Ok now we want to hear all your NSV's for the week so come and let us know when you have one you want to share!! A non scale victory or NSV is something that you have accomplished that is not reflected by stepping on the scale. Such as going to a big luncheon and sticking and eating OP the entire lunch, or MAKING yourself go work out after you have been trying to talk yourself out of it. Or turning down a big treat that was offered to you but you had the strength to turn it down. Something that you are PROUD of yourself for doing and accomplishing!

Hopefully, I'll have one after today's brunch.

This is for last week (now that I figured out what an "NSV" is...) I made it to the gym three times last week.

For this week, I'm going on vacation and I already made sure the hotel has a gym and have packed plenty of workout clothes. Now, to get there...

Brunch - grilled salmon over spinach leaves - lemon juice on the salad. Ice water to drink.

OK your next step Mother Lynn is to tell them to please do not cook the salmon in butter, no seasoning such as salt!!! I often take my Molly McButter to restaurants with me! WTG!!!

I thought the salmon was grilled?

you can still use butter on it so it won't stick to the grill according to the last time I ordered it the other week! I didnt' know that either! LOL!

Hmmm - well - since I so rarely eat out that little bit of butter just isn't gonna concern me, LOL...

Okay, mine is that I went to the gym the past three days. YAY!!

Today was the 100th day of school and we had a celebration. My class brought in a snack and they had to have 100 pieces of that snack. WELL....kids brought in everything. We had M&Ms, Hershey Kisses, Skettles, crackers, and tons of other stuff. We combined it and created a "trail mix" snack with all of the food. The kids had to divide it out among each other equally. To make the long story short, my kids made a snack bag for me on my desk. I didn't know what they were doing until I went to my desk at the end of the day and there was all kinds of food. I almost grabbed a handful and started chowing down, but I didn't. I grabbed the garbage can and threw it away. That was close. I almost fell off the wagon. I guess I will just dream of eating it.

Way to go Melissa!! That is awsome!

Excellent - I could have thought of a million rationalizations to eat that - VERY well done!!! Your efforts will pay off - you'll see!

Melissa - that is absolutely fantastic. I will think of you next time I want to eat chips.

I started doing ab crunches on the stability ball instead of the bench.
