What's Your Most Recent NSV

@Viridien1539 I am genetically lucky. My parents were BOTH extraordinary youthful looking and my four siblings are also the same. But I really do feel like Blake Livelys character LOL 😆. She's married to "local boy" Ryan Reynolds who is from my city and I have heard the reason Vancouver women look so youthful is all the rain we get 🤣. I'm sure that's part of it! I don't do anything special at all beyond basic skin care, water, nutrition. Im very motivated to keep my weight off because I do look even younger with prominent cheekbones and larger eyes. The rewards for staying the course and focusing on the positive outcome far outweigh the temporary boost of skipping a walk or eating a treat. 😇

My dress pants are starting to get a little loose, so this weekend I went through my tote under my bed where I thought my old ones were. Apparently in a doom and gloom moment that I am never going to loose the weight, I gave them all away, as I only found one pair. Oops.

Today to work I am wearing a pair of dress pants and blouse that I haven't word in almost 2 years, and the last time I wore them they were to tight. They aren't tight! 👏👏👏

My NSV during today’s cold snap (cool enough I get an opportunity to wear this!):

I wanted to share a photo of a gorgeous handwoven jacket I bought during my travels last month. 

Fat Me would never have dreamed of deserving, much less being able to wear (assuming any even fit) something like this. I would have been embarrassed. “Do you have any larger sizes? No, larger than that?” I would have looked longingly and just left.

I am so happy to be able to look at something I love and actually have a choice.

Color makes me VERY happy. I like color so bright you can almost taste it, so this suits me right down to the ground.

had an NSV today…

It’s my mom’s 87th birthday and I took her out to lunch. She wanted to go to Outback for coconut shrimp. I got a small grilled chicken breast and a sweet potato with nothing on it ! Would’ve loved some coconut shrimp, but wayyy too many calories. Also resisted the bread, and the bday dessert that mom offered to share with me.
I’m so proud of myself for having a responsible lunch despite the temptation!

I used the scales at my gym today and my body age is under my actual age now.

I got my blood sugars tested today and am officially in the healthy range after being careful for six weeks. Even though I cheated a few times. Doctor told me they don’t have to be any lower.

You might consider a spacer to keep it on if you're planning to lose more weight. I think there's a limited number of times that jewelers recommend having rings re-sized.

Today I was quickly grabbing clothes, and I grabbed a sweater not realizing it was my partner's. My partner has been much smaller than me for many years and I generally don't fit in their clothes but today I put it on and it fit perfectly!! I had to ask to confirm it was theirs because I was so in shock

I fit in jeans again for the first time in 2 years! I've only worn yoga pants or elastic waist capris all that time.

after six months of low carb dieting I finally tested with a normal blood sugar this morning!!!!

From an A1C of 10.4 and blood sugar readings as high at 300 now finally back to normal. And all without drugs. I still have three pounds to lose to be at (the high end) of normal weight and normal BMI but THIS reading was what I really was working for!!!😀😅🙏
