SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE! Unexpected NSV's what's you

Suzannejl

The other day I chaperoned my daughter's Girl Scout troop trip and got my biggest NSV surprise to date! I was able to climb a 45' wall, all the way to the top!!!!! I have often tried, but never suceeded farther than 1/4- 1/2. But this time I didn't even really tire till the very top, and by then the end was in sight!! I am so stoked, especially because the scale has been sooooooo slow to move for me. (kinda like a pound a month, if at al!) I defintely needed this shot in the arm!

So it's got me wondering what about you, my MFpals!?!

What's kind of unexpected NSV (Non Scale Victory) have you been surprised with? :happy:

I just had an NSV like that tonight! I always log my dinner after I finish my workout, which I did. Well, some bozo had the spanish rice I ate calculated wrong and instead of re-checking the package, even though I looked at it twice while preparing it and knew I was right, I just went with what they had and logged it. It put me 186 calories over my daily goal. I got so unhappy about it that I hopped back on the treadmill and went 15 minutes longer, only I jacked it up to 5mph and ran all but 4 minutes of it. I still only burned 181 calories, but then I found the right rice calculation and kicked myself...buuuuuttttt....3 months ago, I could have NEVER EVER EVERRRRRR gone 8 minutes RUNNING on a treadmill without gasping for breath and possibly falling over dead! So...all in all, I am 298 calories UNDER my goal and instead of it kicking me...I kicked the treadmill's @$$ !!!!! Thus, NSV!

wow! that is great, I can not run! Way to go!

You gave me some great ideas for bedtime though, then next time I am "54" calories over! lol
thanx

wow! Size 6! I haven't seen thatince my wedding day, and I think that was only because of my tiny bra size, not my big ol childbearing hips!!! I remember size 8, maybe someday I will see it again. I'm still in the 10/12 range, but at least now I'm on the smaller side of that range. Not like summers past where I needed to go buy new shorts!

thanx for sharing ladies, and keep up the good work
