What's Your Most Recent NSV

I have made my step goal for 5 days in a row, and this is without my usual lunch walk.

sort of weight related.... but having to adjust my stats on my Polar HRM so I get an accurate reading

I purchased my wedding dress at the end of November. Didn't actually start getting back on track for the weight loss thing until after the new year. Last weekend (3/4) they measured me (I work weekends at the bridal salon) and I am already down 2 sizes from the size of the dress I ordered. The goal is to have the seamstress take it in A LOT!

According to the weather forecast, I didn't stand a chance of getting out on the bike today

Ha! They were wrong , wrong, WRONG.

Went outside, it was spitting a bit. Thought ah, well, get the bike out, check it over and then we'll see.

Still raining a bit but decided to go anyway. Just because.

Within half a mile it started raining. I kept going.

Then that horrible, fine, mist-like rain started. The type that really soaks to the skin. I got wet. Very wet. But I kept going. Even though I couldn't really see through my glasses as they were covered in tiny droplets of rain. My glasses need wipers on.

The rain eventually stopped - hurray! I kept going.

But then, I hit the wind. Or rather the wind hit me. At the bottom of the road on the hill section of my route. It did its best to stop me but I was too far from home not to continue (and I had to get home somehow). So I kept going.

Wet and cold. Not a great combination

Finally, the sun emerged and everything looked so much better. The cold eased a bit, the wetness dried a bit. I probably had a cloud of steam around me as I gently dried out I stopped being in such a hurry and slowed down a bit. I saw some lovely spring-like things - celandines, loads of daffodils, wild grape hyacinths, lots of birds, little things that brought me lots of pleasure. I did take photos but I think that my toddler has been playing with my phone and left sticky fingerprints on the camera lens Next time.

Finished my ride smiling (the motorists must have thought that I was mad, smiling to myself like that. Little do they know!). Got home to find that my darling husband had dinner ready. He really is a star, he never objects when I take myself off for a bike ride or to the gym (although he's usually asleep when I leave for the gym). If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be as fit as I am now.

I can now put my rings on without slathering my hands with lotion.

Now, my NEXT NSV is going to be, I'm fixing to walk to the office kitchen to wash my lunch dishes, and I am NOT going to eat a slice of that banana nut cake I saw down there earlier because I came back to my office and looked it up, and it's 140 calories. (figuring if I claim it beforehand, I'll stick to it )

Today, I had my very first non-family member notice that I'm losing weight. I'm down 23 pounds, but I was beginning to wonder if I still look the same since no one's said anything. Feels great and makes me want to keep going so everyone will see!

I said no to pizza twice yesterday...I know that doesn't sound like a big victory, but it is for me. I am finally beating my own "one more day won't hurt" attitude.

Looking through my logs. I havent went above calories in 6 weeks! And this comment from my brother today, who is the least observant of other people "you're losing weight. " not a question, a statement.

My NSV is wearing this dress. Something I never would have picked out before and it's a size small.
