I went to a coffee shop with coworkers today and just ordered a drip coffee, rather than something frothy and calorific.15

I'm up for walking in cold - but, after, my fall, not in ice!
So, instead, I shoveled snow.
For 90 minutes, I shoveled - I did the entire side-load driveway, sidewalks, front door path... and since I wasn't 'done,' I went ahead and did a path around the side of the house to the back door -- and from there to the dog's favorite sniffin' spots.
So, yeah.
I shoveled snow!
Snow-shoveling - one crazy form of exercise! Go you!!

Reminded myself I am wearing a skirt today (and off and on have been for the last 18 months) that I could not wear for years. I always focus too much on the goals looming in front of me that I forget about the achievements behind me.

Fashion NSV. I can officially declare myself a petite size. At 5'2" I have technically always been in the petite category. But while I was big, I never wore any petite size clothes. Any petite size pants I tried won't fit unless I bought pants 2 times larger than my size but then it looked ridiculous on me. I always purchased regular size pants. Now that I lost some weight, especially around the hips( huge problem area) regular size pants are too long and I can now shop in the petite section. Also, I'm not sure if I'm the only one having fun with this weight loss process, I may not be at my goal weight or normal BMI but I am in love with my lower weight physique. As someone who is easily bored and enjoys varieties, I'm having a blast experimenting with different fashion styles. I'm going to go crazy when I get to my goal weight. Oh it's the little things29

Someone on these forums posted a video yesterday about foot placement which involved pressing your big toe into the ground, I tried it and it really helped me. I tend to "taco" forwards when I squat heavy and shifting my weight as they suggested worked wonders, no more accidental good mornings!
I have also found that putting 2.5# plates under my heels helps my form on squats immensely... just another thought if you are still experimenting. Congratulations on the size 8 and the jump in weight on the squats!

I usually can lay my phone on top of my stomach while reclining on a chair so I can type on my computer. I just set it there and it slid off onto my lap! Now I guess I will put it on my chest.
I know that is sort of sad and small but, none the less - NSV!21 -
I ran 30 minutes without pause at the gym this morning. Trying to get into condition by the beginning of 5k season in the Midwest.13

Below freezing, again, yesterday.
I woke up late, to a grey, lowering sky and blowing trees. Thought of all the reasons I didn't need to go for a walk.
Got to lunch time.
I looked out the window - The sun was shining, the ice on the south-facing side of the street was almost all melted, and the dog reminded me, imploringly, that he had already had a rest day...
So, I bundled up, and off we went.
We walked through the neighborhood, in case the wind kicked up. I walked back and forth in the off-leash area, but my Fitbit did not buzz, and did not buzz, and did not buzz (to tell me I had reached my step goal). Then it did buzz, and I said to the dog, 'Well, we're already headed away from the house; it would be silly to turn around now. Guess we should keep going, the long way.'
So, we did.
Ended the day with over 15,000 steps and a new gold trophy from Endomondo: New personal best distance of 4.98 miles.
(Maybe that's just from 2018?)
So, the NSV is that I thought of lots of reasons not to walk, and I walked anyway.
I started back in mid-December... Maybe making excuses - and thinking I don't enjoy exercise - is a habit I'm ready to outgrow?

But then I changed my clothes and put my shoes on anyway and before I knew it I was walking out the door. And I had a good workout and thought “why was I trying not to go?” And I’m proud of that.
Me too so rather than skip entirely I went and walked for 40 minutes.10 -
Was walking by a mirror and noticed my cheek bones, they are more defined. I have been noticing them a lot lately in the background actually. I don’t really remember that from this weight previously, but since it is the lowest weight I have been at generally in adult life I am kind of curious about what they will look like 20 lbs from now. Cheek bone anticipation!!!18

This whole weight loss/fitness thing is a lot more complicated that 'just' dropping pounds!
Things crop up at the oddest moments...
My NSV seems simple: I wore sweat pants to the dog park.
I bought them on impulse a couple of years ago, washed them, and could never quite bear to wear them. Today, I put them on. They clung to my belly, and probably showed every extra pound - but, still, I put them on. Then, I wore them out in public. It's the first time I have worn sweats in public since I was a thirteen-year-old running cross country and hurdles, when my mom told me that my muscular butt and thighs were grotesque, and that I should never _ever_ wear sweats.
I quit running track.
Late college nights, dance classes, two babies, pneumonia, flu -- I've never worn sweats.
I'm 52 years old.
And today, I wore sweat pants in public.

Yesterday we had our ac/heating system replaced. It was cold inside (50) so I was wearing a sweater and heavy jacket all day. The installer asked if the pictures on the wall of the woman fishing was me. When I said yes, he said "Wow! You've lost a lot of weight! You're skinny now."18

Yesterday I went in to Victoria's Secret because they are having a sale on their workout leggings. I have not been able to wear anything from there since my early 20s. I found some cute leggings and grabbed a size large, telling myself that their stuff runs pretty small and they probably won't fit . Gave myself a pep talk about how I'm so close to fitting in them, it will happen soon. Well, they were too big! Walked out with a size medium and a new addiction to their leggings (which are amazing quality if you're a leggings gal!).27

Outside temps made it above freezing today, so I walked around my work building and parking lot at lunch for 30 minutes. My NSV was four times I broke into a jog for about 50-75 yards each time, which is a first for me! Felt real good, too.21
