Crossed over a few "speedbumps" this past week!

  • Popular Post

I know it sounds silly, but I felt the need to post this. I don't even know if "speedbumps" is an accurate phrase, hence the quotation marks.

1. Last week at my son's back to school night, I sat in a high school desk.... without having to squeeze in, or even having my belly rub against the desk. I was actually quite comfortable.

2. I went to the county fair on Sunday and went right through the turnstile. No need to go through thw stroller gate. No need to get on my tippy toes so my behind could go over it. No need to suck it in so I could squeeze through. It was like finally beating my nemesis.

3. This morning I cross my arms and realized they were crossed over my mid section! Usuallu, when I cross my arms, they sit on top of my boobs, but now they are under my boobs. I don't know how long I've able to do that!

@@cantseemytoes Congratulations!! How wonderful! We call them "NSV" Non-scale victories but you can call them whatever you want, they're yours!

That is wonderful!! Just reading all of your NSV's brought a sense of happiness to my heart, as I know what it feels like to not be able to do all of those things! I couldn't hardly fit in the high school desks when I was in high school! I haven't had the sleeve yet but I love reading all of these wonderful NSV's! Congrats girl!!!
