What's Your Most Recent NSV

Went to Under Armour for some more workout clothes, didn't think I'd find anything that fit me. Not only did stuff fit but I was able to buy shirts in a Large. I haven't been a large in at least 10 years.

I made it through my 12 week program of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution yesterday, and today I celebrated how far I have come by climbing Stone Mountain Summit.... I'm down 47 pounds and am so proud of my progress and a new found sense of determination.

But it was so hot! GREAT job.

Any recommendations for other places to hike kinda around atlanta? I want to get into come fall.

For those going through plateaus.... My personal experience this time around has taught me that my pattern of losing is rather stop and go. I lose for a few weeks then hit a plateau. Several weeks go by and I'll be up and down with the same 5 lbs. I still keep going though. Sometimes I switch up my diet (like cutting out all simple carbs), upping my protein, etc. also, I examine my fitness routine, if I think I need to step it up or change something, I do. One thing I don't do is quit! But that is what I've done in the past. Eventually, as long as you're putting in the work you will lose again. My Dr. tells me my body is adjusting to a new weight and sometimes that takes time. It's normal to feel discouraged but don't let it rob you of your success.

I fit through the turn style without having to turn /get on tip toes/ etc.

I have passed my longest time of keeping this up by 15 days. The other longest was 22 days. That is as far as I know though, the timeline on the news feed just says last year for anything older than 11 months. 37 days now since it is after midnight.

I had to tighten the ankle straps on some sandals I had not worn since March!

...I woke-up hungry every day the past week. That's huge for me.

A photographer I didn't know snapped a picture of me at my gallery reception, so didn't run it by me before putting on social media. First of all, he picked my photo (it was a group show, and I don't even know if he knew I was a participating artist) second of all, I liked it so much it is my new profile pic here (or, rather, a cropped version is... I am talkng to the curator in the original photo) Bonus: I sold most of the pieces in the show

TL;DR: I like pictures of myself now

I can fit in my pre-pregnancy jeans. And my favorite gray jumper.

Went grocery shopping on Sunday. At check out realized I had only 2 processed items in my grocery cart. The rest was fresh fruit/veggies and meat. Oh and a tub of ice cream for a treat now and again. 2 month ago, I would have been lucky if there was any fresh fruit/veggies or meat in it. Not only am I eating healthier, my whole family is. (I am the meal planner in the house)
