It's not all about the scale

So, last week, I had to ride my husband's bike to work. I am NOT a cyclist, and it took me a half hour to ride and walk to work ( I had to push uphill). It was about 3 1/2 miles.

Anyway, I got there and my two co-workers and I were discussing weightloss. Both have lost about thirty pounds. After they listed their losses, I said, "I've lost twelve - and can ride a bike to work." Neither of them thinks they could do that and they both live closer to work than I do.

So, I'm pretty proud of myself. I love feeling strong and healthy - even if the numbers aren't as great as I think they should be.

That's an NSV if I heard one ... Not only the weight loss, but the personal fitness that you can actually boast about! Whoot!

I love NSVs! They're what keep me going between weigh ins!

Well done, you!

Great post! It ISN'T always about that number on the scale. Even skinny/light weight people can be incredibly out of shape. Good job!!
