What's Your Most Recent NSV

I tried on a size 14, and while it was snug, it fit much better than my 16s!! I haven't worn a size that small in a decade! Hooray!

I haven't been measuring most of my food, but this morning I decided to measure my peanut butter, since it's the most calorie-dense thing I usually eat.

I thought for sure I'd been having more than I've been logging, but I was pretty much right on!

I got a run in the last pair of "queen" size pantyhose in my drawer, and pulled out one in the next size down that I knew should fit, but was worried wouldn't. And they fit just fine!

Also, I went shopping for a few new things, because I've realized (and accepted--which is an NSV itself) that the rest of this journey is going to take a lot longer than the first 35 pounds, so it doesn't seem like such a waste to buy something new, because it should fit reasonably well for a while. One thing I needed was some new long exercise pants with cold weather coming on, and I saw some that I liked ("skinny" sweat pants) but the largest size was a medium. For someone who was wearing XLs and even XXLs just over a year ago, it seemed absurd to think they might fit, but I tried them on, and although they were a little snugger than I liked across the lower abdomen (appearance-wise, not restricting freedom of motion), I kind of liked the snug fit across the rear and on the thighs. I had actually decided to buy a medium (!!), telling myself they would fit longer if they started out a little snug, when I spied a large on another rack, and decided to get those--but still, that buying a medium was even a reasonable possibility feels like a huge NSV.

And, finally, I've started to want to have my walk/run so much that if I work late, I'll still go out and do a couple of miles, whereas before, I would have said, "It's late, and I'm tired, and I haven't had dinner, and I just need to relax and unwind for a while." Last night I went out and ran in the rain (well, it was only a light drizzle, but the point is that there was a time when that would have been enough of an excuse to stay in).

Finally achieved "intermediate" across the board!

I was going to post about the last 60 days and my NSV today and then saw this thread! I just returned from a week's vacation and was putting away the clothes I just washed. I decided to tidy up the drawer where my jeans are and, on a lark, just decided to try them all on. I was almost floored to find that they all fit. Even a pair of size 12s I bought by accident once and never took back. The 12s are snug, but perfect for wearing out. Right now I'm wearing another pair just for hanging out around the house and they are so comfortable. Normally I'd have on a pair of sweats. I'm so inspired to start my next 60 day challenge! So that's what 17 lbs will do for me? Wow!

60 days ago I started a 30 day challenge that I extended. I started with a meal replacement shake (310 Nutrition) that I drank instead of dinner (which is my hardest meal to control) and Les Mills Combat from Beachbody. And I vowed not to eat anywhere that had a drive through which essentially cut fast food from my menu. Of course, on vacation I was on the road so the fast food ban was broken, but tomorrow I am starting the challenge all over again and adding another day of exercise.

The only thing I am disappointed in is that I broke my MFB streak. I forgot to log in yesterday and enter my food. Really bummed about that.

<---Getting a PR in a 10K run today. I'm the guy with the pink beard/vest.

I did a one minute plank! I weigh 221 lbs

My scrubs are getting looser on me...AGAIN!

I've logged in to MFP for 14 days straight!

So Saturday I went to the mall to get my nephew a cross for his baptism. I was there with my mom and asked if she wanted to see anything else so she was like "what's Forever 21?" so I had us check it out (I love this store). Not only did she find some basics but I needed a new pair of skinny jeans. I love my jeans from there but the pair I had at home were super worn. I grabbed a pair of 18s and they fit SO well (and at $9.80 I can't complain). Got home and looked at my old jeans and saw they were a 20! I WENT DOWN A PANT SIZE! WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING IT! Granted they are super stretchy jeans but I'm so amped!

Today I asked one of the trainers at my gym to check my form on a lift. They were the ones who set my lift amount 4 weeks ago. Today they said I was lifting way too light and got me to lift with an extra 13kg on. I didn't think I could, but I did my reps! I've also been increasing some of my other weights incrementally, and today I realised I need to up the weight on some others. Great session for making me feel strong and powerful (even though I'm a beginner, so these are really light still).

I just bought a size four skirt! ;-) And no, I don't weigh 96 pounds. I'm 5'3" and 127lb. The last time I fit into this size I had just had my appendix out and weighed 118.

I did a 7.88 mile hike on Sunday that I'm still super happy about. Even my Dr was happy with me.
