    A skirt I have not worn in a while is larger in the waist on me now, so it keeps spinning around when I walk. Annoying, yes - but I will take it :)

    I paid for a gym membership today. I've been sneaking in for free....finally broke down and now I'm "legit".

    Yesterday I added 5 pounds to my bench press routine. My arms are by far the weakest part of my body, and when I first started lifting, the bar alone was very difficult for me. After 2 months, I've finally taken the leap of adding weight. It was hard, but I made it through all of my reps.

    I finally ran a 5k distance non-stop! i've been slowly building back up since knee surgery in November and this was my longest (non-stop) run to date. Plus I managed negative splits each mile.

    ran my first 5K this weekend after completing the Couch to 5K program - did it in 36:22
    plucked up the courage to go to the free weights section to do lunges with dumbbells this morning.
    Wearing more dresses and skirts and less jean/trousers (haven't done THAT in a while)
    Having to go to a tighter notch on my belt!
    Cholesterol has gone down from 205 to 189!!

    Not a major NSV, but gym pants and jeans I bought a few months are too big now. Woot, clothes shopping :)

    Hopping on the treadmill after 4 month of not running and knock it of for 30 minutes intervalls. I am soooo proud of my body and especially on my (post-surgery) knee for being able to do this just like that.
    Looks like I am getting fitter every day and I loooove it :)

    Did not skip my morning 30 minute workout even though I woke up late...cost me 30 minutes of vacation time and I couldn't be happier :)

    I FINALLY fit into a pair of size 10s!! I tried them on to see how far away I am from my goal (which, up until yesterday, was a size 10) and WOW!! They slipped right up! I did a snoopy dance in the dressing room and almost cried. I've also found out this week that I've gone from a 42DD to a 36DDD. Not sure how that works, but I am so happy. Went from a VERY tight 14 to a size 10! 1200 calories a day, working out 20-60 minutes a day on an elliptical, not eating back exercise calories.

    This is a very pathetic NSV for some but pretty huge for me ... I was on the elliptical machine for 10 minutes AND I didn't die. :)

    Today, my NSV is waking up at 5:15am very nauseas and still going to the gym. I may not have pushed myself 100% but as they say "The only workout you regret is the one you didn't do" !

    This! I had a day like that a month or so ago.... wasnt my best workout. but I love your quote.... gonna save it.

    I can so relate! I just got a used elliptical and it's all set up but am afraid I won't last 5 minutes even though I'm currently doing 45-60 minutes on treadmill daily.

    My NSV today actually has nothing to do with my own weight/fitness journey, but I still count it as a victory anyhow.

    When I was out for my usual 2 mile walk last evening, one of my neighbors stopped me and asked if I'd like company on the walk, and I said sure! It was the first time in ages she'd been out walking. When I went out for my morning walk today I saw her husband out, and asked how she was feeling and if I'd tired her out. He said she was fine and that she was so happy with the walk last night and so inspired by it that she talked another neighbor into going walking that morning! About halfway through my morning walk, I heard a front door slam and a woman came running out of her house to talk to me. She said she watches me go by her house all the time, and I've inspired her and one of her neighbors to go walking, too! She said "you always look so happy when you go by, and now it's time for me to feel happy and healthy again, too"! So in doing something positive and healthy for myself, I've inspired others to do the same for themselves, and that sure sounds like a victory to me!


    I say this counts and you've got to be smiling all day from this!

    I did a plank for an entire minute!! No much for most, but AWESOME for a girl who 6 months ago couldn't hold one for longer than 10 seconds!! :happy:

    I already posted about mine in a separate thread, but I free lifted bicep curls last night for the first time.

    I have been too timid/foolish/insecure to do much free lifting and usually stick to the machines, but I plan to add one dumbbell exercise to replace a machine lift each time I go. I now do tricep extensions and bicep curls with free weights, and I moved up past the "girl" weights into the real dumbbells for the first time. ;)

    Non-Scale Victory.

    Today I decided would be comfy pant Tuesday.

    I even tried to roll the waistband down and they still kept falling down. Talk about a good kind of annoyance.

    I switched to a pair of jeans.

    My NSV totally has NOTHING to do with weight loss or diet or exercise for that matter! However, i have worked very hard for this goal!! I get to go pick up my brand new 2012 Camaro SS right after work today! Super excited!! I've been dreaming of this car for 4 years now!! I definitely have ants in my pants right now!

    AAAHHH! That's awesome. I'm the same way. I love collar bones. :laugh:

    And here I thought I was the only one with a collar bone fixation! :love:

    My nsv today was measurements: I've lost an inch off my hips and 1.75 inches off my waist. I was super thrilled with that!!

    Getting a generic polo shirt from work that I have to wear at an event on sunday and fitting into an M. Seriously! I think I nearly cried with happiness.

    Stopped shying away from the free weights at the gym and gave lunges a go. Okay, I have since come home and checked on Youtube how to actually do them properly but this will become a new part of my routine for sure!! I'm an idiot for thinking the free weight area in front of the huge mirrors were reserved only for the super fit and toned- I have just as much right to be there too!!

    I have to add today's (too bad didn't happen for yesterday's post): Co-workers kept asking me if I am loosing weight! Loving myself and my accomplishments = motivation. :smooched:

    Since my face is much thinner, the smile lines on my cheeks (almost like dimples but not really) are defined and pretty instead of being lost in chubby cheeks.

    mine is that my legs hurt so bad today. doesnt sound like a NSV but its from a hard workout yesterday so I consider it a victory.

    This is probably a funny one, but yesterday while riding in the car I noticed that the roll of fat under my boobs that I used to have when I'd sit down is barely even there anymore. I was so excited when I noticed it, but was too embarrassed to say anything to my hubby. haha
