Okay so I didn't realize it had been that long since I updated my blog, but today I decided I would talk about some "non-scale victories" or NSV... These victories are something I learned from Nutrisystem, and its a victory that goes deeper than the number on the scale. While the number of the scale is important during weight loss, there are other things that make me happy and that are driving me to continue my journey.
As of right now I am down 20 pounds.. I finally hit the 20 pound mark, I was dancing really close to it for awhile, but I have officially hit 20 pounds down. So I get a new Nutribear soon! I had a red one, with a 10 on it, at my desk, but now I get to add its blue buddy 20! :) Yay for friends at my desk, and a nice lil Instagram photo of me with it! Ha!
NSV #1... I have been donating LOTS of clothes recently. If they are too big, I am getting rid of them, because I never plan on wearing that size again! So why keep it, when someone else could get some use out of it. Maybe I should sell my clothes, but I am feeling pretty good about not making money off of my stuff, and giving to someone that needs it.. #happyholidays? ha!
NSV #2... I bought a dress the other day from The Limited for some weddings that I have coming up. I bough a Medium... A MEDIUM! uhhh?? Is this even me?? I went to a wedding a year ago in California, and had a dress from The Limited for that wedding as well... It was an X-Large. So just to clarify, the dress I bought the other day is 2 sizes smaller than what I wore a year ago. Yeah, you could say I was pretty pumped. I also had to buy smaller jeans!
NSV #3... A couple weeks ago I hiked a trail called Pyramid that last year I was too terrified to hike because of the shape I was in. Made it almost all the way without stopping. I blame my stop on my camelback not working properly, but I did need to take a little bit of a breather :)
NSV #4... I am on day 36 of a 45 day challenge at Pure Barre... I have completed 36 classes in 36 days, and am still going strong.. VICTORY? I think YES!
So these are some of the NSV's I can think of right now. I honestly wouldn't be able to do any of this without the amazing support of all of my friends and family. You guys have been awesome. Its the little things that make such a huge difference. When I walk into Pure Barre and someone tells me they can tell a difference that makes me feel great! When I have to buy a medium, it just motivates me to get into a small.
The next couple of months will be difficult to get through since sweaters are forgiving ;) but I am excited to continue to see changes in my body. Thanks so much everyone for reading! If you know anyone that needs some inspiration, send them my blog!
