So everyone's NSV this weekend/Monday? It's always good to keep track of the little things ;)

This was my first beach weekend of the year...avec bikini! I've still got a ways to go before I'm anywhere near looking as good as some of the tanned, super toned godesses, however the best part was that I didn't really feel self concious at all. It was awesome!!

Next?

    Today my "well- fitting jeans" are really baggy, in the legs and the butt! It looks like I'm sagging! Two weeks ago they felt a little two tight! :D

    Scale hasn't been budging lately and my clothes are fitting the same, but this weekend when I measured I've gone down a half inch at my neck and an inch at my waist! Everything else is the same. I knew I *felt* different though. I guess I'm just losing from weird places first!

    Went for a run with my husband and he commented that it's the longest he's ever seen me run without stopping :)

    We put away our winter clothes and pulled out the summer stuff so I tried on a few dresses from a couple summers ago which were too tight last summer and they FIT!! WOOHOO!! I can't wait to wear them again! :happy:

    I have two:
    Today I went out in shorts, and no-one recoiled in horror, (not even me at my own reflection ha ha!)
    And, I got on my bike for a short bike ride, which was the first time this year after a severe back problem.
    Felt pretty good about both :)

    This past weekend, I ran my first 5K at a faster pace than my practice runs! I also wore a top that I could not get into this time last year! :-)

    This weekend I went shopping for a dress for my Master's graduation. All the fitted dresses I tried on were a size smaller then what I wore for Christmas (Went from a size 16 to 14), AND they were almost too roomy! :laugh: PLUS, I bought a dress in a L, a 1st in a long time!:happy:

    My boyfriend noticing a lot of extra room in my jeans, and how strong my abs are becoming and telling me my hard work is obviously paying off!

    Personal-at a cinco de mayo party I filled up on the fresh fruit, and then instead of a traditional taco I went without a shell and put beef, salsa, lettuce, tomato, bell peppers, bean salad and a little cheese on my plate and skipped the dessert there. I did however get some frozen yogurt later...but I'm sure it was less calories than strawberry boston creme pie! Even a few months ago I'm sure I would have gorged myself at a party like that.

    Hmmm, my work pants are really loose. I will have to make some adjustments to them because they are loose enough to fall off if I don't use a belt. And, second, one of the guys who lives next door commented yesterday on how much weight I have lost. He doesn't see me often, and he is working hard to lose weight as well, so maybe he is more sensitive to it. Either way, he was highly complimentary and it was really nice that he noticed. :-)

    Oh, and the weekend before, my daughter saw me changing shirts. She told me I was disgusting. I said "huh?" Whereupon she told me I was despicable. When I asked why, she told me that she was seeing definite parts of my six pack forming on my abdomen. That was a big NSV for me! :tongue:

    My weekend NSV was that I finally felt okay enough to wear my bikini in the hot tub with people other than just the boyfriend there. Granted, it was dark out, but I still rocked it.

    Major walking all weekend and two great rides - over 10,000 steps each day.. A spin class on Saturday that actually made my knee feel better afterwards. I was surprised with all the babying of my knee I was doing to get to 15.5 miles. Also went shopping and trying on clothes. I can get into some 14s but still not completely comfortable but 16s are too loose. Bought a shirt in a Women's 16 when I use to be a 20/22. Lovely!

    Then on Sunday - kept up with my retired marathon running ex-boss on our 'catch-up with each other' walk for 4 miles in an hour and didn't even feel tired or sore. Then went for 7.54 mile bike ride with friends for an hour. And was charging up hills without a huge issue. Both my son and I were doing well, We just might make it riding bikes for commuting this summer. Tried that last year and he quit first and then I quit too as it was just so hard to get to work on time and last all day without fading out.

    I completed my first half marathon! I am not a very good runner, and about six months ago when I started training, I couldn't even run 1 mile!!

    One other I almost forgot. Last August I bought a pair of spandex shorts to work out in. The shorts are now baggy. :-) Maybe there is something to this MFP thing. ;-)

    Shoes looser, size 12 trousers all loose, tops hang rather than cling, side profile flatter, when we went out today, I did not take a picnic instead we bought food - makes you eat a lot less! Avoided chocolate, ice cream, crisps, juice, sweets, bread, cakes and evening snack. I have had people who have not seen me since Xmas ask if I am well when they see me close up!

    Sunday I was able to wear jeans that I couldn't even zip up in a year or so, and my "fat skirt" that I practically lived in at my heaviest (since nothing else fit) falls off of me now.

    The jeans that were "just fitting" a few weeks ago are now really really baggy!

    Wow that's amazing! Well done for keeping with training! I've been running on and off for about 4 years now and I still haven't had the guts to enter anything longer than a 10k!

    Another NSV I just thought of: After said bikini beach day, we had to walk up a set of about 400 wooden steps to get back to the car. There were five of us, two girls and three guys. I just started climbing up without thinking, chatting to one of the guys who is probably the fittest of the group...and before I know it I'm at the top with him, no more out of breath than he is, waiting on the other three huff and puff up the steps. That felt good! :D

    I am able to wear shorts without feeling gross!! Also, I hiked 10 miles and it didn’t really phase me.

    I went to Atlantic City and I finally was able to see myself in clothes in front of the mirror. I was amazed that I looked thinner and my clothes actually looked good on me. First time in two months!

    I made it through Disneyland for 12 hours and only ate 1 churro, a mint julep, half of a spaghetti dinner from the Pizza Port in Tomorrowland, and about a third of one of those monster-delicious ice cream cones from Main Street. I had breakfast before we went in at IHOP (Simple and Fit!) so I wasn't starving.

    For someone who used to LIVE for Disney's sweets, I'd say I beat some *kitten* yesterday. :D
