What's Your Most Recent NSV

Had a snow day yesterday (even though we didn't really get any snow), but had a few NSV even though the darn scale isn't being so nice to me:
1. Made sure to get my butt off the couch and walk on the treadmill to get in all my steps for the day instead of just laying around counting the hours down until the next day (I never would have done this in the past and HECK, I wouldn't have had a treadmill in the house in the past either)
2. Decided to go in to the "other closet" ... the one with the clothes I haven't worn in ~3years and almost everything fit!!! In fact, some of the dresses were so cute that I've brought them out to start rotating in my work trip wardrobe - time to stop wearing tents and actually making an effort again, even if I have another 70lbs to lose.30 -

This has been making me laugh throughout the day. Especially when I happen to look down. I used to always feel so self-conscious and embarrassed -- even as a child when I was thin. Now I'm like, "Eh. Whatever."
I whooshed!
Actually, my NSV is that after 3 wks of weight lifting, I saw my upper arm this morning and had to do a double-take. Is that me?! I have a line in my arm. It doesn't look like a baseball bat, but there is an indentation. Dare I call it, "definition"? Like how people with muscles look.

Another NSV. For the past month and the half every morning I started doing 1500 steps before I leave home for work. So I usually spend 10 minutes marching in place and doing some light jogging. I decided today to jog faster for 6 minutes non-stop and I was surprised I was able to do it and I wasn't even tired. I could've gone longer. I met my 1500 step target. My heart rate stayed at 140 which means I must be doing it right. I think may start running by Summer time.19

well first of all - last Friday I went shopping for some new spring/summer clothes and actually had to buy a M in some stuff... I about died...
I also ordered a bunch of stuff online and about half the tops have to be returned for M's because L is just too big in some cuts.
SECONDLY - and this is the big one - I am feeling myself so hard today!!!! I look amazing. Friday I bought this outfit because I had an interview for a new job at work today. And I look and feel PHENOMENAL in it. like completely AMAZING. And I've gotten so many compliments about how beautiful/pretty/amazing/skinny/etc I look! and I love it.
Also since I'm wearing a dress today I keep checking out my legs and those bad boys look FINE. like much definition is present.
This has made me so excited for summer and really helped me find the motivation I have been lacking for my workouts lately.

After 3 months of 5K distances I did 10K for the first time last night. It was a much slower pace (62mins) compared to my 5K pace (26min) but I just wanted to see if I could actually do it. Such an amazing feeling. I finally feel like I can call myself a runner. So to all you C25K users out there, keep at it, it does get easier (but then you find you push yourself more!).32

Another nsv this week.... just bought size 2 shorts and THEY FIT!!!!32

Another running-related NSV for me. My previous NSV was coming third in my age group in a 5k road race. This weekend I ran another 5k race and came second (out of 51) in my age group. And in temperatures of 0 deg F too.
Nothing can wipe the stupid grin off my face.34 -
I went down a size in pants37

I've knocked over 5 minutes off my 5k time, seems less mass is easier to move. Who knew, right? I also have all but eliminated shin pain when running. Both are a big deal for me.29

Looks like a running theme, I will add in. I had surgery a month ago, 1.5 weeks ago I was cleared to resume normal activities. Today during my lunch I ran for 20 out of the 25 minutes I used to do before surgery. (First time running since surgery. ) It felt fantastic.20

I've been trying to not spend too much money on clothing while losing weight, since I don't know what's going to fit once I reach my goal, but I finally decided to reward myself for almost twenty pounds lost by taking advantage of some season-end sales that are going on right now.
When I got to the store, I honestly had no idea what size I even wear anymore. At the beginning of my weight loss journey in January (around 180 at 5'5"), I was struggling to get into Larges and XLs in some clothes, but I knew I had lost some weight and so I grabbed a few things in Medium and Large.
Well, one of the side effects of big clearance sales is that things tend to get a bit disorganized on the racks. Two of the dresses I grabbed were on the wrong hanger for their size. When I thought I was trying on large, I was actually trying on medium, and when I thought I was trying on medium, I was actually trying on small. You catch my drift...
Anyway, both dresses fit!
Let me repeat that. I was able to wear both a small and a medium in several different dresses, it turns out, with the small being a bit on the snug side and the medium being a tad looser.
I know it probably has something to do with vanity sizing, but there is no way that I could have squeezed into those dresses (vanity sizing or not) two months ago. The dresses still looked impossibly tiny to me when I wasn't wearing them, and I couldn't believe that they even fit on my body. I almost cried at the revelation.
In the end, I decided to go with the small size, since I still have twenty pounds to lose.40 -

This is so great to hear!! I'm starting week 6 of C25K this week, but I just ran my first 5k last Saturday. While I ran the whole thing, my pace was 40 minutes. I want so badly to finish in 30 or under! Thinking about starting C25K again when I finish the program from about week 4 to try to speed up my pace!

Putting on my snow pants (which I could not wear at all last winter cuz I had grown too big) and finding that - even cinched as tight as they would go - they would NOT stay up until I pinned them to my sweatshirt with two big diaper pins.34

I've had a bleugh kind of day today - haven't wanted to do anything, didn't want to go to the gym this morning (but went), didn't want to go out for our family walk (but went as I'd promised my toddler that I'd take her to the park), didn't want to go out for a bike ride either. This is really not like me - these days anyway; if it was 18 months ago then it would have been normal behaviour for me.
A gorgeous, warm, sunny day. My husband had replaced the rear tyre and serviced my bike so no excuse not to go, other than I was feeling "bleugh". My toddler said to me, "Mummy, you need to go for your bike ride, it's a lovely day, you MUST go". So I did. Within two minutes of starting out, I wanted to go home and soak in a bath.
I kept going (as I felt that I couldn't just turn around and flee for home). Got a bit further and the wind started blowing. Another headwind I still wanted to go home but thought that I'd go a bit further, just to say that I had been for a cycle ride.
Got up the first killer hill, thinking I'll just get to the top then I can turn around and go home. Then the second killer hill, same thoughts. Then the third, same thoughts. And so on. Then I approached the hill from hell (part one). As I was slogging up it, I was thinking, well, I'm feeling bleugh so I can always get off and walk if I want to. No-one will know I kept going, slogging away up the hill.
Got to the top of that hill and decided that I'd go home rather than go up hill from hell part two. But then I thought, I've only been out for an hour, I'll just slog up the hill and then I'll turn around and go home.
Slogged up the hill and eventually got to the top. Now, the good thing about getting to the top of the hill from hell part two is the ride back DOWN the hill. But I got to the top and kept going, even though I wanted to go home. I'm like "WTH am I DOING??? Home is the OTHER way".
I kept going. Hill from hell part two loops back around to hill from hell part one, so back up part one I go, thinking, "I'm not going to make this, I am not going to make this". I made it. To the top without getting off.
Then I'm at the top of that one, and on the verge of hill from hell part two. Turn left, I go up the hill Turn right, I go down the hill. I turned left. I don't know why, probably just to prove something to myself. Even when feeling bleugh.
Got to the top and that was it. Enough. I turned the bike around and went home. DOWN the hill. I decided not to use the brakes at all on the way down, just for fun. And it was fun, the best part of the ride. And this is why:
40.3MPH. That was so worth the slog up the hill, the going out when I felt so bleugh. Got home and collapsed into a hot bath (as I was frozen; I stupidly went out without a coat, not realising that it was windy). Got out of the bath and found that DH had made dinner. Not such a bad day after all

I know, it's awesome isn't it. Some of my clothes that I have kept for years I have now thrown away as even though they fit I no longer like them....
