Share your NSV of the week!

Mine was a shopping NSV, last year when a thrift store had a $2 pants sale, I was still a size 18 and could only find 2 decent pairs, Friday when I went to their annual $2 pants sale, I found 7 pairs, including the pièce de résistance, a pair of Brooks Brothers, all between size 6 - 10. I became an avid thrift store shopper during my weight loss journey and have noticed that being a smaller size I have a lot more choices, especially in the designer brands. Don't know if I can ever go back to shopping in regular stores again.

Slight bit more definition in my arms and being able to touch my elbow to my inside knee in bicycle crunches. My stomach must have shrunk or got stronger! Woo hoo. Running the distance i need to run for my obstacle race in two weeks time!

I REACHED MY GOAL THIS PAST SATURDAY!!!!!!!

Great News! My NSV happened this past Saturday- I went to the beach with my husband-I was walking along the waterfront for about 15 minutes when I suddenly realized that my thighs were NOT rubbing together!

I went to a bbq at my best friend's house. I don't see her husband very often because we don't do "family" things a lot sense it is hard to schedule with her family and mine. Her husband told her after I left how proud of me he was and how great I'm looking. She shared that with me and it felt awesome (I've known them since high school, so he has seen me at my lightest and my heaviest).

For the first time I can remember, I have a thigh gap! And a close friend of the family, who I haven't seen since January, said I looked like I had lost weight, and that I look great :-)

Went to yoga wearing my new tight fitting running jacket. Two women walked across the room to talk to me about how good I was looking and how had I done it!
Then another woman said she thought I had lost enough!
Most people say I look really healthy and much younger. My bmi is 24.4 so I am not skinny. But at nearly 64 I don't want to look haggard. But it is so nice when people really notice.
I also did 24 full press ups this morning - a pb.

Put on a shirt that I used to wear open over a t-shirt because it wouldn't even come together. I was able to button it up and wear it comfortably.

I am excited to go to my doctor appointment on Thursday to show the doc my new shape and attitude! I have never looked forward to the scale at the doctor's office before:laugh:

This was an awesome week, starting with stair sprints on Monday evening. Yesterday I graduated from the baby bar to the 7-foot Oly on my bench press, even for the warmup sets. That's what I'm proudest of this week. The only compound lift I need the baby bar for now is OHP.

Ordered a pair of size "8 short" booty Levi's from Zappos (short because I live in minimalist shoes). Put them on and noted they fit perfectly although they were a little longer than I'd anticipated. The "8 medium" pair was too big. Looked at the "8 short" again and realized they were actually "6 medium." I'm a size 6. A freaking size 6. I haven't been a size 6 since the 90s (and I fill it out a lot nicer now). Size 8 was my goal, but a lot of the size 8 clothes I'd been trying to get into again are now in a box waiting for a trip to the tailor this Fall.

Possibly the best, though: One of my volunteer groups has a once-monthly meeting that was this week. I got compliments all night. Afterward, a close (somewhat older, happily married) friend from that meeting sent me email saying, "you have become eye candy." :blushing: Made my week.
