NSV's & Moving Forward

 NSV - non scale victory. A new term I learned in some of the bariatric surgery groups I joined post-surgery. One of the biggest I've had so far occurred last week after a routine physical at my primary care doctor's office. My A1C blood test results are no longer in diabetic range! My lipid panel is all positive as well, aside from the HDL which has gone up (but from my understanding, if any go up, that's the one you want to go up!). 

I recently also accepted a job with a non-profit that I have followed and admired since I was a kid. Unfortunately, my anxiety and my desire to be a mom with flexibility in my work schedule won out, and I declined the job offer in the end. I'm hoping to be able to find a way to still volunteer in the foster care space, as that is where my heart is, but maybe working in a role where I can exercise a little bit of my writing creative juices and interact with high-level female attorneys isn't such a bad thing either! Trying to move forward with a positive outlook, a better understanding of where my priorities are, and finding ways to fill up my bucket and desire to serve and help my community without tipping my whole world upside down.
