What's Your Most Recent NSV

I've been doing plyo exercises with my youth soccer team and have been able to do more that just demonstrate the exercises. I've actually been able to lead them in the routines.

I tried on my size 10 jeans yesterday. They were tight, but they did zip and button up! Looking forward to making them loose!

Finally, for the first time in my adult life I'm in my healthy BMI range 🙌 been calorie counting, weight training and getting 10,000 steps in a day for almost a year now and I'm just taking a maintenance break before I set myself a new lower goal.

I had 3 pieces of pizza instead of the whole thing.

One day last week I took my car downtown to run some errands. I would have just walked into town, but one errand needed the vehicle. After that, I parked at one end of town and did the rest on foot.

Last stop was the post office. I picked up my mail and started walking back to where I had parked in the three-hour parking area. I heard a car horn honk. Scared the excrement out of me.... It was a fellow I know who wanted to say hi. I saw him later at happy hour. I told him he'd scared me and that next time just roll down the window or open the door and say hi. He still doesn't get it, but that's just how he is.

The NSV is this: he then asked, "Where were you walking to so fast?" I told him I wasn't walking fast; I was just walking. I told him that's just my pace, and I was walking back to my car from the post office.

Just walking. ZOOOOM!

Got some endorphins today! Have been on a sad downward spiral of a nagging injury, depression, and overeating for 2 years. Was finally able to exercise today at an intensity to bring on that feeling of positivity and like your eyes are letting more light in and everything seems brighter. I have missed the feeling!

I finally got “the” NSV.

New lady joined our cardio class. Haven’t seen her since before weight loss. Said hello and she was puzzled. Told her where we knew each other from and her jaw literally dropped. It was a few seconds before she could even get the words out.

“OMG! I thought that was you! You’ve lost some serious weight!”

I zipped up one of my dresses. One down, two to go!

I think you mean "one up, two to go!"

Congrats!

The other two should fit, I think they are the same size. They are the same style, just different patterns.

I was brushing my hair wearing a vest top and noticed I could see my collarbone…welcome back!

It’s a small nsv but, while sitting in the passenger seat of my car, I can reach into the glove compartment with my seatbelt on. I couldn’t before.

I had some family in town. In the past, all of those shared meals and treats always sent me into a tailspin of cravings and overeating. This time I simply did not participate in any of the eating, and continued with my regular meal plan. I did non-food stuff with everyone, including a visit to the pool, sitting around chatting, helping with cooking, and board games. And now that they have all left, I'm happy and slimmer, instead of bloated and full of cravings and regrets like I used to be after family visits.

Also today I swam for 20 minutes straight, which is the longest I've ever gone. Felt awesome and people even commented that I looked comfortable doing it

Baked some cookies yesterday “for the kids” haha. Had 3 throughout the day and noticed a definite difference of feeling hungrier/less satisfied than on the days when I am prioritizing protein as I have been. Feeling motivated to continue minimizing straight up sugary snacks not because I can’t have them but because the quality nutrients just aren’t there. Before getting into trying to achieve a protein goal for the day I probably would’ve had 5-6 cookies throughout the day.

I’ve been absent for a while and I can’t remember if I’ve already added some of these in or not so sorry if you’re reading this from me for the second time 😂. I guess the major NSV was leaving a very toxic, emotionally & mentally abusive relationship at the end of November. I fell off the wagon big time afterwards as I turned my attention more to healing my emotional and mental wounds that I acquired during the 3 years I was with him. I turned my life around completely. Finally took a job that I love doing and that’s in the line of what I’ve always wanted to do but the relationships I was in never supported the work I wanted to do (I wanted to work with horses and cattle which would have meant living away from home during the work swing and the 2 partners that I had over the years (separately- not at the same time!) would not have dealt well with me being away from them. I’ve found a happy medium though where I get to live in town but still get to work with horses and cattle everyday.
I had a 3 month relationship recently with an amazing guy who helped me realise I had a lot of inner work still to go. Unfortunately, we were both of insecure attachment styles (myself being anxiously attached and him being avoidant- these attachment styles barely work out without a lot of work from both parties, I am currently working on becoming more secure in myself and my attachment style so that next time an amazing man comes into my life I don’t torture myself and him with my insecurities)

I joined a gym. I had a lot of anxiety about going and I was actually a member of it for 6 weeks before finally forcing myself out of my comfort zone and going to a class. It has been up & up since then, I go to the gym most days, the days I don’t go I either go for a gentle stroll or take myself on a 5K jog (another NSV is getting back to my jogging- I have missed it)

I bought some shirts online. I got medium (AU10) and smalls (AU8). I’m currently about a M/L (10/12) so I got the smalls as a goal to fit into. When they arrived I looked at them and thought they looked like a big make. I tried the non-stretch ones on (as I didn’t want to stretch out the stretchy ones) and they all fit and look great. One of the mediums is actually too big, I’m hoping I can get it altered because I really like it.

I’m catching up with an old friend tomorrow that I haven’t seen for 5 and a half years. We were originally going to catch up for drinks but I asked if he would like to join me for a hike at the local mountains instead, he agreed. He sent a snap the other day after seeing one of me at the gym that simply said “You’re gunna kill me on our hike” I was probably close to my heaviest when I last saw him, so I’m down close to 30Kg (66 pounds). He’s seen photos of me and has told me I’ve done amazing, but I still look forward to seeing the look on his face when he sees me in person.
