Didn't have seconds at dinner today! Also thought about having a cider and decided against it, little victories!

Amen to that, becca! Learning to skip the daily beers has helped me a lot .

I had a work dinner last night, didn’t have wine or any of the high calorie apps, AND stayed away from the extremelyyyyy delicious looking ice cream sandwiches. Normally I’m not a fan of those, but these were made in between two fresh, yummy chocolate chip cookies. And I remembered the post about it being a decision, not motivation, that tells you not to eat something like that when you know you shouldn’t. And I made the decision not to, and I was so happy after, and thinking about how frustrated with myself I would’ve been if I had eaten one. I’m still happy about my decision this morning, ha!

I deadlifted just over bodyweight this morning

Yesterday was chilly and drizzly here, and for some reason I was craving doughnuts for breakfast (which is not normally a food I am very interested in, so it was unusual and something I was pretty sure was not going to go away without satisfying it). I bought a dozen hot fresh-glazed and brought them into work- yes, I was that person. One doughnut actually satisfied my craving, and was completely within reason for my calorie goal for the day. In the past I would have easily polished off three without a single thought. I can't say I couldn't still do that, but I did stop to think if I really needed to eat, or if I just wanted to eat. Held to one and went about my day, and everything was just fine.

This morning my alarm app failed and I overslept by about 20 minutes, leaving me less than an hour until I had to get to work. My first thought was, "I guess there's no workout for me this morning," but I talked myself into spending 15 minutes moving my body to music by walking in place, jumping jacks, and some dynamic stretches, and it felt good to overcome that obstacle.

I fit into the size 10 jeans that have been hanging out in the back of my closet. And both pairs I own fit - so it was awesome having a choice! And not just fit - a little room to spare. I've been weight lifting for 5 weeks and it's done more for me than years of cardio alone ever did. Love seeing the transformation my body is achieving and the increase in strength!

Amazing what weightlifting does to your body and mind right?! Great work :-)

Not being woken up near as often by wife pushing my shoulder to make me turn to my side after falling asleep on my back (i.e. snoring is decreasing with the continued slow/steady weight loss)

I hit a normal BMI!

For the first time was able to last for an entire 15 minutes on the stairmaster at 27 steps per minute.

my first day on that beast I needed a break after 2-1/2 minutes, but that's because I was set at 35 steps per minute which was pretty high for a first timer!

the second day, I dropped the SPM to 30 and lasted for ten minutes without needing a break in the middle.

before I started the third day of stairmastering, I thought long and hard about my objective for getting on this machine in the first place, and decided if it was going to be an effective tool then I have to train myself to use it properly. In my case, proper use is finding a heart-healthy pace that I can maintain for at least 15 minutes to start and up to 30 minutes as I gain strength and endurance.

I decided to have a chipotle burrito bowl for lunch today and instead of devouring the whole 800 calorie meal ( i always assume the amount of rice they give is double the posted nutritions page, does NOT look like 4oz) I ate half and saved the rest for dinner

I jogged 25 minutes on Thursday (thanks C25K!)
I’m a tiny bit hungover but I got up anyway and went to body pump and even upped my squat weight a bit 😊

This is so sad. I'm old--and my favorite pants are LLBean Perfect Fit Pants. They are comfy--they have pockets--they sit at my waist and not around my butt--I LOVE THEM. So a couple of months ago they had a pair online and in clearance, my others were almost worn through so I ordered my regular size. Today I finally got around to wearing them--and you guessed it--they are too big. And they don't even shrink. I guess my sister is getting them for Christmas.

I had a pair if old jeans that I haven't worn in at least 6 years but I refused to get rid of them. Tried them on a few times but they were just too snug to be comfortable. Today I tried them again they fit! We had a community event that I wore them to. Walked around in them all morning and didn't feel uncomfortable at all!

Organized my closet today and fit comfortably in a pair of size 10 dress pants!

It takes me a much shorter time to walk the same distance with my dog now! Lol but now we need longer walks.
Last time I noticed this happen was when I was walking an hour both ways to school in -17°F. Got it to 45 min by the end if the semester.
