Also, kind of not an nsv, but I kept my mouth shut in another thread that I had nothin' nice to say in. It was hard.
Oooh, I've had this NSV a couple times, too. It IS hard!9 -
Am I going to get woos for this?
This week I started to see a vein running along my left shoulder to my bicep when I flex. The vein isn’t popping, but now I see it in the mirror!21 -
I went from being able to do 3 consecutive chin-ups to 4, and did 3 sets and still got all 4 on the 3rd set.
I saw another woman at the gym doing chin ups like a boss, didn't want to interrupt her in her workout so I didn't say anything. Saw her picking up her little kids from childcare when I picked up mine and complimented her on them. I know how hard that is!19 -
One size less in pants, one less in bra.
Reduced snoring, my husband is so happy!
I’m not anymore always attracted to always eat crap food.
More energy, more smiles! Sleep also better.
Using jackets I couldn’t for two years ago.
Even if it is a scale victory, to weight the same I did for ten years ago the last time.
Some coworkers asked me this week if I lost weight, nice to feel others see it! But I also feel insecure with that,one of them just comment “the difficult is to keep it”. And I agree. It’s what I fear the most. I’m also afraid people judging me if I do.
Unfortunately, my belly doesn’t reduce att the same speed. It feels strange to get in a XL-L size, even if my belly is just of the charts. How long it will take to get a “not a ballon” one??

Less of an NSV than a SW (Scale Whew!). I had four social events this week, and it felt like I ate like a hog, but miraculously managed to maintain, I’m happy with that. I’m not happy with the magnetic allure of M&Ms and Chex Mix at all four events, though. I thought I was stronger than that. What I need is Bunco Blinders to go with my bingo wings.11

Still have a long way to go on my journey but here it goes:
+++ I can jump and squat in Zumba class.
+++ It doesn't hurt my knees/legs to get up and down from sitting anymore.
+++ I have more energy in general.
+++ My clothes are fitting better.15 -
I recently switched to premium and don't use many of the features but I was able to change my calorie goal for the weekends (a couple hundred more than on weekdays). Seems like no big deal but I get really excited to be able to have a couple extra treats without seeing red numbers, and I end up much closer to my goal than if I shoot low and just go way over. Totally a mind trick but it's working!13

The night shirt that I used to wear every night because it was the only one big enough to feel comfortable, now fits like a dress it's so long.11

After pilates this morning, a young woman stopped me and said,” I was watching you and you were good!” I mumbled an embarrassed “thanks”, and started to walk out the door.
But then I turned around and told her”You don’t know me, but six months ago, I was sixty pounds heavier. You just made my day!” And after I thought another second, I grabbed and shook her hand and said,”I just want to tell you....SQUEEEE!!!!!!”
She just made my day after an off track week, and I could tell I made hers by my reaction.25 -
So, I passed the course and I am now a qualified bike ride leader. Just need to pass a first aid course and I'll be able to take people out on rides.
Am I excited? You bet. Improving the health of the nation, one bike ride at a time . . . hoping to get families involved - start 'em young, that's the best time to install good habits.26 -
I actively avoided alcohol at a show with friends. Not much of a big deal but I tend to be a social drinker and everyone else around me was drinking. I stuck to my water and woke up ready to go to the gym today!27

Ran 5 miles today - my longest run since starting C25k in January

Took my husband on a dinner and climbing date last night. So nice to have active pastime to share! Nsv itself, but had a few during the evening.
I have been reading training to climb books and boring him to death with them. Well, I got to show off my knowledge! I generally consider myself a solid 5.9 climber—I can complete most routes the first time, without falling or taking a break, but not with maximum efficiency. I don’t push for harder routes bc I know I need to work on technique a lot more & that it will serve me better in the long run to do it right but slow. Hubs is the opposite—always pushing.
Anyway, I tried a new 5.9 route and it was very different from my normal routes—little pulling with the arms and more pushing/balance shifting with both legs and arms. I did it and it felt great! After I pulled my hamstring bouldering (really? I manage to pull my hamstring climbing 🙄) I came back and did it again, easily. Hubs decided to try it and he was DYING—he attacked it very differently (trying to muscle through pulls that just weren’t there), and came down covered in sweat.
I was up for a few more routes and was pleasantly surprised I am starting to “see” what foot placements I should expect with certain hand placements—as a totally non-visual/spatial person, this is so exciting!!
So after rolling his eyes at my extended warm up of multiple easy routes and my references to the climbing bible, when I was good to go for a number of routes after he was finished (limping to them with my pulled hamstring), he agreed that maybe there was some method to my madness

Good for you! I've started a "just one" policy with some gym buddies. We sometimes go for beer(s) after a workout. I tell them "just one" for me. There's a little good natured ribbing when I leave after one, and that's okay.12 -
My sister (we are both 5’ 1”) quit smoking and lost 42 pounds in the last 2 years. We are now the exact same weight! I am soooo proud of her. Going to take her skiing tomorrow and she will be able to use her new fitness to fly!33

This morning I started week 8 of c25k (the final week!) 28 minutes of jogging. At around the 8 minutes left mark I got a stitch, I just slowed down a little and kept on going. It's hard to believe that come Friday I will have completed the whole thing. I have started c25k so many times over my life, I'm just so proud that I've stuck with it this time around and will be soon jogging for 30 minutes each morning 😁
I enjoyed my weekend of barrel racing. Our first round was far from our best run, but we managed to tidy it up for the 2nd round to end up in the bottom of the 2nd division. 2D is where I want to be so I'm happy with that.
I got a few compliments about my weight over the weekend. The best one coming from my friend who doesn't pay a lot of compliments out, saying that she was so happy to see my hard work paying off, she has seen me working for years and said it was about time it started going my way. I couldn't stop grinning after that one.
Another friend tagged me in a photo from the weekend and I actually had to take a second look. I knew I had lost weight, I can see it in the mirror and even in my progress selfies I take, but somehow seeing this photo was different. It just cemented in my mind that yes, you can tell I've lost weight, no, people aren't just pulling my leg when they mention it, I'm not imagining it in the mirror and in my photos and no, the scales aren't lying to me! Speaking of scales- they only went slightly up this morning from Friday- 92.75 this morning and 92.2 on Friday, I expected a gain after my few indulgences over the weekend, so I'm happy it's only a small increase 😁12
