What's Your Most Recent NSV

Being able to fit into a dress like this one ☝️ Just a year ago I wouldn’t have even attempted it 😌

My NSV is that I have finally gotten past the worse of a major sinus infection that got in my chest. I was having trouble just going up and down the stairs at the house.
Yesterday I hit the elliptical for 20 minutes at a moderate pace, this would have killed me just this past weekend.
I also had a shoulder injury that has gotten well enough for me to lift light and to hit the heavy bag, which I did for 12 minutes yesterday.

Put my size 38 pants (recently purchased) into the pile of many size 40 (and a couple of size 42 from way back when) pants for Goodwill. Bought another pair of size 36 today. Still a ways to go, so I'm not going to buy too many yet.

Just got back fro hospital where I had an eximination
The biggest problem was my heart monitor It kept bleeping as in full rest my HR sometimes goes below 40 and well that machine thought it not good.
Also noted It was hard to find good vein - they are sunken in between my finger bones
Nurse was saying I was so healthy all over that the equipment could not cope it it anymore. She also suspected my blood pressure would low just on looking at me (she was right).
She mentioned they do not often get patients that are in such good physical shape. I am actually proud of that :-)

I am so happy to read that I am not the only one who has that. Ever since I have started my cardio regime, my resting heart rate has dropped from 65 to about 45-50. No symptoms of bradycardia but it still somehow shocked me.

Went on vacation and lost 1.8 pounds 🙂

That my mind/thoughts, body and soul is at 100% PERFECT (mature/foolproof/excelling) PEACE (and peace like a lovely river as a matter of FACT)...I have and am committed to NOT allowing/receiving/looking for/believing/ENTERTAINING absolutely NO thoughts/actions nor deeds of fear, no shame, no faintheartedness, no anxiety, no terror, no doubts, no consternation, no confusion, no cowardice, no ignorance, no MESS at all, period. I'm the BOSS of what I allow in my head/mind and heart and body and no amount of pressure nor cognitive dissonance nor "bad reports" of ANYTHING going on "around me" are going to move me from the place of peace and quiet and total control over my thoughts and actions and reactions. No matter the storm(s) and storms will come and they will go I'm determined to think, live and be COOL, CALM and COLLECTED come what may...I'm ready, willing and able to handle ALL things thru Christ who strengthen and leads and guides/teaches me--His Way, His Truth and His Life, period.

I purposely CHOOSE to roll with any and ALL punches, no matter how long/hard/difficult/serious--life changing/altering they are--I am utterly determined to handle them (the trouble) with full grace/power and utter humility and dependence on my God ( The God of the bible, the God of Abraham, Issac, Jacob and Jesus) The ONLY True and Living God, period. NOTHING (no thing) shall move me outta the place of peace/joy and especially LOVE!

Troubles, woes, calamities and YUCK can and will come--that's life and life and death (and taxes I reckon) are a part of each other...how I react/receive them is for me, everything to do with living/thinking/being FILLED with peace like a river, no matter what. Wow--what a MEGA ULTRA TREMENDOUS NSV this is--just....PERFECT! I chose to think/live and be filled with JOY and PEACE anything that tries it's d@mnest (literally) to take me out of that space is an enemy to me, no matter how much it/they/I try to convince me they're here to help, period. If/when fear/dread and yucky woe tries to bombard me with it's "mess"...I'll simply SEE IT for what it TRULY is and I'll CHOOSE to not have it/allow it, period.

YAY ME & big ole wonderful BOOM!!!!

ETA: Also, hubby just SURPRISED ME and brought home some organic corned beef briskets to cook and some to freeze--so we'll be having a bunch of corned beef and cabbage meals around MEGA YAY!!!!

My stomach isn't projecting past my tits. I have a great deal of tits, and stomach. Still a lot of stomach but it's shrinking!

Got my blood test results back from my yearly physical. Everything is perfect, and my good cholesterol is almost high enough to be preventative. Not sure exactly what that means, but it sounds good!

I was at the GI doctor today, and he wants to do an ultrasound. He said they should be able to see everything well because I'm "thin". I'm not sure he would have said that 27 lbs ago? (Btw, my BMI is 22.3, so I guess in the middle?)

I really wanted a donut last night but it would have put me over by 58 calories, so I jogged in place until my fitbit measured an additional 58 calories used.

Laughs on me though, turns out my fitbit hadn't updated on MFP, I refreshed it and POW! Turns out I had a 98 calorie deficit for the day! I'll take it!

I can now watch America's Next Top Model, without it having a negative effect on my self esteem or being triggering of my past eating disorder.
I've come to truly, truly love and appreciate my own athletic curves.
They're all beautiful, don't get me wrong, but I'm happier to stay muscular.

I’ve been on this journey for 9 weeks now and have lost 18lbs so far.
People are beginning to comment which is great.

My favourite NSV so far happened the other day.

My wife brought me a smart jacket for Christmas last year, and I was so embarrassed when it didn’t fit! I couldn’t even zip it up. On misplacing my larger jacket I have been wearing for years I looked at the one she gave me and just thought..., I wonder!

It fits, in fact, I have room in it.

My wife and I are both delighted 😀

Sort of bummed yesterday when I weighed in for the week, no loss. Then today when I dressed I pulled up a pair of jeans I’d bought about five years ago. They fit better today than when I originally bought them. Wore them all day comfortably. Every few weeks I can bring an old favorite back into my wardrobe. It’s great incentive!

I don't need the extender any more on the new, smaller bras.

I went from being able to plank no more than 20 seconds (January, 2020) to now being able to plank 2.5 minutes!
