What's Your Most Recent NSV

This is a real NSV - since I was being annoyed at my scale! I've gained a couple pounds since January, still within my maintenance range but definitely a real gain, measured as a trend over time. Every month on the first of the month I photograph myself without clothes so I can see my progress. Couldn't see any evidence of weight regain, measured my waist and it was the same, compared my tummy from different angles, fretted, showed the pictures to my husband and asked if he could see any difference between the two. He says, "Your upper arm muscles are bigger." And they are! I was so busy thinking I must have gained fat that it never occurred to me to even look at my arms. I've been working on the "Bring Sally Up" push-up challenge among other things, for about two months now, and it seems to be making a visible difference! Which is amazing to me, I have a hard time gaining upper body strength.14

The other day I met with my coworker and she was eating microwave popcorn. I told her I appreciated that she didn’t ask me if I wanted any of her popcorn. She said “I did ask you but you said no like you always do so I didn’t ask again.” 😀 The habit is so strong now that I didn’t even remember her asking me! And popcorn is my favorite snack!10

I hit a 295lb bench press max last week. My original goal was 300 when I bought the 300 pound weight set about 15 months ago. Just 5lbs more to go.16

Last May, I was wearing a pair of jean shorts driving to a cruise port. They were so tight I unbottoned them in the car. Not wanting uncomfortably tight shorts on vacation (all the shorts I packed fit the same), I stopped at a store and bought bigger shorts on the way.
Today, I put on those uncomfortably tight shorts. They’re so loose I can pull them up and down without unbuttoning!34 -
I’m in the process of training to run a half marathon, and I think I may have been overworking my legs because I’ve been having some killer knee/hip pain. Instead of giving up or ignoring it and making it worse, I’m taking a week off of running(though I’m not happy about it), and if the rest doesn’t help, will be seeing a physical therapist. The NSV here is that I’m not giving up! I think I’m officially a runner, cuz I haven’t run for a few days and I’m itching for a run!24

@amirahdaboss You should be very proud of this NSV. Not giving up is maybe the most important thing on this journey. Everyone has roadblocks and not letting those derail you is vital to success.10

I finally got to make the switch from "weight loss" to "Maintenance"54

While on vacation, I was shopping with my mom and grabbed 2 small tops without trying them on (I was lazy and the store was about to be closing so I figured eh, if they didn't fit, they would eventually!). I merely eyeballed them and they fit perfectly when I modeled them for my mother and aunt.
Hot diggity!24 -

C25k week 5 day 3- 20 minute jog, no breaks! Slow as a wet week, but I'm totally ok with that, because I jogged for 20 minutes without stopping and I didn't die! Yew! #SetAGoalAndSmashThatSucker #RoadToFit18

My most recent NSV was the fact that I now fit into a size Large shirt. A comfortable fit!
A year ago, I was pushing 5XL. Today, a Large. I shake my head in disbelief writing this, but I'm glad I got to this point.
WOW! 5 XL JUST last year? Thats quite impressive Ryan! Im soo happy for you..🌹7
