What's Your Most Recent NSV

This may be a bit graphic, but I can now fully wash my entire back in the shower. Bye bye loofa on a stick!

Yesterday I did my first brick workout in preparation for the sprint triathlon I'll be doing in May. Then I got a pedicure and the people at the nail salon I've been going to for 2 years told me they didn't recognize me because I'd lost so much weight.

Yesterday I bought a bra from Target.

No, you don't get it. I had to buy all my bras either from the fat lady store or online because regular stores just didn't carry my size. Yesterday I bought a bra from FREAKING TARGET. You don't know how happy this makes me.

I totally get it! (I'm down to a 36DDD from a 44G.) Congratulations!

Back to doing squats in the bus stop in the morning! Yay. Oh, and planks at work in 45 sec increments with my office door closed, bien sur.

It is incredible how quickly - if you stop doing these, that is - that your body objects!

I wish I had an office to do this! I work in retail... people would panic if I started planking in the aisle...

Just had my one month post-op appointment. The surgeon says in 2 weeks I'll have no physical restrictions! "That way you can start training for a marathon" he joked. I told him I'd actually like to train for a half marathon and an Olympic Triathlon later this year but wasn't sure if that was feasible as I'll need another follow up procedure. He got the biggest smile on his face. He told me to prioritize my training, to call him with my event dates, and he'll schedule my follow-up around my training. How awesome is that?!

Being able to shop in the Misses section instead of the Women's Department. Being able to choose clothes rather than settle for something that fits. My feet and fingers also seem to be shrinking! Crazy.

The single leg plank (1 min total) has become my "rest exercise" in the middle of my weights workout. Looking back at my journal, I did my first plank 2 years ago this week and barely lasted 30 seconds.

What a great doc to work with and around a patients wants and needs. Fantastic to have such a support that prioritise both your own health/exercise goals as well as your health requirements. Wonderful!
