What's Your Most Recent NSV

So ever since I'd gotten my first job, the days after Halloween were always my time to go 75% off candy shopping. For the first time in 9 years, I didn't go. I caved and had some candy people brought in at work (ugh) but I don't have ANY candy at home to tempt me.

1. FB post by someone else where family members thought I might be "sick" due to the how much weight I'd lost.

2. Wearing HS Football Jersey and Letterman jacket for my halloween costume (and having them nearly fit)

I randomly tried on a bustier today that I've had since I was 17, but couldn't throw away because I love it (and it's still in excellent condition since I've been too big to get any real wear out of it, I could just get it on but it was a lumpy, uncomfortable, overly-tight mess.) It fits now! The cups were perfect, it hugged my newly-appearing waist and didn't pinch in under the arms or bunch up my back-chub. My fella was stunned when I showed him and very pleased with the result, lol. He said he loved me in it before anyway but wearing it now, he can really see the change in my figure. ^_^

Hmm, nope... I have some NSL and some SI (non-scale losses and scale increases - totz made that up). But if eating out for every meal for a month straight is a victory, then here I am!

I got a bag of chips from the vending machine (not good for me but oh so tasty), but it went in the diary along with the couple of pieces of halloween candy. I'm very likely to be well over today but it's still getting recorded. THis is not normal, I see I'm going to go over and give up recording for that day.

Awesome job. I'm like you and I'm sure I'll go over today (I've already had 4 cupcakes today) -don't judge. But log everything. Log everyday.

I fit comfortably back into some work trousers and a top that were both really tight a few months ago

two things happened yesterday, one my jeans rite out of the dryer were a little loose in the waist and almost to roomy in my but, hips, and legs....and number two, I ran a mile in 14:38...which for someone who is over weight, a smoker, has runners knee and has COPD that's not too bad

I have visible muscle tone

I don't notice it at all looking at myself, and I'm not the type to hang out flexing in front of a mirror... the only time I see myself nekkid is in the bathroom anyway and that's ribcage-up. But by chance I saw a pic of myself the other day and, holy cr@p, I'm getting some killer quads and obliques.

And I sure don't think I'm lifting any kind of weight at all but the SO glanced at my barbell and asked how much weight was on it... I said 65 lbs... "You deadlift that?"... "Yep"... "Wow, that's a lot of weight" (spoken in seriously impressed tone of voice). Hehe. If he only knew what some other gals lift, lol. Bless him for thinking I'm a real weight lifter.

Yesterday I dead lifted 195 lbs 3 times and flipped a 300 pound tire 15 times. I've just started these workouts so it really gets me excited to see how much I'll be lifting by next year
