A week of awesome NSV's

I've been eating only when hungry, running, jumping rope and halfway through stage 1 of New Rules of Lifting for Women.
Despite all this, my scale has been stuck in cement. Literally. Won't budge.
HOWEVER......
1 - In two months I have gone from gasping for breath after 30 sec of running to running 1 mile up and down some steep hills
2 - My work lab coat snags every drawer handle and doorknob because it no longer hugs my body but hangs loose on me
3 - My butt looks GOOD!! Whether I'm in sweats, dress pants, jeans or whatever, I notice my rear view is significantly better
4 -because of #3 above, I decided to try on the size 6 stretchy brown pants I bought for dirt cheap 4 months ago but couldn't wear because I was not fit to be seen out of my closet in them and ......they were perfect!! So perfect in fact that I paired them with a shirt that did NOT cover my butt.
5 - (This is the best one) After getting dressed in the aforementioned pants (and without a trace of makeup on) I was doing my hair when my 8 year old daughter came bouncing into the bathroom in her karate uniform and shouted the instant she saw me "YOU LOOK GORGEOUS!!" I grabbed her in a bear hug, said "Thank you baby" and I haven't stopped smiling all day. (Especially after she got out of the car for karate and threw in another "You look gorgeous" in a tone of voice that said "Seriously, if you doubt it, don't")

Awesome!!! That's really great. You've obviously worked hard, and even if the scale isn't reflecting it, your body is!! That's fantastic, nice job. :-D

What an awesome week you had!! And isn't your daughter just the best not only for noticing, but for telling you so!! You've got a great kid and by doing so well yourself, you'll be around watch her kids take karate! Way to go, girl!
