What's Your Most Recent NSV

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 process

I did a full Boat Pose for ten seconds yesterday!

I've been able to pull my jeans down over my hips without unbuttoning them this week!

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.

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.

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.

Genius.
I will record late night excess in that days log, but it’s the stress of seeing the number go up that can make the whole thing worse. I don’t struggle with this hardly at all anymore, but when I do next I will use this tactic. Thank you for sharing!

I make a really healthy "ice cream" I can use as a meal. I mix up a cup of diabetic Slimfast shake powder with nonfat milk as usual. Either chocolate or vanilla flavor is good. Cool it down in fridge, this allows liquid to thicken. When cold, pour it into a bowl and add a cup of cut up strawberries, and put in the freezer until soft-frozen. It is delicious with the strawberries in it, and satisfies my ice cream craving without going over my calorie, fat, or sugar limits.

When i first started walking again, i walked with a cane. Then i walked carrying the cane. Now i think the cane is in a corner somewhere... I'm not sure.

Repurchased warm jeans and jeggings for winter. Last year I had the 16s and wore them through in the crotch, because chub rub. Now not only am I back in 12s comfortably but my thighs barely rub when I walk. I also grabbed the 10s because they were 50%off thinking they will be 'goal pants.'
I was able to get into them already! A few more pounds until they are comfortable to sit down in, but I was surprised to get them on at all. YAY!

I had a similar experience last night. My size 16 pants we're getting so loose that I needed to go by at least one pair that fit better for me in public. I grabbed a pair of 12s and of course you can't try them on currently so I had to take them home and they're a little loose. I'm wishing I'd grabbed a pair of tens for the upcoming weeks. I am quite happy with that outcome. Congratulations to you too.

Finished couch to 5k! Really enjoyed the programme and I'm glad I did it.

Logged my first 10K under 7min/km today.

So far it looks like November might become the first month where my pace is sub 7 on average - that would be a huge milestone!

In July 2019 I bought a tshirt at a concert and it was too tight. I didn’t start my diet until this March. Today I’m wearing that tshirt and it fits exactly the way I want it, slightly loose!
