Friday NSV roll call!

My new size 14 pants are already too big in the waist.

I'm still pre-surgery but just the fact that I've been trying to exercise a little bit meant that Sunday I was able to dig my car out of waist deep snow - by myself! without having a heart attack or stroke! Took me several hours with lots of breaks, but I did it! I honestly can't imagine even trying to do that a couple months ago.

I bagged up 2 sizes of clothing to take to our local resale shop. For the first time ever I didn't hesitate thinking that I should at least keep a couple things in case I gain the weight back again. And then I dug through my box of clothes that I know I can now fit into and got rid of most of those, too. They were unattractive clothes that I bought as I was gaining weight to try and get by. No more! From now on I am only going to wear clothing that looks good and makes me feel good.

I'm wearing a pair of black pumps at work. I'd say if not a 3" heel, than pretty close to that. I still have the flats I used to wear because I couldn't possibly teeter on a fashionable heel when I was obese. The only reason I haven't thrown them away is that they are an emergency shoe only.

I'm remodeling my bathroom and can fit in the tiny spaces and still have room to move around.

Oh, I also BUTTONED MY LAB COAT! All the way because I was cold...????

Never before...maybe 1-2 buttons at the top but never entire coat and where buttons don't look like they are straining ready to pop like Violet in Willy wonka!

I was able to wrap an average towel all the way around me. I was so excited that I ran through the apartment naked to show my boyfriend.

Ha! I bet he wishes you had NSVs like that every day!

I ran 11 minutes on the treadmill without stopping. Unheard of. :-)

I have noticed this week that size large tops are actually becoming too loose and sloppy. On a bad note I have no clothes that really fit me properly anymore.

[mngreeneyes 674]

I have been told, by people I enlisted to tell me, that I need to go through my closet and clean out the too big stuff! I also brought a load of 18s up from storage and am SO close to fitting in them. I also have breathing room in the size 20 dress (I am larger on the top than the bottom) that I am wearing for my nephew's wedding next weekend!

NSV FRIDAY!

Not freaking out as my scale moves up. This has never in my life...

Strength training and building muscle. Bring on the weight gain.

Finally had the courage to hire a personal trainer at the gym.

Yay!! Im right there with you size wise. I moved into 20s a few weeks ago and today went and bought 18 jeans because I know it's only a matter of days till I need them! ????

I don't know if it counts as an NSV since its technically weight related, but when they put me on the scale before surgery on Monday morning we learned that I officially weigh less than my husband for the first time in our entire 10 year relationship! He wasn't quite as ecstatic as I was, of course, but that's how its supposed to be, dammit!!
