I conquered two things....last night I stuck to my caloric plan even though we had friends over!
Also, just tried on a pair of pants that were tight (a week ago!) and they feel great!
MFP.... I love you! :heart: :heart:

    Nillalis - so with you! I want to "not have to think about what I am putting on my body". show it off!
    Melissa - burned that little bit of apple to crisp by landscaping - love it!

    Love the mani/pedi!!! Reminds me of a post I saw on MFP about low calorie snacks:

    Just take popcorn seeds, put about a tablespoon in a bowl, put it in the microwave, and cap it with a plate. Boom... 30 calories in A CUP OF POPCORN!

    ****(and use your non dominant hand while eating so you're more aware of what you've eaten)***

    Love it!!

    I hope to conquer staying on track today both activity & eating and getting through the work day without allowing myself to be frustrated! :laugh: Karen

    Today, walked to and from the gym. Had a great, focused workout at the gym. But, mainly, I am feeling an attitude change. I can make this happen!:happy:

    Today I managed to treat myself with only one small half piece of Boston Cream Pie, instead of a whole piece (or a whole pie). I logged it and had also a low cal, fruit/yogurt smoothie to complete my breakfast :tongue: I pre-tracked my foods as usual and so all I need to do is stay on track. I am glad I am learning moderation (still learning).

    Today I walked to and from the gym which totals about 3kms. So a very nice start to the day plus the 45 min. Strength training :) yesterday I walked a total of 10kms. So very proud of myself for that as well. Although I do a fair amount of walking I am trying to hit the 10,000 steps recommended but I only wear my pedometer on actual walks. Have a great day friends!

    I am so inspired by all of you! I work out every day and eat within my goals....until later in the evening. I am motivated tonight to not have unrecorded snackies. (ie dipping into the Goldfish, 5 times!) I'll report back tomorrow.

    I managed to cook tacos and hot dogs for 4 year old grandson's birthday, had 2 small tacos with little beef and lots of veggies, eat only ONE BITE of cake and less than 1/2 cup of ice cream and washed it all down with water and diet coke! And I LOVE tacos and ice cream! Not much of a cake fan though.

    I did squeeze in a 30 minute walk after the party, too! :-)
