Saturday I did 27 pull-ups over 5 sets: one of those sets was a set of 7. Both are PRs for me

My last NSV post was about my tight skirt that is giving a little room and I was afraid that it will go away like mist. Poof! The same skirt now spins around me when I walk and I'm thinking, 'this skirt must've stretched cause I've washed it. Maybe this is another skirt I put on by mistake. Maybe this skirt wasn't as tight as I thought it was...' I still think somebody/something is going to snatch my progress away, like that State Farm commercial where the fisherman says, "I got you a dollar" then he pulls it away.25

This is a weird NSV for me--- I have always loved shopping, but 131 pounds ago I would buy something just because it fit, not necessarily because I liked it a lot. I now have to learn that just because it fits doesn't mean I should buy it, because EVERYTHING fits!
I love this one extra! I am down by the same amount and have the same feeling about this. I used to find a flattering top that fit and disguised my worst areas and I'd buy it in six colors. It's a nice habit to break when you know that there are dozens of other tops around the corner that also fit & flatter. Nice!

I did my Strong Curves workout today! Kinda been slacking on those the last week and a half, but I'm happy now to be back on track!18

Went out for a walk yesterday. Went exploring and found a new route that follows the railroad tracks and then passes through a golf course. Quiet - no traffic - a couple of challenging hills - and I walked seven miles. Going back there next week!26

Two today:
Had a particularly sedentary day at work with back to back meetings. When I had a break for a few minutes, my first thought was: how can I move more? So, I walked up and down the one flight of stairs in my building.
Tonight after dinner I had a treat: fiber one bran cereal. I don't have cereal much, as it's usually not filling for me, but I've been trying to increase my fiber intake, so decided to try bran cereal. It totally felt like a splurge treat. Can't explain it. I'm someone who could easily put away 1000 calories of chips when I wasn't even hungry, and now I am totally satisfied and thrilled with 130 calories of bran cereal with almond milk.27 -
my dad purchased a kimono style dress for me on a family trip during my high school days, about a decade ago. It didn't really fit then. It was tight. Two years ago, I couldn't even squeeze into the thing. Today, it zipped up and fits, is loose in some parts..just need to keep working on my gut. It was a nice feeling to finally fit in that dress. 36

I stopped taking the elevator at work. And in the past 20 days (since I've been back on MFP), my measuring cups and food scale have gotten more use than ever!25

Totally not weird. I do the same thing. In fact, I went shopping tonight, as I haven’t bought any new shirts since I started losing. I’m still wearing my 4Xs, and tonight I brought home mostly 2Xs and a 1X! Holy kitten!
But ... I don’t *love* the 2Xs (four of the same shirt, different colors, *sigh*), and immediately thought about returning most, maybe all of them as I was driving home.15 -
I completed a 50k (33.3 mile) endurance trail race!
...and not a bad time either for the course and conditions.
Not bad for someone who weighed nearly 300 pounds 3 years ago.67 -
The scale says I've only lost 9lbs, but my face, my wrists, and my waist are noticeably a little bit smaller, and the belt on my favorite dress is getting loose. I'll have to buckle it one more notch in soon. (Can't yet, because I won't be able to breathe when I sit, but it sags oddly now when I stand.) Also, my skin looks great!27

was able to borrow clothes from a friend who has always been considerably thinner than me. The trousers were a size smaller than what I tend to wear now, and fit like a dream!26

Last week I had a long work week on business travel coupled with high stress appointments, which also prevented a solid gym workout for 3 days with no hotel gym, 10hours trapped in rental cars, etc. Logged everything and was disappointed with being "over" on MFP goals for several days in a row with no exercise to offset, but kept logging & didn't hide from reality.
So my NSV is that in the past a couple "bad days" would spill into a couple more days, but upon returning home I had the mental fortitude to say "no, that's the exception to my new normal". Went to the store, bought the fruit, veggies and better protein sources to rebuild my "meal prep" reserves in the fridge and hit the gym 3 days in a row to help make up for the bobble. Grilled the salmon, steamed the broccoli & cauliflower, added the no salt black beans into the mix, etc.
kitten happens... accept it, get over it and step back over to the path you want to be on36 -
Blood pressure is lower now on a half-dose than it was 4 months ago on a full-dose.32

I've been needing some NSVs lately, and this weekend I found one. I got my feet measured for new running shoes and I didn't need a WIDE shoe. Just regular feet now. Not wide ones!39

Went out for ice cream last night, had the calories in my "budget" to drive there & get 2 scoops. Instead, we walked there 2 miles and took a longer route about 3 miles home. Saw beavers, rabbits frolicking, a giant turtle, and more. Oh, and enjoyed my 2 scoops!
Also loving the way my new jeans fit. Tried on the 10s around Christmas and the fit was a little weird, saggy in areas & snug in others, yuck. Went back last week and the same pair in 8 were on sale (I usually wear 10-12 but they're Michael Kors so vanity sizing). Still an NSV because they fit perfectly with no real weight difference, maybe 2 lb.39 -
Went biking on Sunday. Went running for the first time in a couple months on Monday. Here it is Tuesday, and hurrah! My juror number didn't get called for jury duty today, so I called a friend and we went on a three hour hike to a gorgeous lake overlook. We climbed 1,000 elevation to get there. Hurrah!31

Last weekend we took a vacation and went to visit our daughter at college. Eating out every meal was a chore. I went over a little on my meal plan each day. Not to worry, I just jumped right back on track when I got home. For the first time, I didn't feel like I was embarrassing her. I even took a lot of selfies. Now that's surprising.

2 people in the last couple of days whom I don't know very well asked me if I had lost weight. It is weird. I love getting compliments from my friends and family, but from people I don't know well is somehow the best compliment ever!! I think it may be confirmation that yes indeed it is now noticeable.27
