What's Your Most Recent NSV

Well, another one for me...the new school term has begun this morning. I dropped the kids off with my wife and stayed a bit as it is our last one's first day in primary. We've been at the same school for years now so we know a lot of parents, teachers and TAs.

One TA was telling my wife "is that your new husband?"
One teacher (we're friends with some of them) couldn't stop commenting out loud how good looking I am now...
(Btw, I was wearing a suit since I had to go to work afterwards so that did help I suppose).

I appreciate sincerely the compliment but I also must say that it is a bit embarrassing to be exposed that much in public (especially since it takes quite some time for your brain to catch up with your actual look and not your former self...)

Same here! Except instead of moving my wedding band to a necklace I wrapped a rubber band onto the back. One of the things I'm most excited about looking towards reaching my goal weight is to get it resized!

That's a fab idea - thank you for sharing! I've already had one of my rings re-sized and the others are starting to move around too much as well now - I'm going to use this trick!

A couple from the last few days for me:

Went clothes shopping at the weekend (which, as a man is not my favourite thing to do) I'm now comfortably wearing size L tops and even bought one in size M - I started this journey wearing 3 and 4XL's.

That my new pair of 34in waist jeans will be too big very soon and I'm going to have to consider 32's.

The biggest one though was someone at work who doesn't know me saying in conversation yesterday that 'You're skinny, you don't know what it's like having never been fat' - I genuinely nearly cried as never in my 29 years on this earth has someone ever called me skinny without a hint of sarcasm or humour attached to it. My mind was totally blown

I'm only about half way to goal weight but I already love high heels so much more... I can wear them all day and they don't hurt my feet like they used to. I literally can't wait to hit goal weight because I've decided I'm going to reward myself with new heels and I'm so excited!

In the past I have tried every 21 day fix, whole 30, seven day diet out there. I've lost a few pounds only to regain it all back immediately and not once have I successfully completed any of them. Well today I hit a 31 day streak of logging and I'm down a little over 10 lbs. I still have a long way to go, but I'm so excited to have found something that works for me and that is becoming a sustainable lifestyle for me!

I recently attended a bridal shower, and I found myself shifting around quite a bit in my chair. I finally realized that I wasn't used to sitting still for so long. It was actually painful! After realizing this, I made it a point to get up and walk every 15 minutes or so---much better.

I shudder when I think back to when I was at my highest weight and working at a desk job. The lack of energy was depressing. I can't wait to see how much more I'm moving when I'm no longer obese!

last week two people asked me if I was losing weight. Was nice to get some validation!

Another one for today - I can cross my legs under my desk!

Even though I didn't walk the dog some days b/c of heat & humidity, Map My Walk shows I walked 41.78 miles in August. And that doesn't count walking around Artstreet and the like. I'm sure I can beat those miles in Sept.
