Non Scale Victory (NSV)

JenBrown0210

Had a hard day today. Needed something to pick up my spirits. So these are my NSV that have happened so far.
1. I start week 3 of the C25K tomorrow. This is the first time I have stuck with a program.
2. I did Jillian Micheals 30 day shred today and I CAN do jumping jacks. I can actually do them the whole time without taking a break!
3. I now fit in a medium pants from an xl and have gone from a 13 to 11 (USA)
4. I look forward to working out now. Its not a chore. I have done some form of workout everyday for the last week and a half. I found that netflix has on demand pilates and yoga dvds that I have been doing too!
5. My 3 year old knows that mommy is working out to be healthy, not to lose weight. We do not say anything about weight infront of my girls. When doing the 30 day shred today she was doing the moves with me and said "I'm going to be healthy just like you mommy"
6. My kitten can no longer lay on me when I'm on my side. She has to lay infront of me now because my belly isn't wide enough for her to lay comfortably on me anymore!
7. I haven't had a fast food burger since December. A McDouble with no cheese is my favorite. The only thing I have had is dunkin occasionly and a salad from McDonalds!
8. My hubby and I have a very fruitful love life now. Which I'm sure he is pleased about.

Those are my non scale victories. What are yours?

Love them all but this one is my fav!

I've seen so many moms talk about weight or pick at themselves on how they are fat when they're not in front of their children, and to me that is distilling bad views in your child.

So cheers to you!~! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

My mother always talked about how fat she was and told me I was going to be fat. I was never taught healthy eating. I have always had body issues even when I was skinny. So I am making sure my girls never feel the way I felt growing up.

Woah, lots of moments for you, good to hear!
I love how you're not talking about "being fat, have to get skinny...ugh! so fat" etc, in front of your kids. They pick up on everything, and it's good for them to know it's about being healthy. It's a lifestyle change, for sure. Kudos to you for that. It's cute they are doing your workouts with you! You are an awesome mommy!
I had a NSV yesterday...the jeans I normally wear were dirty, so I picked up a pair that never did fit me, they would button, but I couldn't bend over, or sit comfortably or anything. I wore them all day yesterday, they fit wonderfully. Love it!
Congrats on your accomplishments, keep up the good work!

Isn't that a GREAT thing to hear!! Today at Walmart my 7 year old DD asked if I could buy her some hand weights so she can work out with me!! She asked for this instead of candy or toys..

That is great! My girls no longer as for candy. Its can I have grapes or an apple. If we do not start the day with a banana they go crazy. She told me once that we have to go to the store because the bananas were all gone!
