NSV for me was restarting mid-month after slipping up early in the month. Typically I’d slip up a few days, see the holiday coming at the end of the month and just tell myself I’d restart June 1st.
Tracked Y
Calories Y
Exercise Y - It finally stopped raining! Two, 20 minute dog walks and one 40 minute dog walk8 -
Exercise: YES! Walked at work and also tonight with my hubby!
Calories: YES!
Tracked: YES!!7 -
I fell off the grid for a few days! We were out of town visiting family over the weekend. I’m trying to get in the swing of this maintenance thing. I won’t track food forever but for now I still need to! Yesterday was yes x3 - strength training. Today was yes x3 - a 5km walk/run.
NSV this month is that my husband and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary on the 5th. Every few years I pull out my wedding dress for fun. It was an expensive dress so I might as well get some use out of it! It is a very fitted dress and was custom tailored to my body 12 years and 3 kids ago. The last time I pulled it out, it did not fit... this year it did and I felt great in it!
I’m also excited about seeing some definition in my arms even when I’m not flexing.10 -
3 X’s Yes!
My exercise was opening night of the farmers market I manage, setting up tents, hauling tables. Lap after lap of checking in with farmers.
I got a second NSV too, one of my farmers didn’t recognize me!

Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
@MadisonMolly2017, congrats on your "paying" student. That's great!
@peachpastries, try putting vinegar on your sunburn. It will really help, but you will smell like a pickle.
@loopydo2017, Happy Anniversary and great NSV!!3 -
5/14 - yes x 3
5/15 - yes x 3
Loved reading everyone’s NSV’s! What a fun idea! My NSV is simply feeling BETTER. Mentally and physically. Not seeing a big difference in the mirror yet but I feel so much better than I did a month ago!7 -
exercise: no, was home from work with sinus infection
calories: under budget
tracked: yes3 -
Nsv: Actually wanting to work out! In fact this morning I was cramping and couldn’t work out so when I dropped of my students to lunch and recess I got my workout in! Locked my classroom door and got my 30 mins in! Then we had a family night at our school and I played a round of laser tag. Then went grocery shopping for a few things then got home and took my dogs on a 25 min walk. No way would I have the energy to do all that 65 days ago. Also I’ve been vegan for 65 days! I’ll NEVER go back.
Exercised: P90X3 agility x, laser tag at our schools family event
Tracked: yes
Under: yes

Best day of the month!
It is however my third pass day, due to national cookie day.
Great NSV from boot camp this morning, two of them. Ive seen visible progress in three weeks while trying to do chin ups. Im doing an assisted variation with my knee perched on a tight resistance band... Slow but steady progress. Ill take it! Then today when putting the 45lb barbell away on the rack, i was weirded out by how light it felt, and easy it was to move it around the gym. "OH! Cause im getting stronger"
I have only NSV for the past
2 months. Totally great, but Im long past due for a SV. My composition shows progress, but im not being as diciplined with cardio and probably need to lower (stick to!) calories to see the scale move. Awesome thing about MFP and this group is that it makes it plain to see the numbers and reasons why the scale hasnt moved. (EI, blips like national cookie day) Onward!6 -
Yes x3!
NSV: people have been asking how I lost the weight. I tell them MFP.11 -
Daily report:
64 minutes of stationary biking
All food tracked
Well under calorie goal (makes up for yesterday's pass)9 -
5/15:
Exercise: Yes, 35 min strength training with dumbbells
Calories: Yes, under
Tracked: Yes, everything!!
Congrats everyone on all the awesome NSV’s! For me, I’ve lost 29 pounds (30 more to go) so I’m loving how my clothes fit better and how I feel strong and healthy. Also I no longer feel like food controls me. I have finally conquered the sugar monster!!11 -
Exercise - no - surgical procedure today.
Calories - surprisingly -yes

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 3 mile run outside today
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and slightly under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!
I love reading everyone's NSVs! For me, right now my biggest NSV is still maintaining a 50+ weight loss -- July 1st will be 2 years. Although my main weight loss was a bit more than that and I'm working on losing the last few pounds again, my closet still fits, fitness continues to be a main part of my life, and I can fun half-marathons. So as far as I'm concerned, I'm still winning! 10 -
@loopydo2017 Your post has now inspired me to make fitting into my wedding dress one of my goals! It was almost 12 years ago and 3 large babies.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
I have a couple NSVs. First, I haven't quit. This is my first month doing the UAC - typically I'll start logging on MFP only to quit after a couple days. I honestly don't know if I've made it a week before joining this group. So - THANK YOU! Also, my attitude with my kids is much more patient. I don't know what it is - but I like it. Feeling more and more like myself.

Oatmeal is my "go to" almost every morning, enhanced with some flax meal, plus a few grams of raisins and chopped walnuts. Bonnie's picture is very familiar and makes me feel right at home. Glad you were inspired 3 -
@RangerRickL, thanks! I'm so proud of myself that I was able to resist the donuts! Lots of credit to this group of encouraging, supportive friends who have made me stronger and more confident in my choices!!

Good morning,
Some of you may remember me … lol......I've been away for a week now. Took a trip to see my daughter receive her Master's degree in nursing and it was so wonderful. Very proud momma
At the beginning of my trip I started off with good choices, however getting my exercise in just was not happening. At pit stops we were wanting to get right back on the road. As those days accumulated and the wine poured I found myself less concerned about making the right choices. Although I did think of the UAC challenge often throughout each day. My positive takeaways from this trip and my NSV also, is that I started reading a book called the Alcohol Experiment. It inspired me to set a date to start the "experiment" of not drinking for 30 days. As of today I am 3 days alcohol free. Feeling great!
So now that I'm back to a regular schedule I'd like to jump back in here. Last I tracked was the 8th and I was at 4 pass days. Pass days for the 9th - 13th.
14th & 15th Yes's times 3. 14th without exercise and yesterday with the exercise. I was at an all day training that provided lunch. My Jason's Deli tuna sandwich...….JUST A HALF was 400 calories...…..wow!!
Total of 9 pass days.
@RangerRickL Really enjoyed the Ted Talk. I feel connections with those we love is very important. I also feel a closeness with many of you here that have been such a fantastic support system. Thank you!

Yes x 3!
Exercise was intentionally walking at an outdoor mall. It is also part of my NSV: Deliberate consideration of how I will intentionally move my body each day.

Some pretty recent NSVs, went down a size in tops and leggings. Funny because I thought the clothes were stretched out, but I’d lost inches😜5 -

Super late to post this but I was just thinking of an NSV that has developed.
I've noticed that instead of looking for a parking place that will "save steps" I'm now looking for a parking place that will give me more steps. Doug used to ask if I wanted to be dropped off at the door since my knee hurt so much, but now I tell him to park out toward the back of the parking lot and I'll get more steps in.3 -
Such a fantastic NSV you recognized! That can become a valuable habit with benefits. You go girl!BonnieHosk85 wrote: »I've noticed that instead of looking for a parking place that will "save steps" I'm now looking for a parking place that will give me more steps. 0
