It's the 15th!!
Today is a great day to share some Non Scale Victory! You don't have to lost weight to have a non scale victory!!
For example: Yesterday, @fightingthetideofaging of aging unchained himself from too much carrot cake.
@pinktogo2020 committed to consistent exercise and good health.
@Everyone is showing up to reinforce good habits!3 -
My non-scale victories: my clothes fit comfortably and my cardio vascular fitness is the best in several years.

A non-scale victory: my white pencil skirt was too tight to wear in April but for my 60th bday party June 5th it fit perfectly.8

My NSV was that when I had no energy yesterday I knew it was because my body needed rest and not because I'd eaten too much junk or through lack of exercise as has often been the case in the past. I'm now mostly eating healthily and am reasonably fit so those reasons for feeling lethargic no longer apply.8

Check in for today
Exercise: 40 minute walk at lunchtime and 10 minute gentle bike and 15 minutes pilates this evening.
Tracking: good
Calories: just under
Have not met my protein goal the last 2 days but mostly because I've had to eat less calories as I've gone from 500-700 exercise calories to under 200
Plan to do a little more exercise tomorrow but still stay away from intense exercise for one more day to make sure I'm fully recovered.7 -
@craigo3154 I have been with my husband for over 20+ years . He is 13 years older than myself and when you are young you give it no thought. Then one party starts to show signs of dementia and you think oh crap. On excellent days he is the person I married. On rough days he wants to know where his wife is. Thank goodness we don't have too many of those days .9

Exercised?: Yes. Walked 7.5km in 73 minutes (Hills - Twin Peaks walk - Better time than last time I did it).
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
@aeshippers. Great NSV. Sounds like you are on the road to recovery. Do not be concerned with the protein goal during lighter days. Remember, marathon, not sprint. Habits you have been forming over the past months are setting you up for life.
@2020pinktogo. I could not imagine what you go through. You have incredible strength already. Make sure you take care of you (as you have been) as well as your husband. Hopefully the rough days continue to be rare.
@Dosse1320. Well done on fitting into slimmer fit clothes. Must feels great.
@fightingthetideofaging. Happy birthday for yesterday. Even better for resisting temptation. (I Hope I can be as good when my birthday rolls round later this month).
@scubachick67. Well done for committing to stick with UAC this month despite already having 4 passes. Keep forming/re-enforcing the good habits and you will be a winner anyway.
My NSV's are:
- I am wearing new size 92 trousers that I could not fit in a month ago (my wife was looking to donate them to an op shop a couple years ago as they were unworn and she though I would never fit them again). This is down from size 102 two months ago.
- I beat my previous time on the twin peaks walk. Was not as out of breath as I have been on previous days I've done this walk.
- I discovered my digital bathroom scales batteries were dying (resolution issues) and the batteries have now been replaced (interested to see if they behave now). I had evidence my bathroom scales really were lying.

- Increased the difficulty of my weekly bodyweight strength routines as they were starting to get too easy (again).
Looking forward to when the 92's are as loose as the 102's now are. I think my optimal size may be between 82 and 87.

Its my weigh in day and I have stayed the same. Tbh, thats the result I deserve.
NSV, I found a hunk standing on my scales! Lol. I have tightened my belt and there are a few rolls shrinking from my back.

I'm obviously not in the challenge "Winner's Circle" this month, but I am in my on winner's circle (the "Never Give Up" challenge.) When I don't get enough sleep for a few nights, it's worse than any kind of binging that I could do. Without sleep, my focus slips, cravings increase, energy goes downhill, ... So for the past week, I've been focusing on getting my sleep schedule back on track. Finally have a couple of nights in a row that have been a little better. This will make it easier to stick to the better food choices and stay focused on everything that needs to get done today. As for exercise, I have been very active through all of this and have the sore muscles to prove it.
My NSV today: The little garden that I planted this year is starting to produce some fresh vegetables and herbs that are wonderful to include into daily eating. Also, being down about 40 pounds from where I originally started makes it so much easier to do the gardening, the house projects, and the hobbies. Sore muscles feel like a blessing. 5 -
I love everyone's NSV's. Mine are 1) I track every day. 2) I have done some form of workout or high burn activity for 24 straight days. 3) I am fitting in clothes I couldn't last summer 4) I am learning to let go of the "perfectionist" mentality. 5) No matter how tired I am, I make sure to "check in".3

