FRIDAY NSV - Post yours below!

knitapeace

I didn't consider this an NSV but my friends list assures me it is. I dropped out of a weight loss challenge here, because I'm on week 2 of a new strength training program and actually *gaining* a bit. I was feeling incredibly low this morning at my weigh-in, even though during my morning workout I was feeling strong and healthy. I decided to drop the challenge, accompanied by its required weekly weigh-in, and leave the scale to gather dust for a month or so. And that was a good decision for my mental health, as well as my ability to give the strength program the time and patience it requires.

I wore a pair of pants yesterday that I couldn't button up 2 months ago!

Made a healthy decision to not consume alcohol calories on thirsty thursday with my work..... This means NO hungover/ beer gut feeling on friday! Yayyyy! And I wore shorts to work.... Would never have done that 3 months ago.

I mowed my lawn this morning (in flip flops) and the grass was still damp, so it stuck to my feet. When i came in i was able to lift my feet into the kitchen sink and rinse them off. What? Doesn't everybody do this?

LOL I do this and I thought I was the only one who did! Awesome NSV!!!

I am a 3 month lurker and have never posted, but I am so excited - my son is able to hug me all the way around - and clasp his hands and my younger daughter can clasp her fingers. First time....ever in their lives!

These are my favorite posts! Congrats to everyone, not just on your NSV, but on stopping and taking the time to think about your hard work and how it is making a difference in your life! Reading these just make me happy!

I was having a really hard time trying to think of one for myself, because, frankly, I've gained 4 lbs this summer and that's just depressing in any light. You all don't know my history and I won't get into it. I'm the healthiest person I know and extremely active... the 4 lbs is due to going WAY overboard on vacations and just not working as hard lately as I should be.

But, anyhoo..... I realized that my NSV is that I'm okay with the 4 lbs. For the first time ever, I'm happy with the way I look and I feel fantastic. I have goals and I'll get there. But, that 4 lbs? It'll come back off. Hard work pays off and once summer fun is over and I buckle back down I'll lose it.

*raises hand*

Or...I used too but my husband won't "let" me wear flip flops to mow anymore. Something about it seeming unsafe due to my lack of gracefulness. lolol

Another one:
My new work shirt is loose around the boob area!!! It is a men's medium and it that size is usually tight in that area.

I can appreciate how hard this is. Water up to 6-8
Diet Pepsi down to less then 1 20oz a day, used to be 2 liter a day habit

I had to tighten my Fitbit band another notch; it kept spinning around on my wrist. We won't even mention my wedding band! :laugh:

Got out my smallest pair of jeans and put them on and you guessed it - too big!!! I can take them on and off without even unzipping!! Leave for Jamaica on Sunday and won't feel bad about being in a bathing suit!!

My favorite NSV is my 17 year old daughter. She was weighing 152 lbs at the beginning of summer. She decided to watch her calories and get more exercise because of me and what I'm doing. As of weigh in this morning,she is down to 133 lbs and looking awesome!! I'm just happy to be looking thinner and my tight shirt is now loose.

I actually look smaller- I've been stuck around the same weight for a few weeks but my stomach is definitely shrinking

This week I realized I don't look like a "fat person" to strangers anymore, I look like an average sized person. Super weird for me & super awesome.

SO SO much of this ^^^.
