First NSV worthy of shouting about!

Fiona_Bullough · July 2012

Hi All,

I guess I have had many NSVs along the way but none I have felt the need to shout about!

Today I CHOSE to go and mow the lawn!! I have NEVER done this as it is my hubby's job (lol!). But I thought about how good for me it would be, to get me moving. And I actually quite enjoyed it!

I did wear my HRM and log the 'workout' as it is not part of my usual activity and it was bloomin hard!! It was a crappy mower, lots of pulling uphill and the grass was long.

Anyway, hubby will be pleased when he gets home and I have managed to burn 471 cals! Everyone is happy!! :laugh:

Good for you!!! This is such a pivotal moment, when you realize your life is changing for the better and that you are now in charge of what you want to do each day, instead of your body being in charge and keeping you from activities. Definitely worth making some noise over

My husband works out of town for two weeks at a time. This last time he was gone...I also opted to go outside and do a large amount of yardwork that is normally left for him to do when he is home. He was so surprised to see everything looking so spiffed up, and even a new concrete pathway leading to the house made out of 12" by 12" concrete paving stones! I was so proud of myself when it was all said and done. Man it was a lot of work. It is not something I would have taken the iniative to do 63 lbs ago.

Congratulations on getting more active!
