What's Your Most Recent NSV

I have some super old school wall exercising charts in the little workout room and here's the first one--it's the warm-up routine--BEFORE I get started with the other bodyweight and lifting workout routines--these big pictures show me what to do all week (Sunday-Monday). I've had them for many, many, years and today I attempted the "warm-up" exercises and didn't get even CLOSE to completing them, BUT I've started and am so looking forward to being able to complete the entire routine. That's going to take a lot of time for me to fully accomplish--but it's on and thrilling too
Today, I did the 10 minute stationary bike, leg stretch, 10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups, 10 arm curls with 5lbs weights on both arms...got a long way to go before I can get thru the warm-ups alone, let alone the Mon-fri stuff, but a super NSV for me today!

Me too!!!!! It's an amazing feeling.10 -
We had our A1C tests done yesterday. Today I had a follow up appointment with my doctor. Hubby's is tomorrow.
For those who are not familiar with A1C, if you're above 5.7, you're in danger. Above 6.5 means you're full-blown diabetic. I've been as high as at least 11, maybe 12, but I'm working on it very hard. Last time, it was 8.6. Doctor had set a goal for me of below 7.5.
So, she hadn't yet seen the results of yesterday's A1C, but the lab had e-mailed it to me, so I knew already. Doctor came into the exam room, sat down at the computer monitor, called up the results of the test....
6.7.
She actually yelled for joy.
Oh, and she officially took "morbidly obese" off my medical chart.
Hubby's was 6.0. Even better than mine. He's only in the "prediabetic" range now. Can't wait to see HIS doctor's reaction tomorrow.57 -

That an incredible achievement. You should be so proud of yourself and the work you have done.2 -
Monday, I was in a meeting with our CEO and he congratulated me on my weight loss and said he was really proud of me because he knows personally how tough it can be to lose weight.
Then yesterday, I was walking into work and a guy I worked with regularly when I was in the warehouse post-college said I was looking great and smaller than he'd ever seen me and that I had motivated him to lose some weight too. He just hadn't had a chance to congratulate me yet.
For reference, I've lost 130 pounds in the last 8 1/2 months. Feels good especially considering I still feel like I have at least 80 pounds left to lose.39 -
I haven’t really had one in a while, but I’m noticing lately that the loose skin on my upper arms is definitely tightening up! I have been maintaining a 44 pound loss since October, so it’s a gradual process but it’s happening:).23

Fitting in a size medium dress!26

My fiance and I go to a small town, privately owned "old school" type gym.
We had the owner approach us and ask us to "keep an eye on the place" and message him if we noticed anything awry, as he was going on vacation and because he said "you two are my most frequent gym goers and I know I can trust you both with my gym"
It felt really good to know that our key cards are swiped the most out of any other gym members

I've been doing a couch to 5K program and I've really been enjoying it. The enjoyment is a non-scale victory, or at least a pleasant non-scale surprise. I love watching dumb TV shows, though I rarely do so, and I run on a treadmill that has a TV. I click that sucker on and before you know it, the Real Housewives or Below Deck has taken me so deeply to Guilty Pleasureville that I hardly notice my own effort. I've even started extending my run/walks past the prescribed couch to 5K workouts, which are usually about 29 minutes long, to 45 minutes - because the combination of entertainment and physical effort are that enjoyable.
Likewise, for NSV #2, I bought a dress online recently and I wore it while running around on errands yesterday, even though my legs are very, very pale and I'm not in tip-top shape. And of course, no one laughed or pointed or stared. I'm just a person in a dress. Go me!31 -
I don't have a lot of time between work and school for an 'official' workout, so I've been focusing on walking my dogs for 20 minutes each day and doing squats and incline pushups every time I go to the bathroom.
Today, after a month and a half, I checked myself in the mirror and was pleasantly surprised to find I had a bit of roundness to my glutes and that my sleeves are a bit loose

Fitting into some work shirts that have been too tight for 2 years!17

Went to TJ Maxx today just to use the bathroom, but I saw this cute shirt on clearance. Medium. I thought "What the heck" and tried it on...it fit! My first Medium in over 20 years! I had to buy it!30

I ran with my puppy down the street for a few minutes. That sounds like the most boring story ever, except I've never even been able to run for a train, or run to my car in the rain, because I'd be all out of breath and tired and stuff. Today I was not out of breath at all.
That said... I couldn't run that much, because my pants were in serious danger of falling off. =P
My stomach isn't really smaller but my butt and hips are.27 -
A Victoria Secret bra in size LARGE. I avoided them when younger and bigger. Also $7.99 sale so that was great too.
14.5 pounds away from my minigoal of 191.. puts me in overweight bmi.15 -
Was shirt shopping at Nordstrom’s Rack and felt confident enough about my size to buy an “L” without trying it on first. It fits perfectly! I started as a +1, so this feels like a big victory15

Feeling really pumped!20 -

Crossing milestones lines in the sand gives a measurable sense of accomplishment that's like putting new fuel in the tank to continue the journey. Congratulations; now keep marching forward!
