What's Your Most Recent NSV

After a few months long haitus to calorie counting and working out, I got on the bandwagon again to avoid gaining back everything I lost. In doing so, I also got my husband to download MFP and start couting his calories too!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful 2020!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 everyone’s NSV’s are sooo inspiring!!!

I like to take before & after photos to note the differences. Seeing my comparison photo this morning made me realize how far I’ve come!! I used to wear a 3/4X & now wear a small/medium. I also could barely walk down the street or up the stairs & now exercise 6 out of 7 days of the week!! 💖💪💕

Wow and super YAY YOU...these pics makes me smile from ear to ear, I'm SO HAPPY for you!

I did my first ever park run this past Saturday whilst on holiday with friends, after a week filled with hiking at least 5-10km every day, and was able to beat out most of our group of friends, most of them on 50 or more parkruns already. (Admittedly, this was not their home run and was a lot steeper and more mountainy than what they are used to)

It was a lot of fun, and both myself and my boyfriend have agreed that we will try to do the park runs in our area as often as possible this year.

I did 2 minutes of bicycle crunches without stopping or slowing down. I used to get about 15 seconds in and just fall apart haha.

I realized I needed to lose some weight when I wore a pair of pants and a button popped off and the crotch seam popped open in the same day (I had to buy a small sewing kit form an airport shop and sew them up in a bathroom stall). My NSV is that I wore those pants again for the first time since I started with MFP and they are now a little too big.

While chitchatting with some folks today, I listened to several ambitious resolutions for the new year, then realized I had nothing to contribute back to the conversation. That's my NSV - turns out, I've started a year happy with my current processes.

Life isn't perfect, mind you! But it is currently heading in the right direction

I LOVE this. I've never been a 'start on the big date/resolution' kind of person; I'd rather start a new thing on a Thursday than a Monday, and don't want my first half-marathon to be run a year my age ends in 0 or 5. So glad for you, @martianspuds , that life is trending well and well in hand!

My NSV is that I've reinstated my lunchtime walks. I live only a 7 minute walk from my office (not complaining!!) which means that my TDEE has dropped in this role. But I know plenty of ways to walk for 30 minutes and have been out every work day for the past few weeks. It makes such a difference!

short story: my mood has improved tremendously!

longer story:my 3 month before and after photos do show some physical changes but the most shocking thing to me is my face in these pictures. You can tell I was miserable-ish in the before photo and now I look at myself with love because I've been taking care of my body better.
