NSV - Keeping up with my new boss...

So I got an awesome new job, and today was my first day in the new office. (Yay!)

But that's not my NSV.

My new boss and I had a lunch meeting offsite, and he offered to drive so we didn't have to get both get our cars out of the garages. I don't have my parking space assigned yet, so I just paid the daily rate at the closest one. Come to find out, assigned parking is in one of 3 different garages, none of which are the one closest to our building. Boss' garage was 2 buildings over, though there was a skybridge at least.

Boss walks FAST. I was in heels. I got over 3,000 steps on my fitbit just to and from his garage space.

2 years ago, I'd have been huffing and puffing and feeling like I was going to die, and would have had to ask him to slow down.

Today I not only kept up with him, but carried on a conversation the entire time. Wasn't super easy, but I did it without looking like I was straining, so that's a huge win for me.

My fitness level isn't where I want it to be (yet) but this was a solid showing of how far I've come.

Gosh, I love my sleeve!

In heels no less! I'm impressed.

And congratulations on your new job!

That is amazing! Congratulations on both huge accomplishments!

That's great! What a good feeling to know what you're doing in that moment is something you wouldn't have even fathomed accomplishing in the past.

That is a wonderful NSV, congratulations on your new job as well!!!

it! it! it! it! it! it! it! it! it! it! it! it! it! it! it!

That is phenomenal!!!

Thanks for all the congratulations and good thoughts. I'm a project/program manager for essentially a technology think tank for a large hospital network. I've got a LOT to learn, but I'm loving it. I've come home exhausted and pretty much fallen straight into bed after dinner. :)

I got my parking assignment, and it's 1,300 steps (or so) from my parking space to my desk (3 buildings over, but there's a sky bridge). I'll definitely be getting more steps in every day. The fact that I can now do it without being winded is fantastic.
