What's Your Most Recent NSV

I weigh less than my driver's license says I do. Wait, is that a scale victory? Either way, I'll take it!

Completed my 50th Parkrun today.

Didn't think that I would get there in time for the start as we were dropping off my son (who usually runs with me) at his cadet unit for his summer camp today (don't get me started on that, it's the first time he's been away from home and I started and finished the run in floods of tears).

So, in the absence of my son, my teenage daughter did half of the first lap with me then told me to carry on without her as I was too fast for her to keep up with. She completed the first lap then waited for me so that she could run with me down the final straight down towards the finish line. So, so sweet of her as she's not a runner (yet but she will be).

But, 50 parkruns = 250km = almost 80 miles. Not to mention all the training runs inbetween, which have probably quadrupled that amount.

Still can't get over the "Running - ME!" disbelief thing.

(NB: Feeling a bit better about my son going away for a week as I've just spoken to him. Sounds like he's having fun with some adventures on the way there - it was only an hour's drive to the camp and it's taken them three hours to get there due to a breakdown! All the cadets' families have been invited next weekend to see what they've been up to over the week - I will be the first parent there - and to try out the boating activities for themselves so really looking forward to that).

Great job everyone on your scale and non scale victories!! Y'all are so inspiring!!

I had a scale-related victory, but it's not so much the number as how my body has been 'behaving'. So last week my husband and I walked 100 miles at the Vierdaagse. I felt like I needed this recovery week so I didn't do any workouts and ate according to what my body was asking for. And alllllllll those calories that I burned came back with a vengeance...I was STARVING this week!!! I did good tracking my food throughout the day and while I was at work, but I'd come home and eat 232796338 calories. Not a complete surprise, so I didn't get upset with myself. So no workouts and definite overeating, but the scale showed in my favor today! We'll see next week but I will take this win, even if it's temporary!

Where the NSV is is that after my week of lazy bingeing, I am itching to get back to work. I am excited to start and I've created a new workout routine. There's a half marathon coming up in my community that I'm going to sign up for. So even with a major routine interruption my body's telling me to keep on keepin' on!

I started using Strava to track my paddling on May 19th. Since then, I have paddled 140 miles.

I ran 5 miles today, took just under an hour (53 minutes). Wohoo, getting close to 1/3 of my major goals (run a 10k in under an hour).

I hit my step goal of 10,000 steps Monday-Friday last week! I even got on the treadmill at 10pm one night when I needed 1300 more to get there. I have never done either of these things since I’ve been tracking my steps.
I think I might have inspired my husband to start wearing hit FitBit again and to pay attention to his steps! I wasn’t trying to, I just needed to tell someone about how I was inspired by my sister (who gets 15,000 every day with a desk job!) and next thing I know, he’s wearing his FitBit for the first time in weeks! And he showed me his steps after he mowed the lawn.

My wedding rings fit again 😁

Yesterday I hit 1000 days logging into MFP
