    I usually get footlong sandwiches in between school breaks, today I replaced it with a protein shake

    I love the 'Bounce' protein balls we get here but can eat then in two bites. Today I took smaller bites and chewed it properly, really tasting it and enjoying it. As a bonus it filled me up more, psychological or otherwise ;-)

    I accidentally dropped half my breakfast bagel on the ground this morning, so a few less calories for my first meal. ;)

    I did a sun salutation while I waited for the tea kettle.

    I began working on my flower/garden beds early. I burned several calories. I also spent time exploring a neighbor town with as much walking as I could - including using steps which has always been difficult (previously) with my recurring knee injuries!

    Today is my cheat day. I allow myself 1 day every two weeks where I can eat what I deem "totally inappropriate, marginally nutritional" food. I allow myself to go over my allotted calories by 200 calories. So for lunch today, I had a Whataburger hamburger, fries, and a Dr. Pepper. After 2 sips of the soda, I decided it was too sweet and switched to water (saving me a ton of calories). As a lifetime member of the "clean plate club", I am trying to reprogram myself to stop eating when I'm full and not when the food is gone. So, as I am eating, I notice that I am getting full. I stopped eating before I ate all of my fries (I ate about 1/2 the box). This is HUGE for me. I never leave fries. So not only did my body not like the soda, but I listened when it said that's enough food and I am satisfied. This is a cheat day first and I am so proud of myself! Hope everyone else can remember to celebrate the small steps that lead to a new life.

    Nice accomplishment. I can relate to the "clean plate club" guilt.

    I am definitely a texture person. I crave foods that crunch when I eat them.
    Instead of grabbing a little bag of chips that they keep stocked in my office, I just ate a bag of sugar snap peas!

    A friend took me out to lunch. There was nothing healthy on the menu, but I noticed they serve lunch until 2:00 so I ordered 2 poached eggs and went home to a nice green salad.

    Found the kettle bells and dusted them off. Only did about 10 minutes but it is 10 minutes more than I did the past 3 months.

    Yesterday my office celebrated a few birthdays and had cake and cookies brought in. Multiple people asked me if I wanted a slice, and I said no each time :)

    Yesterday I hopped on my stationary bike while the kiddo showered, only 10 mins but a start. Today I packed a protien shake instead of a bunch of snacks! Hoping to do a little lifting in my office today too!
