NSVs anyone??

My elastic waist leggings i use for Zumba wouldn't stay up where they should, they kept falling below my belly and I'd have to stop and pull them back up :-)

My first is that even though I have only lost 11 lbs, I did measurement on 7 places and found I had lost 11 inches!!! The second was on Sat, at a wedding, my sister said "You are looking SO good!" And when I have such a long way to go, it really helped me stay motivated over the long weekend!!!!

I put on a pair of shorts that were tight less than a week ago and now I'm going to have to use a belt to wear them comfortably. I was in a change room today and I saw my back in a mirror and I could actually see my scapula (sp?) on both sides.

One of my friends I haven't seen in years walked right past me until I grabbed his attention. He didn't even recognize me. Haha. He was very proud.

It has been a full year since starting my weight loss journey. Last summer, I attempted to get up a massive sand hill. I had to crawl, my legs were burning so bad, my lungs were going to explode (they also hurt for the rest of the day) and it took about 30-45 mins to recover.

I decided that for my 1 year - I was going to climb up the sand hill again. I completed this milestone today and it was INCREDIBLE of the differences. I actually stayed on my feet this time, my recovery time was about 10 mins, and my lungs did not hurt past the recovery time. Today, there happened to be massive rain clouds coming over the city, but regardless of my fear of thunderstorms - i climbed up the hill anyway. When me and my SO got there, there had been a tree that had fallen right over the path up the hill. Despite that - i still went up the hill and just climbed over the stump. My boyfriend also took pictures, which I have always had a fear of (camera shy).

Today was simply amazing and full of NSVS. This is what its all about.

I broke the upper part of my arm and fractured my tailbone while snowboarding back in January of this year and even walking was torturous... Well tonight although I'm still in a cast I was able to finally do a fast walk with spurts of jogging!! I finally got to use the HRM I had gotten for Christmas a couple weeks previous.. I seriously almost cried cried because I was sooooo happy I know I'll be sore tomorrow but right now I don't care.

Congratulations All of you!! I am impressed!!

Now at the risk of sounding novice (ok so maybe I am), what does NSV stand for?
I can gather that it's positve and noticeable and marks a milestone in your progress.
Kudos, again to all of you!

Thank you!

My exercise tights can't stay up anymore. I need to buy new ones.

Great stories everyone. I got a new pair of jeans at Christmas and couldn't quite button them. Tried again in March but no go...Guess what? I am wearing them now and they are even a little loose!!!

Three for me this week:

1. Spinning for 3 60 minute sessions
2. Calf Raises at 2x my body weight
3. Linear Hack Press within ten pounds of my body weight.

Woohoo! More strength for cycling.
