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

I feel good today because this is really starting to feel like my lifestyle and I find my thought patterns about food and exercise really changing for the better.
And tonight hubby & I are going to take a swing dance lesson from my daughter and son-in-law and then dance for a couple of hours. I never thought exercise could be so much fun.
What's everybody else doing today ... c'mon ... we wanna hear about it! :flowerforyou:

LOL Well I actually don't have a problem with sweets luckily...that's not my downfall...it's usually the leftovers that get me...it's the food that I can resist when my family eats it the first time around, but when I open up the fridge to get my water bottle or a small healthy nighttime snack I see it and just go wild...besides, three sets of people lighting a fire under my butt sounds like a good number...four might just make me strangle someone :P *and technically I consider the people in this thread to be my 4th group of butt kickers...because I know Jeannie will worry if I don't pop in here at least once a day lol

Ooooooooookey doke!!
I know what you mean about leftovers-- I've struggled for years cleaning my kids' plates. I would shudder to know how many calories I've eaten in my 18 years of motherhood by cleaning their plates, finishing their sandwich crusts, polishing off their half-eaten ice cream cones, or hamburgers from McDonald's because they only liked the french fries-- {{{shudder}}} See? I shuddered anyway. :bigsmile:
Well, you hang in there sweetie-- you're really doing a good thing for yourself!!0 -
:sad: :sad: :sad: Um.....I would like a strawberry dance please from AWTY....:sad: :sad:
I've never been able to post on here....it's hard for me to share the good things I've done....weird I guess..but for some reason I can't ....... so why can't I? any idea?? Cause I would like to get the strawberry dance but I know you can't get that special dance from AWTY unless you post something good you did....
WOW....as I reread that.....ok, that is a bit strange come to think of it, knowing I'm doing well, but can't type any of it in this thread?
FREAKY! Like ahhh HALLOWEEN FREAKY:noway:

YEAH ... get yourself here for next Friday night!!! .... no wait, come on Thursday and we'll go tear up the Zumba class!! :happy: :happy: :happy:
And I am most definitely going to be wearing that pretty pink Polar F6 a lot ... even though pink doesn't go with a whole lot of my clothes .... hmmm...... :laugh: :laugh:0 -
Good job EVERYONE!
I walked 2 miles on a really sore foot. It's been sore for weeks and I cannot get it to heel. I tore a ligament BUT....I still did some walking!!
And I drank TONS of water!!0 -

YAY!! Way to go Laura!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
I've been doing well for a couple of months because my life hasn't been particularly stressful or upsetting in this little stretch of time (and because this community is so incredibly helpful & supportive!!) but I know what that whole emotional eating/binging thing is like and it's only one day at a time that is keeping me from going there again.
I've been reading a really good book called "Life Is Hard, Food Is Easy" by Linda Spangle. I swear she must be inside my head hearing what I'm thinking ... she really gets to the heart of the issue and it's super helpful. At least I think so....
Whenever those leftovers start calling you, just come on here and talk to us!! We'll kick your butt or give you a big hug ... maybe both! 0 -

Very true, I look forward to your daily posts Laura. I get to see your smiling face, and hear you positive outlook. You are very important to me and an inspiration.
I am lucky,I do all the cooking! I wont be serving tofurky to my poor family, but I will be using OVOO, very little butter, seasoning with low sodium broths instead, serving whole wheat rolls.
Here is my plan of attack for the munchies- I am going to make my 'later' plate right after dinner. I KNOW I am going to eat it, so lets know what I am eating. I will put a serving, or less, of each thing that is good for me...and a little of the not so good. Then when I dive into the fridge later on I will have my plate ready.
Thanks, laura for making me think of this. It is going to help me a lot!!

Majic, that is fantastic! I hope the doc said it was ok to be walking on it. I think the biggest part of staying with it is not making excuses. You did great!
Mr mushroom says you ROCK!

LMBO I sing the song EVERY time I come into this thread LOL!
Today I am proud because I am now eating my snack...sugar free pudding cups...and I will have 132 calories LEFT OVER! Today is binge free day one!
I just got home from church...and spent my 40 minute drive home in some desperately overdue time with my Heavenly Father...
I bought a yoga mat earlier today...plan to use it tomorrow...didn't binge...stayed in my calories...and tried on a sweater in a size 22/24 and it FIT! It must run big because everything else in the store in that size wouldn't ever fit me...but just knowing that for that one moment in time I was a 22/24...wow...that's enough to keep me proud for like a month!
AND I bought a pair of size 18 dress pants that would split if I put them on now...but they were only $7 and I know they will fit me in a few weeks...
Lots to be proud of today...thanks everybody...you all rock...you all super rock! Thanks to everyone who picked me up and kicked me around a little yesterday...apparently it was what I needed...it really is one day at a time, and while I may not know what tomorrow holds...I KICKED TODAY'S BUTT!0 -

OH-- ummm-- golly-- not sure what line I'm supposed to sing-- 'splain?
Proud of today-- hmmmmm-- let's see-- most importantly, I guess, was I was able to comfort a very good friend who just suffered a great loss--
Beyond that, I didn't indulge in the brownies my kids baked, ordered my whopper junior without the mayo (I always forget to do that!!!) And didn't finish my two year old's french fries-- all in all, a good day.0 -

Whew ... I just got home after a LONG day, but I stayed within my calorie limit even though I was out and about and didn't have any choices at dinner ... I just ate a little bit of a few the fattening southern style dishes and came out okay. Didn't exercise, so I'll count today as my day off and prolly Zumba tomorrow.
Lots to be proud of today y'all!! Let's make tomorrow another great day! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -
