What's Your Most Recent NSV

mtaratoot · June 2022

I played Ultimate last night. First time in a couple years because the 2020 summer league was cancelled for COVID, and the 2021 league was a "hat league." There were some NSVs for sure.

Our team is pretty small this year. At the start of the game, there were no male subs. It's a co-ed league. I thought, "Hmmm. I'm going to have to play savage (no subs)." I didn't know if I could. Fortunately I didn't have to, but I only sat out one or two points.
Since I'm not working anymore, I can get to the fields on time. I was early enough to have a little time before we did a warm-up. I did something I don't think I've ever done - I ran a lap around the field for no reason other than to move. Go figure.
During the game, I could keep up with MOST of the players I had to defend against from the other team. I could at least keep close by. Except one guy. Boy howdy does he have legs.
I was pleased that after all these years, and taking two years off, that I have a reasonable degree of field-sense. I can see where there's going to be an open spot on the field, and I run to it. The handler sees me go and hucks the disc to that spot. I caught two or three points. I also caught some discs that had gone a little past their intended target (wind was up). I could read the disc and see it wasn't going where they were going, and I ran to where the disc was going. I think I caught three out of four of those. Or maybe, just MAYBE, those were throws to me all along?
This is the most important: I had a hoot of a good time! Lots of fun! Yay!
As it turns out, my team won the game. That's the least important. The other team was a fun team to play. I think we play them two more times this season.
And finally, except for a slightly sore finger (must have made a funny catch) and a little stiffness, I feel pretty good today. Tomorrow is the day I'll be the most sore; I'm hoping it's mild.

We’ve had a mini heatwave over the last few days where I live, and I felt much more comfortable when trying to sleep at night.

I slept in my knickers with the windows ajar, but even then I would’ve been unbearably hot when I was 25lbs heavier. Instead I was cool and comfy, and slept like a baby.

My NSV is that I now know that going on vacation or going home is the real treat. Vacation does not equate to "diet vacation" or "I can eat what I want" --because for me, this is a lifestyle change not a diet.

3 nsvs--> first i was doing home workouts with 5 kgs dumbbell per hand but i was only concentrating on my shoulders and arms and ignoring my back as i didn't feel anything with 5 kgs . Today at the gym i did a back workout by following Caroline girvan's video. I lifted 7.5 kgs for rowing which was challenging enough!
2nd nsv--> i did interval training on the treadmill and i could run quiet effortlessly!! And i also walked on incline of 5 at the speed of 6.6 km/min.

I noticed last night that sitting with my legs crossed is easier than before. I am just a month into this and was bummed that my weight seems to be coming off my legs and arms and not my waistline. But it was nice to see the benefit from it. Guess I needed to lose there too and I didn’t realize it.

I had to work offsite last week in the office of a MAJOR feeder. There were bowls of chocolates along the conference table, 3 dedicated snack tables full of nothing but junk, a soda fridge, and a beer fridge. I touched none of it and stayed on plan all week.

I've been absent for a while, and I gained back about half of the weight I lost while here. NSV is that instead of being discouraged, I knew that I had done it before and therefore can and will do it again - and do even better than last time

Got invited to go swimming while visiting relatives. Did not pack a swimsuit, as the ones I own are too big. Bought a last minute swimsuit- size 12! It was a smidge tight, but it looked good on me. Even got a little bit of a tan.

I realized today that my posture is better. The strengthening exercises are paying off. I have a long way to go but it is nice to start seeing results from my work.

I finally broke down and went clothes shopping to pick up a few things I need to get me through the summer. I was so excited NOT to have to shop in the plus size section!

I hope it's ok to link to the blog I wrote this morning. I didn't even realize it was an NSV until a friend pointed it out. Thanks! If it's not ok to link, let me know and I will copy it here.https://myfitnesspal.com/blog/Ceriusly1/view?id=5-i-almost-lost-my-pants-yay-1007871

I love this! The other day, as I was shopping, I walked right past the plus section(I have been out of there for awhile) and thought, "NEVER MORE!"

My usual elliptical but today I felt good at 18 miles so I continued to 26.25 miles once again. This time my pace was slower so it took me 372 minutes. When I did it before, May 29,2022, it was 337 minutes. About a 14+ minutes/mile compared to sub 13 minutes/mile the earlier time.

I can wear my twin sister's (larger) clothes now. I have always, always been the overweight twin. I'm still overweight, but now I can borrow her clothes instead of the other way around!

I can see my quads in certain positions!!! This muscle is unusually strong in me but there's also a thick layer of fat covering it but when I move my leg in certain positions the fat on the sides of it disappears and I see the outline of my quads. This is so exciting! And I'm taking it as a sign that I'm succeeding at not losing a lot of muscle during this weight loss.

Reviewing some of my fitbit data since January, when I started a mandatory must-walk-three-minutes-a-day challenge (inspired by Atomic Habits). My resting heart rate when down, down, down - but without losing any weight. (The big spike in May was a stressful time at work.)
Almost a month ago I started tracking my food and reducing calories. I'm down only 17lbs, and need to lose 100 more. But my resting heart rate is 62!!! I'm in my 30s, need to lose ~100lbs and my heart rate is only 62?!? I took my blood pressure and it was 106/80 - the lowest it's been in in years. So, I'm pretty happy with this NSV!

A neighbor I haven't seen in a while asked me if I'm losing weight. I had never told him I was trying to. Almost to the 25 pounds lost mark.

Ran into my childhood neighbor while grocery shopping in my hometown. She didn't recognize me until I said hi to her. She's only known chubby me.

Got just a sandwich at Arby's on the way home from camping and it felt like a normal choice -- not stressful or depriving, just normal. I did steal a curly fry from my husband, though!

SisepuedeLinda · June 2022

I walked 10k today and it’s been a really long time since I’ve done that! Haven’t lost much yet but I hope I stay on track!
