My NSV today was that I RAN a whole MILE without stopping, not power walking but actual running! It may not have been fast or pretty but I did not stop. I walked for a block and a half afterward, then started running again. Total distance running/walking (ie more running than walking :smile: ) was 3.3 miles.

    I went to my very first Zumba class tonight and made it all the way thru without anyone asking me if I was having a seizure...I count that as a definite victory! :-)

    I did five sit ups, in a row. Couldn't do any at all about two months ago.

    Went out with friends and was able to sit on a wooden bar stool for 1.5 hours without my butt falling asleep or the feeling I was being stared at for the overhang of tush.

    What is an "NSV"??

    And, how do you get those unique graphics for the pounds lost?

    Thanks,

    Was complimented by a body builder at the gym while I was doing assisted body-weight tricep dips (I'm down to only 8% assist) that I'm rather strong as I wasn't even shaking as I pumped out 4 sets of 12-15 reps each. Just makes me push to get to no assist body-weight dips!

    Made it thru 30 minutes of a 50 minute Bollywood dance video! I normally walk when I first wake up (and did this morning), but my hubby has started MFP and now walks in the evening. I had the tv to myself for 30 minutes tonight and I exercised! I know it's not much to some folks, but I'm pretty proud!

    I love Zumba! The music is so energetic.

    Great Job! Anything you do today that you couldn't do last year, last month or yesterday is a BIG NSV. Congrats :drinker:

    My NSV today was having several coworkers tell me that I was looking good! It's a such a good feeling to have others notice our hard work.

    I survived the cycle/pump class today! The instructor was tough on us today and a part of me wanted to quit half way through the pump part but I didn't! I stuck it out till the end!

    Instead of cancelling our Zumba class-since there were only 2 of us-we decided to go ahead! It made all the difference.

    NSV this weekend- my daughter looked at me and said "Mom-you have gotten so skinny" then turned to her brothers and said "hasnt she?". They agreed!!! Whoop-Whoop!!

    Zumba is sooo much fun BTW- I really think everyone here did Awesome!!!:flowerforyou:

    Today's NSV - my son (9 months) was sick and threw up on me 3 times, on the floor once, and in our bed once. On top of that, I bundled him up for a visit to my parents - and my car wouldn't start. Waited 2 hours for a boost. Car was then working, but couldn't get the radio to work because of anti-theft system (couldn't find the code - so, will have to call the dealership). Normally, this type of day would lead me to binging - but I sucked it up and ate some fruit!

    I'm more proud of yesterday's NSV - was supposed to go out for lunch with my husband - but he was sick..so, I ended up going to the gym instead..and again, instead of treating myself with food afterwards, I took a nice bubble bath and read a book!
