NSV at the gym
So today I went to the gym, and got on the treadmill to do a run, and I thought to myself, "hmm, I wonder if I can do a mile in 12 mins," so I decided to try it.

Small NSV
So, my favorite thrift store was having a 50% off sale, so I decided to do a little shopping. I decided since it is a sale, and I'm losing weight, I should buy a few clothes to wear for when I get smaller. I ended up buying a size 12 pants thinking I could fit into them soon. I come home, try them on, aaanndd.....THEY FIT!…
