What's Your Most Recent NSV

Just came back from a week long vacation and I have a few NSVs...

I didn't beat myself up for enjoying food while on vacation. I didn't really log but I kept myself on MFP daily.

Stayed on an island an entire week without a car and walked EVERYWHERE. The beach was about a 1.5 mile walk each way, the brewery we toured was 2.5 miles away, and one of the lighthouses was about a mile away. I wore my FitBit everywhere, the least amount of walking I did was 11,000 steps and the most was just shy of 20,000!

I brought workout clothes with me and ran twice before breakfast. This is the first time I've ever worked out on vacation.

Wore the heck out of my fatkini and enjoyed running around on the beach.

The scale says I'm up 3 lbs but I'm counting that out as water retention from the 25 hour trip back home...I'm not letting that discourage me.

Before vacation started I went through most of my closet to pull outfits and ended up with another bag of clothes to give away that are too big now. A lot of my graphic t's have gone from daily wear to baggy gym wear.

Got a ladies hoodie on vacation in a Large. It's pretty fitted right now but this time last year I know it would have been a men's fitted large. Pretty exciting stuff lol.

Oh and last one...I noticed my steps were only at around 6K on Saturday and I was on a layover waiting in NYC. I decided to just run in place waiting in line for the next bus. Was going to stop at 8K but this guy came over and started talking about how motivating I was and how inspired he was at my dedication. Ended up chit chatting with him and didn't even realize I had hit 10K.

Not sure if i will be on again tonight, but after the walk I am about to take, i will have set a record of 11.5 miles in 1 day.

My recent NSV from Sunday. Copied from the June 2015 Running Challenge

Peace River Heritage Run ( Harlan Hunt Memorial ) Half marathon, 10 km, 5 km, 5x2 km Team Relay and 5 km walk.

According to the Organizers there were 170 registered runners, ~75 in the 10 km run.
Before I got to the turn I started meeting the faster runners wearing the 10 km bibs so I started counting and my placement number was 26 when I got to the turn. I got passed by one long lean guy at about km 8 who kicked away from his wife ( he said he could see me for 3 km's before he caught me ).
My first Official Timed Race 10 km in 1:00:25 a PB for me as my normal 10 km time is 11 minutes slower.

So I guess I was 27 out of 75 for the 10 km race and not sure of my age group placement yet, as they have not been posted. Limited number of volunteers so not expecting anything for a few days.
Placement doesn't really matter, as I read in one other post the persons goal was to

1. Finish
2. Finish Standing up
3. Not get carried off in an Ambulance

Next run hopefully will be the Emperor's Challenge if our team made registration.

The bad news is just found out we didn't make registration for the Emperor's Challenge, that's what happens when an event gets a good reputation and has amazing terrain/scenery. The 1000 20km race slots filled in ~ 20 hours according to the website.

I had the best day! One of those where everything goes right!

Went to the doctor and had the first normal blood pressure reading in the office in years.

Tried on some size 10 jeans and just zipped them right up! I had a bit of muffin top so they are a little bit snug but not lay on the bed and zip up with pliers tight.

I easily completed this workout that before, when I first started doing it, would make me nearly keel over.

I'm seeing a bit of shoulder definition.

7 weeks in and I think I need to buy a new work skirt! What do you think?

I had a big surprise this last Friday and I can't keep from thinking about it. I've done my first plank.

Without shaking, without collapsing my belly on to the mat.

This has got to be an advantage of doing the same routine over time. I attend a yoga class on Fridays, and every once in a while, bang, I can do something new. What happened in between? Slow and gradual strengthening I guess. Stronger core. Stronger quads. A little more upper body strength.

I ran a 10km! Just like that. I was putting it off for soooo long and was planning to do it on thursday, but decided to run it before because nothing was really stopping me! I am really proud of myself and my determination :-)

All of you are doing amazing and you motivate me a lot!

My NSV is today I was feeling un-motivated to do any exercise or weights. Getting annoyed with myself in work, wanting to hit Maccies on the way home. Got home, helped my little one with her homework and thought "Sod this" where's my to-do list. Worked my way through the to-do list, had a big steak and slimming world chips for tea (and stayed within my calorie limit). Now, the NSV bit - went for my 3 mile walk and for the first time not only did I complete a sub 16minute mile, I nailed all three at around 15:30. When I got home I was blowing for tugs and sweating like a pig but god it felt good. I've been doing these walks for around 5 weeks and was staying at around 16:30 per mile, but something may have just clicked.

sorry for going on, but I am so glad I did it and largely it's thanks to everyone on these boards giving me the inspiration and motivation to keep going and not allow myself to get out of what are becoming very good habits.

Sometimes those workouts you didn't think you wanted to do turn out to be the best ones! Congrats on great progress, and getting out there.

I've had a few in the last week or so (only started four weeks ago)... After four weeks of CrossFit and MFP, I have:

-Had to tighten my HRM strap by a lot
-Seen dimples on my face
-Fit into pants comfortably that I couldn't even button before
-Feel good!

These are important NSVs for me because the scale hasn't really moved much at all. Which can be so frustrating!

This is just a one months differance... deaf a NSV as it was only a 7 pound loss in the month. I've lost 50lbs so far..
just amped up the work outs... at the bottom is beginning of my journey
