What's Your Most Recent NSV

I tried on lingerie at Victoria's Secret yesterday. It fit and it was cute. In fact, I tried on several options and couldn't believe how I looked. I've NEVER felt like I should be wearing lingerie, so to see myself in the mirror, wearing something like that and looking good, was quite unnerving (in a good way). I just couldn't believe it.

The camis I wear under my shirts no longer ride up my stomach!

Woke up an hour and a half before my alarm. Got up and went for a run!

I had a tough day yesterday. I had got up early to get in a swim (so a good start) but work was pretty full on and I didn't leave until almost 8pm. I also had left my phone at home, which is how I usually track food during the day. Anyway, things started to go pear shaped when someone had baked some delicious cookies and left them in the kitchen, and I caved and had the last 1.5 cookies with my lunch. Which was ok because I could juggle my cals for the rest if the day to make it work. BUT at about 3pm someone in my team brought out a block if macadamia chocolate, and after resisting for an hour or so I had a few pieces. and then a few more. And then at 5pmish someone left most of a chocolate cake in the kitchen. I resisted until like 7pm when I went to make a cup of tea and then totally caved and ate a slice. I also cut 2 more slices to take home - one for me and one for hubby. ANYWAY, the NSV in all of this is that after all that, I DIDNT EAT THE SECOND PIECE! I gave them both to hubby. And I logged all that junk and was still under my total thanks to a light dinner and the exercise I did earlier in the day. I still felt a bit crap after giving in so many times, but felt good that I made a good decision in the end.

I have been getting carded a LOT lately. I will be 37 Friday. (I hadn't been carded in a couple of years before this last month!)

A friend looked at some selfies I took and said I looked mysterious. Ha!

Probably the most common one on here. I moved up to the end of my belt holes. Ill need to make new ones.

I've had to do the same once already, and will likely do it again this weekend...

I hate running on the treadmill. I normally don't finish a full mile without slowing down to walk...I get into my own head a lot.
Yesterday I had to do 2 miles, and ended up running 1.75 miles of it straight! Had my best treadmill finish time ever, and felt great. For the first time in the 18 months I've been running/jogging/whatever...I finally *felt* like a runner.

For the past few weeks, I've been cooking and portioning my healthy meals out (salmon, brown rice, and asparagus for example )and making protein bars and healthy snacks. I don't know what clicked, but I have been eating way smaller portions, and feeling satiated. I've never really known what that felt like before. I've always eaten large portions until I've felt stuffed.
I feel like this is the biggest NSV of my life!
Also, I took one bite of a cupcake, didn't want it and threw it away. I have never thrown out a cupcake in my entire life!
Victory here I come!

Yesterday, after taking a shower, I was able to wrap the bath towel around me and tuck it with no gaps. Do for the first time in a while I was fully covered.
