I went to the neurologist 2 weeks ago. The nurse doesn't weigh you there but just asks, she said your chart says you're 215 but you look smaller. I was so happy to say, I was 177.5 on the scale this morning. That felt good, why did I just eat a sugar cookie when someone in the office offered it?18

Someone brought lunch in for our office today and I said "no" to the brownie and ate my pulled chicken without a bun.18

This morning was hard! There was no way I was going to go close to hitting my pb on the 5k jog (remains the almost 38 minutes, my very first 5k.) I had the go slows getting out the door. I could have easily went back to bed and skipped it this morning, but I knew I couldn't make up for it tonight as I have firies training and would be really late by the time we finished training and I went for my jog. I contemplated going back to bed for an hour and just riding this afternoon, but with me finishing at 4 and firies training starting at 5:30, I figured it would be a rush and I wouldn't get a very productive training session in on Shakaya. So I splashed my face with some cold water and Diva (my cattle dog b!tch) and I toddled off on our 5k jog. I was surprised to see that I completed the 5k in less than 43 minutes. I expected to be much longer since I felt like I was going a bit slower. I got a stitch about halfway so had to slow down until that subsided.
My training session on Shakaya went well this morning and I'm glad I pushed myself when I really wanted to go back to bed.19 -
I have accomplished a few more NSVs along the last weeks, and I'm thrilled to share them!
- I have finally put aside two pairs of jeans that were huge on me now. It's one thing to enjoy the looseness of the clothes, but eventually it gets to the point where they just look ridiculous on me. No need for that.
- Belt notches are progressing nicely.
- I'm no longer obese, just overweight. And working my way down!
- I can finally notice a difference when I see myself in the mirror.
It's been a lonely journey (aside from this community), but worth every minute!22 -

I hear you on the mirror thing. One day on this health journey I walked by the mirror and stopped and told my husband, who happened to be in the room, "hey, I can see me again". I finally could see myself as I remembered me to be in my reflection. The mirror view is so powerful!10 -
I went to inspect an new gym The guy was really helpful and nice. He explained that on intake they do some tests and measure etc. One of the thing they measure is body fat; His comment, "but I don't think that will be a discussion point in your case" felt good.
Also you could see him think - how can I push this woman further - she is fit already. Hey I am joining the gym and ask for help because I am plateauing15 -
If I would have laid in bed after the alarm this morning I'm sure I could have talked myself out of going to the gym, instead I jumped right up and hit the gym for a good workout!18

Dogs woke me up early. Decided to get a little workout in this morning before getting ready for work.14

Nice! Brownies are difficult to turn down. Tomorrow at work there is free pizza. I love pizza. I will need to stay out of the staff lounge

This is a biggie for me: learning to incorporate former binge foods into my healthier eating plan without all the bells and whistles going off in my head!
Yesterday I made a lemon loaf, except I split the recipe into two loaves. I froze one for a friend (honest!) and kept the other for me to dole out one slice a day as a treat. No way would I have done that before getting into a healthier mindset as the whole loaf would've been too tempting.
One more sign I'm progressing with this: I had a craving for pasta the other night. I think I can count on one hand the times I've eaten a "normal" serving size of pasta in my life. It's typically an enormous bowl, along with garlic bread and Italian sausages. And lots of Parmesan cheese, of course. You'd think I was training for the Olympics if you saw what I could easily wolf down. So in the past few years I've shied away from making pasta at home, afraid of the dreaded triggers. Not anymore. I'm still having the pasta, the not-so-healthy jarred sauce (until I can get off my butt and make my own!) and the Italian sausage, just no bread. And I added tons of mushrooms, spinach & extra tomatoes in the sauce. It's amazing how emotionally good it feels to eat one portion and be satisfied mentally and physically, when pasta used to represent a means of quieting anxiety/filling an emotional ache.
Please know that if I can get over these hurdles, you can too.

Hubs noticed the ever elusive "thigh gap" while I was doing evening stretches last night. Before it became a thing, it never occured to me that I would have one. When it was a thing, it never bothered me I didn't have one. I just thought my body wasn't designed that way. The really cool thing though? I haven't blew out the thighs in my jeans in a long while.19

This is such a beautiful NSV! My family growing up served huge portions of pasta. When my husband first ate dinner with my parents, he was appalled. I just thought it was normal to eat that much! It does feel so much better to eat an appropriate amount of food and feel satisfied.
One thing that helped me was realizing that every meal isn’t my last meal on earth. For some reason I always used to eat all the food I craved in one sitting. It took me some work to get to the point that I think, “I can have a cookie today, and a piece of banana bread tomorrow.” And look forward to eating the banana bread, instead of feeling panicked and deprived.22 -
Ran this morning in sports bra and joggers.
Cross this off a running goal for 2019! Sometimes the biggest hurdles aren't the physical ones.
No NSV would be complete without a bad sweaty mirror selfie with it, right?

Went on a business trip to Oslo and managed to keep calories under daily allowance and even worked out in my hotel room. And I wasn't tempted by any of the yummy junkie food at the airports!19
