What's Your Most Recent NSV

I did a 5k yesterday and got my best time ever. Then I ran another one today and beat yesterday's time.

I'm trying to do 12 in one year. I have to do 2 more by the end of May to keep my commitment.

A while back, at an assembly at my daughter's school, a woman stood up after about 30 minutes and offered me her seat on the end of a bench. She was a thin woman, with a tiny little rear end. I politely declined, but she insisted, and her (also thin) friend was still on the bench, looking up at me like I was crazy and rude for declining. But I didn't think my butt would fit in the tiny spot she had just vacated!! But I swallowed my pride and decided to let a butt cheek hang off the bench to be polite. But then an amazing thing happened. My butt fit. It fit in the tiny spot her butt had just left! My WHOLE butt! As I realized what was happening, I actually started to giggle to myself with glee. It was a pretty awesomely proud moment.

I fit into a dress in my cupboard now just in time for a wedding on Saturday. So no need to buy a new one.

I didn't pig out this weekend despite feeling annoyed/disappointed/angry with myself for not passing my driving test. I still haven't figured out if I'm going to pursue it anymore and continue being a burden on my husband and those around me or test his patience some more with driving practice. Those low self-esteem demons are mean and very loud and make it very hard for the confident and capable ones to come out victorious

People fail driving tests all the time. In fact, I just googled, and in my area the failure rate is above 50% for first timers. I told both my daughters to consider the first test as just a practice test.

But congrats on not turning to food for comfort. That's huge.

actually it was my second time. it's extra frustrating because I'm 36 and can't do what most 16 years old are capable. I seem to be missing some fundamental capability that I just can't seem to overcome.

My husband is 36 as well, and JUST got his license by the skin of his teeth. He's still uber-anxious behind the wheel. Don't be to hard on yourself; you'll get it! Is there a local driving school nearby? Most of them let you take a few lessons without having to go through the whole course; the'll charge by the hour instead. Helped hubby out a lot!

1. Signed up for a 12 week triathlon training program a week ago.
2. Decided that since I've been maintaining/very slow progress since January that I wouldn't track my food or weight until after the program. Just focus on enjoying the ride and feeling good.
3. Had to go to the doc for something completely unrelated and she said that she hoped I wasn't weighing myself regularly because that's really not where my focus should be. Bingo! High five doc!

I have sustained a 50 lb loss since Aug 2015. But the NSV was my brother who is >300lbs at dinner said he was doing portion control and decreasing carbs. I don't preach, just try to lead by example; and it's working!

I can see the sides of my stomach getting smaller! I can start to see what the sides of my stomach will look like now just waiting for my "baby pooch" to go away! And, I think my legs are looking smaller but I'm not sure if it's just wishful thinking or not I'll check measurements later this month!

I ran a full 10k in 60 mins of non-stop running for the first time ever in the weekend. I also went shopping for summer tops (inspired by the gorgeous weather). They are SLEEVELESS for the first time in years. No hiding my arms in jumpers this summer!
