What's Your Most Recent NSV

The last 3 weeks I have been off the wagon. I just stopped caring about eating right and reaching my goals. I was in a real head funk. Then a couple of weeks ago I injured my back and it’s still not at 100% (though definitely much better!) I think the back injury just added to my previous week of not caring and I let it blow out another couple of weeks….
I’m finally on the other side of it. I was mindful of what I ate yesterday. Even bought chocolate biscuits to have as treats (I find I am able to stop myself with one or 2 of these unlike other treat foods that I just seem to gorge myself on) and although I had calories left at the end of the night to have a couple I decided that I didn’t really want them!
I am looking forward to my back getting better to get back into my jogging, (who is this person?!?! I never thought I would be the person who was itching to get back to jogging- a nsv of its own right there) I was starting to set a good pace with a few new pb’s reached along the way. I’m also missing riding my horse like crazy! I have done barely any exercise (the odd walk) since hurting my back, but I plan to start up with walking again in the morning (I’m not a big fan of walking, but I need to do something and it’s one of the few things I can do that won’t aggravate my back, in fact my doctor recommended walking)

My NSV was that I took a picture without my shirt on and realized that my stomach is actually pretty flat. Like, it still looks soft and squishy, but after 50 lbs lost, it isn't rounded out. Also, I no longer have that weird 'overhang' between my chest and stomach where the skin squishes together--my sides are pretty shaped and smooth now.

NSV.. Scale is not moving but leaning out a little...

Went to visit the kids in San Diego earlier this week. Haven’t seen SIL in a couple years. Was a bit bored so wandered out into the garage, where he had some weights and a chin up rack.

He’s so tall I couldn’t even get up in the chin up thing, so was doing this thing where I was like standing in it backwards and doing standing lift ups from bent arms to straight. Then I idly started doing leg lifts til I was in an L shape while pushed up on straight arms. It was fun and I was experimenting with how slow I could do it to make it harder.

Suddenly heard this voice behind me: “Damn, Mel, I can’t do that” and realized SIL had walked in on me playing with his toys. Boy, was he surprised.

Able to do 20 minutes of step aerobics today.

56#
2 jeans size down
4.5 to 6 inches in every measurement area
Unreal how much better I feel.
Only 20 more pounds to go.

So last week we had FOUR Christmas parties I had to attend/help host at work. (I work in a nursing home, and we do a Christmas party on each unit.) My NSV is that I didn't stuff myself on the leftover cookies we were allowed to enjoy once the residents had had their share. I only had one or two per party

I went to see the new Spiderman movie and didn't touch any popcorn or soda!

I had to buy new jeggings for a funeral in June/July this year, I had no idea what size I was so I got an 18 and an optimistic 16. I couldn't get the 16s up over my legs so wore the 18s which were snug.

It's Christmas Jumper/own clothes week in work this week, I was going to wear my exercise leggings since they have a pocket (much needed in my job!) but my jumper isn't long so you'd see... everything! I tried on those 18s jeggings, too big! Tried the 16s, a little dance needed to get over the hips but they fit! Couldn't tell you the last time I wore a 16 bottom that wasn't PJs or elasticated leggings!
