What have YOU done today to make you feel proud? (bl)

BrandNewLaura

Today I jogged a little bit more than last night and I did it on the MAIN road...not concerned about people seeing me (okay I was a little concerned about what people would think if they saw me...but I didn't care as much as last night)

I walked a mile this morning before work. Its the first time I've done that in months. It felt good to do it for myself even if it meant not getting to sleep as late as I'd like!:happy:

I took a 30 min. walk at lunch, and I stayed WELL within my calories! I measured EVERY SINGLE thing that went into my mouth today!

Arewethereyet, thanks so much for starting this thread and for personally responding to each post...this thread is like a mini-challenge for me...because every day I think to myself...what can I do today to put on the "make yourself proud" thread? And that makes me push myself a little further than I normally would...tonight while watching TV I plan to lift my hand weights instead of just sitting here...haven't done it yet but I'll feel proud when I actually do it!

thats funny, laura. YOU motivated ME to go for a 45 minute walk! Actually I never made it, I started dancing and danced for 45 minutes. Now I have to figure out what to eat for 286 calories!

Have a great night! Strong arms are beautiful!

I still haven't eaten any of the candy I bought for trick-or-treating (even though the peanut butter cups call out to me every time I walk past them).

banish the candy to the cellar!! LOL.

I am not buying candy this year. That takes care of that....plus I will get extra cardio from scrubbing the eggs off my house and getting the TP out of my trees!!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You always brighten my day! Thanks for this thread & for being such an encouragement, AreWeThereYet!!

Today I am going to Zumba, so that will be fun. If I don't die I will feel proud of myself! LOL

And I had a healthy breakfast ... still thinking about what to eat the rest of the day.

And I wanna know what everybody else is doing today too!

Have fun guys!!

Thursday is a running day for me. We have had terrible fires here (Los Angeles) this week and the air quality is horrible. So I went to my gym and ran 5 miles on the treadmill- I hate running on the treadmill!! I find it very boring, no wind , no scenery and I am very clumsy and am sure I am going to fall any minute - but I did it anyway. Had to do the same on Tuesday as well for the same reason. I am starting to feel more comfortable on the machine - it will be good when (if) it is raining.

:sad: I just had a whole response typed up and I lost it! Ack!

This isn't the whole story, but for the sake of my sanity and unwillingness to retype everything I already typed...I will say that I am addicted to this thread and am sitting here having a hard time coming up with something to be proud of today...had a huge fight with my mom and brother *it's always me vs. them it seems* and had a mini binge on some leftover Chinese food that was in the fridge...but...and this is what I am proud of...instead of writing off the day as a free for all, I accounted for those extra calories and adjusted my dinner plans accordingly. I am within my calories for the day and even have more than enough left for my sugar free Jello pudding before bed.

For me - I spent a little more time on this wedsite and learned alot of good info. Realized that I'm not alone in this journey and there is much support out there!! For today I've actually stayed under my calorie allowance, drink all my water (yuck!) and kickboxed for 60 minutes (it about killed me but I did it). Thanks to all of you out there for your info and support. We shall see what tomorrow holds.:happy:
