I love that....that is so wonderful and kind of him!

I exercised today even though I am stiff and sore from last night's Tae kwon do exercise!! I haven't worked this hard since high school I don't think!!( umm, count 25+ years ago!)

It was feeling like a long time since my last nsv - but today I was working with my resistance band and I realized my arms arent nearly as weak as 3 weeks ago. I can do at least 5 more reps in each set without fatigueing my arms.

Yesterday my darling DD opened a box of Samoas and I did not have any. I actually thought about it for a minute, considered letting myself have "just one" (we all know how that would work!), then decided "maybe I'll have one tomorrow", and had a tiny piece of dark chocolate instead.

Last week I was traveling on business and ended up at the bar of a steak house having a late dinner alone. I glanced up and realized there was a mirror over the bar and I could see myself, but for a second I didn't even realize it was me. I used to go to all lengths to avoid catching a glimpse of my reflection anywhere, so this took me by surprise. Then I realized it was me and I looked kind of "normal." Maybe even a little cute!

This is so amazing!! I know you were so proud......:cheers:

I noticed that my blood pressure cuff is loose and that my favorite pink sweatpants are now really long on me. I know i didnt get shorter. :O) I can really tell the working out is slimming my thighs and arms

You are all doing terrific. Doesn't it make you feel so good about yourself when you relize you have much more self control than you ever thought you had.

My wrist is down to under 6 inches :)

At first I was thinking that there were no victories yesterday.....

I was at a client - and we were working through lunch - so they ordered in. I ordered a chicken salad platter - which i thought was going to be a scoop of chicken salad on a bed of lettuce with some tomato. Well - it was late - and when it got there it was huge and i was starving!!! And there was a ton of cole slaw - with lots of mayo - which had gone all over the salad part. And the chicken salad had waaaaay to much mayo. But I was starved (did i mention that?). So I ate! And I ate too much. And then I felt gross!

But then I decided to skip dinner & just have some fruit. So I guess the silver lining is that I didn't let one bad meal send me over the edge of blowing it completely! And, of course, thats the last time I'll order that!! (haha)

I dropped a pant size!!!

Someone else mentioned this a few days ago, but I noticed last night that my "larger" panties are now too big! My backside has gotten narrower, so the waistband sits up way higher than it used to. In fact, it wants to peek out from the top of my jeans if I'm not careful! I'm going to have to throw them away. And GOOD RIDDANCE! :)

My wedding bands fit again and are now starting to spin around my fingers loosely.

I found myself sitting at my desk with my legs crossed comfortably under my keyboard tray!!!! I know this is really bad posture but I can cross my legs again!!!

That kind of accomplishment is worth its weight in gold. You do have control and you showed yourself that. Even when we can't make the best choices in what we eat. We can make the choice to not let it take over the whole day.

Kim
Nice going. You are going to reach your goals before you know it.

Aero
Nice going. Is that why that happens? I have to roll mine down or they are over my waist band by at least an inch. They didn't do that before.

That is wonderful. Do what I did. I know where my pinkie ring on top of my wedding rings to keep them on lol.

Yay on your wrists Shy!
I actually came to post a NSV about wrists... My Tiffany bracelets fit again! Maybe I can get the hubby to get me a new one!

I met someone today, and she asked how many kids I had. After I told her that I had five, she said, "That's amazing. You're so small." I'm still in shock that she said it, because "small" certainly doesn't describe me, but it still felt great. And she looked to be about the same size that I am.
