The tire was patched up after a quick call to AAA.
A locksmith came to rescue us from the balcony.
Neither of these incidents caused me to binge eat.
NSV is not even a strong enough concept for this. It blows my mind, really. Because as recently as a week and a half ago, I was triggered by every little thing - as big as a fight or as small as a rude or unkind comment from my ex-husband. Noah and I sat on the balcony for nearly an hour, singing and talking and watching the thunder and lightning and rain. He got a little antsy at the end, understandably, but still - it didn't trigger me to overeat.
This has been the best week I've had, no joke, in years.

After he goes to sleep and I am all by myself, I'm still not triggered or even interested in binge eating. I load up the dishwasher, I do any laundry if needed, I read, I write, I play Words With Friends, I watch Netflix (I am so into "Grace and Frankie" right now). And I go to bed feeling grateful and feeling satisfied that I did the best I could that day.
I worked out every day except the weekend, when the gym was closed so Noah and I went for walks. I drank plenty of water. I tracked my food. And it was a good week by the numbers as well.

$5 goes into the Fitbit Fund, and I'm looking forward to finally getting out of the 300s again - for good this time. Once I get to 295, I will start Couch to 5K again - a significant number, as it's not only my 50 pound loss, but it's also the weight I was when I started the running program back in 2010.
My goals for this upcoming week are to just keep up the good work. Stay focused, keep busy, and make the best choices I can. Having the rules of the Whole30 is very helpful right now - it gives me a plan, it gives me something to focus on. And having an audience on MyFitnessPal and Instagram has definitely helped with keeping me accountable!
What about you? How was your week? Any NSVs? What are your goals for next week?

Congrats on responding to stress positively! I agree that tracking and having a specific food and exercise plan helps stay focused.
My funny NSV: I usually put my phone in my waist band when I wear a certain elastic banded skirt so my tracker will count steps to and from the breakroom and around the office. It usually fits snug against my hip bone. Yesterday, I got up to get more water from the breakroom, and it fell out the bottom of my now baggy skirt and hit the floor!
I'm so happy for you!!! Without your ex draining your emotional reserves, you can do anything!
I'm about a week binge-free. It's a huge NSV but I don't want to talk about it much because I'm afraid if I obsess over it, I'll shoot myself in the foot.
What an awesome week, and an awesome uber-NSV at that! Overcoming the urge to binge is such a HUGE empowering thing, and you did it this week! Way to go!
My NSV this week was wearing a button-down shirt that didn't even come close to buttoning a year ago. My goals this week including cutting back on my sugar intake--it's gotten a little out of hand recently, time to reel it in a bit.
YOU ARE THE GREATEST.
So glad you had a great week! I love Frankie and Grace, too :)
You are awesome! I'm so glad you had a great week, and way to go on not letting those sadded stressors not trigger a binge!
I meant added, not sadded stressors*
You are a champion! You have found that stride. Bookmark this post or something for a crappy day. Because this is you at your best! :)
Your NSV is HUGE!!! Congrats!
So proud of how far you've come so far! This journey is going to be even more amazing for you than the first time...mark my words. If you are anything, you are an overcomer, and you are proving it every day. Can't wait until you start the C25K...gonna try to pace you at that point. Maybe I can pick up a few pointers! :)
