What's Your Most Recent NSV

was feeling sore grumpy and tired today. today is hike day almost skipped it but went. not only am I no longer sore tired and grumpy I jogged on tje trail for the first time ever!!! I haven't jogged in 7 years but never on a trail till today. it was slow and I went from jogging to walking on and off for half a mile but I JOGGED!!! so so happy with myself. it was on tje way back too when I'm normally so tired.

made me realize how much I jave changed inside and out since may!

My jeans are officially loose! Not just "not tight," but actually loose.

My 3x and 2x pajamas are way too big so I ordered a new pair from Amazon in a size L .... and they fit! I thought I'd order the L instead of XL just to keep me motivated .... now I'm motivated to get to a M!

This morning I put on my jeans to get dressed for work and took notice of how baggy they have become. I was able to pull them down past my hips to take them off without unbuttoning them :-)

I measured myself after a year and lost 7 inches between my bust, waist, and hips! Also realized that at this time last year I was shopping in the plus size section at a size 16 and 0x...now I'm in a size 12 and large. It's not the progress that I had hoped to make, but I'm learning to be happy with steadily moving forward.

The change of attitude is a big win for me as well- I struggle with BED and have always had a very "all or nothing" attitude towards food and fitness progress. Now I'd rather make some progress than none at all!

Having the confidence to buy clothes a bit snug because you know you're still losing and you don't want them to be too big in a few weeks

Having to make a choice - do I give away the yoga pants I took before pics in, or keep them for future progress photos, because wearing them are no longer an option. They are baggy everywhere and today they just wouldn't stay up at all.

I kept a few things to look back on when I forget the progress I made and for my after photos.

Two things today!

Firstly... this is scale-related, but not mine... My hubby's been losing a few pounds as well... not really "into it" in a deliberate sort of way and not counting his calories, but just becoming more aware of calorie content and overeating behaviour as I've been learning it myself and sharing my knowledge with him, and sometimes choosing not to eat as much as he used to. He's "borderline high" in his BMI and would like to not see that message anymore in the health app we use!

Well, this morning when he weighed himself he finally dropped just below 200lbs - he was so pleased with himself! Later when we were grocery shopping I asked him if he wanted to get chocolate peanuts (he loves them), and he said he was just getting plain ones because "now I'm 'onederful' I want to stay that way!"

I'm proud of him too, and I guess the NSV for me is that my new habits are rubbing off on him and quietly guiding him to be healthier without me nagging him - because we all know how well that sort of thing goes over!

Secondly, we nearly always see the same teller in the bank each week and we've known her for almost ten years now - I've always been fat as far as she's concerned. Today she suddenly made a comment about my weight - I don't remember the exact words, but something about how I "keep getting smaller and smaller". She did ask whether it was deliberate and wanted to make sure I wasn't sick, but when I assured her I was fine she congratulated me and said I was looking great. That put a smile on my face for the rest of the afternoon!

my real weight is now LOWER than my driver's license weight!
