What's Your Most Recent NSV

Yesterday I sat crosslegged for the first time since high school. I also learnt that I need to work on strength and flexibility in my knees, as they were stiff afterwards.

I put on one of my pretty new blouses that had been tight before, and it lays nicely over my bust, and isn't tight over my belly any more! Not quite the loose fit that would look perfect, but definitely on the way there!

Having reached a similar body weight again, I thought it would be fun to try on the cream wool floor-length kilt I wore at my wedding, when I was 22. We're both kinda wrinkly, could use some pressing, but it seems like it fits reasonably well again . . . not that I have a reason to wear such a thing! (I'm 65.)

I bought a V neck shirt for the first time, never wore one before

Riding again. Yeah, trail ride but I no longer worry about the poor horse or not having the fitness level to get on, off and actually RIDE instead of just sitting there. I get the fun horses now!:P

Aired up all four tires on my car today and had so much easier a time. It helped that the compressor was in good working order but also it was so much easier to bend, stoop and crouch to get just the right angle for the air hose. I no longer have to worry about overheating when walking around outside either, even in an Arizona summer.

This morning I put on a pair of size 32W jeans I haven't worn since some time before fall of 1995 (when I wore a 34W but kept going up from there, all the way to a 44W)- and now, in 2021, they're LOOSE!

Also, I've been working outdoors daily for the past 5 days or so -- totally unexpected, I'm surprising my neighbors, that's for sure! I haven't worked outdoors for YEARS, and the amount of work I'm having to do now, just edging my lawn, speaks to that - 3 days so far, and maybe a 4th tomorrow (and my lot is only 0.17 acre). There are a lot of places where the weeds have overgrown the curb, so I'm having to cut through those and that is where a lot of the time is coming from. Also, I have had to start early in the day and stop by 9 or so because by then it's getting too hot outside, so no, I'm not talking about three 8-hour days, more like 1-2 hour days, except today I can work until my back or joints stop me. Sorry, I know this is TMI, but I am so excited by these developments!

Getting the results of my blood testing from my doctor. Every single result was within the healthy range, except for Iron and Bilirubin which were slightly low. I will add more greens and pulses to my healthy diet to ensure I am getting enough iron. For years I struggled with high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels and now things are so much better. From my "I have to do something because I am slowly killing myself" weight of 203 pounds to 143.2 pounds today. It has taken years to learn to eat well and so happy to see the results, not only in my body but also in my overall health.

I wore a shirt yesterday that I haven’t been able to wear since 2016. And I have to say - it fits me better now than it did then!

Received some lovely, belated birthday presents from a family member yesterday - including my favourite wrapped chocolate! I'd usually have eaten them all in one go to get them 'out of the way', but I logged just one and enjoyed it with my nightly hot chocolate. It's the following morning and I'm so relieved that I managed!

wearing capris I bought new 3 years ago that I could never wear (huge bargain!) but I kept them. Look cute too, if I do say so myself!!

@saramelie77 . I did that today too. Slutty red!

This is my favorite place to read in the mornings when I have time. Everyone's victories are truly inspirational.

It only took a loss of 18 lbs but current clothes are finally starting to get loose and other clothes starting to fit that were too snug to wear out in public lol. I can finally wear some cute workout clothes!
