Friday NSVs - what did you do this week?

I had a great week even with a lot of stress at work -

I started Monday off with a cookie binge of epic porportions, but I was able to completely move on, and didn't let it de-rail me. After I ate the cookies, I went and exercised instead of giving up hope! I also went and found 30 cal snack packs of apples to keep in my office for "emergencies". It's been a nice treat this week and kept me from making a lot of other bad choices.

I managed to exercise every day this week and set some new PRs for myself this week.

Every day this week, I woke up and decided I loved my new body and havent really stressed much about the scale (just a short WTF yesterday when the scale went up 3 days in a row...but got over it quick).

I scheduled a PS consult with Kaiser for next week - terrified out of my mind but Lucy and Brenda have given me some hope and courage to go at least start the process to get this panni crap cut off.

What did you do?

 Well, I have manged to survive with out my scale for 2 days, so that is certianly a NSV!!! HAHAHA!

I had a plastics consult yesteday, even though I am not considering it until Nov/Dec.  So, I was basically naked in front of the surgeon and he says to me...."you really dont need to lose any more weight, you are all skin, not much fat.  You are mostly muscle."    My response- Would you remind repeating yourself, please ????   And he did!!!  Holy Wow, I was shocked!!!!!   While he did say I was a good candidate for the surgery now, he agreed that making sure my weight was stable was very important.   So that consult COMPLETELY made my day!!!   So, in Novemeber, hello to new abdomen and boobs!  

I also managed to jog 4 miles in under an hour which is a big deal for me.  

AND today I bought a swimsuit......from Target.  Just walked right in, tried one one and bought it.  No huge amount of angst.  It looks good and it didnt cost me a gazillion dollars from the plus size store.  

Seriously loving life right now.  

 Sunday my hubby picked me up. Off the ground. And didn't die. I won't let him do it again, but damn if that didn't make my night, plus he is all macho now LoL in a cute way though. I'm only about 15 lbs heavier than him now. 

Yesterday I emptied my closet of 2 large boxes of clothes that are too big, and sold them and treated myself to a new tank top 2 sizes smaller than I was wearing 7 months ago! 

The scale hasn't moved in weeks, but these are the things that keep me going. 

Thanks for the topic to remind me! 

Gina :~) 

Had to run out of town ---unexpectedly---to handle a stressful family thing. Got myself a cheap short term Y pass so I could still swim laps/water aerobics. (They were really nice---gave me a student rate--I'm far from a student!)

I haven't stepped on the scale since Monday and won't (goal****il Monday, 4/30---that's the goal!

Stayed on plan AND NO WINE! (usually a family event!).

That's it---glad to see this forum seems to be picking up a little speed. I'm seeing some new names today.

 I bought my first pair of skinny jeans yesterday and I look pretty damn good in them  Yeah they were a size 20 so not quite skinny but I'm happy about it nonetheless. I started out wearing a 28 now I'm between a 22 & 20. Ultimately I'd love to be in 14's and I know I'll get there eventually. 

BTW my 14yr old football player son picks me up whenever he feels like it. If he woulda tried that when I was 380 he probably woulda hurt himself

 My little NSV's happen all the time. but this week it seems like ive been hit on lately quite alot. and its so funny when it happens in front of my boyfriend. hes 6'1" and could easily pass for a bouncer, idk why people think its ok to hit on a woman right in front of her man.

 When you are that hot, men just can't help themselves :)

I love reading these.  They are so much more important to me than scale victories because I get to read about how people are LIVING!  And that sounds so exciting!
