NSVs - Non Scale Victories

Posted this in my diary but thought I'd copy it here;
Had a little NSV today - we were practicing ECG in uni and I was in a group with 3 other girls. We had to record each person in the groups ECG and then the person with the strongest trace had to exercise for 1 minute before having theirs recorded again.
Well I was the lucky one in my group to be picked and had to stand up and do jumping jacks non-stop for one minute. Now when I was bigger, this would have been my idea of HELL! I probably would have down right refused to be honest but if I had done it 5 stone ago, I would have ended up red faced and drenched in sweat.
But today I stood up in front of a class full of people (who I don't know very well yet!) and star jumped on the spot for one whole minute
That's not even the best bit - the best bit is when it came to recording my pulse! My resting pulse was 63 and after exercising it only went up to 72 and it was back down to 63 within 3 minutes!
Some people in the class (not particularly unhealthy looking people either!) were out of breath with pulse rates in the 100's after the exercise and it just made me feel good to know that I haven't just made a change to my appearance, but to my health as well

I wore size 12 leggings to the gym! Size 12! LEGGINGS! And I only felt slightly self-conscious!
I also put on my size 22 trousers, which fitted me nicely at the start of the year, just for fun, and the look on my boyfriend's face was truly comical - his jaw dropped I think this is a good demonstration of why it's important to measure/take pics/keep a pair of your 'big' trousers, because it really helps with the self-confidence. I can't believe how far I've come!
