NSVs....2 big ones in 24 hours!

As I write this, I'm sitting on the couch, dog passed out cold next to me. Ice packs on both knees to prevent swelling and any residual pain...because today, I did my first 10K walk, averaged 4.04 MPH! I met a good friend of mine who normally does marathons (she's recuperating from minor injury and can't run) and she whipped me to my fastest walking speed ever, and when I told her I hadn't done a 10K - she proved that I could.

And I did. And I wasn't out of breath. And the dog kept up great too!

This comes after I pulled every pair of pants out of my closet and tried them on last night. I did this, because last week - when I was out on my business trip, I almost pantsed myself in the airport with a pair of jeans that are now so loose they almost fell off! So to avoid that on next week's trip, I decided to eliminate that possibility from happening again.

I found 2 pairs of capris in my closet that I haven't EVER worn in public. They were too tight back in 2006 (I know...carrying around crap that doesn't fit...sigh), and I pulled them on last night and they are a little snug on the waist, but BIG everywhere else!

This, right here? Best feeling in the world!
