Ah... the thrill of victory over icecream is a sweet, sweet reward in itself!

But not chocolate
Still working on that one!
Yesterday I had planned a relatively lazy day. Achieved my goals plus enjoyed a lecture on 'Peace', the first of a 10 week lecture season. The lectures are designed to encourage participants to find inner peace. There are 12 participants, plus 2 facilitators.

Congratulations!!! I hope the 5k went well for you and WOO HOO on the 101 lbs! that is fantastic!
It was very hot (for me least, I live in the mountains so I am used to jogging in cool temperatures) so I was only able to walk.
I came in last place out of a LOT of people, but it still counts a a win for me because...
1. On January 1st of this year I could just barely walk 10 minutes on the treadmill.
2. I finished and after the first 5 minutes I thought I wouldn't.
3. I kept my commitment to myself to do one 5k race every month til next May.
WTG. You should be very proud of yourself.0 -

I will stay under my calorie goal and make good meal choices.
I will work out for 90 minutes.
I will express my wellness mantra twice, out loud.
I am expressing gratitude for the support of my work environment and work friends. Missing a big meeting this week, no issues. Lots of offers to cover work while I'm taking a few days off.
Decent day.
Under my calorie goal but had to use every exercise credit. Mostly good choices but could have left 1/4 of that cheeseburger on the plate last night.
Worked out for 95 minutes including a 3.3 mile walk at 16:13/mile pace.
Expressed my wellness mantra once.
For today:
I will stay under my calorie goal and make good meal choices.
I will work out for 90 minutes.
I will express my wellness mantra twice, out loud.
I am expressing gratitude for being physically able to work out and walk despite my weight.0 -

You have a very intelligent daughter! I live in Green Bay, near Lambeau Field. I can hardly help but be a Packer fan! However, I grew up a Vikings fan because I'm from Minnesota and I remember watching the Vikings games with my dad when I was a young girl. I still cheer for them when they aren't playing Green Bay! Memories. That is so sweet! 0 -

stay under 1400 calories
stay under my carb macro
have a salad

I have trouble staying motivated also. I really like this thread for that reason...breaking it down into one day at a time. What can I reasonably set for a goal Just For Today. Good luck!0 -
I succeeded in my goals for today! I got a surprise flower delivery at work and had to go downstairs to the security desk to pick it up. I walked down, but took the elevator all 7 floors....didn't want to chance dropping the vase full of flowers and water on the stairs and breaking it and making a huge mess! I gave myself a pass for that.

1. Continue with the stairs (8 days down.....6 left to make it a habit!)

3. Insanity Max 30 Pulse and some foam rolling
4. Walk the dogs
5. Tired and a bit down today but I will not be letting that disrupt reaching my goals for the day0 -
