Jan. 14th:

My biggest NSVs so far are both related to travel and lifestyle. I am a minimalist and a backpacker.

When traveling prior to this journey I always had to bring my own towel which was a bath sheet (the biggest one). This took up so much valuable backpack real estate it was a crying shame.

I also had to travel with way too many spare bras (44H) just in case something happened while away, knowing I would not find my size easily or cheaply.

Now regular towels wrap around/close just fine and I can rest assured that anywhere in the world will likely carry my new and common bra size (38D/DD)

GRATEFUL BEYOND THE scale

#14 My biggest NSV so far. Last Saturday, I discovered I can pass the Army PT running requirement.

A group of military recruits were being timed on the same track I was running on. It was an adrenaline rush to see if I could keep up with them. (The average age 17 to 31) I kept up with the person in the lead. I was still on the track running after all the recruits completed two miles.

Not bad for an old woman who used to be morbidly obese.

I did my first bodyfit class at Gold's this morning. My legs are noodles, but felt so good to start working out again.

I'm a natural carb lover, so I'm having to find some high Protein foods that I actually enjoy. These are big parts of how I'm trying to get to my protein goal everyday.

#14 - Biggest NSV so far

I'm going to change this to my biggest NSV this month .... hiking without feeling anxious I would be out of breath, sweaty, overly exhausted, and generally just feel embarrassed about my weight. That was a huge reason I avoided physical activity, I felt humiliated I was so out of shape.

Biggest NSV so far: happened today peeps. My MIL had given me a gift card for a place that sells nice clothes and household stuff. I thought I'd check out their bed linen but found myself in the clothing part. I haven't been into this store for ages so I nearly fell over myself when I found a few items I thought might fit me. Well! Not only was I spoiled for choice (zomg, I don't just have to buy the one plus size item available) but I found a gorgeous blue top that I thought I could even go DOWN a size! I'm genuinely shopping for clothes like regular people!

Day 14 - Biggest Non scale victory this far?

Running again. I use to run 5Ks hike multiple times a week, and snowboard and kayak. So to be able to go run, and kayak makes my heart happy and the surgery so worth it! The fact that I'm looking forward to kayaking in Hawaii in March, and spelunking, that I signed up for 5 5ks/fun runs for the summer without fear. Those are the best NSV I could ask for!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
