    I have this weird phobia of going to the gym; I used to get teased in school when I used to go. So I usually go walking outside, but recently I've been getting stopped by shady men, so now I'm too afraid to go walking around my neighborhood. I'm too poor to go to a more private gym, and I was feeling defeated. Today, I noticed I only had 40 more minutes till I met my weekly goal. I pulled myself out of bed, and I ran in place for 40 minutes. It may not be fancy, and it may not mean a lot to some of you, but I'm proud of myself for this small win- it will definitely contribute to my huge success.

    regarding your phobia of the gym. You are not alone! I also had issues joining a gym, a lot of folks do, but I forced myself to go sign up for a free week VIP pass @ Gold's. You know what? It wasnt bad at all! After a few days you relize no one is watching you and figure out the equippment pretty quickly, if you have questions just ask the folks that work there. Also not everyone is a body builder or in great shape.
    I am now going Six days a week and love it! I have no excuses. Access to any piece of equipment I need.

    I pulled a pair of jeans out from last year...with trepidation...because they were tight and I hated they way they fit last year. I pulled them on and they fell to the floor. :flowerforyou: Small win, but it felt great!!!!

    I wanted a chocolate bar - I ate a chocolate soy pudding instead (110 calories, 1 g fat)

    I wanted to go home after work and take a nap - I ran 6.5 miles instead

    BIG WIN for the day: I hit and surpassed my 120 miles of running goal for the month of August with 124.3!!

    This morning, I was finally able to fit into my old size 6 pants again after 3 years of being overweight (after 2 babies). It was a little snug just a few weeks ago, but now it fits perfectly. Two more sizes to go to get to my goal of size 2. I know I can get there.

    Three mornings in a row getting up early enough to start the day with a 1.5 mile walk (and 2 weeks of walking .5 mile at lunch everyday).

    Fantasy Football Draft at work last night, Everyone put in 5 bucks for pizza. I didnt, drank water and ate a protein bar. Then I left before my last two picks so I could make it to the gym before it closed

    The last two picks are CRAP anyway

    Today is the fourth day in a row that I exercised. I have a problem with motivating myself to exercise.

    REALLY wanted to sit out on the deck and drink a shot last night, went for a 3 mile walk instead, and even ran part of it. Such an NSV for me. Love reading everybody's small wins. :happy:

    I've lost enough weight that my sweat pants won't stay up and I keep walking on the legs.

    I agree but last year I would have stayed until the end and probably ate 3 slices. LOL

    I saw my manager for the first time in about 6 weeks today and the first thing she said was "Have you lost weight?"

    This morning at work I was faced with a bowl full of munchkins (you know, the Dunkin Donuts kind -- not the Wizard of Oz kind ) and ate just ONE. :D
