What's Your Most Recent NSV

Scored a 93 on the USAF PT Test (not in the AF but was held at my gym), which falls under the excellent rating!

My NSV has been eating a healthy breakfast at home for the last week

Normally, my morning routine is going to Starbucks on my way to work for an everything bagel with butter and a cup of coffee. But since November 1, I've been making breakfast and coffee at home and it's been a nice feeling of accomplishment, which I don't get often. I switched out the bagel with butter for a multigrain english muffin with hummus and a hard boil egg. My coffee brewing could use some improvement, but hopefully that will happen as I make it more!

I just have to share here because I am so damn proud and I know you all will understand.
So, this is technically a non scale victory, because its not my weight on the scale.
My husband is 300lbs. Granted, he only has about an extra 40-50 lbs of fat on him. The rest is solid muscle. The man is a rhinoceros. He spends so much time in the gym.
But, we all know what an extra 40-50 lbs looks like. And what it does to your body.
He's gained about 30 since we started dating. He says its partially my fault because I'm a good cook. Whoops, lol.
I tried to help him with MFP almost a year ago and he couldn't committ to it. I think its because I am a grazer, I like to eat every few hours. And I was preparing him food that way and it just got to be exhausting for him. That, and we lived in an area with no internet access and no cell phone service. Makes it a pain in the butt to log.
We've moved though, and I've started doing separate meal prep for him, with larger meals so he only has to eat 3 times a day and then there's room for his protein and a couple snacks.

Guys. Its been about a week and a half. And this man, this wonderful man of mine, has lost 6 and a half pounds already. Which, some of it could be water weight. But, I know the more you have to lose, the faster you are able to lose it. So part of me thinks it could be mostly fat. I know when I first started, I was losing consistently 3-5 lbs per week for the first month and a half.

Water weight or not, he is so excited and this has woken a new drive in him. He is so motivated to keep going now that he has seen a decrease in the scale. I am so thrilled for him. I love him entirely, regardless of if he loses the weight or not. But I want him to learn to love himself completely, too. And I want him to be around for a long time. It is so exciting to see what inspiring people and gently pointing them in the right direction is going.

Just tried on pants that I haven't worn in over 2 years and they fit! They're not even tight like I thought they would be! I really should have moved up to the next size of pants but I was stubborn and didn't want to admit that I'd gotten that big. Well now all my stubborn pants fit nicely and hopefully soon they will start getting loose

All my size 6 pants/jeans fall to my hips easily slide right off without unzipping, even my tightest cotton corduroy ones that I wore today were that loose. They're so baggy they look like extra weight I'm trying to hide but don't have anymore. Also, it's time to purge all the tent dresses I bought years ago to hide my trouble area.

I got complemented 3-4 times today wearing a particular blouse/shirt, its quite loose, but very structural. Sure I like it, the shape is unusual, but I've been wearing it about a month, many people saw me wearing this before. I think its the, oh, you look better than normal, what is it, oh it must be your shirt.

I’m not usually a cold weather runner but I went out the other morning with a headlamp (before DSL ended) nsv!

I ran a sub 10min mile split for my second mile. Felt so great!

I noticed my calves look noticably thinner today. I am off weighing for now but little things like that makes me positive that I'm getting results for my efforts!

Woo hoo! I did some full push-ups today! In proper form! I wasn't expecting that...
