What's Your Most Recent NSV

Somewhere in the last 15 seconds of my final jogging interval of c25k I hit 13.1km/h!!! My goal was to hit 12km/h. Smashed it! Was really good to hit it because I waa kinda sluggish on my first couple of jog intervals.
Hit 9km/h for 1 and a half minutes yesterday at bootcamp. When the instructor yelled 30 seconds to go I cranked it up to 9.5. He was watching as I did it and commented on how proud that made him #Winning.
Had time to ride Shakaya after my walk this morning so instead of sitting around home I went out to the paddock and rode into the showgrounds (paddock is only a kilometer out of town) and done a quick 30 minute training session on the drums. Plan to work Gina this afternoon.

I have two: NSV #1).I recently went to an event to see old friends who haven't seen me since I started my weight loss journey back in March. I was shocked when someone said I looked 20 years younger. Of course, I didn't believe him. As the evening went on, not 1, not 2 but 3 people said the same thing. Those comments made me feel great. As of this week I've lost 52.5 lbs.
NSV# 2.) I had to finally break down and buy a new winter coat since my old one was a size 2X. My new one is now a size 12. I don't ever remember having a coat that small. Woo Hoo.

Pulled a bin of old clothes from the attic, all size 8s or small. Everything I've tried on thus far either fits or is slightly too big.

I ran today, despite being stressed out and slightly sick. Also, non health related, but one of my students emailed me and said that I made accounting fun to learn. That's not something you hear every day.

Just wanted to say that your student is not right int he head.

(I'm a CA, CPA).

bundled up to run some errands in this 15 degree weather... and realized that it's a lot easier to layer when all your clothes are way too big for you

I'm pre-emptively posting this one because I am willing it to remain true. Major stressor #2 is resolved but was quickly replaced with a new one. I haven't eaten my feelings yet and I don't intend to. So, here's to it being written and remaining true. I will not eat my stress today.

Just got new jeans - six sizes smaller than the ones I was wearing in the spring.

...... and then I ate Christmas crack for breakfast....BUT i did not take any with me for work so yet another NSV

My clothes are looser and my ring size has gone down 2 sizes.

Two fabulous nsv's today:
1.) I woke up this morning feeling "sad/sorry for myself" because the scale hasn't YET gotten back down to my lowest weight that it before thanksgiving thanksliving...I immediately started purposely thinking of all the the "good and excellent" things that's been happening in my life to ward off/fight those "blues" INSTEAD of "feeding/giving place" or allowing that mind-set to get a "hold" of me/my thoughts. Wow--once I purposely NOTICED them, I immediately started being/thinking about all the positive stuff that's happening in my life AND being thankful for the nasty stuff too, acknowledging that these so-called negative things are only helping me to become more and more patient with myself and others (among other important and necessary learning tools). I started getting my thankful and grateful on big time, just counting my "blessings" and recalling how fun and cool this "race" is and BAM...instant relief or even better, instant joy replaced those negative and discouraging thoughts and "feelings". Kick them to the curb, where they truly belong.

2.) Went to get my teeth cleaned today, and my dentist (who I haven't seen in 6 months--since I started my weight, stinkin thinking and whole lifestyle change quest) and she just kept staring at me and smiling. Then she said "you look so different, so much younger or something...whatcha doing?!?". I told her I lost 25lbs, that it was 32lbs down, but I gain a bit back over the holidays. She told me I'm looking good and she can see a big difference in me. This is the first person (outside my family or friends) that NOTICED and said something and it made me feel like a million bucks, TAX-FREE!

YAY!!!!
