My NSV is turning down cake at a going away party because I had already had a treat at Starbucks earlier! Now that I'm tracking my food, I knew I couldn't meet my daily calorie or sugar goals if I had both. Two weeks ago, I wouldn't have thought twice. Yay!25

I went swimming today and actually liked how I looked in my swimsuit! It’s a size 12 and I still have a way to go but pleasantly surprised that I felt good.
Also I had one square of a chocolate bar and put the rest back in the cupboard.20 -
I put on my running leggings this morning and had to pull the drawstring- that’s a new one 😊
I struggled at the beginning of my jog, but stuck In there and finished strong. Next week is the last week of couch to 5k 👌🏾21 -
Yesterday, I sorted through my underwear drawer as my knickers had started to creep down my bottom. Luckily I had got a new pack, as when I sorted I had to get rid of every pair bar two, as they were all miles too big. I had to order more, smaller ones, from Amazon. The drawer looks very empty but it makes me smile. Got rid of 3 tops too. Feels good.22

I'm 3 sizes smaller than what Amazon recommends based on previous purchases! 😅29

This morning I put on my Summer yoga pants from last year, and they look like pajama bottoms. They stay on, but only barely. Hard to believe they fit tight a year ago. I'm still not used to being this small around.
@JenKindo I love your Amazon comment...I was wishing there was a way to reset my sizes, but now I'll look at it as an NSV instead.17 -
I got rid of all my old knickers too, they were size 20 (I'm sure some might have been 22) but now my new ones are 14! Saves space on the washing airer too!
Yesterday was a nice day and I wanted to wear the hoodie I found when I was sorting out the spare wardrobe (full of clothes I hoped would fit again one day). But it was too big now! So I'm off shopping this morning to get a cheap new one, in a colour other than black!21 -
Thank you all for sharing your NSVs, reading these always makes my day 1000% better!
The week before last week, I took a recovery week after finishing a 60-day routine. Woo hoo! But last week, I got back to it. However! I went really hard: I did the video workouts super intense, ran a 5K, and completed my regular running route without stopping (a huuuge milestone!!).
Yesterday, I crashed. Couldn't get out of bed, everything hurts and I'm dying. Throughout the day, I was reviewing the week and what happened that made me feel like that...and it dawned on me...way too much, way too fast! Like I juiced up my batteries during the recovery week and jettisoned full blast and drained the batteries right away.
So, I laid in my epsom salt bath today and reconfigured my plan for the next weeks. I don't need to accomplish everything. I just need to make healthful and safe choices! So that's my NSV, that I have come to a good point and feel refreshed and energized to be balanced this week27 -

Are you me?
Seriously, this is exactly where I am and what I’ve just figured out. I go too hard and in my case, I get injured. So… it’s not all or nothing. It’s making healthy, safe choices and for me at least, acknowledging my own limitations so I don’t keep getting injured or burnt out.
Very good insight! Thank you for sharing!

Lost 2 inches on my waist line, ran 2 miles outdoors at my slow speed, loving being able to finish. So this was a 2fer NSV day!22

So, I decided to change my running goals from "how quickly can I run 1.5 miles?" to "how long can I jog at a pace slightly faster than 6 mph without taking any breaks to walk?" Right now, the answer is 13 minutes. Even then, I only walked for 1 minute before jogging again. My original goal was to work up to 15 minutes, but being so close, I think I'm going to work up to 20.19

My wedding ring comes on and off MUCH easier, and last week I felt great running a lap with my volleyball girls that I coach.15

Yes! You are welcome It's not all or nothing. I think we need a poster that says that!

I have a substantial "pooch" in my lower belly from carrying two very large babies and having two C-sections. While rubbing some lotion on yesterday I realized that while the sagging skin is still there it seems to have less fat in it. Its floppy which is not what I'd like but I'll take it because its weight loss after all. I'm down 14lbs since February.25

It occurred to me this morning that one of my NSVs is that I'm not really ashamed of my weight anymore. Not because I'm no longer overweight, but because I've stopped feeling like my weight is some sort of ridiculous moral failing or something. My whole life I've felt ashamed any time I had to say how much I weighed. Now I feel like it's just a number. I credit this change to the MFP community and to my boyfriend. The MFP community because everyone has helped me see that dealing with your weight is a normal struggle. My boyfriend because he's been nothing but supportive - and didn't stop loving me suddenly once I told him my actual weight. We've been together for ~30 years, so logically he wasn't going to break up with me over a number, but it was still an illogical fear. Letting go of feeling ashamed is such a relief. It feels like a blessing, and I wish everyone who has ever felt any shame over their weight gets to feel like this too.39

Trying on size 36 jeans and having them fit. Down from 42!23

At my last physical, about 6 weeks ago, my blood pressure was borderline hypertensive. It turns out my home blood pressure cuff was totally wrong (so it wasn't as bad as I thought it was), but I've worked to cut out sodium and lose some weight. I've only lost 10 pounds so far, but my blood pressure today? 116/74 !!21

Went on vacation for a week and ate whatever I wanted (which included some vegetable heavy dishes I never would have tried before). Came home and got right back into my routine of healthy eating and activity!25

Dropped another pant size! Woot!17

I think it is more like "A general effort!" of course, it doesn't really roll off the tongue. Generally do things the right way more than the wrong? Nope still not hitting it.
I was working on my skirts today, making the waistline smaller so they don't fall off and I am now a medium! Also, I felt like they were children's skirts that were too long lols. Whose clothes are these?? I am in the overweight category making me wonder what the heck kinda size am I going to be when I am -30 lbs??? extra small?? I don't understand this at all. I think it is all in the bdonkadonk. All 30 lbs of it!!10
