Okay, so this isn't strictly my NSV but it just goes to show how habits rub off on others . . .

Note to children: Form good habits early in life and you'll never be the morbidly obese, unfit, unhealthy person that your mother was for most of her life.

Such a good feeling isn’t it? My niece finally wants to start eating healthy and swimming like me! So she’s been taking lessons and amped about doing swim team this summer!

It's the best feeling. Especially as there are genetic conditions on both sides of the family that can be helped/controlled though living a healthy, active life.

My Girl Scout cookie order came in. I took exactly 4 thin mints (160 cal.) and left the rest of the boxes in my office break room.

Time to punch another hole in my belts.

Went out to eat with friends last night, ate a little more than I had planned but I am ok with it and moving on and was on track today with my calories. It has become more of lifestyle than a diet

Work had pizza for all again today. Wasn't in my plan so I did not indulge.

Not sure if this is a NSV or not... Went to Panera Bread today for my free coffee (I got one a day for 2 weeks), and medium is the largest free size you can get. But the guy at the counter told me to wait a second, put the medium cup away and gave me a large. He then winked and said to have a large instead.

Not sure if it was because of all the weight I lost or not, but it definitely made me feel good about myself, lol.

I just finished C25k week 5, and I'm now able to run for 20min! I remember the first day, when I almost collapsed after only 1min... In 5 weeks from 1 to 20min is a huge success.

Congratulations! I completed C25K recently also. I was cheering the first time I ran a full 5 minutes. I have my very first 5k planned for the end of March. Already getting nervous.

We are going to go out again next week, we are determined to find it!

We had this problem last year, only we were trying to find an Iron Age castle (read: hill). It took us three attempts. The first attempt we got caught in a thunder storm (complete with lightning and hammering rain), got soaked and had to take refuge in a barn.

The second attempt we got lost in some fields, then had to go back as the children had "needs" that they weren't going to attend to in some bushes.

The third attempt, we found it and conquered it. Eventually.

Not sure that the site was worth the hassle and I'm certain that my children still haven't forgiven me for it (not that it was my idea at all but I have broad shoulders and took the hit for DH who insisted on repeatedly going back to find the place).

It's all good fun though. I enjoyed the walking!

Not planning to return though . . . once was enough.

She also asked us not to tell the lady concerned (we wouldn't have anyway) as she didn't want her to be upset.

What I take from this is that you have a right to be proud of your daughter's character.
