    I jump rope 5-6 days a week, and shower immediately afterwards. Of course I'm hot and sweating like crazy so I try and take cool shower and get my core temperature down so I don't get out of the shower still sweating. So the NSV is when I notice on those rare occasions when I shower w/o having just jumped rope... I get to take a warm shower! The jump rope/cold shower is so much a part of my lifestyle, that something as normal as a warm shower stands out as special. Seemed neat to me!

    Deadlift: 385#
    Bench Press: 235#

    at a body weight of 185...15 lbs shy of reaching the "1000 pound club"

    I was out at the bar with a friend this past weekend when we ran into a high school classmate of ours that we hadn't seen since graduation. Our classmate greeted my friend then looks at me and goes "Hey, I'm Tommy." He was more than a little surprised when I told him who I was LOL. I only graduated 3 years ago and my class size was 140 so everybody knew everybody.

    I've also been steadily progressing in the gym. Finally benching 45lb plates now, which was my first major lifting goal. Feels good!

    This is a combo SV and NSV...

    I moved 500 miles, didn't track my food for approximately 2 weeks, and I managed to lose 2 pounds in that time frame!

    I was described as 'tiny' by a lady at work, in the context of attempting to help her find clothes for her daughter, and was told that her daughter was 'average, not as small as [you]'. It's still completely bizarre being perceived as small. Relatedly, I was helping a girl try to find jeans with a 28" leg — my store used to stock them, but don't at present. At 5'2", I tend to wear petite/28" length jeans, and suggested a couple of alternative stores (Topshop, DP and Next for petite ranges, New Look for children's), and she responded to the latter suggestion with a 'but your legs are quite thin, whereas my thighs are quite large'. Her thighs weren't, for the record, but I've always been incredibly self-conscious of my legs and my shape (pear), and the idea that my legs are 'thin' is just. Remarkable. Even if it's just by one person's standards.

    It was a work colleague's birthday yesterday so she brought food to our shift today. I joined the celebration, ate a couple of slices of meat (I had already eaten lunch, that's what I could fit without going drastically over my macros). She packed some cookies for me. They looked delicious, but I'm low carb due to insulin resistance. So I have cookies that I'm not supposed to eat and do not want to just throw away.

    The NSV: I packed them in my lunch box, put the box in my bag, and let my boyfriend know that he's getting some cookies so I wouldn't eat them. They are still in my bag, and I haven't even obsessed about them as much as I thought I would.

    Yesterday, I finally managed to do unassisted pull-ups. Not just one pull-up, but I knocked out three! It's truly awesome that I'm starting to get psyched about getting STRONG rather than just losing weight.

    Went to the dentist last night and the guy at reception actually commented on how much weight I've lost. Told me I look great. It felt awesome :)

    Saw someone I haven't seen for over 6 months...she told me I look 20 years younger and my face was beautiful. Now, I can ok
    Bly take so much of what she says with a grain of salt because she's a bit of a suck up but I'll still take it. Someone else said I was looking more and more like my daughter...which we've been told her whole life but I agree, it's becoming uncanny.

    Yesterday after I got a new personal best on my squats, a guy asked me if I'd lifted competitively before. :happy: You should have seen his face when I told him I've only been lifting for a month!

    Oh, and that weight I put on my shoulders to squat weighed 15 pounds more than I do. :happy:

    This morning I did a headstand in yoga for the first time ever! It was against the wall, but it feels great to start to overcome my fear of breaking my neck. :)

    Yesterday I did the Jacobs Ladder Stairway Stair Climber for 33 minutes---1,050 steps and 100 flights of stairs! Just last week I couldn't make it 10 minutes! I felt great after and I'm not sore today! Feeling really good!!

    I have definitely reached the point where I need some new clothes-- my swimsuit top is WAY too big for me around the sides and I can barely keep it on when I go swimming. All of my yoga pants are starting to bag as well. Yay!
