Read your NSV, but couldn't read the small print above your profile picture. So I enlarged the photo - then laughed out loud.
"You don't get the *kitten* you want by sitting on it."
A nugget of truth wrapped with a chuckle. Very true - and funny!
Thanks. I saw it somewhere on social media and it always stuck with me because really it is quite true.7 -
Dead tired, on about 4.5 hours sleep, a frustrating 1.5 hour drive home and no food since 11am, it was 4pm and I stepped inside my house to my fluffy kitty and wanting to relax with what was left of what was supposed to be a half-day. I had taken last week off from Stronglifts cuz traveling, I knew I had to get back into it, couldn't give in. Did the damned workout and it was one of my best ever, no excuses! Feels amazing cuz now it's 9 and I am indeed relaxing22

Good for you!!
Once you take that unplanned day off it can feel acceptable to do it again. And again and again. Great job!8 -
I guess this is technically a scale victory, but not bodyweight scale.
Got home tonight and was still a little short of my protein goal, which I try hard to hit or exceed every day. Fortunately, I still had a couple of hundred calories left to make it easy, so I decide to have a bigger-side snack I've been enjoying lately, 2 whole wheat mini-pitas with whole-grain mustard, a lighter calorie cheese plus string cheese (just barely melted), with raw sauerkraut - so tasty!
Figuring it out, I pre-logged 7g mustard and 14g cheese, knowing I had a little wiggle room. Put the mustard on the scale, tared, squirted it, returned to scale . . . 7 grams exactly. Put the block of cheese on the scale, tared, eyeballed/cut a hunk and removed it . . . 15 grams - close enough.
Over my protein goal, under my calories: Experienced eyeballing FTW! (Sometimes it's the small stuff.)31 -
One of my new medium golf/polo shirts is getting tight. Why is that an NSV? It's at the bicep, where the shirt has the cuff like band. So I can almost use that body builder brag line - I'd flex, but I like this shirt...27

Twenty-five years ago when I was fit and in much better shape, nurses and phlebotomist would say "Oh I love your veins, they are large, and easy to find." Over the years I gained weight and the nurses and phlebotomist would feel around looking for the vein or look for alternatives to the median cubital (inner elbow vein). The other day I had to have blood drawn and although the vein was not as visible as it was years ago, she looked at my arm, pressed it twice and said "oh good your veins are easy to find."22

Congrats on your new skill of eye balling your food weight.9 -
I'm on vacation in London and my luggage arrived a day late, so I had to go shopping for a few thing. I just grabbed a pair of size 8 jeans forgetting that UK sizes are smaller than US sizes along with a shirt and some underwear. Most of my jeans are a US size 8. They are only slightly snug straight out of the dryer!!!! After a few hours of wearing them they fit near perfect.
@VUA21 if you're still in London make sure you grab lunch or dinner in Borough Market in Southwark. 👍
Still in London for another week and a half. Will do! Thanks4 -
Well my most recent NSV was that I took my bike out for a ride at the lake for the first time in a while last night... and then I joined MFP today to track my calories! Winning!23

Know all about this one. Also, the one where you don't feel completely appalled by the mirrors in the fitting rooms - in spite of the horrid lighting which accentuates every bump amd dimple12 -
The scale is not budging sadly but... My resting heart rate went from 59 to 54 in just under a month. I am now considered in the good category for my age!21

i went on a holiday. Splurged a bit on the beer side and had a really hard time to get back on track. but...
- i took my running shoes and clothes and made sure to excersise
- i went back on track in the weeks following
- the splurging now was way different then we would have done before. We did not eat a lot of garbage, bought fresh produce everyday.
- i thoroughly enjoyed the beers without the normal guilt17 -

Over the course of the last week or so, I’ve come closer to a complete mental and emotional breakdown than I’ve ever been in my life (I work full time as a teacher and care for both of my disabled parents whenever I’m not at school, one of which continually falls through the gaps in the medical/support system due to a clash of workers compensation and government support). Have had two days of eating whatever I ‘want’, but realised tonight as I gnawed on a chocolate bar “this isn’t helping. You need to be strong and healthy to fight this battle - also? You feel bad. Physically, you feel really bad. How is this something you want?”. So I got up and made a chia pudding, ate enough to make me feel full and determined to start again tomorrow. As my life crumbles around me, I will stand strong as a stone.65

Coolchick007 what a great insight that stuffing down chocolate won’t make things better but I want to say trying to be a stone will eventually leave you cracked😔 I hope you can get some help with your burdens!10
