What's Your Most Recent NSV

I'm getting used to my 5 pound dumbells! I want to get some 10 pound ones soon. I've also done strength training for 40 minutes twice this week, which is quite a lot going from absolutely nothing at all.

All the mountain biking this summer has really paid off in my overall fitness and especially my leg muscles. A year ago these legs were covered in a few layers of fat! I'm 55 years old, never give up!

Three cheers for all those striations, my friend! #goals

Lost an inch off my waist! No wonder my formerly favourite jeans are now too loose, and my formerly too-tight jeans now fit perfectly!

Being able to move from the back of the shopping cart to the front of the shopping cart in the check out lane at Aldi without having to suck in my gut and barely squeeze through! This alone made the last 7 months of workouts worth the effort!

After my extremely long and slow 10k a few days back, my legs begged me to go back to the 60 minutes running time that I had been doing.

I obliged and my legs thanked me for it.

The NSV is that I can (consistently) run further in that 60 minutes - today was quarter of a mile further than before. I know, doesn't sound a lot but it felt like it was a lot further. Even my son was asking if we'd missed the timer telling us that the hour was up!


Garmin connect also gave me a badge for running the 10k. The next running badge I can get is the half-marathon badge. Hmmm. It'll be a while before I see that one then.


My step count is being elevated at home as well; finally, a year after getting the keys to our new home, we have carpet in the lounge instead of a bare, concrete floor (long story). The carpet is wonderful, thick, soft, luxurious and I just cannot stop walking around on it (clean bare feet, of course). I had no idea that carpet could be so life changing.

Putting on a pair of size 32 shorts yesterday, and they fit!

A year and a half ago I was size 62. My jeans are still 34s, but that is pretty good as well. When I go to put on clothes now I am still amazed that something so small can go on my body.

Sort of a non-scale victory. Had a physical a couple of days ago. The doctor was reviewing my history as we were finishing up and he says "You don't need to lose any more weight". I disagree, but it was still good to hear that. 😁

My 1” thick cushy yoga mat has arrived. No more knee pain in tabletop pose!

My phone gave me an award for most calories burned in a hike!
