What's Your Most Recent NSV

I can now actually sit on the floor to do yoga and get up without the aid of the chair or sofa or someone.

I was so sore from teaching pump on Monday i was going to take the day off but actually had a killer upper body session! lower tomorrow.

I am wearing a pair of size 8 jeans.

Stretchy and big for an 8 because women's sizing is ridiculous, but an 8.

I had this NSV recently too. They were Old Navy size 8’s so I don’t know if it counts because they had stretch but I stood there in the dressing room crying because it was my first time in a single digit size. I was too big for stuff at Lane Bryant at one point. Anyway, I know how huge of an NSV the size 8 jeans are and just wanted to say I’m happy for you! Congratulations! ❤️

I don't hate looking at myself in the mirror as much as I used to

My underwear fits better.

I jeans are no longer snug around the middle

My husband had to point this out to me, because I didn't quite notice, but since losing weight? I have stopped being timid. NOTHING scares me anymore and it's wild.

I have a few from this week:

1.) The other day from my perch on a 2nd floor treadmill, I realized that I don't look out of place at the gym anymore. I'm not the most fit by a long shot, but I don't look out of place. Nor do I feel awkward and insecure there anymore. On the contrary, I love going, and these folks are quickly becoming "my tribe." When the gas shortage hit this week, my first thought was, "I've got to save enough to go to the gym." Turns out there was a full parking lot when I arrived because everyone else there had the same thought!

2.) My favorite jeans are now officially too big. I had to roll the waistband down to sit comfortably at prayer meeting, and I could put both my arms down the back.

3.) My husband remarked that I feel smaller and harder when he hugs me. I've noticed there are a lot more hugs, too!

4.) I'm finally starting to look smaller to MYSELF, so I'm not relying on external validation as much. Like, I notice muscle contours appearing in my legs and torso and back. And everything just looks SMALLER now. It's weird. I didn't notice much of anything until this week. Now I keep staring at myself in fascination.

Today I was able to make it through a tough 30-minute circuit training workout that I couldn’t get through 6 weeks ago because I was so out of shape. Oh, and did I mention that I did 45 minutes of walking before the circuit workout?

My resting heart rate, like Nakila TDRakes, is now 62. Used to be about 72.
