NSV's for the Merry Losers

Let's have our very own Non-scale Victories thread!

My first one: I can do up the seat belts on the bus into work in the morning!! I work on a mine site and we get bussed from camp to site, and HAVE to wear seat belts (safety regs). The driver comes by to check before taking off and up till now, I've had to hide the fact that I couldn't quite click the buckle in. It's always been so embarrassing having anyone see me struggle and then have to hide my failure from the bus driver. This week, it was tight, but it did up every time!! YAY!

I went to get my nails done and my nail tech (who is a good friend and hopefully being banded in February) says.... "girl you need new pants, those are falling off you!!"

I made goal in the swimming pool last night! I've been working my way up to do 1km, which is not easy in a little pool. It takes 50 laps of the camp site's 20m pool. The first night, I did 10, 2nd night 20, 3rd night 30 and last night I went for broke and did all 50! I was tired at the end but felt so good!

I noticed today at work that I kept needing to pull up my size 48 jeans. I also think I need a new smaller belt. It was pretty funny to walk around the office and keep pulling my pants up.

<p>I Ran Today!!!!</p>

I didn't run far but I ran. It was so very awesome. I walk in the gym every day at lunch and today because I wasn't puffing nearly hard enough :) I ran the short ends. I made 5 laps running the short ends, walked 5 more, then ran 5 more. Before long I want to be jogging a lap and then walking a lap. That's my goal for the month exercise wise.

I love my band!!!!

Tried on size 20w pants and they fit. Down from a 26w! Also noticed that my diamond tennis bracelet is dangling a half inch on my wrist! Never thought about loosing it there. :smile:

I am down to an 18 from 22 now! I've lost about 2.5 inches in my waist so far! YEAH!!! That feels good!

Right after surgery ,I was lucky to stay on the treadmill for 5 minutes , walking 2 MPH.I accidentally pushed the wrong button yesterday and had to run at 4 MPH. It was rough going ,but I did it. I haven't ran for 19 years. My wrist weights I bought to use while I was walking now actually fit around my wrists. Congrats to all of you. Keep up the great work.:smile:
