What's Your Most Recent NSV

Everyone keeps asking on how much more weight I have lost. But I've actually plateaued for 2 months now. I guess heavy lifting is really making a difference in my body structure.

Can't get back all the years I missed, but I can live the rest of my years to the fullest.

This sentence made me tear up... Please do enjoy the rest of your life!

3. I'm wearing my wedding & engagement rings again.

Waiting for this myself - I can just about get them on now, but they're still too tight to wear comfortably.


Mine today - I couldn't resist scoffing a bread roll while I was dividing up the package for freezing. The NSV was that although my (mild) OCD was then screaming at me to eat another one, because now that bag has an odd number of rolls in it, I resisted and put them in the freezer regardless. That little nagging voice is still imploring me to go and do something about the horror, but I'm ignoring it!

Tonight I wore my size 6 skinny jeans for the first time in a year! Sat down & had dinner in them & everything. I didn't think that'd happen for another 4lbs... So happy!

I'm just getting re-started on MFP but I had to get my teenager a quick fast food supper between activities this evening and I ordered me nothing. In fact, I went home, fixed salmon and veggies & enjoyed them!!

It was 4'c this morning and I was forced to get back to nature for my daily walk/run due to a dead treadmill which has made me crabby for days now.

NSV #1... It started to rain and I did not head home, which is what I would have done a year ago.
NSV #2... As it was raining I was dubious about running and falling over (seriously don't need a set back) but my body overtook my brain and did it anyway! I can't believe I didn't feel right until I had jogged it out.

I finished it, wet but happy xx

Another notch down on my belt!

I made it through week 5 of C25K. 20 minutes of running! I am 51 years old and have never ever been able to run. I almost cried.

Shopped for clothes in my 15 year old daughter's closet! Her small clothes fit me!!!

Three weeks ago I ran my first 5K and finished in 34:38. This was right around when I finished C25K.

Today I ran my second 5K and finished 1:19 faster (33:19) despite the higher temperature (it was 74 F for the first race and 82 F today).

Sadly, I forgot to push the last button to start recording on my Garmin Forerunner at the beginning of the race. I think that first mile may have been under 10 minutes (which would have been a PR for me).

I'm tiny. And strong.

My second go at chest/triceps day was a unplanned. I cut my foot and can't go hike/walking in the woods like usual on saturday mornings after work.

Instead I went and increased most of my weights, managed the pushups at work (still can't do them flat, so used the counter at the nurses station) when last week I only finished one set, and still had enough strength left to push the door open with my hands!

Lol, last week I got my hand on the door knob to leave the gym but had to use my hip because my arms would not push. They went on strike because they had forgotten what working to feel strong felt like.

I'm still using 4 lb barbie weights for some of my chest exercises, but in a few days when I try again, I may be able to play with the big kid toys (our cable machine only goes down to 5lbs and I have bad atrophy... for now)!

Had a sip of diet pop and didn't like it
