Friday NSV roll call!

[Dub 9,922]

I had a couple.......

*Had my 3.5 month checkup with sleeve surgeon yesterday. Didn't have to use the widebody chairs in his waiting area....just the normal ones. He was very pleased with the results thus far and helped me refine my strategy for continued loss.

*Had my wife ask me last night what I was taking. "Taking?", I asked. She accused me of secretly taking viagra or cialis. "Nothing but vitamins" was my reply and it's the truth. She doesn't believe me. Good problem to have, I suppose.

*Still at work right now and gettting ready to leave for the day.....may stop at the gym.....may not. Already have 11,298 steps on the fitbit already. I'll add at least another 1,000 steps to reach my vehicle ( I now park in the furthest spaces I can).

* A new jacket that I'd ordered a month ago came in today. It's and athletic cut and taper. At the time I ordered it.....the store demo wouldn't close and zip up.....but I ordered it anyway. Picked it up this morning and tried it on......zipped up with room to spare. Very cool feeling. Went ahead and ordered some new shirts, too.....that won't fit me now....but will in a month when they arrive.

New jacket = soon to be too large.

Had three people tell me not to wear the pants I was wearing today anymore. ????. A little (lottle) too saggy!!

Wore a jacket that I have only worn once before I started gaining... and it's loose!

I love it tho so kinda sad that it's already too big and only got to wear it once!

I'm going to keep it anyways and just look at it. Lol

Looked in the mirror this morning after getting out of the shower, had to pause and look again and give myself a "damn girl".

I too got a new drivers license and it arrived in the mail....

Baby sat a 1 year old tonight, cleaned like a crazy person since it was kinda a last minute thing. I spent the whole night up and down off the floor and running crazy. I realized I am not nearly as tired as I normally would have been. Now I'm finishing up Dr. Who and then watching Moon Struck. Don't judge me, I am a woman of various tastes.

I have a few...I wore a XXL dress from the old navy regular women's section and it fit!!! That was awesome! Then thinking it was a fluke I tried on a pair of XXL old navy sweatpants and they fit in the waist but were baggy in the butt! ???? I just bought the dress for the future and thought I'd try it on to gauge how long until it would fit and it fit now! So then, I went to my closet and tried on every piece in there and found 4 black trash bags full of clothes that are now too big! ???? I've changed out my closet and found out I am now a 22/24 and not a 32/34 anymore Whoo hoo! It really has helped me to see my body is changing. I haven't completely conquered my body dysmorphia, but for a moment I saw myself as I actually am.

Dropped two sizes in jeans. For the first time in almost a year, I wore a pair of jeans comfortably all day.

[ChefSaraKay 21]

I have always loved North Face jackets but I have never been able to find one I could comfortably zip and didn't want to spend $100+ on an ill fitting jacket. Thursday this week, I went to Marshall's to buy some athletic leggings and they had a rack of North Face jackets. I tried one on just to see how close it was to fitting and it zipped with ease! So I just had to buy it! I also bought my athletic leggings in a size down! My scale hasn't moved all week but I am only 5 weeks post op so I think it just might be that "3-5 week stall" Not worried though, just sticking to the plan and working through it.

I think I’m settling into complacency…in a happy way. I don’t have a particular NSV, but like @@proudgrammy I’m continuing to love life!

[pink dahlia 2,513]

NSV 's .? I have several ! Size 8 jeans. Seeing my strength improve in Pilates class. A customer who I had' nt seen in a few months, and a former co worker, both telling me I "looked great !! " Slipping into small spaces with ease. Carrying heavy items up and down our stairs. Having to shop for a few new lite jackets or cardigans, as some of mine are getting baggy. Somebody calling me "tiny !!" (What the ? ) And as someone said previously, "just living life !!!"

Bought a nice pair of size 12p pants, and wore them showing three dogs this weekend. Along with setting up crates and grooming tables, loading and unloading the van, exercising dogs, etc. Still had a ton of energy at the end of the day. A year ago, I watched my co owner show my girl, and one trip to the van wore me out. Yeah!

Spent Friday walking around NYC with my daughter, was on my feet for 10 hours teaching on Saturday and then walking all day in NYC on Sunday and then flew back to OKC. I'm not physically tired, and ready to hit it again today. Dang it's fun losing.

Hope you enjoyed my town! I was all over the city as well on Sunday. I bet we passed each other without even knowing it.
