I have had several NSV lately. When I sit back and think I am still pretty surprised that I am actually doing these things.

In the last week I did a workout at the gym that was 5k treadmill run ,12 miles on the stationary bike, 1 mile on the elliptical.

And today I bought several bikini's for my Mexico vacation in June!!They aren't the tiny ones but cute none the less. I have a picture of me the last time I wore a bikini and I was a 2 years old wearing swimmies on my arms! LOL

I haven't done anything amazing I just finally started to make myself and my health a priority .

That's awesome. Congratulations!!!

And don't sell yourself short. You have done something amazing. You are truly inspiring.

I love your new avatar pic, you are a knockout!

I also agree that what you have done is amazing and inspiring!!

You most certainly have done something amazing!!! 123 lbs AND 6 kids?!? In my books that makes you wonder woman!

Kudos to you for making your health a priority and agree completely with PP, your pic is fantastic

That's awesome! Congrats on your gym accomplishment, and enjoy those bikinis!!

congrats!

Congrats!!!!!

Enjoy your vacation. You are an inspiration!

Whoo hoo to bikinis!!

I know, right?! Who is this person indeed? And hey, you basically did a mini triathlon.

I'm in a very similar boat, doing things I never would have done before, and not even really so much weight related! Like I went to a coffee house by myself in a downtown area! That alone suggest alien inhabitation. I've mowed my lawn twice, for the first time in my entire life! I even weed whacked yesterday. I joined a hiking group...with people I don't know...and I'm going by myself...again in a downtown area! Start looking for aliens, people! I think they exist.

And I'm going bikini shopping this weekend so I can take it to the beach when I go to Florida! We should post pics. I will if you will!

You have accomplished soooo much!! Good for you and what awesome NSVs!!

You make me have hope that someday I too will wear a bikini! You're doing so well! Keep going!

I agree, don't sell yourself short. Given where you started you have made such amazing strides toward health and happiness. That is no shabby workout, for a woman of ANY size or fitness, way to go, Nikki!

That is awesome and you ARE amazing! You enjoy rockin those bikinis. You have definitely earned it.

@Nikki
HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING AMAZING?!?!? What?!?! Nah - nothing really...just changed your life...saved your life! Woo hoo on the bikinis - they may not be "little" but they're littler than than the swimsuits in my drawer right now!

@Eliana
I love all the new things you're doing. Joining a hiking group sounds like a lot of fun. I think I might have to try that one out myself! I will definitely keep my eyes out for those aliens!

Both of you enjoy your time at the beach!
