I had surgery on my foot last week, and have been mainly sat on my backside since with my leg up in the air; I've hobbled about indoors on crutches, but if I've left the house Hubby has borrowed a wheelchair for me.

I've really tried hard to stick to my diet but knew there wasn't going to be any loss this week, and in all honesty I was expecting a slight gain as I've struggled to stay within my calories.

I LOST 1½ POUNDS!!!!!!

I'm proud of myself today - what's made you feel good?

    I went for a nice long run in the rain this afternoon! I remember thinking that it was a terrible idea on the first mile, but on my second I felt fantastic and the rain was so cooling! Just shows you gotta get out there and do it!

    Finished an 8 hour shift at work and pulled enough energy to go for a quick 20min run. This doesn't happen very often

    I took 5 weeks off from weight lifting because I was visiting other countries. I came back and had to rebuild some strength gains. It took nearly 3 weeks (session from 2 days ago) to finally beat my previous personal record on just two of my exercises. Today I made several more new personal records. I'm back on track! I also put in an hour of cardio today as well. I've traditionally made those separate days but today I was on a roll!

    I realized a few days ago that I used to gasp for breath and feel like I'm dying when I get my heart rate up in the 70's. Now I can text and while riding a stationary bike with my heart rate in the 80's and I can sustain 90's for a good while too without losing breath.

    Sadly, nothing so far. In a miserable mood, have cold, etc. etc.
    Will kick some butt later and collect some proud points though.

    I was involved in a car accident yesterday morning (no one was hurt thank goodness). Usually I would immediately hinge because of such a stressor, but I didn't!! Just made me realize I can do this!!

    This was yesterday, BUT.... I saw a pack of donuts on the kitchen counter and mindlessly started opening them. I thought one wouldn't hurt. I flipped the box over and saw that eating one would put me over my calorie goal. Of course I was giving myself excuses to eat it and went back to opening the box. One wouldn't hurt, right? Wrong. As I was reaching for the donut I came to my senses, closed the box, and ate within my calorie goal for the day.

    Sounds silly but I was able to button my pants!! LOL since having my baby 8 weeks ago my work pants (the kind that do not stretch) I have not been able to button the top two buttons on any of my pants. Well finally not only did they button last night for work but they are loose in the front. Best feeling in the world!
