What's Your Most Recent NSV

Went to the local Big and Tall store to get a smaller size jeans. Had trouble finding my size as they barely carry them on the smaller size for B&Tall store. Couldn't find a belt because they only carry larger sizes. So I could easily find jeans and belts in a normal store soon.
Will still need to hit the Big and Tall store for socks (size 16) and dress shirts as my long arms drag on the floor as I walk.

Ran 30 minutes non-stop this morning. It's about my 10th run since getting back at it after being off for 3 years so happy to be back at it.

my "small" pants are loosening up in the waist

I made a low-calorie choice today at Chili's, which was important because one of my old favorites (the chicken crispers) is insane when it comes to calories. I feel much better than I would have had I had the other meal. I don't necessarily trust that the whole thing was only 430 calories, but it was definitely a lot better than a lot of the choices at Chili's.

I went clothes shopping and actually liked how things looked on me! I feel like I can fit back into clothing styles that seem more like "me" now when they just fit all wrong when I was a heavier.

This morning, I logged my food from a social event last night even though I was convinced I'd gone over, and miracle of miracles, I stayed within budget AND stuck with logging even when I didn't want to!

The instructor cancelled bootcamp yesterday afternoon due to some beautiful rain we received (most of the work is outdoors) so took myself off to the gym, but my card wasn't working. Came home and still put myself through a quick workout that had me panting and sweating.
Then this morning I knew the ground was going to be too wet to work one of my mares but I still got up and took my dog for a walk. I really need to start setting my alarms and getting up and 4:15 so I can fot both a walk and a ride in before work each morning.

My fat pants are a tiny bit loose

It looks like I now, fairly comfortably, fit into a 32" waist pants! I don't think I've done that since I was 19 (and at a healthy weight). I can also comfortably wear medium shirts/sweaters again! I realized earlier this week that a 36 was simply too big and also that I needed to get a few new belts.

edit: except for the one pair that I didn't try on - grumble. It's fine, odd given the other very similar pants that I tried on, but such is life. I'll exchange them on Monday.

I stepped out of my comfort zone today and completed ParkRun for the first time. I was barely breathing by the end of it, but i did it!

I dropped another point on the BMI scale, from 24 to 23. The way I look at it, I'm no longer 'barely' in the healthy range of the chart!

THAT is awesome!!!! Congrats!!

my 2018 end of the year Facebook video popped up on my news feed. in watching it.. I was not only doing amazing things having fun..but I looked not overweight at all. It made all the work worthwhile and encouraged me to not gain over the holidays and wreck it all.

My A1C is now down in the "normal" range!!!!!!

I came in 5th place for my age division in a local 5k run-with lots of hills

I was shopping in an antique store and saw a vintage hooded sweatshirt that was absolutely a "dream piece" for my wardrobe but it looked too small and didn't have a size tag. It was pretty inexpensive, so I went ahead and bought it, thinking I could wear it as a layering piece or give it away to my friend's teenage daughter. It wound up fitting perfectly, not quite snug but looking like it was made for me.

Another NSV in the same day was visiting a Torrid store with my friend and thinking I might buy something there since they carry 10-30. I usually wear 10s and 12s. As it turned out, I tried on a bunch of jeans and a dress and everything was way too large, I'd assume from vanity sizing, but that was still an NSV for me. I fibbed to my friend about it and said they just didn't fit right, because I didn't want to brag of course.
