I'm only 3 months in but I definitely have a few....

1. have to leave work on time so I can get my workout in before picking up the kiddos!!
2. logging all of my food and being honest with myself (I used to hide food, eat in secret and not be honest with anyone about my food)
3. If I had a bad day would eat my sorrows away..,.now I stick to my eating plan.
4. Has thought of Crystal Light as a "sweet treat" in the evening!!!
5. Went to a party that I knew I would go over calories at (and I did) but when I was full I left food on my plate and didn't even finish the birthday cake (who am I?!?!?!)

To name a few.....

Never thought of this before 1 year ago I would never:

1) Been able to fit into the "goal" jeans that I bought 7 years ago and was never able to wear.
2) Run the causeway (1/2 Mile high bridge where I live)
3) Actually looked forward to workout days
4) Looked at myself in the mirror and smile
5) Choose the Oatmeal over the Pastry in the morning for breakfast.

Thanks for this I needed this today

Justkeepswimmin

1) Running 5+ times a week
2) Getting grumpy when I can't get a run in
3) Think about songs on the radio, debate if they'd be good running songs
4) No! To the french fries and anything greasy
5) Get grumpy when there aren't good low cal options on a menu ie at a diner
6) Say hold the X, I don't need the calories
7) Take small slices of pie rather than a generous portion, as I've worked the lower slices into my calorie diary

HAHA That was me last week, I was so grumpy from only having worked out twice that week my husband was like " I don't care what doesn't get done, go to the gym!!!!"

I notice I am also a PIA when it comes to restaurants now, and I am sooooo cheap I would have NEVER ordred a second meal at a resetaurant because I didn't like the first one and thought it was not worth my calories to eat it!!!

lacroyx

1) complete a 5K
2) walk up 8 floors of stairs w/o stopping
3) fit into 2XL shirts (year ago I was 4X-5X)

Parking at the far end of a parking lot instead of circling to find the closest spot.
Refusing lunch out at work because I'd rather take a walk.
Look forward to going clothes shopping!

SafireBleu

I'm only a few weeks into this and can relate. Last night I walked/ran on a treadmill while watching The X-Factor. In the state of mind I was in 2 months ago I would have sat on the couch with the bucket of halloween candy and a huge glass of Pepsi and watched it.

Congrats on the changes you have made.

nikkishai

1. Only snooze twice so I can workout before work.
2. "Birthday cake in the conference room" - email deleted without a second thought.
3. It's cheat meal day - no chimichanga for me - half a candy bar will do just fine.

Thank you for the motivation!

A year ago I wouldn't have

1. Jogged two miles to the grocery store to return a redbox DVD after I finished watching it. It's my idea of making up for the sedentary couch time.

2. Thought a wonderful weekend consisted of bike riding with my kids and playing basketball chase at the local park.

fordster99

I never thought I would crave fruits and veggies.
I never would have have had my fiance drop me off several miles from home after an outing just so I could walk rest of the way home.

Congrats on all you have accomplished.

johnny_k
