My wife and I joined a co-ed softball team. It's the first time I've played in a couple of years but I played some in high school, college, and right after I graduated. We went to our first practice Tuesday night and honestly it was the most fun I've had playing sports since I was young kid.
I had a ton of energy and just enjoyed myself running around. I moved better than I could remember moving in a long time and I didn't feel fatigued and lazy. It was really nice and now I can't wait to get back out there and play again.22 -
I have a couple.
1.) For the third night in a row, my bedtime blood glucose reading was low enough that it was not safe for me to take insulin. I am taking less and less of it, under supervision by a doctor.
2.) I am also phasing out my cane. I use it only for exercise walking, when I'm going for top speed. For short trips and everyday errands, nah. Not even over curbs and uneven ground, where it used to be VITAL. I'm still awkward and a little slow without it. To go down a flight of stairs, I have to lean heavily on the rail and take one step at a time.
Technically, it's too soon to ditch the cane because I'm not yet where I can balance on one foot for 15 seconds. But I guess I'm anxious. I'd love to not have to consider myself disabled anymore. And I didn't think it would be possible to ever go without my cane.48 -
My scale might not be moving much but I was able to fit into a pair of slacks I haven't been able to wear in 2 years. I'll take that NSV.25

Downside...bra shopping. Loathe it. 😢
Not sure which country you hail from but I actually enjoy underwear (and swimwear) shopping in Bravissimo (UK. not sure if they are anywhere else) - the staff there are brilliant at finding a style and size which fits and flatters - I too have always hated having big boobs and bra shopping was a nightmare. They are a bit pricey (not too horrendous but a little bit more than good M&S styles) but I only buy about 3, wear them in rotation and buy new ones often. They have some pretty styles5 -

I live in Canada and pay the overseas shipping from Bravissimo. Even with the exchange rate they are 50% cheaper than the cheapest bra store in my city.
If I ever take a trip down there that store is on my LIST. I have always wanted to go in.6 -
I ordered some watch straps for my Fitbit months ago but when they arrived, one was small instead of large. Instead of sending it back, I just put it to one side.
As of yesterday it fits *grins*25 -
After 2 decades of weighing in the 250-300+lb range, I am back to my wedding day weight. My grown daughters have rejected my wedding dress that I have saved for 30 years in case they wanted it (it's TOO 80's, Mom!) So before I sent it off to Goodwill, I thought I would see if I could fit back into it. Success!
(Now if I could only fix what gravity has done to my face )

Thanks AnnPT77! The younger version had never set foot inside of a gym and probably could manage 5 knee push-ups. The older version joined a gym on her 50th birthday, does strength training 6 days/week, lost 130 lbs, and can do 50 regular push-ups. Moral of the story--NEVER let anyone tell you it's too late to start!!

This is an Nsv of ALL Nsv's for me...
I just thought about this today, I am perfectly content in every area of my life...absolutely NO complaints at all--NONE!
WOW, that IS and feels so very ultra good to know, think and be. I used to be such a nagging, angry, stuck/helpless/victim mentality , critical, murmuring mal-content for MANY YEARS and one of my major and constant complaints was "if I could only be slim and trim again" THEN, I would be (fill in the blank) for YEARS & YEARS that complaint and mind-set dogged my every thought and foot step and haunted me something YUCK. Now that I am now slim and trim, as I look around me (my mental, spiritual, physical and life and health, home, relationships, everything)...it's ALL good. YES, I continue to fight the "good fight of faith" daily, life in general highs and lows and daily have issues, troubles and temptations are ever still rearing their sometimes yucky heads up in my life, but I no longer see these things seemingly negative people, places and things as "enemies or problems" I see them as "learning opportunities, growth/choices realities and humbling myself tools" instead of embracing these sometime daily battles as problems, I see them as again, opportunities of change now. WOW....just WOW!!!!
I am content ( NOT complacent mind you--NO, content and at PEACE) in every area of my life, what a tremendous space and place to be---big ole HUGE, WONDERFUL and POWERFUL Nsv for me and those around me...Thank you Lord and super ultra BOOM and YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!15 -

My husband has to take me on a date because the one corset I saved fits again. It is a cutesy gingham thing, so more appropriate for the kinds of dates we have these days.
Most of my dresses have become obscene because I only barely ever filled the tops and now I don't have so much bulk in my shoulders helping fill them out.5 -
