What's Your Most Recent NSV

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.

I've switched from doing modified pushups/exercises to regular pushups/exercises! 😁💪🏽

That's awesome! I wish I could do real ones.

My NSV is that I did a half-hour of Zumba today without feeling like I was going to fall over.

Doing a 3 week progress picture; seeing the changes in my face and stomach.

So this is a NSV and an unexpected problem’

‘Problem’: I went to buy some knee high boots and found that my calves are so small now that the boots don’t even touch my legs at all so there’s a huge gap.

NSV: My DH said that it looked fine but I went to ask the sales lady’s opinion and she said ‘They look good from the side but looking straight on they gap because you have skinny legs’. She couldn’t see the smile on my face when she said that because of my mask but no one have ever said that I had skinny anything before in my life. 😷😎😀🤗

@Kaitie9399 Maybe wear skinny jeans and have your boots go over them?

BOOM!

so the other day I'm swimming in the pool like I do every day, and this tall and lanky gentlemen is swimming next to me, and I swear he was built to be a swimmer, great breasts stroke, smooth, fast, well after the swim he runs into me in the locker room and asks me about my water proof clock/timer, then goes, "YOU'RE A GREAT SWIMMER.... FAST!!!"

I melted, I know I'm not 28 any more but I used to swim on a team way back when and that just made my head swell up as I sucked in my gut even more!!!
