non scale victories (Nsv's)

Chatting with our Sensei tonight he tells the group of girls that when I started training at the gym in January, I was one of the un-fitest people he had ever trained. (He knows I won't take offence at that, because I am aware of how bad my fitness was.) He emphasised that the point of making the comment was to highlight how impressed he is with my progress and that I can be really proud of it.
Also, I rolled with one of the new guys at our gym (who has been doing mma for three years) and afterwards he asked how long I have been doing bjj. He was very surprised when I said 6 weeks and complimented me on my tight game. It really is a credit to my Sensei and the others in the club who have all helped me so much, and a result of my dedication to be on the mat so often.0 -
Wow, that's really impressive. That is certainly an achievement and one very well worth being proud of as well. You must have felt like a million bucks that day especially to earn that kind of recognition and praise from your Sensei who I am sure is not easily impressed. Isn't it wonderful to see our efforts and dedication from other people's eyes because we can sometimes be our own worst critics. You are an inspiration hun.

Hit my july goal of walking 31miles+ total. How's everyone else getting on with their goals?0
-
Well done. I did a minute based exercise challenge in July. The goal was 1000 minutes and I hit that so I changed mine to 2000 and hit that as well. Considering one week was holiday and another was low due to injury issues, and the fact that I am pushing because of a big competition in August, I set my August goal at 3000!!0

Well done ladies! You aree doing great!0

I sink! I used to be buoyant in the water but obviously I have lost enough fat and grown enough muscle to change that! It is a bitter sweet nsv as I loved my buoyancy but I also love my new muscles.0

My son rode a bike for the first time today. Hb videoed it and i didn't mind being in it - too busy focusing on my boy (pedalling backwards, d'oh). Didn't even super analyse how i looked when it was played back. Funny how spending some time on your self makes you less self-centred!! 0

Honey, isn't it wonderful when you start to feel more comfortable being videoed or taking photos. I've hated both for years now because I could never reconcile myself to the way I looked. I think that's a wonderful NSV. Captain, had to smile when I read yours because I know there are lots of us that can relate. Never mind hun, with all the workouts you are doing you'll have loads of stamina to do laps in the pool

Well done! I have a similar one. It was my friend's birthday so we all went out last night. Today all the pics are on Facebook and I'm trying to figure out who the one person is (the lighting was bad), only to realise it was me! I'm so much smaller that I didn't even recognise myself!
In addition, I bought some more clothes yesterday (summer pjs and more workout shorts, because I can't wash quickly enough to meet the needs of my training!) and they were SMALL.0 -
Feel like I'm getting better at yoga - think I'm a bit more flexible but also it just feels better when I'm doing it.
Lost another cm from my waist and 3 from my hips.
Able to walk 5miles without aching all over afterwards.
25hrs exercise in august (if today goes to plan).0 -
Great work ladies, I am looking forward to starting on this journey again, I felt so much better when I was watching what I was eating and loved how I was starting to look!0
