What's Your Most Recent NSV

I shared this on my wall, and in another group. One of my MFP friends reminded me that it was an NSV.😊

Yesterday (Thursday), I almost forgot to get my pick-up order from the grocery store. I was already home, so I really wanted to change into sweats before heading out again. Anyway, I decided to keep my nice clothes on. My truck was still warm, so I didn't wear a jacket. It was snowing out, but not cold. I'm in the store and all of a sudden, I hear, "Lee?"
I turn around and see someone I knew, I knew but couldn't place... She said, "It's Sarah." I realized in that instant it was my Junior High School dance teacher. Yes, JH...😳 She just stared, then said "you haven't changed at all." "Are you still an athlete?" I could tell she was doing the math to guess my age... Anyway, I was gracious enough to say, "no, I workout a lot, and eat reasonably well."

In JH I took modern dance, was a sprinter, did the long jump, and high jump. I neglected to tell her that over the past year I've lost 50 lbs. and am continuing to get into better and better shape... She of course looked as tall and lithe as she ever had. I did tell her that. It absolutely made my day!! Trust me, I'm a few Klicks past JH!!😆🤣🤣

Using my Nordic Track I was able to do two walking tours of Romania that included sustained 10% elevation. It was hard, but I completed both.

I was doing my workout at Orange Theory today and we were doing lunges. I used to struggle to stay balanced and have to take extra steps. Not today!! I'm so much steadier on my feet doing everything.

Very happy with my October miles. First time this year I reached 100 in one month. Two 5K events (in person this time!), the rest all walks with dog. Happy dog too.

When I flipped my calendar page today, I saw that I have maintained perfectly for one month. Yay! I guess that's kind of a scale victory, but the NSV is that I now have evidence that I'm successfully figuring out how to maintain. Even with a trip to my mom's and some major stressors in the mix. I can do this!

I've maintained my weight for a whole month, despite lack of tracking or exercise

My aim is to pick back up and lose more this month!

Realized I completed Sober October without even thinking about it.

I'm in the "re-learning how to sit comfortably" phase of my weight loss. Lost a bit of my cushion, and now I keep adjusting how I'm sitting.

I shaved 46 seconds off my 5k PB this morning!!! I was panting hard the whole way, but I didn’t feel like I was going to die! I’m just a little (like a lot) proud of myself today 😁

My birthday is on Halloween, and I mentioned to my partner that I'd really like to be able to have a piece of birthday cake on my birthday. I told him I was worried that if we made or bought an actual birthday cake, though, I'd eat more of it that I wanted to (because I have that "don't waste food" voice in my head). I thought he'd just buy me a slice of cake or something, but instead he managed to find the world's cutest little birthday cake (in the shape of a little pumpkin). So my NSV is that I had my cake and managed to eat it too! Even better, I also didn't go over my calories! Woot!

If anyone is in need of a little cake - and is located near the Massachusetts/Rhode Island border - the cake came from Wright's Dairy Farm and Bakery. You can see a picture of it here (and they also do other small cakes if you don't want one in the shape of a pumpkin): https://flickr.com/photos/154564533@N04/44409365901/in/album-72157697948630161/

My birthday is also on Halloween. Happy birthday to us! I love the pumpkin cake. I live in CT it might be worth the drive to get one next year!

My resting heart rate is down from 62 average in August to 55 BPM today!

I didn't let family drama sabotage my goals.

Played nearly 90 minutes of soccer yesterday and yet I can walk today. I was actually effective on the pitch as well.

Previously my pilates DVD was an actual workout for me. Today it was an off day stretch I didn’t even sweat through! It feels SO good to be more fit.

Although doing roll ups on a tail bone with no padding hurts more than it used to.

I didn’t get much sleep last night so when my alarm went off this morning I moved it forward an hour and decided to postpone my ride until this afternoon. When the alarm went off again, I decided that I would do my jog tonight after my ride. I laid there for a while and convinced myself to just get up and go for my jog, the extra sleep I would get would not really make a difference but if I got up and went for my jog I would feel much better. So off I toddled for my 5k. I settled into a nice easy pace and still manage to get it done in 40 minutes and 58 seconds.
