    So, this is a weird one, but I noticed it about a week ago.

    There are gaps in between my toes again now. You can still see the indentation, where they used to press together, but it isn't happening any more. I was looking at my feet while standing on the scale and said 'huh'. I'll be honest, I've checked them several times since while sockless, just because it's so different.

    My favorites of the week......

    I teach elementary school music and this week was teacher in-service (the week before kids come back). I was talking to one of the teachers about seeing a former parent over the summer and she really didn't know who I was even though I had taught her kids for a number of years. My teacher friend said she probably didn't since I'm so skinny now.

    I was at an elementary music meeting with folks I see only a couple of times a year. Someone I have known for 13 years came up and said he hardly recognizes me any more and called me "skinnie minnie". I KNOW I'm not "skinny" but I look as small as anyone now. The name "Skinny" just makes me smile.

    Today's NSV for me - did a 5K this morning. While I didn't run it 100% I still beat my personal best time by coming in under 41 minutes. If I had really tried to prep I could have done better. Nice to see how well I did with 50+ less pounds on me! Felt great!

    Outstanding! You sound so humble about finishing a 5K and setting a new PR without really purposefully aiming for a specific time goal. This is a fantastic accomplishment and an awesome NSV. ~Lynn /Glucerna

    So there is a name for this weird phenomenon, lol. My biggest one is putting my type 2 diabetes into remission and eliminating my meds in the process.

    I have also noticed that even with losing only 27 lbs of my 80 lb goal to date that my measurements are still the same with a tape measure (weird) however my clothes are down 2 sizes from and 18 to a 14 and I just bought a pile of new shirts in a medium which is amazing since I have been in an XL for years. I got a swimsuit today 2 sizes smaller which was exciting! So regardless of no changes in the tape measure and modest ones on the scales, my clothing is the most telling feature for me. I also now have lumpy and squishy fat that is really odd looking but is supposed to be a positive precursor to a whoosh so bring it on!

    My NSV of the day - I just out-biked two 14 year olds! We did 14.5 miles and they begged me to go home for the last 7! I could have gone quite a bit longer!

    NSV - I just realized that I no longer have to stretch out my shirts before putting them on!

    Latest NSV - I live in Kansas City and drive a Jeep Wrangler that has no air conditioning. That being said I usually take the hard top off in April and leave it off as long as I can stand it (into November some years). It gets pretty hot and humid here in the midwest. Well, we are getting a nice cold spell so I knew it was time to dig out the jacket. I went to put on last years 3X jacket and it was HUGE on me. I found a XXL jacket my Father-in-law gave me over the summer and tried it on. It was loose and comfortable. So today I am celebrating wearing a smaller jacket! I might burn that old 3X! (probably be better off donating it).

    This is excellent news! Someone will enjoy a new-to-them jacket, and you're enjoying wearing a smaller jacket. Keep going the way you have been, and you'll need an even smaller jacket before the winter is over :) ~Lynn /Glucerna

    NSV of the day for me - so I'm sure you've all experienced this, but where I work from time to time the vendors bring in free shirts. They are NEVER big enough for me (until now). In fact a few years ago as a gag I have a picture of me trying to wear a free shirt that was a 2X and ridiculously tight on me - it was a laugh! Well this morning I saw that same shirt in my closet and thought I'd try it on. It fits and is actually a tad bit baggy! Now I have to go through all my drawers looking for all those vendor freebies to see if there are more that fit me now! And I need some more shirts to replace all the 3X and 4X shirts I recently gave away!
