What's Your Most Recent NSV

Riding around with my daughter and her family looking at Christmas lights, I sat in the way-back with my granddaughters in the little center seat between their two boosters. One of those unexpected, spur-of-the moment NSV's, even more wonderful because the girls and I had so much fun.22

I can see more definition in my waist. I only measure myself once a month so I'm unsure as to whether I'm imagining things or I really did lose inches in my waist. I feel good about it though.

14 months apart. I actually took about a 6 month break from April to October where I gained about 15 pounds. Still 50 pounds lighter than just over a year ago and about 8 inches smaller in the waist. I feel so much better physically and self-esteem wise. About 50 more to go!30 -
I brought the leftover cake from my son's birthday party to work for my co-workers instead of eating it myself at home!22

Flew this weekend, first time since 30 lb loss. Crossed my legs in the middle seat, ha! Also able to rest my head on my arms on the tray and catch a nap, haven't been able to do that 20 years 17

Able to do the hamstring exercise on my elbows and knees for my first time ever! (I usually substitute a standing version.) I couldn't even do the elbows and knees version when I was in my 20s (51 now). Woot!13

I drink coffee not in itself a NSV but I also use sugar in my coffee. I've tried no sugar sweetener but don't care for the after taste. Well in the last 2 months I've dropped from using over 8 teaspoons of sugar to using 4 teaspoons. I'm still working on lowering that but I call that a NSV for me. Maybe in the next 2 months I can get to 1 or none. Time will tell.34

Had end of year review w/ my boss. Upon inviting me in her office, she gave me the look over, but didn't say anything. Upon leaving, she escorted me out, gave me the look over again and said I'm looking good. 15

I just graduated from doing push-ups on my knees to full push-ups.41

A few months ago I was thrilled to squeeze my wedding band and engagement ring back onto my hands. Now, it's so big it slides around my finger. Also, I can now wrap my fingers around my wrist and actually touch! It's been decades!23

Awesome job, I have done something similar but instead of refined sugar I use real maple syrup and it is so good I do not even need cream anymore .Keep up the great work.8 -
6 month dietversary coming on the winter solstice. I've had extreme weight ups and downs for years but I've never sustained it this long and everyday I feel more confident that this time it's for the long run. Over that period I've cheated on my target calories maybe 3 or 4 times (and have had 0 days over maintenance level)22

I went to Game Stop this weekend to get a gift for my husband. There was something on the top shelf, out of reach even if I stood on tippy toes with arm stretched up, that I wanted so I jumped up, knocked it off, and caught it as I landed gracefully back on the floor. No trouble, no wobble, no breathy exclamation. Nothing at all. I would never ever have even considered doing this a few months ago. Yay for yoga and squats and lunges and the like!
From behind me, I heard a quiet "Whoa" and a not as quiet "We would've gotten that for you" from the sales clerks. I turned with a smile and said "No worries, I got it" to which one clerk said "Yeah, we see that."
Note: The item wasn't breakable or I would've asked for help.

Maple syrup sounds like a great idea, barring the option of drinking black coffee. Coconut sugar could also help?

Zipped up into a New Balance running jacket I bought almost two years ago! It didn't even zip when I bought it, it was just the largest size they had at the outlet store.14

I've not heard of Coconut sugar...I'll have to look for some at my local grocery. I tend to drink 1 20 oz travel mug a day.1 -
Have had the goal of getting to 6000 miles on the bike since I started tracking miles in May 2016. We had an unseasonably warm weekend the first weekend of December and was able to get my 3000 miles done for 2017 but was about 95 miles short of the 6000. Since Saturday we have had 50 degree days so was able to get 21 in Saturday and 29 Monday. Only today and tomorrow left before the weather in Des Moines Iowa will be back to more normal temps 20-30's for highs. Might even get below zero before end of the year. So the plan is to try to get about 30 today and the rest tomorrow.
Mondays ride was a bit challenging. Wind out of the Southwest. So the ride north to where I can pick up the bike trail was okay. West was the most challenging but even with that I was able to do an extra loop around the park. And had almost 10 miles in before I started on the Great western trail which is mostly South and west. Made it down to where I had planned to turn around and decided to go to the next road crossing before turning around even though I was going at a pretty slow pace 9-10 mph. Once I turned around it is mostly downhill and with a tail wind (Yeah). So made decent time coming back. While it was 50 degrees with the wind it felt colder than that especially as the sun starting going down. Did a little extra loop around the parking to get to 29 miles and called it a day. Was cold. Note to self wear warmer socks today.14 -
I found an OLD gorgeous "swing" coat from the 1980's (remember those big coats with the padded shoulders that was all the rage in the 80's?), well this coat was a super expensive designer coat I saved my pennies for way back when and got it on sale. I kept it in hopes that I could either wear it again one day or pass it to my daughters (they didn't want it
). When I purchased this coat, I was a skinny as a rail (maybe 110lbs soaking wet), it is a size 6, this is BEFORE vanity sizing. Well, I tried it on this morning and it FIT!!!! Now I'm nowhere near a size 6 YET, I'm about a size 14w now and this fit because it the style was big--but it looks good on me, I asked my children how it looks and if I should keep it and they said YES!
I'll be rocking a size 6 label old sharp coat this winter and it's THRILLING to think about. Of course, I'm going to have the shoulder pads removed--a SIZE SIX (that I used to wear) WOW and super YAY!
Here's an example of what the style coat looked like in the 1980's (mine is dark blue and just plain tremendous) and it looks GREAT on me!
