    Did my longest run ever: 16.2miles. And it was only about 10minutes longer than my 14.5 two weeks ago.

    The first nice comment I left on one of my friends logs. It set the tone for a very positive and rich day.

    My proud moment today was to still be able to do my interval running workout after taking two months off from it!!!
    Feeling pretty powerful and happy about that. :happy:

    No more long breaks for me!

    I'm proud that I fueled myself for the day and didn't get home both exhausted and famished.

    Ya know That moment when you pull out your (clean, you're positive) gym clothes, the only ones you have with you at the gym, and somehow they smell like they have been busy fornicating with dirty gym socks at the bottom of the gym bag... And you put them on anyway and GO TO IT. Yeah I had that moment today... Nothing will deter me from my goals dammit!

    I increased my 1RM for dead lift today. It's still not really high, but it was great for me.

    I'm kind of proud that I didn't flake on taking my dogs for their afternoon walk, even though I was tired from upping my weights at the gym. :drinker:

    Thank you everyone for sharing your proud moments, its really inspiring!

    I have been yo-yoing between using MFP, losing a little bit of weight, then stopping logging and gaining almost twice back, for the last year.

    I have started again now, and am finding stronger motivation in the community on here (which I never joined before).

    So my proud moment for today is that I am logging for a 3rd day straight :smile: with 3 days of exercise and NO sugary treats! :happy:

    Great job, everybody.

    I walked to work (1/2 mile) in minus 2 degree weather. Not much of a walk but it felt good to be moving outdoors (I wrapped my face up to keep my skin from freezing). Last year I made a commitment to walk to work instead of driving and love doing it.

    Pushing on.

    I was determined to get back to 'real' exercise today (Started the new year sick, ugh). Ended up inviting a friend to join me, but he wasn't prepared for running, so we just walked for an hour...

    After I left him at the car, I did a lap on the stairs (300). I had planned on more but with cold legs and numb feet it felt risky. I jogged back to the car..and then decided that felt good and ran up the hill. The cold air started getting to my lungs and with being newly recovered it was easy to make the excuse and cut the run at the stairs instead of the full 1.5 mile loop....but I didn't and ran back to the car.

    Came home and did a short ab workout as well.

    Now I think I'm going to make another proud decision and not finish the bottle of soda even though I've got enough calories.

    My proud moment today well yesterday 1/7/13 was getting my 13 year old son on the best Nutrition in the world Herbalife. I've got all of my family on it here in Florida now and we are all getting some amazing results. Can't wait til my son starts seeing and feeling his results so I can post them on my personal blog. I'm a proud mommy :)

    Here is my personal blog and a post about Herbalife and the amazing results my mom, and I got along with a few others on my
    team. The post includes our success stories and before Herbalife and after starting our Nutrition Plans.

    I need to write another post because my husband, my oldest son, my dad, my sister, my nephew, and 2 of my neighbors started in late 2013 and have had amazing results as well. Woot! Woot! I'm helping others reach their health and wellness goals like I am 1 person at a time.

    I didn't quit. My knee was getting sore 2/3 into my new running intervals program. I kept telling myself to suck it up I was almost done... and instead of dropping onto the rails I Just lowered my speeds a little and pushed through. I wanted to quit but I wouldn't let myself and I'm really proud of that.

    No offense but you shouldn't really be pushing through potential injuries all in the name of getting to the end of a workout. It might be that I'm interpreting your comments though so i apologise if that is the case.
    None taken and ty for the concern! Basically in my case, soreness is a good sign. It's more like, ok you're working me out a little harder then I'm used to and I feel the burn.... not.... an "omg holy major pain what did I just do" situation! I had major surgery following injury and had a mrsa complication so I was down a lot longer then I should have been. Choices right now are either going into a larger size ROM brace and I Really hate being in the robo knee, or doing an eval at 3 and 6 month marks with my weight loss to see if I can move to a PTO brace if I Do decide to do distance again or if I can just stay out of the brace period. Ortho agrees without doing my pt here at the house and pushing myself in the gym we don't have a full picture of where the knee is after going from full recovery to this out of shape spot I'm in now.
