What's Your Most Recent NSV

There were a bunch of teens playing basketball in our cove when I got home today so I took our extra bag of Halloween candy out and asked if they wanted to split it among them. Made friends AND got rid of temptation!

I did not want to run this morning. Not at all. We had our first skiff of snow last night and the temp was right at the freezing mark. But I dressed for it and headed out the door anyway. And of course you know how the rest of the story goes......I had a good run and am very glad that I went. Which is exactly how I knew it would be. And yet I had tried to talk myself out of going. I guess the NSV is that I was able to over ride my default setting of sitting in a warm house with a cup of coffee in hand.

This was me, today. We had frost this morning and I was still a bit worn out from my long run on Thursday. Add in PMS on top of that and I was finding all kinds of excuses to skip my run.

I laid around for about an hour or two before I finally just got up and did it. I ran my scheduled 3 miles and managed negative splits without even trying.

Mine is that I like what I see. Hard work is paying off.✌🏽

While my weight has gone up and down with the same 2 ½ lbs these past 2 weeks (hopefully it’s settled and ready to start going downward again) I’ve seen some great improvements in other areas.
My shoulders are noticeably defined and feel solid. My biceps have definitely grown and will look amazing once the layer of fat is reduced.
After a 9 week plan of powerlifting, in my test week I deadlifted 120kg, bench pressed 55kg and squatted 100kg. For the next 6-8 weeks the plan will centre more around bodybuilding workout so I’m looking forward to seeing what that will bring to my NSV’s.

Today's NSV is I was able to jog on the treadmill for a whole minute 😁 I can speed walk all day but this body has never been able to jog for more than a few seconds before 😮

I'm starting to see more of the shadows that define my ab muscles and hips
My pants are ALL falling down... and my shirts are too baggy now. Even my under bra circumference has shrunk (cup size the same but I'll have to change the band width underneath, which is showing uneven pockets now...)
I'm happy about the weight-loss... though gosh, I gotta get a new wardrobe!

After being on a low-carb diet for a week, I've transitioned into a straight-up Keto diet - and my body has finally stopped screaming for sugar lol! I feel like everything is much more manageable right now.

Bought new pants that were 2 sizes smaller than 5 months ago and they're loose.
Got a haircut and they accidentally used my son's card instead of mine. 6 months ago, my head would ahve looked like a pear with my hair this short. Doesn't look bad.

I am not certain this is a NSV or just the solidification of a previous one: Today, I packed up all the mobility aids I needed to use last year and the first part of this year as part of my hip replacements recovery and took them to Goodwill to make them available for others who might need them. As I posted elsewhere, it was time to put more distance between me and my recent immobile past.

We got our family photos back and instead of only picking ones where I looked the least fat (which normally left me like 3-4 pics total) I liked the majority of the pictures!!!
