Not a whole lot to report this week. I made it to the gym five days this week,
which included four Zumba classes. My
diet continues to go well. Seeing my
food choices in writing, with the myfitnesspal app, has really helped me stay
on track. I burned some additional
calories with an evening of Swing dancing to a live band. I hadn't danced Swing in quite a while. It was a nice treat.
I learned a new weight loss term this week: NSV. According
to the Urban Dictionary, NSV stands for Non-Scale Victory. “NSV is a dieting and weight loss term for
noticing your weight loss success off the scale.” Examples of NSVs are getting rid of clothes
because they are too big or shopping in the "regular" stores. So, it seems that I've had a number of NSVs over
the course of my fitness journey, but didn't know to call them that.
Motivation
- I noticed stretch marks in the bicep area, so the muscles are definitely growing. Now that the marks are apparent, it also means that it’s time to up the vitamin e.
- I got into another pair of shorts and a pair of jeans, neither of which I could wear at the beginning of the month.
- I've managed to finish under my calorie goal for most of the last twenty five days. This is outside of the exercise calories that I've burned.
I need to find another short term goal to work towards. I don’t have anything on the calendar, so
far, to use as a carrot. I’m sure that
something will pop up soon.
That’s it for now. I’ll
be firing up the grill for the Labor Day holiday, which may become a splurge day.
