NSV Linkup!

Yes, it is that time again! I am linking up with KTJ and Lex for non-scale victories (NSV's).

Had to seriously think about this one since I am honestly too obsessed with the scale at the moment...

1.  I bought an actual swimsuit.  Except for getting WAY to personal with the sales lady (yep, she saw me mostly naked) - no major issues!  I didn't feel like I needed medication or a drink.  Awesomeness.

2.  I have logged every single bit of anything shoved into my piehole since 4/15.  Major Streak for me!

3.  I fit into not one but TWO of my formals for my cruise.  NOT the one I really wanted...ok, I fit but my boobs did not.  Go figure.  It was handy since I went to look for formals and everything looked like a bad high school prom.  Pass!

That's it for me!  I'm off on vacation starting tomorrow!!  Peace Out!

Another NSV Linkup!

Yes, it's that time again!!  

Love reading KatieJ's blog and joining her and Lex for the weekly NSV!!

I'm feeling great and am really in the groove with my new changes.  I don't freak out about going out to eat or feeling like I can't manage myself unless I am sequestered in my house (ok, I do but not out of control)!

I have two things that come to mind this week:

1)I actually went shopping!  For me, that sounds just ridic but I cannot tell you the last time I went shopping for clothes.  I have been wearing my fat clothes over and over and over.  When you are hating how you look and feeling like jabba the hut, shopping sucks ass.  No.fun.whatsoever.  I bought several tops that I knew I could still wear when I get 20+ lbs smaller and a maxi dress at the Gap that was freaking on sale!!  $23!  Have no idea why it is $55 on sale online but whatev...this dress is like wearing your pj's but great when working at home or slepping on the weekend!

2)I have an amazing sense of self control right now...I have had a few glasses of wine but I don't feel like I want to have another...ok, and maybe another.  I realize this makes me sound like a total alcoholic BUT I have routinely been having 2-3 glasses of wine and not even thinking about it.  Same goes with food.  I went out for dinner with my parents and had my cup of soup and side salad and felt fine.  UNTIL, they ordered QUESO AND CHIPS!  Are you shitting me right now?  I almost throat punched my husband.  But, I did not eat a single chip.  Queso is my kyptonite.  Just sayin.

Have a great week!

NSV Link Up

It's that time again!

Joining in on the NSV with Lex and KTJ!

This has been a VERY challenging time for me professionally and personally...BUT...for the first time in a LONG time, I feel in control.  My last few years can pretty much be summed up by being out of control....eating too much, drinking too much amazing wine, career changes, personal family problems....

I have been on a ever ending carousel ride...I am feeling a sense of control...I am white knuckling through it but I like it!  

NSV!

Let's start things off with my NSV of the week!!

This is easy peasy this week!!  For certain this has been following through with my 5 Day Fast Forward!Has left me feeling great, like I am in control and seeing/feeling progress!  Now, to just not give back any of the ground I have made this week during the weekend!



Thursday Link up - kjweighingin NSV!

OK, this is big people.  I am breaking up with one of my best friends.  For awhile....not forever.  It's just a sweet farewell for the month of March.  It's not just Far Niente - it just so happens to be delicious and one of my favorites (plus its a pretty bottle)!  I have a previously scheduled a wine tasting this evening - I will consider it an informal breakup party.

I am just calling this a NSV as I am quite certain this little devil is working hard against the progress I have made this year and it likely the reason I am not seeing the results I want.  Yes, I am sad.  My evening relaxation routine will be impacted.  Writing this makes me seem like a total boozer!  But - hey, it is what it is.  Shoot me - I like love my wine!  But - I want to see results more.

Non-Scale Victories Linkup

My first link party!  I'm not even sure if I am doing this right but let's give it a shot...

I guess my nsv would be that I didnt quit.  After "starting over" oh say a million bazillion times, I have stayed with logging my food, exercising and eating reasonably well.  I haven't lost what I wanted but I'm still plugging away and I haven't said "I will start over tomorrow"...

That is a first - at least for a LONGGGG time!
