

Wahoo!! My BMI is currently a 24.8 which puts me in the 'normal' range for my height and weight. Wahoo!!

gradchica27

Went for my first run since last December’s 5k...2.8m, 8:24 min/mile! Didn’t feel awful, might even run again before December rolls around.

celinab07

I did the dreaded 20 minute jog in C25K today, felt great!

aerochic42

sort of scale related, ubt I'm proud of it anyhow. I lost 2 pounds on vacation and have managed to stay the same weight despite teleworking and without my dog (She's still with my in-laws who were watching her). I'm mostly not bored eating.

First Victory: I had been prepared to WFH for a while, but didn't consider doing so with my wife and son also needing "office space". So I have the kitchen table,...right next to the fridge,...and the cupboard with all the snacks, and after 2 weeks, I'm avoiding the temptation to reach any direction and go on an eating binge.

Second Victory: So far I've lost 30+ pounds with 10-15 to go. I've not purchased any new clothes. My T-Shirts are starting to make me look skinny as a rail!

darklyndsea

I don't have a thigh gap, but I do have a finger gap. Not sure if that's normal or if my left pinkie and right index are curved.

I'm in the 160s, which means I'm closer to being a healthy weight than to being obese!

Some of the new clothes I bought last year are getting to big.

Feeling confident enough to wear shorts 😊

My running jacket fits again and I’m roaring to start c25k. Picking up some headphones this evening and will do my first run tomorrow!

I have also suggested a monthly step challenge at work since we’re all WFH and trying to remember to go outside for fresh air and spring sunshine.

Worked out with Thor. And by that I mean a video of Chris Hemsworth working out on the Centr website.

Raked leaves for an hour yesterday and only feel a tiny bit stiff this morning. That amount of activity would have made me crazy stiff before.

my t-shirt sizes 1 year apart. XXXL to L
I actually fit into that dress on the left, I mean t-shirt, a year ago!

Like the "Old Man's Club" shirt. From Ranger Up?

nighthawk584

@alteredsteve175 ... yes, I believe it is from them. I bought it a few months back.
