What's Your Most Recent NSV

I took my fifth graders on a field trip today. It was much easier to walk down the bus aisle. I didn’t have to turn to the side at all.

So, having cycled 125 miles this week, the running total for my bike is now 11,200 miles.

And a worn out set of front axle bearings.

Although I think that they were wearing out a couple of hundred miles ago but we thought that it was something else that was making a weird noise . . .

I've been doing C25K and was scared of week 3 day 1 because I had to run for 3 minutes straight. I don't believe I have ever run for 3 minutes straight... at least not as an adult. But I was able to do it without stopping and sure I was slow and panting but I did it. On to week 3 day 2 if only there was somewhere to run that didn't have SNOW on it!!!

Congratulations.
I tried C25K this morning just to see if I could actually run. I was slow but I was actually running for the first time in years. When I started on this life there is no way I could run and distance. No wind and my knees would not have lasted.
I'm going to keep at it try to and actually do a 5K this summer.

I was surprised how much room there was in the bathtub. It’s been months since I had a hot soak in the tub....dang if there wasn’t almost room for two in there!!!

140 rpm @ level 25 is my fastest rpm and intensity. That was insane.

17 miles / 50:46 / 576 calories
3 miles / 9:16 / 99 calories

20 miles / 60:02 / 675 calories
Good ride. Good end to the week. Broke 101lbs this week and did 51 miles. NSV.

Putting this in so that it's here if every I need to remind myself. I bought some new skirts, one is made of a more flexible/softer material and when I wore it, I had to wear spanx cause the lumps and bumps were too obvious. So I put that skirt aside for a bit, lost 8 pounds and lo and behold, it looks great. Didn't need spanx. I still have a ways to go so I was pleasantly surprised that 8 pounds made the difference with that skirt. My other skirts are now closer to my knees. Looking forward to having them all tailored one day.

Oh and my tshirts are baggier!

I was at a restaurant the other day with my dad and the first booth we headed to was weirdly small with tight looking spaces on both sides, so I moved on to the next booth. My dad is a pretty big guy (not fat, but he's over seventy and 6'4" with scoliosis, so he's not fitting into a tiny space comfortably).

This was an NSV for me because I remember many years of my life when I would approach every booth looking to see which side had more space so I could sit there, and sometimes feeling the table squish up next to my fat rolls during the entire meal, especially at Taco Bell it was almost always an issue for me and slightly embarrassing. It has been almost six years since I joined MFP and over five years now, since I even really considered the size of a booth, and it felt so good to realize that!

Actually stuck to ‘one beer’ at a colleague’s going away drinks when I said I would.

Also my wife is feeling a bit sick and wanted Chinese food. Stuck with prawn(shrimp) and vegetable stir fry.

There was a time I would have smashed a couple of six packs and a huge meal.

Willpower is like a muscle!

After a planned surgery which I knew would put me out of action for 2 months, then an unplanned car accident which caused more drama including a pretty scary bout of PTSD, panic attacks and a recurrence of depression - I'm back. My body's better, my head's better and I'm back doing what I love. For a minute there I thought I wouldn't get back to me.
