What's Your Most Recent NSV

I bought a shirt off the rack yesterday without trying it on at the store. I got home and tried it on and it was too big! I had to go return it and buy a medium!!

I have not eaten one, no not even 1, Cadbury egg yet this season!

So.

That Mars bar.

The one that's been in and out in my fridge more times than a left arm in the "Hokey Cokey".

I'm sad to say that it finally took its last journey today and served the purpose for which it was intended.

BUT NOT down MY throat. My teenage daughter ate it.

The temptation has been removed

I went shopping in my closet! I realized that my size 14 jeans were falling down so I was brave enough to try on the 12's. A month or so ago I couldn't pull them up beyond my rather large thighs and rear end. I tried on the 12's and could button them. They were snug but I could wear them (I knew they would loosen up a bit from wearing them). So I went through my box of "too small" clothes that is stuffed in the back of my closet and pulled out some more jeans and some scrubs I haven't worn in a long time. It felt great!

Closet shopping ROCKS!!!

*kitten* willow,

That made me laugh.

I didn't even realise it had done that! Close enough though I guess. For the more confused, here's the Latin/scientific name: Salix caprea

Omg, I'm dying. So funny! When I was little I actually tried to name my cat P€$$¥ Willow (altered to avoid the mod bots), because he was really fluffy and reminded me of the plant...and I was pretty determined about giving him--yes, him--that name, so my poor parents had to stumble through the most awkward explanation ever of why that would not be a good name for kitty and the kinds of issues that might be caused by our calling for him outside. We ended up naming him Tommy instead.

Oh, and I have a new NSV. I have to actually scrunch my face down to make a double chin now. It's not just hanging out there on its own anymore.

My ex step sister had a cat named Puss Puss. That was fun to yell out the door when the cat got out...

LOL! My boss told me about his cat they named Sexy (!) anyway one day he was trying to find her as she ventured out their front door. he was only wearing underwear (just woke up) and here he was calling out here Sexy where are you sexy...as a couple of people walked past their gate

Lots of life-stuff going on in Feb... and out of the blue last week I clearly recognized the re-emergence of my (old) emotional eating habit.

I swear it is like this monster in my closet.

The NSV - now I recognize it.
Now I just have to work on recognizing it before it rears its ugly head not after - lol.

This is a huge step...and once you recognize it you can figure out what else you need to do to cope!

On Tuesday I ran a full 5K with two zombie chases thrown in and wasn't even tired. So, today I started a 5 to 10K program. This is a big NSV for me because I thought running just the 5K was so hard and took so long for me to do, the idea of 10K wasn't even an option. I thought, oh, 5K at my snail pace is awesome for an obese person, maybe when I lose more, I'll try longer runs. Nope. I completed W1D1 on my old challenging 10K walking route. I ran all my intervals including some grueling hills.

I also got another cheerleader today! A guy driving a big rig tapped his horn as he drove by and gave me a rather excited two thumbs up. All the positive attention from strangers on the street has certainly been encouraging, even if the sight of a truck driver with zero hands on the wheel is a bit unnerving.

today I didn't want to go to the gym. I was running late and it wasn't the class I thought it was going to be. However, its whooped my *kitten* and I felt so pleased I had made it after all

My smaller scrubs are actually accentuating my now smaller body. My fiancé pointed out that I have an hourglass figure again (yay!) And also, possibly TMI, he pointed out that I have lost my second butt cheek!

I did SIX pull-ups in a row!

Past couple of days, I kept having to pull up my britches. Then it hit me. I notched one over on my belt, and everything is stable now.

I have the day off so yay! I'm meeting up with a friend and instead of going for some type of high calorie coffee and a muffin, we're going for a cross country ski. I truly love my life right now and feel like I'm in my 20's again (I'm 55 LOL). This friend is one that I've known for several years but only become closer since starting this weight loss journey. Every social encounter with my best friend from my previous life involved too much food and too much alcohol. There are lots of posts on here about "toxic" friends but the reality is that sometimes, for your own health, you just have to make new friends that encourage your efforts

Bruh. Y'all aren't gonna believe me when I tell you ... I have successfully HALTED a binge. In. Its. Tracks.

You see, I've been preparing for this day. I KNEW that once I lost my first 5 pounds, I would want to binge. I also KNEW that if I did binge, it would take WEEKS to get back on track. So I had a big breakfast and held on for as long as possible.

As for how I stopped my binge, it wasn't too original: I just ate. 16 grapes and a pack of gummies. The sugar and the little treat will hold me until lunch. Then I can refuel and ride things out until track practice. Once I get to track, I will be working out so I won't be hungry

someone said to me ''oh you looks like youve lost weight''
yes, yes i have
