Scale and non-scale victories

After a few weeks of the scale not moving much, it started again, and as of today, I've lost more than 76 pounds from my highest. That highest was almost exactly a year ago, when I asked my PCP for help with my weight. 

I've been looking forward to the scale goal of 75 pounds lost as one of the major milestones (50, 75, 100). And it feels great!

As my reward, I'm having my car detailed. I hit 75 pounds yesterday, I called today and the appointment is tomorrow — I'm not wasting time. My car hasn't been cleaned in 3 years, and we have dogs. Furry dogs. Furry dogs who shed. A lot. 

My best NSVs for the week both are fitness related. 
* Saturday morning, Paul and I went to the middle school track. I ran three times, from 1 minute 30 seconds to 1 minute 50 seconds, and made it a little more than halfway around the track without stopping. I was really proud I did it three times.
* Our short loop in the neighborhood is twice as long as our old short loop, up from .8 mile to 1.5 miles.
