What's Your Most Recent NSV

On my way to the gym this morning (Saturday) I threw on my Rain coat and done up it comes down over My bum! I don’t think it’s ever done that 😁16

Today marks the 300th day I've been on this journey - and even though I'm taking it as a "holiday" I know I'll be right back to it tomorrow, just like the very few other "holidays" I've had. My body fat is below 31% and I'm BMI 29.2. It's nice to know that for the first time since I was a kid, my body composition isn't medically dangerous to me. And it's still improving. My persistence is the NSV.30

I’ve got another one.
I took a bit of a diet break the last few weeks, and I’m ok with it. Feel free to stop there, the rest is my external processing about that NSV
After reading in the forums here about another’s experience & decisions to plan in maintenance weeks around TOM, travel, or a holiday I decided to do it.
Had some good heart to hearts with myself in the process and for whatever reason I think I was subconsciously considering a diet break a failure (on my part) like I was too weak to stick it through these last 15-20lbs and juts push hard and get it done and be done with it. Couldn’t have told ya that’s what I was thinking, but I’ve had clarity about it and dang if that’s not spot on.
Perhaps it’s because I’m truly seeing scale results after years of child growing and baby nursing and not just markers of recomp (good decreased size measurements but no scale change) that I feel safe enough to let my foot off the gas a little and realize that not every week with be a loss week?
Who knows. When I figure it out I’ll likely get back on here and share it. but, for now, taking a break and not feeling like a quitter (HA! That’s the ticket! I bet last months realization that I’m not a quitter has helped this! Hahaha) is a big victory for me.

I cinched my belt to the last buckle hole, which I added myself, on the most recent belt I bought, trying to hold up the most recent pants I bought, which I've already taken in 4 inches. I like progress!22

I read the signals my body was sending-I don't crave salt, but tonight I could FEEL the need for salt. (I tend to avoid salty foods due to hypertension.) I made a steaming cup of bouillon. Delicious, and I can now feel the subtle change, happy cells. Am learning to hear my body, not just my taste buds!22

I did measures today and although it was expected I’m excited to have lost a bunch of inches! Even my stubborn calfs lost an inch! I can also see definite change in my progress photos.
Last night I had a small amount of candy and then I put the rest away and didn’t go back. I’m getting good at keeping treats in the house without them screaming my name at every turn.17 -
Additional NSV - my step average per day for 2020 is now 10 003. 10K average is my goal for the year, I think I can do it!16

Not eating even a SINGLE piece of candy this Halloween, bought some for the rest of the household and wasn't even tempted. I know people say "everything in moderation" though that's a concept I am still working on and I am still rather new in my weight loss journey so I don't feel comfortable jeopardizing my success at this point and triggering a binge. So, for me, not eating any candy was a really amazing and wonderful thing in comparison to past Halloweens' where I'd LITERALLY binge on an entire 80 piece of box candies and then some.22

I can now taste food additives. That's kind of an NSV because it's only possible because of my clean diet!15

First “let’s see where this road goes” longer bike ride. It wasn’t fast or pretty, esp with a near constant headwind the last 8 miles, but it’s done!21
-
I fast-walked 7 miles yesterday in 2 hours! Now, this may not seem like a big deal, and even to me it seems sort of small. You see, I've run 2 marathons and multiple half marathons. But a year ago I had ACL replacement surgery and have had to slowly build back up, so to me, it's a big deal! Of course, I'm VERY tired today and need a rest day, but that's part of the process31
-
I did 7 regular pushups yesterday!! I didn’t think I could even do one, let alone multiple in a row!20
-
I did a full Boat Pose for ten seconds yesterday!
21 -
Ran for 24 minutes straight yesterday. That is the first run interval of that length since before nerve injury 2+ years ago! Recovery continues!27
-
I've been able to pull my jeans down over my hips without unbuttoning them this week!18

Second week of waking up earlier to get a run in in the morning. The winter darkness has started to settle in and when it's so dark at 5pm, I have a very hard time to get out the door and run.19

My secret to late-night snacking? I have to record it in the next morning's food diary as a snack or breakfast. Being accountable to myself is the key.11

I gave myself yesterday unlogged to use food as a coping mechanism. That's not the victory.
The victory was that last night I prelogged today, got up today, and with relief ate a normal breakfast and am having a nice normal day on my diet. One day isn't the ruination of it all. I'm going forward with determination, focus, kindness, and love.31 -
I have NOT let any current stressful situations derail my health goal. Rather than eat my way through the left-over Halloween candy, I brought it to work to let other people enjoy it.19
