What NSV did you have this week?

Such great NSVs! I love reading these

- I bought a pair of capris and a pair of shorts back in March to go on vacation with. They were too tight to wear. Now that the weather is capri/shorts season, I put them on and they're too big!!

- I had a small slip-up with eating yesterday. I waited too long to eat, then binged. I felt gross and could have easily let it ruin my day, but instead I dragged out the canoe and took my kids fishing. I realized I've come a long way since just last year at this time.

My shadow looks less like a blob. I can see collarbone.

Fellow gym goer stopped me and said I looked like I had lost a bunch more weight since the last time we talked. I hadn't really but I guess the toning is working and trimming me down!

I love wearing rings. (They're so pretty!) I just tried on all of my old rings (high school and beyond), and they either fit and are broken or they're too big, now! So I just *had* to go to Amazon and order a new one.

I've decided that instead of goal clothing (since I have no idea what my final shape will be), I might try having goal rings of increasingly smaller sizes.

Great job everyone! And congrats to the now preggo mama!

In 6 weeks:

-1.75 inches from my waist/navel
-4 inches from my midsection
-I have a pear size body type so I have a difficult time finding just the right jeans, but have noticed loose pants lately - I was wearing 13/15 pants, and today I have on size 11
-BF two weeks ago was down 2%

This picture - finally a picture of me that doesn't make me cringe or leave me embarrassed. I have a ways to go still but this picture honestly makes me want to cry (a good cry!)

I participated in my first Tough Mudder!

My next door neighbor told me I am looking thin and asked what I am doing to lose so much weight. Thin is a hilarious overstatement for me but she is the first person who's specifically asked me what I am doing to achieve results!

Bought my first-ever pair of "tight" exercise pants. My old yoga pants were baggy despite being athletic type fabric. The ones I got at JC Penney this weekend are 1X and the real deal, but they still aren't exactly tight...just nicely fitted! I feel so proud of my legs in them and even my lower belly bulge is so dramatically better than 4 months ago, it makes me happy!

I fit into every booth without my boobs or belly touching or even coming near the edge of the table. YAY!

Mine: My husband telling me Im definetely shrinking , the pants I normally use to go to work are getting BAGGY ..and also some people are telling me Im losing weight ..and I have noticed I losta few inches..more than pounds.

I bought my first pair of designer jeans and shorts.

Felt good enough, (and light enough) to attempt cartwheels at the park with my kids! And LANDED on my feet!

I was wearing a skirt and ran across the parking lot and it fell down, I totally did not turn to see if anyone saw my undies!!! Probably time to get rid of that skirt!

My SO didn't recognize me from behind when he drove past me when I was out walking.

I sort of jog walked across the street at a tricky intersection. I haven't been able to do anything faster than a turtle for about a year and a half.

I only have one more pair of pants to shrink into. The rest are getting ridiculously big.

I shopped for 3 hours without my feet swelling up too much to walk. They hurt like heck though and I had to sit down. But, my previous "record" was 2 hours without sitting down.

When I'm stretching, I can once again touch my nose to my knees without my belly getting in the way.

Got cute skinny pants that fit me!

Walking to the supermarket yesterday a random woman (who appeared completely normal) called out from across the road "what a lovely top, you look really beautiful!". Totally made my day and reminded me to pay it forward...I often see people I think look absolutely amazing and never say anything, may be just the boost they need so next time I wont be so shy about paying a stranger a compliment.
