What's Your Most Recent NSV

Today at work my stomach started to growl before lunch, so I ate my banana and yogurt to tide me over. It was only after that that I remembered there were doughnuts today in the conference room. I never ate a free doughnut (the best kind!) all day.

Non weight loss related victory, my husband is officially cancer free! The radiologist signed off on him and now he doesn't need to worry about it until his six month checkup.

Weight related NSV: my new habit is doing a body weight workout while his doctor putzes around taking his own sweet time getting to us. I love the man, seriously, but typically we get escorted into an examination room and then they ignore us for two hours. Two hours of sitting doing nothing drives me bats, so one day I started doing squats and push-ups, and it just sort of went from there. Now it's a habit! So I don't have to fit a doctor's appointment and a workout into my day, I combine them!

You are such a strong person! As is your husband. I'm so happy for the news you got! And what a great way to use up that annoying wait time in exam rooms without an actual doctor!

I keep going to the bathroom and not needing to undoing my pants at all!

It's starting to get colder here now & with less padding, we are sure feeling it! This has resulted in the want for warm drinks aplenty.

Made some vegetable soup today & for the first time ever, weighed & measured everything including the water so I'd know how much a serving is in our bowls or mugs. Didn't even think about it - just did it...usually I'd be saying "It's just vegetable soup...it doesn't matter."

Think I love this change in mindset NSV more than any other I've had so far!

Second NSV was clearing out my clothes properly & trying everything on. Between my lovely hubs & I we gave 2 big bin liners worth to the charity shop yesterday. Feel like I've hardly any clothes left but I did keep some larger items for around the house. I'd tried on some things before to find them too large, but it was a few weeks ago. There was a big difference in how baggy they were even in that time frame. Was sad to see some of them go, but I'm determined they would never fit again & I really hope someone else can get some joy out of them. Onwards & upwards...or is that downwards?

I was at the Express Fashion store this pass weekend. I saw this cute small size tank top. I decided to try it on and it looked really good with my skinny jeans. This is my first tank top purchase since i started my weight loss journey. I took some photos and compared them to my January photos and I saw significant differences. Somedays you just don't see the changes when you look at yourself in the mirror , but the before and after pictures are always proof of your hardwork. I do regret not taking many before pictures. Nonetheless, 2018 will be my official start to my skinny and fabulous adult years. I haven't been a normal small size since 1993/94.

Day 99: I haven't worn these pants in two years!

Everything is too sweet! I've been noticing this getting worse for a while now. The level of sweetness of cake, candy, and icecream that I used to take for granted is now just too much! I can't eat it.

Also, I have all these old pairs of size 12-14 jeans that have always been slightly too big, but good for horseback riding and other activities where I don't want to wear my "good jeans" They are now too big to wear horseback riding, and I really need to get rid of them.

It's my day off and my lunch plans got canceled, but at least I got my workout (leg day) and shower in already.

The department where I work doesn't have treats often but yesterday someone brought in an Ice Cream Cake. I didn't eat any because I just didn't want it.
Also was able to get a 25 mile bike ride in yesterday which felt great. Friday was able to get 38 miles in after being off the bike a couple of weeks due to illness. This time of year it is harder to get rides in because of shorter days.

Today at the gym as I was working on my back squat. I could not help but notice that I felt like I fit in with two beefy dudes on either side of me... doing whatever it was they were doing. I was completely and utterly immersed in a feeling of freedom, of confidence, and of course sweat ...
