Big Small successes

baisleac

In the last week I:

* Lost 2.6 lbs
* Ate an actual breakfast every day.
* Went from 13 cigarettes a day to 10.
* Did some form of cardio exercise every day (at least 20 minutes).
* Went from a "huff and puff" 0.8 mile walk in 20 minutes to a "I can still talk understandably" 1.0 mile walk in 15 minutes.
* Only went over my Net calorie goal once.

What are your recent Big Small successes?

I managed to get back running again and have been keeping within my calories. I ran 5K in 31minutes today. Given two weeks ago I had a problem which had kept me from running for six months, I was very happy.

My main reason to answer this is to congratulate you on the cigarettes cut down. I have recently quit (it's been 36 days! Yay me!) and I would advise an app you can have on your screen. It's from the UK's National Health Service but it will work and it's sooo encouraging! Go to:

http://smokefree.nhs.uk/quit-tools/quit-apps/

I don't think you can download it on your phone, but I believe you can use the laptop version.

Congratulations on your journey so far and all the best for the future!

Running the longest I ever have without having to take a walk break. Ok, it was only 15 minutes, but hey, that was HUGE for me!!!

Today was my first day back after being "under the wagon" for a while. I am so hooked on diet mountain dews so I decided I was going to try to cut back to one can a day. I am so happy because today I ended up only drinking about a half a can instead!! So fingers crossed that tomorrow and the days to come will be just as good....one day at a time. Great job to all of you on your successes!!! :flowerforyou:
