What's Your Most Recent NSV

Out running today and I was running faster than the paving roller (not sure what it is called but used in construction to pack/roll asphalt) was moving down the street!!!!! Put the jets on a bit to move faster & exchanged knowing looks with the driver as I left him in my dust! You know, one of those moments when you get what the other person is thinking!!

Anyway, a humorous NSV!

I am in the Drive-Thru line at Chick-fil-A and I am actually grumpy cuz I'm having to wait for my fruit cup ?????!!!!
I am so craving fruit right now !
if you would of told me that 6 months ago, I woulda laughed at you ....maybe for my nuggets but not for a fruit cup!
Happy my appetite and craving are changing to the healthyside!

The sole of my hiking shoe totally ripped off the upper after our first hike, but didn't let that deter me--put on my Merrill barefoot trail shoes and rocked (pun intended) the next two hikes. NSV is that we are centering our whole vacation on activity--well, and some well-deserved relaxation afterwards!

My NSV is that i joined a crossfit box last month and it is a big change from working out alone to working in a group and not sure I would like it but it turns out it is just what I needed. So nsv is I found the best exercise routine for me as I have been reading how many people here enjoy their exercise and now I understand as I cant wait to go back to the next class.

I was assistant refereeing a local women's league soccer game last night. I know just enough Spanish to realize a couple of ladies on the sideline were talking about my bum. In complimentary terms....

Oh, wow! Another one for today if I may: my pants (6's) look ridiculous, and wearing them without a belt is not an option. I couldn't find any 4's at my local Goodwill just now, and decided to purchase a few 2's thinking they're inexpensive and at least I'll have them if I ever need them someday. Well, someday is today! And some of the 2's are loose. (I told you my 6's look ridiculous!)

so, I could not even run a mile in January without stopping to walk because my joints would hurt. I just ran 9 miles this morning... in 90 minutes.

This is my goal! I started C25K late February.

Can I ask how much you weigh?

I don't run.

I never have (Intentionally) run.

I have run after the children in order to prevent bad things happening.

I hated running at school, and just used to walk around whatever circuit had been selected. I was always last back to the showers (although this was good as the showers were empty by the time I got there).

However, since improving my health and fitness, I have wanted to run.

ME. Wanting to run. My school PE teacher would faint if she knew . . .

I damaged my knee last year in a biking accident and was really annoyed as I'd planned to join a C25K group and had to put it off as I was worried that my knee would not cope with the pounding.

A couple of weeks ago, I did a couple of tiny, tiny sprints. My knee was fine during and afterwards.

A couple of days ago, I downloaded the C25K app.

Today, I gently persuaded my son to do the first workout with me. He eventually conceded.

This afternoon, we completed the first workout, so I ran for a total of 8 minutes.

Me. Running. ME.

We both enjoyed it, and found it was a bit easier than we'd expected. One condition of my son joining me was that he could opt out after the first workout. He's chosen to continue, so the second workout is on Monday. We're both looking forward to it.


But . . . ME! RUNNING!!!




*** TMI ALERT *** I was concerned that my pelvic floor would let me down (after four babies, the last two weighing 9.5lbs and 11lbs) but it was fine. No sneaky leakage at all. This may have been a factor in waiting so long to do this, if I'm honest. Although the knee injury is very real and causes discomfort. The physios think it'll take two years to heal fully but I'm not holding my breath on that forecast!

Update on the Mexican dinner out with friends last night. I went with a friend, it was storming something awful and we were the 2nd and 3rd to arrive, two more came together a bit later and the 6th was a no show, no call, so ended up waiting a good long while before we ordered, with those chips and bowls of salsa staring me in the face and my stomach grumbling. I finally gave in and had some, but I ordered the salad minus the cheese and dressing and asked for some limes to squeeze on it. It was so delicious! Also I passed on the margarita and went for the unsweet iced tea with lime and logged everything, even the chips and salsa and ended up with a 147 calorie deficit after exercise, so I feel like that was a major NSV! The rain slowed to a sprinkle after I got home so I suited up and walked off my step goal for the day and when I logged in on Garmin Connect (My activity tracker site that syncs with MFP) I saw that not only was I good on calories for the day but it was my 11th day in a row of meeting or exceeding my step goal. Now to conquer water! I'm feeling MIGHTY GOOD!

I realised today that it takes way less effort to sit hugging my legs to my chest. I can also sit that way on the computer chair, I've never been able to do that!

I never machine dry my jeans because they'll shrink and be too short. But now they're baggy. So I've just dried them. They may be a little short, but at least they're not falling down. Time to get some in the next size down, I think.

Me too!!! I just pulled three pairs out of the drier!!! First time I dried my jeans - hope it works!!

2nd NSV: swapped out my Fitbit band to the small size. Feeling pretty smug.

I took a full body picture at an event today with three other smaller ladies. I wasn't intimidated or embarrassed to be next to people much thinner than me, I wasn't comparably huge

I did my first 5K last week. 46:21 by my watch. I was hoping for better than 50, so I was happy.

Did a 5K Park run today and almost broke 40. 40:02 according to the official time (40:58 by my watch but I forgot to turn it off right away).

Well. I thought I was happy last week. Today was 38:37. Knocked almost 1 1/2 minutes off last week.

Completed my first Ragnar Trail Run today!! It was freaking phenomenal!! I was the "newer" runner on the team with having just started Oct 2016, but I MORE than held my own time wise (for what I'd committed to doing) for each leg of the relay race!

Trail running requires a lot of leg strength due to the terrain resistance, constant inclines, and the requirement that we jump over roots, debris etc that may be on the trail...my weight lifting certainly came in handy and assisted with "leveling the playing field" a bit since I'm not a particularly fast runner YET. :-) My quickest time was on the "harder" (red trail) since I didn't have to stop at all for the inclines... just ran right up them. Soooo happy it's over now though! :-)

Oh yeah and last notch on the small Fitbit is now looser.. may have to look into xsmall wrist bands soon.
