What's Your Most Recent NSV

I passed up having a free donut at work today. I had room in my calories but I just didn't feel like having one. The old me would've eaten it regardless if I was hungry or not. You can't pass up free donuts!!! Oh, yes I can!

I went shopping for a dress to wear to my friend's wedding. I had put the shopping trip off for so long I only had one day left when I could buy it, so I was under pressure. As per usual my expectation was to try and find the dress that made me look least awful. I spent all day walking all over town. I had two 'possibles' that I had found which I didnt love but 'would do' if they had to. Then at about 4pm I went into a shop and tried on a dress that actually made me feel pretty. I even got a nice comment from a random person in the store. I honestly wanted to cry and hug the shop assistant. Bonus NSV: it was a size L, and I could have probably gone for an M if they had had one in stock. No Xs in the label anymore!!!

For anyone in NZ, Annah Stretton Flip It dresses are AMAZING! If you dont have one, go buy one. They are wrap dresses, so forgiving for those of us on weightloss journeys too

@AngeBee18 - I love this story about the dress.

Bout a winter coat in October, at the time it was at least a size too small. I could zip it up by the end of November. At the end of December I had to wear a sweater with it because it was too loose. New we are at the end of January and I will have to find another coat to get through the rest of the winter.

I had a pair of jeans that were just a little bit too tight, like after eating I would have to get them off. I wore them out shopping and even was a little bloated. Fit fine all day even after a big meal.
Also ran a mile on the treadmill with a decent incline in 11:30 min. It felt amazing.

I'm now squatting 210 for my stronglifts 5x5. My deadlift is up to 245 for 4 reps, whoohoo.

WTG!!

I am going to a party later today so I just did 1/2 hour on the stationary bike to allow myself some extra calories. The old me would have never done that.

I came first in a charity Spinathon that took place this morning. This was full of hardcore spinners and I looked the unfittest there. That showed them !

I made it through my first strength training session and didn't give up or die! A 30min circuit combining skipping/jump rope and bodyweight moves. Turns out I have no muscle in my arms at all - but the only way is up right?

I used to take my jeans/work pants off as soon as I got home because the waistband had been cutting into my belly all day. I've noticed recently that I'm comfortable in them all day and typically don't change until it's time for pajamas!

Went to buy some new shirts today and the shop assistant brought me a size 14 (UK sizes) to try on. I just laughed (last time I was there I was an 18, though it was a bit big on me), but she was quite right. I was truly astonished!

I've had a ton of really terrible days this month... But my NSV is that I logged and owned up to every single one of them, and worked hard and reversed the damage over each week. Yay me!

Good for you! I was searching for a "like" button for this post. Keep up the good work.

Had the potato chips IN MY HAND yesterday & put them back in the bag without eating any

I was walking around in sweats this weekend, and my sister told me how amazing I look...and that I was her motivation. 7 months ago all I wanted to do was eat ice cream, now I'm someone's motivation?! I never would have imagined...

My 9yo daughter who doesn't know about my weight loss, only that I am getting fitter this year in a general way, hugged me today and looked up suddenly to say:

"Mummy, why has your tummy gotten smaller?"

I don't see it yet, but I trust her and that made my day!

May not seem like much to some people, but 50 straight seconds of jumping jacks this morning.
