NSV for me is that even though I still kind of feel like crap, I just had to go for a walk. My mental health now requires that I get in some type of physical activity or I'm just not good to be around.
Yes! Walking is soooo good, problems just seem to dissolve!2 -

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.
We can do this, and agree with the exercise Calories, keeps me moving too!1 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? y
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? y
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? y
checking in early on the 15th, for the 14th...2 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes - 53 minutes on my mini-trampoline (started a brand new "tour" in my exergame. Always "hard to stop" on First Day, with sooo many routes to open, bridges to build, tall landmark buildings to construct .....
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
NSVs - I know that if I wanted to (because I have) I could set my exergame going - jog through and entire movie - switch back and spend another 20 minutes "spending my accumulated points"
- I can look at the open box of TimBits on the admin assistant's desk - think "Not worth the 60 cals of mostly fat and sugar" and keep on walking.
- Habitually pay attention to macros as well as total calories for the day. OK if something occasionally goes red, but will up the exrcise time but if sugar or red particuarly bad, will pass on the planned evening snack even if it wouldn't put over on total calories. This way, I developed an inner compass to help me decide "Is it worth it today?"

Exercise - 1h40 gym cross training / 2.5k swim
Calories - yes
Tracked - yes
Cross training was supposed to be 1h, lol. At some point I did wonder when will coach be done with me? Looked like he didn't have anything else to do than be with me. Gaah!2 -
Exercise - Yes
Calories - Yes
Tracking - Yes
I guess in terms of a NSV, I am here and tracking during a time that would normally get the best of me. My mother recently had a stroke and I have been dealing with that. It has affected other areas of our life like our home life and work etc etc. And holidays are always a little hard for me. Being here is helping me to simply stay on track which I consider a major victory. I am hoping to push myself more in January but I am pretty happy just to be on track right now which feels like a victory for me. This group has made such a big difference for me. I can't say that enough.4 -
Dec. 14
Pass #4
Exercise: Mostly walking
Calories: Noooo
Tracked: not really
yikes I think I accidentally binged or just overate again, I was doing well through the day then at night I ended up eating a bunch of chocolate and other stuff lol. Didn't do a whole lotta exercise but walking around and baking (made a molasses-chocolate cake with a caramel-banana topping, done like an upside-down cake). Not a whole lot of excuses for this slip up, just tired and depressed. But eating like crap is never gonna fix that depression so I gotta get myself together!
it's definitely not been a NSV month for me, but I can't wait for the holidays to end and 2019 to begin so I can work on a clean slate & nail some goals for the new year 💪2 -
pass #3 I will not be in the winners circle. We are travelling this weekend and I will not be able to track and my food choices will be limited. But I do plan to keep things moderate and to do lots of walking.3

12/14
Exercise: Yes, walked
Calories: No. ugh, on track until some mindless snacking in the evening took me well over my allotment. PASS#3
Tracking: Yes
NSVs.
I’ve been wearing jeans that I couldn’t comfortably wear last Christmas. Also that cute yellow sweater that was sausage-casing tight last year is looking good on me now.
Despite using up my passes already, I know that my eating is much more controlled and reasonable compared to past holidays.

Yes to all 3
Staying with group. Reading and tracking are currently vitories for me1 -
Yes x3
The oreos almost got me but I'm so glad I took an extra few seconds to count out the amount I wanted to eat then put the rest back (and didn't go back for seconds
)
Exercise today was a forcefully cheerful walk in the rain. I really didn't want to do it, but I figured I might as well so I could get my steps in. As I didn't feel like listening to myself complain the entire time, I repeated "I am having a great time" to drown the grumblings of how wet and cold it was out! It (sort of) worked.1 -
