What's Your Most Recent NSV

DamienAngelica · May 2018

Last night while taking several selfies with out-of-town relatives at dinner, I sat in chair pose beside their seat in the restaurant without even thinking. I didn't even realize it until later. A small thing, to be sure, but a marker of being fit.

I can't believe I'm even typing these words, but--I joined a gym! I HATE gyms.......and exercise in general! My 15-year-old granddaughter has just come to live with us (long story and sad family dynamics we have no control over). She's a dancer and wanted to join a gym to stay in shape. I definitely want to encourage her to be as healthy as possible, so, of course--Nana signed up with her! I think she's going to keep me motivated--she already wants to go tonight. What have I gotten myself into?????????????

I am back into 3 out of 6 pairs of my UK size 10 crops, which is definite progress from 2 weeks ago. Currently wearing the pair seen in the profile pic. Now for the next 3 pairs.

Realizing my "work shirts" are looking baggy decided to step into 'formal' clothing store and get measured for new button down long sleeve shirts. Neck measurements down one full size and when I explained that I'm trying not to have shirts that look so "baggy" the sale consultant says "well, that's probably because you need a slim fit" and the other sales consultant who was folding shirts a few tables away says "of course he does, if I can comfortably wear slim cut then he definitely can"

NSV = Being referred to as "slim" in any context for the first time in a long time (and 'yes', my new shirts do fit much better)

In much the same vein as the above post - I discovered I'm overweight and my clothes don't fit...
I needed to dress nicer than usual for an awards ceremony this morning - I had to DIG in my closet to find clothes that came close to being small enough. My wife said, "We need to take you shopping."

Fancy Gourmet Cupcakes in the Kitchenette at work for several days now and have been able to walk by them numerous times without even considering eating one.

This week I was accused of secretly having gastric bypass surgery. While I found the comment itself very rude, the fact that people see that much of a difference in how I look is pretty flattering, so I call that a win! It's hard to see the changes in myself, and I think most of us on here feel the same way. I see a small difference while the outside world is seeing something very different!

No underwire!!!!! I lost my boobs along with the a bunch of other fat, went from a 40D to a 32/34A.

We had to fit for new lab coats at work yesterday and I was extremely nervous when it was my turn. I struggled for years to find one that fit right and it was unfortunately always an embarrassing size. Imagine my surprise when the man said: "All right, a small for you. Next." I was close to tears and couldn't believe I was so petrified of not finding one that would fit me (happened in the past). Definitely a win.

I have never been more jealous of an MFP post than I am of this one. :-)

Today I did my first proper plank. Until now I have only been able to do one on my knees

If that happened to me I'd be crazy happy! Fingers crossed.

Oh I am, and you can do it (depending on genetics)! Takes time, a lot of effort, then the shock of realizing that you can wear bralettes instead of bulky bras sets in! I went on a bit of a shopping spree because I can now wear the cute bras instead of my old industrial strength with 5 hooks in the back and straps made by Craftsman ugly bras. Oh yeah, they get cheaper as well... 4/$20 at Forever 21.

I can do a bent arm hang for a respectable length of time now.

This is huge for me as one of my worst memories was being forced to do bent arm hang for the President's Fitness tests in the 70s in grade school. When I was 10 years old I basically had my adult body - 5'8" 120 lbs with a c cup - and all the other girls in 5th grade were still tiny prepubescent children with a child's strength to weight ratio who could still swing on monkey bars - and they made us do bent arm hang on the parallel bars, which the other kids had to be lifted up to, but they were so close to the ground for me that I had to tuck my knees to my chest in order to keep them off the floor. The coach got a bonus based on how many kids passed, so he would yell at me that I wasn't trying hard enough.

I'm still a long way from my first pull up but I least I could pass that damn fitness test now.

I picked my daughter up from a party and the Moms who put on the party offered me the left over pizza and cake. I would have loved to stuff my face - really good quality stuff. My mouth was watering literally as I looked at it. I asked for a small piece of cake, ate less than a tenth of it and took the rest home for my son. Then I ate 3/4 an apple and the the flesh from the seeds from the mangoes I cut up for my daughter at home! Slightly over budget for the day - but went for another walk to help cancel that out!
