What's Your Most Recent NSV

Our annual company meeting was this week so I saw remote employees I hadn't seen for about a year. Had to laugh because I got compliments on changing my hair, but not the 85 pounds lost. Lol at least they noticed /something/ was different

I had a lot of errands to run today and wasn't able to do my morning workout. When I got home, the kids didn't nap. I was so tired and feeling lazy.

But finally pushed myself to get that workout done at 11:30pm! So it still counts as Friday's workout haha

I've had the best freaking week! First, my scale victory: I am now officially in onederland!! My starting weight was 267.8 and I'm now 199.8. Now my NSV: I ran a 5k on Saturday (my 5th so far), and it was HOT. I was miserable the whole time. I kept thinking how much. I wanted to quit. But I finished and didn't stay around for the awards ceremony. Come to find out I won 3rd place in my age group!!!! I get a special medal and everything! Third: when I was taking my race bib off, I hadn't noticed the whole race but my bib number is my goal weight! So I put that thing on the fridge to remind me that if you want to reach your goals, you gotta work for it even when you don't want to and even when it's HOT!

Wonderful post!! Love that you have your race bib on your fridge!

I'm not ordering a pizza today. I'm not ordering a pizza today. I'm not ordering a pizza at anytime this weekend. Believe it or not, this has become a victory after a few bad weekends, and I'm proud of myself. I'm still not ordering the pizza. I'll repeat it all weekend to myself.

Love this post. Go you!

Just plodded 25 minutes . . . C25K Week 7 Day 1 complete

Also hit my fastest speed this year on the bike last night:




43.7MPH!

Just don't tell my daughter, she has nightmares that I'm going to fall off at high speed. I keep telling her that I've got life assurance but she still worries . . .

Just wanted to say that I love your new profile pic, Leah!

Thank you!! I am always worried that no one will recognize me anymore haha.

Today is my 500th day on MFP.

Ran my 4th 5K today, but this time my husband ran it with me! I'm glad I listened to other MFPers and just led by example. My husband decided on his own to start running since I was loving it so much. I never wanted to pressure him into anything, but he naturally ended up wanting to exercise and eat healthier with me. I feel so blessed to find so many new activities we can do together!

Btw I am 6'1" and 234 pounds, down from 319! Husband is 6'2" and 176.

I've had something of a mind shift lately. I've been so focused on what I have achieved, losing weight and getting fit. I'm always going to be proud of what I've achieved and I will willingly share my story with anyone I think I can help.

But I've had a realization of sorts. I'm no longer the former fat man turned slim. I've spent so long with that label in my head. This is my new reality. I'm going to make damn sure I'm never going to gain weight again. We moved to a new town several months ago. The people in this town don't know I used to be heavy. They just know me as they see me now. Unless I choose to tell them my story. They just see me as someone who is not overweight. So that's who I'm going to see myself as from now on. I'm always going to be proud of the way I've turned my health around but from this moment going forward I'm just going to enjoy who I am now. After all, I've worked hard for this. I have literally worked my *kitten* off!

I don't know if this makes sense. It's hard to put into words but this is how I'm feeling now. So this is my NSV. Changing the way I see myself.

I put my jeans in the dryer so that they can shrink and fit better.... Well that's different! I almost always hang to dry my clothes so they keep their shape and won't shrink.... now I NEED them to shrink!!

OMG I've been doing the same thing...I got 3 new pairs of jeans for Christmas and I've been trying to shrink them. It's so frustrating to have to get new clothes, but also so exciting!
