little victories

hroush

Today I am just filled with little victories. Started off by weighing myself and I have lost a total of 5 pounds in about 2 weeks since I joined this site. I decided to try on a shirt that I haven't worn in probably 2 years and it doesn't look like I have a beer gut, yay! My wife wanted to go out for pancakes at IHOP (going out to eat is one of my biggest demons). I discovered something on the low calorie menu that sounded really good and went with it. My wife was going to get something horrendous, but when she found out what I was getting, she thought it sounded good and got it too! We purchased a little blending wand from walmart so that we can make smoothies for breakfast instead of eating at burger king on the way to work. All this and it's not even noon!

Now if I can just make substantial jumps in a project due sunday night, I will be golden.

Revel in your little victories as they add up to bigger ones! Congrats and try to prepare more of your food at home rather than selecting to go out, especially early on in your lifestyle change.

We do eat at home quite a bit, but sometimes what the wife wants...

Glad you have found a way to eat out and still be moe healthy! I am headed out tonight to meet some new friends and I steered us to a restaurant that has something yummy AND healthy on the menu!
