1. Brought salad for a pizza lunch party. (I'm the only one who ate any :-)
2. I've been making a detailed To Do list and being careful with how I'm prioritizing it to try to keep the travel-related stress down.
3. Feeling stress anyway so I made hot tea instead of heading to the pantry.
Must return to packing!!!!

NSVs - Sat, 1/29/11
Welcome to the challenge, my Saturday Star Catchers! Here are my three NSVs for today:
1. Tasted gelato when I went to the grocery store after dinner, but I didn't order any.
2. Instead I had a dessert of oranges (clementines, actually), and I shared them with Jonah (bonus - healthy for me, good role modeling for Jonah!)
3. I've promised myself a hot bubble bath after we get Jonah to bed (he's got dibs on the tub right now...). I promise I'll do it! (If I don't, I'll have to come edit my blog post!)
I can't wait to see what little victories you are celebrating today! (Here's a hint if you need help coming up with one, and if I saw you this morning - You went to a meeting! That's a HUGE NSV right there!)

Non Scale Victories 1/28/11
It was a rough day - feeling like I'm going to have to dig deep to find successes that support my heath and wellness goals!
1) I finished and posted the initial post for this blog, as well as NSVs from yesterday (and I'm following through with tonight's list of 3 NSVs).
2) I left some of my 2nd lunch behind. (I eat with Jonah before his nap and after his nap.) I recognized I was no longer hungry, and I composted the leftovers.
3) I skipped appetizers and split a pizza with a friend at Tutta Bella for dinner.

The NSV Challenge
A great way for weight loss to feel easy is to constantly feel successful. And if we're only using the scale to judge our successes we are seriously missing out on big opportunities, and probably setting ourselves up for disappointment, too. To help us all see the positive changes we're making in our lives, I invite you to join me in the NSV Challenge!
What's an NSV you ask? It's a Non-Scale Victory!
It's stepping back from the scale and celebrating the accomplishments we have every day, even the little things.
For this challenge I, your fearless leader, commit to publishing a blog post once a day for 32 days (from Friday, Jan 28 to Monday, Feb 28) that lists three NSVs I had that day. They can be tiny, or huge.
I challenge you, my (hopefully fearless) members, to join me. Visit the blog each day and comment on the post with three of your own NSVs.
We can inspire ourselves by seeing that even days where we are feeling down that we have some small change we have made in our lives, and see that these small changes add up to big success. We can inspire each other by seeing the victories other people call out as success, that we might overlook or push aside.
I even commit to doing this while I am on vacation in Hawaii. That's how awesome I think this challenge is! I have a prize in mind, something for each member who posts at least 25 times through-out the challenge (that's an 80% response rate). A little extra incentive for anyone who needs it.
You don't need to have a blogger account or anything. You just come read this blog each day, click on the "Post a Comment" link, and post your own. I can't wait to see our successes add up!
