Non Scale Victories for the week......let's celebrate!



Recommended Posts

Yesterday afternoon I was not only blessed but able to take my nephews prom pics. I am not a photographer by any means, I just have a nice camera.

Last year at this time I would have been sweating so profusely I would have made myself sick. My number one reason for this journey is to be able to participate in my son's senior year coming up, not miss a thing regardless of the weather and I am making that happen.

All the pictures were at different locations outside and I had to wear a jacket. I love outdoor pics.

Here we are, my hair is all Hinky but isn't he handsome? He's a sophomore band and robotics geek dating a senior cheerleader.

That pocket square was a you tube stair step creation after his mom called me panicking.

@@GibbsGirl you both look so happy, congrats on your success, you look fabulous (and your hair is an awesome color!)

My NSV this week was seeing someone I had not seen in a while....she was so surprised by my weight loss, she kept stammering "you look amazing...I mean you look amazing...I mean really, you look really amazing". She sounded so shocked it was funny that she said the same thing at least half a dozen times.

You both look fantastic. Love the weeping willow!

My NSV for the week: starting Monday, for the first time since my surgery on 3/10, I've been able to keep food down, so I've met my Protein and fluids goals this week! And I've gotten reacquainted with a couple sweaters I haven't been able to wear in a couple years, at least.

My NSV.. My husband goes with me to the gym. He does a lot of free weight exercises laying down on a weight bench. The first time I went months ago I had to roll off the side of the bench. After that embarrassing episode he has helped me get up. Today I was able sit up on my own!!!

I went kite flying with my grandsons. Even if I am able to do so because I am finally healed from my spinal surgery , I would have never been able to fly kites 84#s ago.

Today I am humbled and blessed--

and--

Smiling. Who doesn't smile when flying a kite??

I totally relate @cindyw41. I started doing body pump class this week after a few years off. I can get on and off the bench easily for the chest and triceps tracks now. My NSV, I did 84 push-ups in one of the body pump classes this week. It is just nice to actually be able to do body weight exercises again.

NSVs have been my motivating force the last few weeks! Here are some of mine:

1. I was able to comfortably cross my legs at church yesterday!!!!! YAY!

2. I was able to wear my wedding rings for the first time in 2 yrs.

3. I actually went to a work out class today at a local gym and didn't die! lol

4. I actually look forward to doing things more physical or being outside whereas before my surgery I would stay on my couch.

Celebrating these victories is so important! Congrats to all you!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
