What's Your Most Recent NSV

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!

I had to buy a new autumn/winter jacket because my old one was way too big, made me feel really frumpy. My new jacket is UK size 12. My last coat was a 'Large'. It's amazing how dropping a size or two really makes you feel different - and particularly having properly fitted clothes

I was 10 when I ran a my fastest mile in 8:33. Yesterday I ran it in 8:12. I just turned 46.

I was working out daily for months—since a family member’s cancer diagnosis—up until very recently. Two weeks ago, I had to prepare my youngest offspring for surgery in a city 7 hours away. Even with the pre-op prep, I managed a run of no less than 5k every other day for a week. I spent last week between hospital and hotel room, keeping both offspring as comfortable as I could make them (hospitals during covid cannot allow minors in as visitors—even siblings.) What takeout I ate was healthy; that in itself is an NSV.

The bigger victory for me, though, is that I’ve built up workout time in the 3 days I’ve been back at my parent’s side with offspring. I’m back to 30 minute run, 40+ minute HIIT daily and plan to both build those times and to get up to daily yoga again.

Also, measurements haven’t changed in that half-month break.

So, huzzah! If I can get through the 2020 election, major surgery on a child and devastating parental news and still stay on track, I count it as a victory.
