NSV’s
The new “thin jeans” that I hand washed and air-dried because they were “snug” a few months ago are now loose in hips AND waist and I dry them in dryer!!
I can see my waist definition improving, noticeably.
I wore a short, no-sleeved dress, stockings, and dress shoes for a recent event. I’d never have done that before. Great fun!
I prefer wearing form-fitting clothes now & they look much better. Quite remarkable.
I always exercise. If it’s delayed, I miss it & hurry out for my walk.
I move frequently throughout the day & where before, I wanted to sit for long periods of time, now I resent it!
In the past, I sometimes had to rest an arm on the counter as I washed dishes. Not anymore!
I move faster & farther, and feel
No pain during or after. This is a Huge NSV for me & my athletic husband!
I can’t wait to read all of your NSV’s!!!!!
A wonderfulDay in UAC! 💗7 -

NSV's
When I think about my NSV's, OMG! the list is looooong. That in itself is a NSV.
Here are a few:- Move faster.....
- Look forward to exercises.
- Mentally, food is my body fuel.... not every type of fuel goes in a car. Semi-trucks use diesel (https://truckfreighter.com/why-semi-trucks-use-diesel/) not gasoline, while cars use gasoline not diesel. Therefore, not every type of food is allowed in my body.
- I cannot stand the sight of donuts.
- Office foods don't appeal to me.
- Clothes fit better
I can't wait to read others.

My NSV for this week...I made it to do a specific mtb climb in the saddle, all of it. So far I always had to walk it. Woohoo!
So there's hope in the end!

Nsv for me are finding chocolate too sweet,deliberately sourcing healthy foods instead of junk, ie fruit, olives, yoghurt, clothes still fit after my holiday! More stamina, am listening to my body more ie I choose a yoga session to fit in with how I am feeling that morning, feel invigorated after early evening walk
Exercise yes, 10 min quigong, 20 min yoga, 120 min cleaning, 75 min walk
Tracking yes

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes!! I did 25 minutes on the treadmill with no knee pain. I also walked all over Walmart doing my grocery/browsing around shopping.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes, I did
NSV's are so much fun!! I've lost 42 lbs and I'm at my lowest weight in over 15 years. I still have a ways to go but I've been excited about the changes I've seen. For instance....
1) I now really like to exercise and love how it makes my body and moods feel better!
2) I can now wear almost all the clothes that have hung in my closet for years waiting for me to get into them. Many are even too big!
3) I LOVE vegetables!!
4) I can now see the beginnings of my collar bones, shoulder bones, kneecaps, and my waist. It's like the fat is being chiseled away.
5) People are noticing and that feels amazing!5 -

That is one of the best explanations that I've EVER read on why we all can't eat whatever we want!! So clear and concise. Please tell me that I can steal it for future use when someone tries to tell me that it's OK for me to eat whatever I want as long as I track it? NO, there are certain foods that I will binge on and that have no business being in my world, let alone in my body!

Same for me. I am always surprised by the folks on MFP who go after anyone who says this. In my mind, there is 1) what the scale says & 2) what makes me the healthiest person I can be. I can get the scale to go lower eating garbage OR I can eat foods (fuel) that helps it to thrive. I choose the latter. Funny thing is that after eating healthy fuel for a long time now, I actually don’t feel good if I eat the unhealthy ones. A nice reinforcing system!!4 -

Back in Florida! Yay NSV day! One of mine was this week on my trip I wore an extremely tight fitted dress and carried my little jacket around but didn't feel the need to put it on all night. The jacket had nothing to do with temperature. So 1. That I even had the courage to wear the dress and 2. That I felt good in it. I did receive many compliments which made my night too!

Exercise: Yes, 1 hour full body vinyasa yoga, a little bit of walking
Calories: Yes
Tracked: Yes
today is iffy. was really looking forward to cardio but my ankles/feet are in pain from using flat sneakers, but today i ordered my first pair of running shoes!!! big shout out to my mom for helping me out 😭😭 and i forgot to take my antidepressants two nights in a row so i got super wound up & everything felt so frustrating i ended up crying over not being able to do cardio smh
usually on this kind of day i would have given up and laid in bed all day pouting but instead i took a break, talked to my mom, calmed down and did a full yoga session!! so a NSV for me today is not giving up because of a bad workout or meltdown!
had a moment where i caught myself nibbling after my dinner & immediately stopped before i overate or binged, so that's another NSV!
i'm sorta getting to a point where i want to quit, but it's days like this i have to keep holding on & face my challenges.
and another NSV is today i noticed some more muscle definition and i'm starting to lean out slightly! i haven't been able to weigh myself since the last time so being able to actually see my progress is just another reason to keep going~ 🌟3
