Non Scale Victories

Posted on July 30, 2014

Sometimes the scale cooperates and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, it's important to remember there are other ways of measuring success. Here are a couple of mine.

NSV photo - I generally don't wear woven button up shirts. Why you might ask? Because they generally have a terminal case of gaposis. That was the case with this blouse about 6 weeks ago. Now, not only does it not gap, but it is even a little roomy.

The other NSV in the pic is my ankles. Look mom! They aren't puffy any more! :)

Had a good weight loss last week but I have one more stinking lb to loose by tomorrow to win the DB4 that ended 7/29. I'm not sure I'll make it after having a good week this past week, but I'm not giving up. Why is it that DB doesn't let one participate on the board until you have a completed weigh in? It is annoying to not be able to interact with my DB buddies while I'm stuck in the weighout nightmare.

Just a quick update on the full name--I wrote into customer service and they responded that it's actually a glitch they are trying to fix... Way to go on the win, by the way!!!!

Many more thanks! We're all winners for doing this. Can you tell I have 'issues' with being singled out? LOL

I believe it is because of being friended DCGirl. There was not option that I could find for included last name or not.

You are such a huge winner, regardless of what happens tomorrow! Look at how you've rallied Team Morning Workout! :) You continue to inspire all of us, CeeAnn, sending good thoughts for the weigh-in. Quick question, I think because I've "friended" you, I receive an email saying you have a new blog post. That email includes your last name--was this something you opted for? I wasn't sure if you knew.

Congrats on your success and your non-scale victories. Those are so important, and outside of reaching the number to win the bet, I'm really trying to focus more on the non-scale victories (I didn't have a term for them before! Thanks!) like more energy, my pants being loser!

Thanks ladies! I'm going to put in some more hard work, drink a boat load of water, really watch my nutrition and indulge in a hot epsom salt & baking soda bath tonight. Hope that will do the trick. I hate having to go right down to the wire to know if I've won or lost.

@Kim tried to do a full length selfie, but my arms just aren't long enough. Of course, if I *could* just cut out my middle section, I'd have NO trouble getting to goal. I'd be disqualified for going over 12% though. LOL

It is SO MUCH easier to be successful when you measure everything in small victories. Grats to you CeAnn!! And good luck on your DB4 weigh-in this week.

Good for you! I hope you meet your goal tomorrow, but if not you know what the 'bigger picture' is =) That pic freaked me out at first, I was like, "where did her legs go?!" lol
