    Logging my food intake and seeing the calories makes me more aware of what I eat. I was up north for the weekend and went grocery shopping. I had a package of chocolate fudge cupcakes in my hand and I watched as my hand put the cupcakes in my cart.

    I then decided that eating those cupcakes would make my calorie count go up way to high and I still had to eat dinner. I took them out of my cart because I didn't even want to know the nutritional value and would have hated logging it.

    Excellent - logging does make you more aware!

    Jeans that fit me a month ago are now SUPER baggy today. Even though the scale doesn't show a difference, other things do! :)

    My prior students coming up to me in the hallway and telling me there is something different about me, other than the hair cut, and they just can't figure out what.

    Amen to this! I was able to go through my closet and find clothes I haven't worn in over a year to wear and had to take them up because they were to big for me.

    I have a bunch of old clothes from when I was a teenager and in the mid to lower 200s that stopped fitting but I never tossed because I liked them. The other day I was going through a box of said clothes to see if anything fit and sure enough plenty did and some were even baggy! The workout pants I bought not quite two months ago that were tight when I bought them are now as baggy as my old pants. I have a Deuce brand watch (it's a silicone-rubber watch) that I had to buy in a smaller band size two months ago and the new size was tight. Yesterday I could pull the band away from my wrist and fit a penny in the gap.

    I used to hate to sweat, I mean, really hated it. It would make me feel like a fatso, dirty, disgusting person. Today, after my workout (gotta love weights!!) I was getting ready to shower (b/c I MUST after a workout) and I looked in the mirror and there I am, red faced and sweating and for the first time, I smiled at myself. Never done that before. So now, I'm going to view sweat as my bodies way of saying, "Awesome workout: good job!" I think I like that....
    :happy:

    1. Ran at 5.5 for 6 minutes straight.

    2. Discovered my scale I've been using for the past month gives the same number no matter what you put on it. i.e. it's busted. Tossed it and didn't care.

    Not paying a dime to lose the 18lbs I have lost since April 6th. After seeing my SIL pay nearly $130.00 for fat burner injections, B-12 injections, and diet pills that depressed her. Only to see her lose 6lbs.

    I once heard a trainer say, "No pain, no gain, BUT no sweat lost means no fat lost" =)
