Finish this phrase and come back daily to share any little small achievements that you feel you should give yourself a small pat on your back!

I'll start off for today.....

I'm so glad that today, I managed to stick to my plan of doing at least 40 mins of jogging, even though it meant jogging around my neighbourhood at 1015pm till 11pm in the night! and as a result, I managed to stick to my target calories....:drinker:

    I used 2 ripe avocados, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/3 C cocoa powder (dark by Hershey's), and 1 Tbs. of honey. Mixed it all in a blender. It made 4-100gram servings. You may need to add a little more milk till you get the desired consistency. I made it last night and it was even better today after it sat in the fridge overnight.

    I watched a movie with my sister and actually enjoyed it instead of just using it as an excuse to stuff my face and missing most of it.

    Ate period. I had a salad for lunch. I normally do not eat until dinner, if that.

    I am glad that I dragged my backside out of bed at 0530 and completed the Zombie 5k training Week 3 Workout 1 and then hung out with my brother for a couple hours.

    I know this is going to sound really childish for a 35 year old woman to say but.....
    I'm so glad I didn't eat my feelings when my brother hurt my feelings today.

    Seems like my emotional eating is the number 1 cause for gaining 30lbs in the last year alone and today on day 3 of starting over I managed to just handle being upset and not grabbing a box of cookies or king sized bag of chips. Stupid sounding accomplishment I know but every day counts right?

    I went to a birthday party and did not eat any cake. I went to Subway and didnt get a cookie. I attempted and accomplished five pushups and not the kind on your knees, just toes and hands! THAT was a major achievement LOL!:blushing:

    Awesome accomplishment actually and really important its far to easy to let people win when they hurt you and much harder to stick to your goals. Way 2 go!

    Two things for me. One, I went to Old Navy for their active wear sale and found that I wear a smaller size than expected :) And 2, I'm proud that my husband and I went to the grocery store and stuck with our healthy food shopping list!

    I'm so glad that today, I finished all my grocery shopping for about 2 weeks, and I not only had a good workout at the gym, but I was able to get in about a half hr at the driving range. It's was a very good and productive day!:happy:

    I was lazy and did not plan any meals today, but just grazed every time I felt hungry (which seemed like all the time.) I talked myself into good choices each time I wandered into the ktichen, though, and ended up under my calorie goal for the day.
