    Well, this wasn't my first NSV, but two weeks ago, my husband was talking to one of our neighbors from the window of his truck. I drove around and stopped to talk to the neighbor. After I drove off, the neighbor asked my husband who I was. He said," That was my wife." ROCK ON PEOPLE THIS IS FUN!!!!

    I've had so many... but I think the most important one is this:

    Even though I sat for 2 months with the SCALE back and forth between the same 2 or 3 pounds up and down... basically on a plateau... I did not give up. I continued to exercise. I researched ways to break the plateau in a healthy fashion. I mentally smashed the scale, but I stayed STRONG. I did not falter in my eating, logging, or exercising. I never gave up on myself. Finding the strength within yourself to say "oh well, what would change if I just 'gave up'..." that is big.

    Well I had been pretty bummed with the results on the scale lately but I have been feeling ten times healthier. Anyway, I have been doing Power 90 for about three weeks and, as silly as this sounds, when I was doing crunches the other day when I brought my legs up I was shocked, not exagerating by the way, to see definitition in my legs. This is a big NSV for me because even when I was in my best shape, my legs were always kind of pudgy - I could barely ever make out the shape of my knees;-)

    I did my first 5K run/walk a couple weeks ago. Pretty awesome since I had been telling myself my knees were too bad to run. The key really is to just try. Today I did 2.7 miles in my best time so far. It motivates me to keep working at it and see just how far this old body can take me!

    My mom keeps telling me "your face is getting slimmer!"
    My 36" pants are too big
    I can see in the mirror my gut is smaller and flatter
    My belt is almost out of holes
    I passed on two boxes of fresh doughnuts at work from my fav bakery!!!!!! That was a huge moment for me.
