    My small success today is that I actually got some exercise in. On another note, I really have started to take control of my eating and met with a friend to go over a diet plan based on eating whole foods. Excited to get healthy again after a year recovering from a car accident. Today was hard, but really good :)

    Like many I went out to Lunch today and had a grilled chicken chibata (sp)? Sandwhich at Coco's, and usually I would inhale the entire thing. Knowing that it was high calories for one meal I decided to eat half for lunch and save the other half for dinner. And to my amazement I ate half slowly chatted with a friend over lunch and realized I was full and content and not shifting around uncomfortably and then about 5 hours later I came home and got to enjoy the delicious sandwhich again and not blowing my daily intake out of the water and more importantly I felt great ...No guilt. Minor sucess some may think but to many this is a huge step and lesson in portion control and will only help matters in long run. <3:smile: Congrats to everyone posting here on our sucesses big or small. * clap *

    Although I really really did not want to and felt super tired, I did my aerobic workout in my living room for 60 minutes. And now... wide awake!

    Today makes 1 month of working-out with no long breaks, just a 1-2 days. Huge improvement considering I would take weeks off because of lack of motivation.

    Realizing that fresh fruit has such a huge impact on my daily energy level. Ran out today and couldn't stay awake even with 7 servings of caffeine. Stopped by the grocery store on the way home from work and added a banana and some strawberries to my dinner. I felt better, and ready to workout, almost immediately. Never again.

    No chewing or spitting, and no binging or purging! Feeling confident and in control.

    My small success was during dinner. I made one of my favorite foods, red beans and rice, and I managed to NOT eat the half the pot. I actually had about 2 cups, which is a huge step for me. I love red beans and rice so much that I would eat it even if I wasn't hungry. Lol.

    instead of eating my lamb gyro pita bread, I fed it to some squirrels. Then dozens of squirrels came and I had to run away.

    :laugh: I'll probably have nightmares about that one!

    My small success was getting the dry half of my smaller pasture mowed today without tearing up the tractor or shredder deck. The other half was soaked by a broken water main that was repaired last night. Now I have to wait for it to dry before I mow.

    I was crossing the street (actually an avenue) and the light was about to change so I had to hurry, I was able to sprint across without getting winded or anything aching afterward. It was an awesome feeling. when I lose another 20 pounds I plan to make jogging part of my routine.

    That stupid 1st mile stinks even when you've been running a while.
