I love to read everyone Nsv's. I find I say to myself. I did that too or wow I never thought of that as something I have accomplished. They really are much more important than the numbers going down on the scale. I can't wait to wear a swim suit this summer without a skirt on it. I know I will not look as good as I should but WOW what a moral booser that will be. Told the hubby I am going to walk around in two strings and a couple of band aids, lol he said ya maybe inside the house with the shades down lol.
I totally agree that it is the other stuff that is way better than the number on the scale. Right now I am LOVING wearing clothes that are too big - it's gives me such a kick everytime I put something on & it's too long & sloppy looking. Hahaha!

How are you doing in that new area with all that heat? Are you getting to like the new gym better? We went and bought me a couple new t shirts with thermal shirt under them for winter. They were on sale dirt cheat 9 bucks for the two ( 4 altogether ) shirts and I really needed something warm. I always bought 2x's because A. I loved stuff really big and baggy and B I knew they were going to shrink a lot lol. Well, I washed them in warm water and dryed them. They are still so huge it is unbelievable. Made me really happy on the one hand but on the other hand I swim in the things and have to roll the sleeves up about 12 inches, I am not kidding lol. We were back at the store today for oil and I tryed on another of those shirts, nice to see larges were still big lol. I have to stop thinking I need such big sizes.

It's funny, I do not find it that hot here until I get to the gym. Maybe they have heaters on in there I'm not seeing but boy-o-boy do I sweat!!! DH thinks it is probably partly due to the change in altitude. Either way, eventually I'll adjust - lots of fluids until then.
As for the gym - I'm not liking it any better. It seems each time I go something else jumps out at me to make me dislike it. The fact that they do not have a squat rack is the biggest thorn though. It's such a simple piece of equipment yet none of the gyms here (except of course the farthest one) seem to have it & it is something that I use the most for my workouts. But I will persevere. DH & I are seriously considering turning the carport into a workout area & purchasing our own squat rack, a bench & a few hundred lbs in weights - lol.
Good going on the shirts Shy. I have to admit I love my warm woolly clothing. Something about it is just so satisfying. But I shall not complain as Ottawa is being hit hard with the snow this year & I am missing it all.

Yes, it could be the altitude. I don't happen to like temps to be over about 70 or 75 lol. Ohio is a very humid place in the summer so I enjoy winter.
Ugh - don't you just hate humidity? That is what Ottawa is like too & I despise it! I have always joked that I would never choose to live in Ottawa based on it's weather!

I have been all over the country for work and I keep comeing back to Ohio. Hated when I had to spend a few weeks or a month somewhere else. But then, I live 10 min from the house I grew up in.
I just received an e-mail from a friend saying that I am her inspiration to work out & lose weight!!! It amazes me that anyone could look at me for inspiration - I feel so blessed.
My NSV to day was a smaller portion of oatmeal at breakfast { dont laugh} . I have also had three waters. And consequently have a had to pee about 30 times! Does this get better? lol!
Heeyyy, TAKE BACK THE NIGHT!!! Ahem... well I dont really remember where that catch phrase came from . For me it means my NSV was no eating at night. This has been a HUGE issue for me. So what it means is I was totally on plan yesterday I am very happy about this!
Have a great day. Thanks for startin this thread. I dont have a scale right now so al my victories are going to Be of the NSV variety for the next week or so. Well It's New Years Eve day here so I'll get stated wishing you all the best in the new year and Loose The Weight In 2008! Kriss
Heeyyy, TAKE BACK THE NIGHT!!! Ahem... well I dont really remember where that catch phrase came from
LOL - I remember! I remember going a take back the night march with my Mom when I was about 8. At the time for me it was quite the spectacle & so exciting to be up & outside so late!
My nsv is that I just came back from walking my dog. I decided I wanted to make this part of my morning routine & today is the 3rd day in a row - on my way to making it a habit. She of course already thinks it's a habit & is ultra excited as soon as I get out of bed - lol! The tough part now is convincing my body it hasn't already exercised & still get my butt to the gym this aft.
