The only thing I can think of I that I have noticed lately is that finally I don´t breathe noticeably harder going up the stairs. Stair climbing seems to have been one of the last fitness things to come back for me--- even when I regained the ability to swim for an hour, I was still noticing the effort of climbing up just one flight of stairs. I think I had lost a lot of strength in my quads and hamstrings and all the bending of gardening has finally been helping those.

Wow - so many great NSV’s! These were such fun to read, and very inspiring. The only thing that comes to mind for me, is my energy level. I’ve become an energizer bunny, it takes a lot to really wear me out - the more energy I expend, the more that gets created. Didn’t happen overnight, but seems like I can go and go and go some more.
@tahm42 - oh goodness your post makes me smile so much! Especially the “they looked miserable” - good for you!
@TerriRichardson112 - your “daily accomplishments” list is brilliant. I just might do the same
@stella7x7 - 24 inches is AWESOME! Kudos to you!
@jmu1965 - I bet your granddaughter loved loved loved playing tag with her grandma. Good for you!
@jamcnewman - wow, wow, and wow. Your NSV’s are incredible. I especially loved how your neighbors didn’t realize it was you walking the dog!
@enlightenme3 - “ as we were hiking out, my daughter and I were going so fast that my husband thought we had to had to use the bathroom. :-) Nope - we were just fast.” I could not possibly love this more.
@ashleycarole86 - congrats on your metric century! What a fantastic accomplishment!5 -

Was supposed to be my back on track day, but not quite.
Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong D15 and probably could count the 3 loads of laundry I did (laundry in basement, my closet on 3rd floor) as another 5 minutes of exercise. I did not leave the house, and I took a long nap to recover from all the fun the day before so it wasn't the most active day!
Tracking: Planned the day
Calories: Followed the plan for the most part except that I made pancakes for the kids in the morning and ate the batter while I was cooking and then my son wanted 2 pancakes but only ate one so I ate his leftovers too. And then my digestive system was unhappy all day so I think I did cure myself of that. I hope! Because Sunday pancakes is becoming a thing and I'd like to be able to do it without getting myself in trouble.
My NSV is getting back on track after April vacation/indulgence. And then of course undoing all the progress Thurs - Sat with reunion. But I will get back on track again!

Well, there goes my 3rd pass day! And I still have two more events this month.
It was my good friend’s 90th birthday, and we had him over for dinner. I made his favorites. Paella mixto on the grill, and of course, a decadent dessert. The day started fine, until we were outside for an hour, with me tending the grill and Judy pouring the wine. I started dinner with a huge salad to fill us up so we wouldn’t overeat. That worked - sorta. I had a reasonable serving of paella and a small portion of dessert. I sent all the leftovers home with him so I wouldn’t be tempted. It was all as planned.
Except the wine. We all had too much wine. And more wine. That was not in my budget. I’ve noticed that when I drink, my commitment to the plan goes out the window. So after everyone was gone, I started snacking, and snacking, and snacking. I certainly wasn’t hungry; I just wanted “something”. The wine won this round. New day today.
Exercise ✅
Tracking ✅ yup- all of it.

Yes x3
I can't think of a nsv this month. I'll jump on tomz and read all your nsv's. Xo4 -
Daily Check-In Date: Sunday, May 15th
Did I track everything? Yes
Did I stay within my calorie range of 1500 -1611? Yes, 1310
If calories were over for the day, was the difference walked off before bed?
How many miles on Treadmill today? Treadmill Off Day
Treadmill Days are Mon thru Fri and Sat & Sun Off
Active for 20 minutes on Sat & Sun
Progression of weekly 1.5-to-2-pound lost goal:
Did I drink my daily water goal?
Pass Day Count: 3/3
Last Month Pass Day Count: Skipped April so that would be 30
Did Laundry and read most of my Interview Prep book, which I will finish on Monday.
As for the discussion post: My NSV is that this week was the first week I met my treadmill goal of 5 days a week on the treadmill, and I also met my 1.5 to 2 pounds lost goal with a 2.2-pound loss for the week. Since I have been trying to change my mindset from "diet calories" to "maintenance calories" as I lose weight this time, I have noticed that I am usually under my calorie allotment, and I am not hungry all day or thinking of food all day like I was before when I would go on my 1200 a day calorie diets. I think this is the key factor for a permanent change for me. I believe with this mindset change I will be able to adapt successfully to a healthy lifestyle, finally!

I have a couple this month:
1. Yesterday and today, two different neighbours stopped to chat and said they had wondered who was out walking Beauregard, and then realized it was me. 🥸
2. I have been able to stop my morning GERD medication (still taking one before bed). Last month my NSV was stopping my morning blood pressure medication. 😍
3. I realized the other day that I just pulled my jeans down without undoing the button or zipper. Hmmm. Perhaps I need to size down? 😂😂😂 I have no idea what size I am now. Next weekend, we’ll have passed the last days of frost predicted and I’ll be getting the summer clothes out to figure out what I need.
So, quite pleased!
That's so funny about your neighbors. Around here, sometimes we all know the names of the pets walking by but sometimes forget who their people when we see them without their furry friends.
It's simply wonderful that your health markers have improved so much that you can stop taking medication. I can barely remember to take my vitamins (D and B12) that my doctor told me I should take, so getting my blood work to a point where I don't need them would be nice.3 -

@enlightenme3 The two neighbours it happened with are women I know fairly well and have been actively connected with on social media. 😂😂😂 We’ve been so winter and Covid cooped up here, it is hard to recognize anyone (especially outdoors in spring coats and without a mask). Thanks for your message 💛3

I have 2 NSV's related to my recent backpacking trip last weekend. The first was that I needed new hiking pants since all of mine were too large. I asked a sales person for help finding a size 10 and she looked at me and said, "I hope I'm not overstepping, but you look like a size 8." Sure enough, size 8 it was. I haven't worn that size since 8th grade!
The second was as we were hiking out, my daughter and I were going so fast that my husband thought we had to had to use the bathroom. :-) Nope - we were just fast.
As an aside, I weighed myself with my packed backpack on and together we weighed less than just me the first time I went backpacking in October.

Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
Habits to maintain this month:
Kitchen Closed? Yes
Did you go "nuts" with nuts today? No (14 days -free)
Within Sugar macro today? Yes (12 days)
Pass days 1/3 (this is for accountability to myself and my records).
My NSVs are- getting back to my routine successfully after a very stressful April.

- More in control of my sugar macros. Which means I am managing my fruit intake.
- Good combination of Freggies instead of only the sweet freggies
