NSV: Commitment
* This post may contain affiliate links or sponsored content. *
It’s time to celebrate those Non-Scale Victories — those weight-loss moments that occurred somewhere other than the scale. Take some time each week to reflect on those small successes that add up to huge weight-loss results for you. Share them here and let us celebrate with and be inspired by you.
My big NSV this week happened Thursday. I had two kids that were sick and, honestly, I just didn’t want to go to the Y. I was planning to, though, after my husband got home from working out at his gym.
He came home early, though. I asked him why he didn’t go to the gym. He told me he was feeling lazy and didn’t want to go. I thought I might go early, then, so I could get home early. I asked Brianna if she was going with me. Nope, she didn’t want to go either.
I had every excuse : two sick kids and two lazy people who couldn’t very well give me any grief for not going. But, you know what? I went anyway. Not only was I very proud of myself for staying committed, but I actually felt much better, physically, for having gone.
What about you? Did you enjoy and non-scale victories this week?

She has a pretty serious addiction to sweet tea and Words with Friends. Kris and her husband of over 30 years are parents to three amazing homeschool grads. They share their home with three dogs, two cats, a ball python, a bearded dragon, and seven birds.
Even though my scale seems to be broken – my clothes are fitting! I have a horrid picture in which I was tagged by a friend last spring where I was playing baseball. My pants were UNSNAPPED in the picture, and folded down, when I threw the ball, my shirt was up a bit, and it all showed. Oh I love tagged photos. 🙂 (I did learn how to untag). Well, I took those shorts out to do some beach coming and TAH DAH! They are loose. I may never take them off . . . . The boys are commenting on how great my legs look, and I feel great. Today we will walk for possibly hours looking for sand dollars on the beach, and I'm looking forward to it!

thanks for the encouragement.
Good Job to you for doing it when you didn't feel like it!
Yay! I didn't even make it once to the Y this week. Good for you!
YAY YOU! Let's see ….
I am becoming more and more aware of how dishes are put together. That's mostly out of necessity because I am traveling so much at the moment, and I have to eat out. I'm keeping in contact with my healthy buddies to keep me focused. I could just give up because of these circumstances, but I will not!
Also, I'm using the treadmill at the hotel, which is a nice change because I don't have one at home!
