I did my first Mud Run today. Even though I am recovering from a *terrible* cold and sinus infection that kept me from the gym for a week, I at no point felt like I was going to die!

NSV 2 - Ive signed up for my first 5k in mid July - I have never run outside before and could only manage 5 mins on a treadmill. On Thursday I jogged for 1k around a park ... yay go meeeeee!!

I find running outside so much easier than running on a treadmill (despite my bum knees). I find it's also a much better workout because you're pulling yourself along instead of a treadmill belt pulling you along. Just my opinion. Some find it to be the opposite!

I loved it - and found it so much easier - cant wait for my next jog/run on Tuesday

The other day I squeezed into a size 16 jeans, and actually zipped and buttoned them. My highest size in jeans was a 24W (and they had spandex in them) !!, into a 14/16 or XL top from a 26/28. And my belt is a useless piece of leather. Y'all are outstanding!! :flowerforyou:

I avoided MdDonalds even though though my partner and our son had one!

went into a hiking shop, bought awesome craghoppers and I love them and they fit perfect, and my *kitten* looks awesome in them ;-)

I tried to do level 1 day 1 of 30DS, got seven minutes into it and realized I wasn't quite there yet. Instead of just giving up and sitting on the couch the rest of the day, I went on a 45 minute walk and burned 340 calories!

Great topic! Everyone's NSV is fantastic!

My NSV is that while I was at the grocery store this morning, my husband put a container with 2 slices of cheesecake in the cart as a treat for me. After debating and looking at the label for calorie count, I actually put it back and got a Yoplait light raspberry cheesecake yogurt as a treat instead!

2nd NSV- I had to go to the thrift store to get smaller size jeans today!

I have a long list that I started when I began my journey almost a year ago to keep reminding myself of these things that will soon be my New Normal so that I never forget where I was and why I never want to go back there.


Here are some of my favorite NSV's:

walking through WalMart, Lowe’s, and Sam’s Club and any other warehouse
size store with out being in pain, out of breath and searching for a place to sit

No longer fighting with my seat belt :grumble: ..love this one

Sliding into and sitting with ease in a restaurant booth, the feeling was priceless!

Dancing for 2 hrs in heels!

New Clothes, and old clothes alterations

Walking 8 miles at the beach



I couldn't do these things before but now I will be doing things I only dreamed of!

Buck yeah.... I went to a department store to get a few workout tops because I need a couple of sleeveless ones for warm weather. I tried a few on, and some other summer tops. Last summer, my t-shirts were all 2XL, and this summer, I'm wearing Medium! I just about cried in the dressing room. So I treated myself to a cute summer dress that was a little more than I usually would pay for a piece of clothing. But it was cute on.

On a related note - the "d cup" swimsuits are not intended to be worn by women who have assets several cup sizes than a D. *ouch* I was almost trapped in the darn thing because I couldn't get it off.

The school biology club went to the zoo. Unknown to me, most of the place is up and down HILLS (VERY unusual for this part of the flat world, let me tell you!) But, despite all of this, I was NOT winded, or ready to give up after almost 3 solid hours of walking through the place. (Knees are talking a little, but this is due to my skeleton having to rebuild, not because I was as out of shape.)

Today I am wearing a pair of size 29 Citizens of Humanity "pre- mommy" jeans that I bought 8 years ago. Only kept them this long because they were expensive. Still a tad tight, but they are wearable. This was one of my goals to be able to wear these jeans again. I know for a fact I haven't worn them in 4 and a half years.

My waistline! One more inch to go and I'll be below 30. All of my jeans that I wear don't need to be unzipped or unbuttoned when I put them on. They just slip right on! I'll also need to buy new belts because the ones I have right now are too big.

A friend of mine who used to be a model told me yesterday that I look like a model and she feels fat next to me.... I know she was just being nice b/c I'm a 10/12 and she is still a few pounds smaller than me, but it felt great to hear.

I ran for 3 minutes straight today and 5 minutes total as well as walked for an hour. Considering I weigh 333lbs, that's pretty awesome. Also, my workout pants are getting loose. I had some vague thoughts about worrying about them wiggling down today while I worked out.

Been out with a sprained ankle for about a month (thanks, gopher hole), not able to run or hike aggressively like normal, but I've been working back slowly with short and easy (under 3 mile) hikes the last 2 weeks, and today I felt strong enough to go ahead and schedule my first major hike of the season for this weekend. Can't wait!!!

You know what? That IS pretty awesome. Take it easy as a beginner, though. You don't want to burn out or get injured. I kinda started out like that when I first started running over 20 years ago. I had never run before and was taking these hours-long hikes and one day I just felt like maybe I could run for a few minutes here and there. I was super slow and mostly walked for the longest time because I was weak in the cardio, LOL. I think I got a little too eager after I started running, because I over did it and kept injuring myself. I'm a wise old runner now, though, so I listen when my body gives me warnings. Have fun and keep at it! :flowerforyou:
