What's Your Most Recent NSV

My NSV is that I’m back on MFP after 4 years. I desperately need to take better care of myself and lose about 75 lbs. it’s on my mind every day. All day. And that mean voice in my head has been telling me I’ll never be able to do it.
Well, I decided to try to ignore that mean voice, and replace it with self-encouragement. I signed back on to MFP this week, and so far have had 3 honest-to-goodness great MFP days!
I’m enjoying reading all these posts… it’s a great motivator as I begin this journey!

Going up the stairs at home without getting winded. 🥰

This week I cycled my commute three days out of 5. That’s 120km on the bike in glorious sunshine. Making it more wonderful, I’ve managed to do it without going carb-crazy and eating the house empty. Happy happy happy.

After hitting 395 lbs for a single, I then hit 355 lbs for two sets of 5, a rep PR! I love a good deadlift session! My preferred form of therapy!

I would need a hydraulic jack to lift that! Very impressive!

I got at least 5,000 steps every day this week and also I tracked my eating everyday.

Haven't bought snacks in like two weeks

If you have a chance to join a "Steps Challenge" in your team, I. highly encourage you to do so. I have nerve damage in my left leg and need to use a walker to get around. I made a goal of 2,000 steps per day because of the "Steps Challenge" on our Koala 5% Team. I haven't always reached it, but for the first time, I actually pay attention to how many steps I take. It keeps walking on my mind instead of sitting around feeling sorry for myself!

My nsv is that I’m in size 12 Aus clothes now.

OH noticed yesterday that I looked “slimmer” He has a reputation of not noticing anything - including when I had pink bangs put in my hair 🤣

When I first started using my fitness tracker in Feb '22 I had about 131K steps for the month. Last month, May '23, I had 295K steps for the month. My measured exercise time has more than doubled, from 27 hours to 59 hours.

I started buying ladies size medium/10 a couple months ago but they were still a little snug. Now the tops are fitting perfectly and the bottoms are getting a little loose.

Me jeans are getting a little loose! Third time so far that I've gone through the "jeans getting too loose" ordeal. Feels good and bad each time - Good because woah, progress! Bad because baggy jeans look REALLY bad on me, and it's so expensive to buy new pairs, too.

Luckily, I've found a hack this time - I can just wear leggings in the meantime! Leggings work wonders for me Leggings are tight enough in the beginning that they don't need to be replaced nearly as frequently as jeans do. I can comfortable lose at least 55 pounds before my leggings start getting too big.

Going both on the treadmill and for a walk outside today

The VO2 max feature on my Garmin is reading my fitness age as 12 years younger than I am. This is so wonderful and incredible to me because I had Long Covid and just six months ago, my fitness age was reading 5 years older than I am. One of my non-scale goals is to reduce my fitness age as much as possible.

This morning after my shower, I actually noticed that my stomach is a little bit smaller and I'm able to see my feet rather than my stomach! This has been a long time coming. Trying to stay motivated as this past week has been very difficult for me with stress (stress eating 😰). Reading everyone's NSF has been very motivating and I will continue to follow along my journey!
