So today I made a Target run. They have weights on sale this week so I went to pick some up. My Target store has a StarBucks and usually I treat my son to something if he's been especially good (hard for a 4yr old boy whose mom drags him through every sale rack in the store), and lets face it, I get something for myself too.

So the NSV part: I DID NOT GET ANYTHING FROM STARBUCKS! I went to the counter, ordered my sons hot cocoa, and when she asked "anything for you" I said NO. I'm still in a bit of shock, as I love my starbucks and have always in the past justified it with an "oh, i'll run an extra mile" or "i'll do an extra 20mins of 30day shred". But today I just said no, and I'm super proud of myself:)

Thanks for reading:happy:

    Thanks! yes all of the Target brand neoprene hands weights are on sale. I got the 12lb ones for $13.60 (usually $17) a piece, plus my extra 5%off for using my red card.

    Great job! Those little victories/good decisions mean a lot. I was at my nephew's birthday party last night and I had just one small piece of sub sandwich and skipped the cupcakes, even though I had the calories left to do it. Yay willpower!

    That's a good NSV. Starbucks has always been my reward for taking my girls to the mall ;)

    Everytime I go to Starbucks with my friends instead of getting a cup of CoffeeI ask for Tea... I know...I am the only person who go to Starbucks to get a Tea, but well... I dont care... And in some places they have a Light Apricot Muffin that I would share with a friend so it is not that bad once in a while...

    That's great! Definitely a victory! Now that you've done it once it will be easier to turn it down again. Good job in going to Target to get something good for you too! I hope you enjoy your weights!

    I'm not really a tea person, the "heathiest" thing i ever get is an iced coffee with sugar free vanilla and skim milk, and that's no where near a substitute for a white chocolate mocha frapp:)