Happy Belated bday @fightingthetideofaging!1

My non-scale victories: I can wear shirts that I couldn't weeks ago and that feels amazing,And last month I could only walk 6-8 miles before having shin / calf pain, And now I can walk 10-13Miles with no pain and at 4mph compared to 2.7/3 So that's amazing.
The current me compared to last month feels like night and day even tho I was active last month it's nowhere
near this months. (I do wish the weight loss would show better so starting keto)

I love reading everyone's NSV's. It is always inspiring!
My top current NSV's
1. I realized when I left the grocery store the other day that I did not buy any food/treats to eat on the way home in the car..... and that I had not for a good three months. This is big, because this was a not so great habit of mine. Best part, it hasn't even been crossing my mind to get something.
2. I can fit into all of my clothes (and had to buy smaller shorts)
3. I am back to running longer distances. Still babying past injury, but lots of progress.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 183 minutes of walking (154 was at 4mph) I sweated like a mad man
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
Weekly Mile Goal - (11.61 / 25) Encase anybody is wondering I start it on thursday and end it when I hit 25 but lately I've been hitting 45+Miles a week. My body does feel alot better and full of energy this month.
On a side note I'm changing my calorie budget as I've been allowing myself to snack abit more on my sunchips or a sandwich as im more active cause it says (*You've earned 1,316 extra calories from exercise today) And I think that number might be off by a good bit which is why Im not seeing the results I hoped to see, So I plan to set 1900 as my limit and just never exceed that limit even if Im extremely active
Always good to stay positive!3 -
WOW, thank you everyone for the kind words and birthday wishes...you all are the best!!
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yep...45 minute Hi Low HIIT class, followed by a 45 minute Barre class
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes2 -
Love all the NSV's. We are all so much more than that stinking scale number.
I have one more to add....my shape is coming back. My waist line is more defined, my hips are not so padded and my back fat is slimming down too. I think at the end of the month when I do my measures, I might take a new set of progress pics.
Yes I exercised.....45 minutes of cardio, 15 of strength and 60 minutes of painting in 90+degree weather.
Yes-I tracked and stayed under my calorie range.
It's been a good day. Good night y'all.3 -
Thanks everyone for sharing your NSVs! I hate being chained to the scale and what it says. I always feel so much better when the victory is qualitative instead of quantitative.
My NSV... While I was talked into getting lunch today (after my boss brought in smoothies for everyone--I'm well fed at work!), I split my meal in half AND tracked AND did not eat more for the rest of the day because lunch already pushed me over my calorie limit, and then I exercised until I burned those calories off! Also, today I was able to get through the full 25 minutes of cardio in the T25 program, and I even did an extra 10 minutes on top of that. So yes, yes, and yes.4 -

Yes x 3. Lifted weights and then biked for 30 min. My bday is tomorrow and everyone brought in food to work to celebrate today. Uhg! (not working tomorrow) .Ended up fine though, as I mostly just ate some veggies, thanked everyone a ton and it wasn't a big deal. I am totally waiting until tomorrow to splurge and was not gonna turn this into a multi-day affair.4 -
@Gus130 Congratulations my friend!!!!!0

Late checkin here.
Two x yes. I never got to do exercise, between dinging the car and getting told off at work for my hair!1 -
Pass #2
Today was an enforced rest day ... I was busy during the day, I intended to do a quick walk after my daughters play but it went on later than expected, and then we had a house full till 1 AM .. However I did walk back home from the school because I realised I wasn't going to get any more than that ... 1/4 of a mile is better than nothing!
I did log and stay in cal goal but only managed 5 mins of walking ,,,
eek!! 14 days and only one pass left ..SimonsChange wrote: »On a side note I'm changing my calorie budget as I've been allowing myself to snack abit more on my sunchips or a sandwich as im more active cause it says (*You've earned 1,316 extra calories from exercise today) And I think that number might be off by a good bit which is why Im not seeing the results I hoped to see, So I plan to set 1900 as my limit and just never exceed that limit even if Im extremely active
I set my number at 1800 (apparently that's what 140lb me should be eating) as I'm also not too sure about the burns MFP suggests ... I do have the odd naughty including "gasp" beer ... but hey I'm not in a hurry this is a life change its not a diet and we have to incorporate the things we enjoy too 4 -
Hello!
Track all I ate? Yes
Stay in budget? No(by 35 calories!)
Did you get active? Yeah! Six mile walk!5 -
Yes x 3!!2
-
Yes to all three!
NSV I have realize that when I don't eat a conscious meal, I end up eating more calories in junk snacks than I would have eaten in a meal. Taking the time to sit down and eat helps me make better decisions and think clearly.3
