My most recent NSV is hitting a major bump in the road and not letting it derail me entirely and making a rather speedy comeback. This has been unheard of from me for many, many years. Anything, absolutely anything, was an excuse to eat, drink and be miserable. No longer. That is one BIG NSV for me right there.
Also, yesterday I was thinking about how I don't feel ashamed and exposed anymore. I am now at a weight that I don't stick out like a sore thumb. I used to be so self-conscious of, not only busting out of my clothes but, knowing that the state of the inside of my head was plastered all over the outside of my body.34 -
I really enjoyed my all you can eat meal at Cosmo yesterday.
Up 1lb today (1st gain in 6 months) but my NSV is that after reading so much on here, I now know that it is unlikely to be fat and may be water retention from alllll the carbs and salt eaten yesterday. Will wait til next week and see, but then tis TOM, so may be a couple of weeks before I get another scale victory. And I am fine with that!
and ran 4.1km in 25 mins this morning. Loving C25K
Edited to amend to 4.1km, mis-remembered!24 -
I ate a candy bar and it wasn't even that great. I could have gone without... yay changing taste buds! It's amazing what clean eating does to your body22

I'm wearing a pair of jeans and a dressier top today, last summer I could not button the jeans and the top was very tight. Today they both fit comfortably!25

Didn't eat the cake for a co-worker's retirement. Not because I probably could have logged it and moved on, but because I decided store bought sheet cake was not worth the calories I was saving for a nice dinner with husband tonight! Self-control FTW!
Also, all my new pants (a few weeks old) are loose now- time to make a Goodwill trip.32 -

Breakfast then strawberry picking. Then a second breakfast of yummy strawberries (although that may be the third breakfast - okay, then, elevensies - as second breakfast may just occur in the strawberry fields. The owners do expect that as they charge each person who goes into the fields)

Darn, you found me out. I've managed to fool everyone so far. Even had my children convinced that I was a witch so that they wouldn't discover the secret of the hair on my toes and why I walk barefoot most of the time . . .
We picked 4kg (9lb) of strawberries. We had them for elevensies, lunch and dinner. We skipped afternoon tea and supper today. The strawberries were extremely scrummy18 -
I managed to swim a 1/2 mile today. And that was after lifting weights. I think I should be able to do a mile in a few days.
At some points I was struggling to float, and I realized that the last time I swam I was about 30 lbs heavier. I am guessing I am way less buoyant now.
And something completely different: I am delivering a paper at a conference in a few days, and I am really nervous about it. I don't feel prepared; I'm still writing. This isn't normally like me, and I've been beating myself up ... running out of time and generally feeling like a flake. And I decided at some point this afternoon that I am just done suffering. Because if it weren't the paper, it would be something else. Maybe not immediately or that intensely, but given some time I'm sure I'd fret about something and have my brain try to kill me. So, I decided that my brain can try all it wants. I'm just not listening any more.
Something I really got as a result of my SVs and NSVs -- life is precious. I know it's a cliche, but so what? I decided my conference is going to be fun -- even if the whole thing is messed up, I plan to have it be the most fun I ever had humiliating myself in front of my peers ever! I'd rather it be fantastic and fun, but messed up and fun is OK too.32 -
I made it to the gym for the second time this week and talked myself into doing 5 more minutes than normal on the elliptical. Accomplished that and then also without thinking did 5 more minutes than usual on both the bike and treadmill.
Also, between Sunday's kayaking trip and the gym Monday and today I've already hit my weekly exercise goal for the first time in forever!27 -
I just did the third day in a row of insanity.20

This is actually a thing I discovered too - I had to teach myself to float and swim all over again as I didn't seem to do it as naturally as I did before losing the buoyancy. I now understand how difficult it is for children/non-swimmers to learn.youdoyou2016 wrote: »messed up and fun is OK too.
This is fabulous and something that everyone should accept because life isn't perfect and there will always be something that goes awry.

I had taken a skirt out of mywork rotation as it put too much pressure on my waist. Wearing it today and it's loose!23

I pulled 360 lbs for the first time last night! Two sets of two. This is the second set, so it isn't very pretty. But it happened!!!

May sound dumb, but when I'm out walking, getting my heart racing a vein pops out on my forearm that I haven't seen since I was young. It's not much, but I have l long way to go.28

Love, love, love this!6 -
I think I could have swum a mile today, but stopped at .7 just so I don't push it and re-injure something. (There's a C25K for swimming, which I'm obviously ignoring ...) I'm surprised how much faster I am than when I last swam 10 months ago. Sometimes I notice the difference weight lifting is making in life, but I think because the changes are gradual over time nothing seems remarkably or suddenly different in my day-to-day activities. But my swimming time is a a lot different, which is pretty cool.
I'm still walking a tightrope between total freak out about delivering my scholarship on Saturday -- which I am still figuring out?! -- and "Eh, whatever. It is what it is and I'm just going to have fun." I was thinking how absurd the whole thing is: up at 3AM to catch a flight to Toronto, to the conference, deliver the paper, back to the airport, and then back home to Philadelphia and back to bed. All this time this week and all the travel time and expense for read something for 18 minutes. How ludicrous. The lesson? I don't even want to do this, so -- unless the earth tilts on its axis or something -- this is my last conference presentation. Now THAT is a NSV: me doing what I want to do and not what I think I ought to do. Whoever made up all these "oughts" and "shoulds" is a t*rd.23 -
I noticed that my posture has improved tremendously. I couldn't stand this straight before, as hard as I tried--especially my upper back/neck region.
I did go through a period of shoulder discomfort. I wonder if that was related to my spine straightening?22
