Weight-y Wednesday and some NSVs

It's Wednesday again.  And I get to come back and admit again that I have been slacking.

I haven't been eating well.  I haven't been running...or walking either.  It's been just me, my weights and the floor.  Nothing serious.   And when you half-ass it...you get half-assed results.   

...............................

Now for something more uplifting.  

NSVs (non scale victories)

The scale is not the only determining factor in your weight loss success.  At least, it shouldn't be.   There are a host of other things that you can celebrate.  

Here are some of mine...

• I can see my feet!

• The ring that I got for Mother's Day 3 years ago fits again...for the first time in 3 years.

• My sharms are going away.  (Sharms are like cankles, except with your shoulders and arms.)

• I can wear my necklaces without those 3 inch extenders you buy separately.

• I am starting to see the outline of my collar bone under my skin/flab.  (This one is super awesome, because the collar bone area is my fav part of a body.)

• My shoes fit better.

• The area of my thighs that touch is getting smaller!!

All of these things have made my body transformation exciting.  A lot of people say that it's not about the number on the scale...that it's about how you feel.  Well, that can be true to a certain extent.  I feel pretty good right now.  But I can't stop here.  I am still overweight.  I have a family history of heart disease and cancers.  The extra weight is not my friend.  Whether I feel good or not. 

So, yes, I will continue to work to get down to a goal weight range. 

But you should always celebrate those victories in between!

Happy Hump Day!!
