List of NSVs

  • Popular Post

I've plateaued for over a month, and instead if feeling down about it, I wanted to share a little about how my life has changed in the past 3 months:

* Went from a 4x to a 2x in tops

* Went from a 26/28 to a 22 in bottoms

* I can fit in chairs with arms

* I can fit in a stadium seat

* I can fit in a movie theater seat

* I can fit in a restaurant booth

* I went roller skating

* I can run after my 4 year old at the park

* I don't sweat profusely anymore

* I can use a backseat seatbelt, and fit in the backseat of a car

* Training for a 5k. What?!!

* I can still breathe when I bend over to tie my shoes

* I put a recent picture of myself on Facebook, lol

I know there are more, but this is a huge difference for me. I used to stay indoors all the time, I would get winded from short walks and my body would hurt so bad with any physical activity. I stayed away from a lot of social activities because of my size. I'm not afraid to try something new now. I know it's super cliche, but I feel like I have my life back. :)

Wow, I love the one about sweating because the ladies at work always joked about me being premenopausal at 36 since I always had a fan on me. Now I'm the one with the heater on when the a/c blowing! LOL

Love the idea to list these victories when we have a bump in the road!!

Keep it up cause I know this list will only grow longer as we walk through this journey!!
