    FINALLY broke my weight plateu and lost 7 pounds in 5 weeks! I don't notice anything changed except muscle tonage but I still feel like I did when I was almost 240 pounds which isn't good. I love my body and then I have those days like "lose a damn pound already!!" I learned I was consuming too few cals so I upped it and BAM weight loss is starting!! :)

    A sales rep brought in Reeses Cup singles to the office today. Before I knew it I had grabbed one and opened it . . . ;. . . looked at it and decided that it was not worth the 80 calories! So I gave it to my coworker! Yay me!

    Loving the Tuesday Triumph!


    I walked in the office this morning after a long weekend and one of my colleagues, who rarely compliments anyone, says "wow, you're looking great. I can totally see it around your waistline"

    You see, for two years I had gotten in the habit of covering up my midsection by always wearing over sized boyfriend cardigans and jackets and lots of black. Today I wore an outfit that accentuated my frame so it was noticeable. I gotta say...that felt pretty damn good! I must be doing something right. :)

    Kudos on everyone's Tuesday Triumphs!

    I was feeling hungry and vulnerable today so I decided to decline lunch out with my co-workers and ate what I brought instead!
  • I didn't choke on my own spit! Wheeee!

    I refrained from punching my boss in the throat yet again today!! Oh, and I had chicken and broccoli for lunch when all my co workers went to Taco Bell. :)

    I HATE when that happens! You end up getting the tomato head, one eye goes all squinty and then you can't stop coughing...a day where that doesn't happen is a win for sure.


    But the day isn't over yet.....

    Interesting you say that! I lost 55lbs two years ago and hit a 3 month plateau. I was so frustrasted I decide to stop wathcing what I ate and working out. I gained it all back. This time having my BMR done by a professional let me know I was eating way to few calories! So here I go again!! Congrats on your break through! :wink:

    It's very humbling. Tough to feel high and mighty about anything when you can't manage basic automatic body functions like swallowing your own spit.

    My first triumph is finally getting my bf to come to the gym! He's been avoiding it for months...

    The second may seem pathetic to any runners out there, but I have been unable to run to run for more than 2-3 minutes at a time forever... But today I ran for 4 minute intervals for the entirety of my C25K.. I'm proud of me!

    I bought size MEDIUM dresses from a teen clothing store. Isn't that like adult size small? LOL

    Due to snow in the weather forecast, I decided to work out on my lunch break and I'm so glad I did because the roads were too bad to go after work. I think this might be the first time I have planned ahead in that way. Also, I found a Quest bar in my work fridge that I had forgotten about. Was super excited to eat that for snack!

    COOL !!!! i'm on week 3 day 1 - earlier i was beating myself up for NOT being able to run for 3 mins BUT i only had to stop once for a few seconds then completed the cycle so yay me !!
