    I went for a bike ride with my boyfriend...usually I'm dying half-way thru and can't make it up the hills. But yesterday, I made it up the hills without stopping or feeling like I was going to pass out, haha. Yay!

    I don't have anything major. Just that I haven't eaten anything horribly bad and still within calories.

    My NSV is that I bought a pair of size 28 Miss Me jeans 3 days ago on a trip to Buckle and today they are already very loose after a couple of hours of wear. I'm getting very close to a huge goal of mine to get back into a size 27 jean.
    European sizing? :-)

    That's my guess, because they are tiny, tiny, tiny! (well, to me anyways!)

    Today I did 25 pullups and 75 pushups. When I started I couldn't do ONE pullup. Never thought I had it in me.

    My belt is no longer snug enough to hold up my too-large pants.

    I know it's only a very small issue... but my co-worker told me today, that I look good and that my new weight makes me attractive :laugh: :blushing: :blushing:

    Its the start of a victory! I joined the gym today! The heat makes it unbearable to do my walks, so I'm going to hit the gym, and take advantage of their pool and other classes!

    Getting up way earlier than usual (not a morning person and also get to work from home LOL) to head to the gym for an intense bootcamp class, return home to get my daughter to preschool, working from the kitchen island STANDING for 8 hours instead of sitting and eating smaller meals all day in preparation for a trip to the movies. I won't give up the small movie popcorn with butter but can make mini changes to my entire day in order to eat it tonight wihtout guilt. Victory :wink:

    I have 2, actually. A dress I bought for my cruise next year that I thought would be too small now, actually fits me. It's tight but, if fits. It's an NSV because I bought it in a size 1 size smaller than I currently wear.
    My other is, I went bike riding today and my knees didn't scream at me after. In fact, a couple of hours later, I went for a good walk!

    9.04 miles in 76 minutes, 20 seconds. I hadn't been that fast since 2010 BiLo/Dasani Marathon in Myrtle Beach (the one that got cancelled due to snow, but I ran anyway.). It was 63 degrees this morning. I guess I got excited.

    Totally passing up the almond snicker bar that I love and realizing as I did, it wasn't hard. :happy:

    I have been on medications for high blood pressure and high cholesterol for many years. However, thanks to the low carb diet I have been doing my blood work came back normal for the first time in years, and I have been off the medications for months :)

    I am so impressed with all of you! So many of these I would not have thought to be my NSVs, but I am totally stealing your ideas and owning them :) Good for us! I put on my bra this morning to walk and it was loose so I put it on the third row of hooks and it was still too loose, so I got into my stash of old new bras and they fit just right! Goodbye to 38DD and hello to 36DD. Now a goal is to get to my favorite....34DD! Back fat is melting off and old bras are going in the garbage :)

    I was feeling the itch to exercise, but I am at work. Instead of waiting until I got home, I decided to walk up some stairs in my big office building. I ended up doing 14 flights today! This is a lot for me as I am usually winded after 3. Next week I am going to try for 16, then 18, and so on...

    I'm really sore today from a week of working out hard and strength/toning yesterday (yeah!!!). I was walking (okay hobbling) with my hands on my waist/back area where I'm sore and I felt my muscles with every step. Yep, there are muscles under there and they were talking to me today.

    And I realized that I really like being 30 pounds lighter and although I still have 28 more to go, I have made great progress. I'm healthier, happier and look and feel better. Yep, it was a good day. And it was a much needed rest day!!
