What's Your Most Recent NSV

My running belt was falling off my waist today as I was heading for my walk/run. I will need to adjust the strap! I definitely feel my stomach has gone in slightly. Just ever so slightly

Today I didnt bring a belt to work because I was going to wear the tightest khakis I own, which in the very recent past could barely button...

when I realized they wouldn't stay up without a belt... I had to use a shoestring* to tie the belt loops behind my back, and hide it by wearing a coat all day!

*of all the things in my office, this seemed the most MacGyver-able

I put on a shirt that fit great last winter. I didn't notice until I got to work, but it now falls off my shoulders and my sleeves look like wings. Think I need new winter clothes.

Hit 2 non-scale goals this week! I finally weigh less than my skinny 6'4" husband (I'm 5'6"), and I finally found boots that my calves will fit into! Most wide-calf boots still won't fit, but I'm super happy with these. Woohoo!

I'm recently back on my plan. I struggle with self control and emotional eating. Today I turned down a free lunch from my boss from Chick-fil-A (my fav) and rather than grabbing a snack at the gas station, my usual, I talked myself down. I am 180 calories below my calorie goal today and I feel so proud of myself.

This morning, I tried regular push ups. I could do 4 sets of 5 push ups. They are not 100% perfect, but there is some progress. I could barely do one a month ago.

Last night I stopped eating White Fudge Oreos after 3. Normally, I would have eaten every single one of them. Note to self, don't buy those anymore.

Pulled out winter coat and looks like a trashbag on me!

My husband's morning schedule has changed this week, so he needs to be in the shower at the time I am normally done with my morning workout and need the shower as well. In the past I would have used this as an excuse not to workout (and shower earlier during my workout time) but not this week! I am simply using a different shower (which seems like a really simple solution, but in the past I was looking for any excuse to skip the workout!)

Managed not to succumb to the boxes and boxes of pizza in the break room today!!! Woo hoo, I'm strong!

I spent a good 20 minutes today looking at myself in the mirror realizing FINALLY my double chin has become non existent unless im like trying for it. To this day i hold my face in a way to hide it but now its just gone XD

Finding out that I'm a size 6 rather than an 8, and that I truly wear size small shirts.

I can fit in a size 13 without a muffin top!!!!!!!!! I started at a size 18-20 and honestly don't remember the last time I wore a size 13, maybe middle school?

I've started to notice that daily life is easier -- my walking-around pace is faster, I feel lighter on my feet, I'm not red-faced and out of breath all the time. This feels fantastic.

Honestly, my NSV is that I'm even back and this committed! I lost about 20lbs in 2012 and was looking fierce, but over the last few years my priorities changed, I was working a lot, I got a job with a brewery which basically means more free beer than I can drink.... All the weight came back and I've been going back and forth for about a year knowing I needed to turn things around but only really making half hearted attempts. I think it finally got "bad enough" that I'm just ready! I've been logging, working on cutting down my alcohol intake, trying to get back to a normal workout routine.

I really feel like this is the time I really get back on the wagon. It's like a switch flipped and I'm back in the mode I was in when I first lost the weight!
