What's Your Most Recent NSV

I turn 27 in three days. Today I'm wearing a size 0 dress I bought to 'slim into' when I was 21!

Today I felt like a runner. I was doing C25K on a treadmill in January and got to week 5 then broke my toe. I started back week 1 today but running outside in hilly neighbourhood, and I loved it, wanted to keep running on walk breaks and hardly broke a sweat. I was passed by other runners and felt a sense of belonging. I’m a long way off being a proper runner but felt like it’s within touching distance. Also pleased the fitness I built up in the gym hasn’t gone completely to pot when I’ve been unable to workout. Can’t wait for my next run, I think the bug has finally got me lol

My nsv today is just taking the time to find my food scale (technically my sister helped me find it, but it is something I have been putting off) and actually weigh my food. I haven't bothered weighing out my portions so far in this attempt at weight loss, but I have been eyeballing my portions for the most part and I think it has been really slowing me down of late.

Sorry, couldn't let this one lie.

You choose to run, therefore you are a runner.

Times, distances, size and shape, everything else is irrelevant.

Lol thanks for this, yay me, I’m a runner! 🏃🏽‍♀️

And let's broaden that out: If you plan and work to improve your physical performance, you're an athlete: Own it.

I hate to read "I'm not an athlete, but . . . ."

So I was drying my hair and I had flipped it upside down, bent over to form my curls and I noticed that there is starting to be a tiny tiny gap between my upper thighs. A couple of months ago it was a tight shut xD

I feel like my NSV are just piling up lately:

It seems everyday I'm adding another piece of too big clothes to my Goodwill box.

I'm wearing a pair of white pants that I haven't worn for over 10 years.

My legs look amazing in shorts!

And I can't stop staring at my belly. It's still a little fat but man it seems like half the size it used to be.

Woo!

I just bought a size 16 Kate Spade dress to wear to my daughters college graduation next week. Most of my friends would probably die if they had to wear a size 16 dress but I'm psyched!! Could it be I won't be shopping in the plus size department??? I can't believe it!!

And according to my unscientific Google research, Kate Spade actually runs a little small so you're doing super great!

Today I ordered food at a food truck, sat next to it on a very busy shopping street all alone, ate my meal and didn't freak out (well at least not too much) about people seeing me eat. This may sound very weird but it's such a nice small victory for me. When I was morbidly orbese I avoided eating out. I would do it in a restaurant sitting in a small corner with friends but out in public (alone!!) on a busy street where hundreds of people could see and (in my head?!) judge me? Hell no. But today I did it. Yay. \o/

Also I went shopping and tried on many dresses and didn't feel horrible. Some looked even nice (and they actually fit ) I didn't buy anything, because I wanna wait 'til I hit my goal weight before I buy new (awesome) clothes. However it was still nice trying on a bunch of stuff and see that I at least already look better in dresses than a year ago.

Started wearing some pajama pants I found in my closet that were way too tight to wear a while back.

Three years ago I had an ACL surgery on my left knee. When I restarted losing my weight in late March the differences between left thigh&right thight and left knee&right knee were over 1.5cm. After a month of losing weight and sporadic weight training, right now they are only 0.5cm different!

I'm currently on vacation, but my friends and I decided to do a nice hiking trail the other day. Well little did we know it was actually a 10+ hour roundtrip hike that included many many stairs, bouldering, and use of every muscle.

Even though there were a lot of times that I wanted to give up, I finished it! It's been three days since and my body is still very sore, but I did it!

YES! I was gonna say this too based on personal experience. Both Kate Spade and Banana Republic, I wear a 14. I wear 10 and 12 everywhere else.

After almost a year and losing over 80lbs, I hit goal today. I did the happy dance I've been looking forward to for so long! 😄 My NSV was that I went to the supermarket this afternoon, filled up my basket and didn't buy a single treat! Not because I didn't want to reward myself, but because I didn't want to use food as a reward and I really want to make a success of maintenance!
