What's Your Most Recent NSV

I can feel muscles in my abs starting there's a guy at work who likes to poke girls in the side in a flirty way (someone should let him know that's not cool...lol) so each time he would do it I was like oh man he just lost a finger in my roll! The last time he did it... all he said we 'whoa someone's been working out' lol and I wore a bikini in Cuba 2 weeks ago!!! I have never worn a bikini before... the lifeguard told me I have a nice body which if you saw his body... that means a heck of a lot to me lol! Being the girl that was 60 lbs heavier..m all the NSVs are so worth it!!!

Bought my first ever pair of short shorts today.

I ran my second 10k yesterday in 70mins. I was deliberately slow, but resolved to run the entire stretch. And, I did. I was very proud of myself. My next target is to shave off a few minutes from it.

I've entered the ZP Challenge and have made it to the top 100. Pretty exciting!!

Having enough calories left over for an extra 250 grams of turkey (400 total grams), extra sage stuffing and a small serving of ice cream and not being able to finish it! That just never happens because I'm always hungry. My dogs were thrilled too because I shared what was left on my plate.

Today I was able to get my rear end out of bed at 3 am to swim for an hour before going to work.

Wow, 3 am for a morning swim?! That is amazing dedication - congrats to you. Makes me acknowledge that I can definitely squeeze in some morning exercise before my typical 4:45 am alarm.

You know those folding chairs you see on the sidelines at every 5th grade soccer game? I bought myself one years ago. The big one. Super wide seat, holds 400 pounds. And, years ago, I sat comfortably in it. Yesterday, I took the boys to soccer practice. My husband had put the folding chairs in the trunk, but not my big one. I didn't think about it, until I was sitting, sideways, so I could talk to the guy beside me, sitting with my legs folded up in front of me...it was then I realized my hips, tummy, butt, legs...they were all in the small chair. And I was comfortable.

NSV 2: I bought myself a t-shirt, because it was a $1. It was a men's M. I didn't mean to buy it for me, really. more for my son. But, I thought maybe I'd keep it and hope to fit in to it. Last night, I stood, looking at myself in the mirror for 10 minutes, wearing theis t-shirt and a pair of underwear and having a hard time believing it was me. The shirt fit, the underwear was a pair I bought mistakenly thinking it was my size, long ago but they were too small.

Several years ago, my husband actually got irritated with me because he said I always bought the wrong size t-shirts for him. I always bought 2XL when he needed L. And, I brushed it off with "oh, I just thought bigger would be more comfortable." But, really, I bought these big shirts because I wanted plain t-shirts to wear, and I needed that size so they would fit. I just didn't want to admit it. I still wear the 2XL, but, as night gowns. And, yesterday, I was wearing a Medium, that fit perfectly.

Size 33 jeans and medium shirts fit now which I never thought I'd see (previously 38 and XL).. And I can do one arm pushups with either arm.. Not a lot but pounded out five with each arm the other night. When I started I could do a total of seven pushups using both arms...

Non scale defeat recently though, can't wear my IWB holster at 3:00 anymore.. Did you know there's bones in your hip? New to me.

posted a photo of me in a tight dress on facebook. 22 people were impressed with how i looked.

I wore my wedding ring today! It was too tight yesterday (barely got it off when I tried it on) so whether or not I can wear it is probably based on how much water I'm retaining day by day, but it's definitely progress!

Also, at my biggest (35 pounds ago) I couldn't even remotely wear my biggest belt, but I'm now on notch 2!

I wore a two piece bathing suit, in public, for the first time in at least 8 years. I'm so happy with myself!

I like your NSV AND your profile pic.

My lower half is getting shapelier due to my weight training... Loosely following one of Bret's programs.

Arms are Trying to become shapelier.

Friends/family are turning to me for fitness/nutrition guidance.

I begin my journey as a part time aerobics instructor next month.

Resting heartrate is consistently between 55 and 58 beats per min.

Went shopping with a very good friend of 10+ years for the first time today and had a blast because we could finally shop in the same store!!

Plus the boutique owner said I needed a size small and she was right! Shut the front door!! Imagine that...me in a small, I was pretty excited!!

the pair of trousers that went from too big after losing last year to rather tight are fine again; I am looking forward to my veggie soup lunch and wouldn't switch it for pizza!

I have these black stretch pants that I work out in. They fell down while I was working out! Thankfully I was at home. Time for new workout gear!
