I think I've explained NSVs before, but just in case I haven't, it stands for Non Scales Victories. That is, anything that shows success in weight loss that's not related to the numbers on the scales. So clothing getting looser, being able to walk up stairs without getting so out of breath, being able to touch toes after years of a big belly getting in the way. Anything like that. I've had a couple come to mind in the last day or two.
The train was busy after work yesterday evening. I normally hate having to stand, even for a couple of stops. It hurts my feet and my back. Both of those parts of my body have taken some abuse since I got heavy again. But yesterday, it wasn't so bad. I'm sure it would have started to hurt after a while, but initially it was fine. It was a definite improvement on the last time I had to stand, which was a few weeks ago. I love seeing these signs of getting fitter, especially after so short a time.
Another one is that I now have a few pairs of trousers that I can take off without unbuttoning them. They just slide over my, still not inconsiderable, hips. I'm almost at the point of having to stop wearing a couple of pairs, they're so loose. I am well pleased.
I went out for coffee with Penfold and Smiley last night. I'd eaten my dinner beforehand, so wasn't too tempted by all the cake. Mind you, there was a gorgeous looking salted caramel cheesecake that nearly wore me down :-) But dinner had been lovely. Flour tortillas with the left over chilli for a couple of nights ago, lettuce, garlic mayo and cheese. I absolutely honk of garlic today!
