August Monthly NSV Thread

Appetizers and party buffets are my kryptonite. I made it through the first of two today only having two bottled waters and two bites of cut cantaloupe! I'm mourning the skipping of some delicious looking cupcakes and pulled pork sandwiches, but a win overall...

I hope you post this every month so we can update throughout the month with our NSVs. I love it :D

Today's NSV? I believe that I'm off prescription pain killers! I took my last dose of oxy last night at 10pm and I've been tylenol only ever since. w00t! This surgery recovery is completely different than the recovery from the last surgery. So happy!

I've added it to my calendar for the first of every month!

I love reading all of these!

Great idea for a thread Cecily :)

Im joining you with my first size 16 pair of jeans - $6.99 AUD from the Thrift shop

Have started giving away my size 20 and size 18 clothes

My husband tells me so many times a day how amazing I look and I catch him standing there grinning at me. Makes my heart sing and boosts my low self confidence more than he will ever realise. Love my supportive man

Im starting to have THIGH GAP - woahhhh - this is a game changer for me

A couple of August NSV for me:

I started the TRX workouts and, not only are they amazing, I can do them!!!!! (Check them out at http://www.trxtraining.com/#/)

I wore a women's size medium t-shirt on Saturday, and it was loose!!!

Just saw this thread. Great idea!

Rode on the back of a motorcycle last night. Sounds like such a simple thing, but it's a big deal to me.

I biked 44 miles on Saturday and then felt good enough to do 28 more on Sunday. All together I biked 100 miles last week. I used to need a couple days to recoup after a 28 mile bike ride so I'd only do it like once a month. Now I bike at least 3 times a week and over 20 miles at a time.

Wearing all non-plus sized clothes tonight to go out to dinner and I noticed when styling my hair after my shower I lost a lot less (still more than I want to but not nearly as bad as it was) and I have a bunch of little 1/2 inch long sprouts along my part. Come on little sprouts!

5 days post op and my wedding ring fits again! I've been substituting a bigger plain band (my great grandfather's) for 2 years.

I feel like I should wait to post this in September, but here goes. I ordered a bikini knowing that I would only wear the top and get swim shorts for the bottom because I think I'd like my thighs to be covered when I go canoeing in October.

Based on size charts, for my boobs, I ordered a small. The top fits great - yay! On a whim, I tried on the bottoms. OMG, they also fit great! WTF.
