    All right...I can figure out from context that NSV means good stuff from getting in shape. I cannot for the life of me figure out what it stands for. A vowel anyone?
    No Scale Victory =)

    -completed 5ks, 10ks, half-marathons, and sprint triathlons
    -doctors referring to me as "an athlete"
    -feeling my arm and shoulder muscles
    -walking around an amusement/water park all day in a swimsuit and shorts
    -coworkers coming to me for food and workout advice
    -buying a size "small" - this one still feels weird!

    1. I no longer look pregnant and I've lost 33 inches!
    2. The plastic toilet lid doesn't cave in when I sit on it.
    3. I went to buy clothes today and accidently tried on what I thought was a pair of 10 Levis, squeezed into them and they were tight but I zipped and buttoned them. Took them off and was upset,, until I realized they were actually a pair of 6's. An 8 fit!
    4. I can hike 10+ miles.
    5. I can see my feet in the shower and a towel covers me without a gap. yayy
    6. I'm 50 years old and I look hotter in boy shirts than women half my age. Not that I'd wear them in public tho. I have awesome legs now!
    7. I can tie my shoes without taking in a deep breath to bend over and I no longer have food come up my throat when I tie them either. (ACK)
    8. I can push mow the entire yard. It's about a mile on my gps tracker.
    9. I dropped a blood pressure medication. Just 2 weeks ago and after -35lbs.
    10. I'm doing C25K.. on week 3 day 3 tom.
    11. Entered a 5k for August
    12. I can beat my labrador running up the stairs.
    13. I'm stronger!
    14. I can't fit into ANY of my old clothes, unless socks count. They are all too big!
    15. I can jump onto my porch without using the stairs. It's about 3feet high and I'm 5ft 3 lol

    I could go on and on and on!

    I just started but my best so far was my husband saying he's noticed how much I've slimmed down already. Hooking my bra on the first set of hooks instead of the last, and no longer an XXL in a lot of clothing.
