Vacation NSVs
 

Hi all,

I felt like I needed to post something to remind myself to stay on track. I was on vacation last week, after weighing in with 49 pounds lost. I was determined to power through, no matter what temptations were there. I kept that mantra in my head, and I did pretty well.

We were at the beach, which meant lots of swimming and beach walks. I also kept up my C25K program and ran three times on the sidewalk outside our beach house.

For my birthday on Wednesday, I allowed myself a treat (NOT a cheat) of whatever dessert I wanted at the restaurant we went to. They had homemade key lime pie, and I enjoyed every bite and then counted every calorie. Over the course of the week, I ate a bit more than I usually do, but I was also more active, and I never regretted one single bite I put in my mouth (which is a NSV in and of itself for me with all my emotional eating issues).

We came back on Saturday, and I am giving myself this week to let my body normalize and get back on track, and I will WI next Saturday morning. For the first time ever in my life after a vacation I feel in control of my food and also like I'm going to have a positive result on the scale and finally crack that 50 pound barrier!

That's wonderful, and a HUGE step forward! Being in control when we're out of our norm is a big challenge, and you've faced it and beat it. Congratulations!

Yey!!

Fantastic! You should be so proud of yourself!

Congrats!!

What does NSV stand for? Being good on vacation is quite the accomplishment.

NSV = Non-Scale Victory.

Thanks, everyone!!!

Good job!

congrats!
