    It's almost mid-month, and it's our custom to share Non Scale Victories, also known as "NSVs".
    My victory is that even though, I have had to hobble around on my injured ankle, I've adapted my exercises enough to keep fulfilling my goals. In addition, I am not slender, but I have maintained the same weight range for over 20 years and I feel good. My clothes fit appropriately and I'm not afraid of 'going crazy' with holiday eating.
    What about you?

    Exercise? Yes...a fair amount today. 80 minutes walk with my boyfriend (some modest hills) and 45 minutes washing & drying the van.
    Calories? Within allowance
    Tracked? Yes

    NSV ~ 67 consecutive days of reporting in. "Showing up" is half the battle for accountability. Now, if I can just make it another 9 days staying within the WC guidelines, I will most certainly look forward to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can," but thank goodness I have some extra exercise calories earned to fall back on every now and then. :)

    Yes x 3 -- my exercise came LATE today, but I got it done. I had planned a strength/interval workout, but ended up having to go outside to help my taller half do some work after he cut down a tree. That was exercise, but not a ton. So tonight after supper, to avoid having to take a pass day, I got on the exercise bike and did 5 miles. My sister called while I was pedalling away and I really kept her guessing as to why I sounded kind of breathless from time to time... In any case, if it was not for having to report here and get a triple yes, I would have skipped it and felt blah. Thanks!

    NSVs all relate to feeling strong and pain-free. I love the tightness around the core, and the strength I have been able to build. It feels better than eating all those excess calories ever did. I am very small, so I cannot eat too many calories to begin with. Muscles help me burn more so I can enjoy that a lot!

    Yes x 3 for today.

    It's been very frustrating as posts and comments aren't showing on newsfeeds. Since 2 days ago. Thank goodness that forums is still working.

    NSV:
    Managing to stay under Calories despite the myriad temptations about at the moment.
    More energy, not feeling sluggish

    This! More than once the threat of reporting an unnecessary pass day has been that little nudge I needed to just do it!

    Yes x3. Half hour of strength training with cardio intervals.
    An NSV is that I’m getting stronger and have been increasing the weights I’m lifting.
