what are you proud of about yourself today?

Today I am proud that I went to the store seeking to buy specific items which the store did not have available to me and I left the store without buying anything else. I actually stuck to the plan. Go me!!!

Today was a late morning and I still went downstairs and did some strength training on the ball, after doing Jillian's warm up for the 30 day shred. Afterwards I started the C25K for the third time, but was able to do all of the running parts easier than before. Amazing what a week of daily cardio will do for you.

well done! I am proud that I did not go over my cals, ate a fruit salad, stopped myself at a quarter of a chocolate brownie.

I went out tonight with my girlfriends to see a show, we had dinner first. I checked out the menu today, (Pizza Express) and found the low cal options. I reisted starters, and stuck to a low cal choice (only 500 cals), and had sparkling water. Kept m diet on track and had the most brilliant night out. Just got home and know thanks to MFP that I am going to lose my weight. I love this website xxx

Today I couldn't stomach another egg (for reasons I won't get into but I am also plain sick of them). I am lazy and didn't feel like going to the grocery store and all I had besides eggs was cheese. So I went eh, I'll eat 1200 calories of cheese and go shop tomorrow.

Then I caught myself being really cranky over something little and realized nope, that isn't going to fly. So I went and bought me some steak.

I'm proud of that because I'm learning just how much what I eat as well as how much I eat affects my moods.

I'm proud that I've acknowledged that I do look smaller and I'm really pleased with that realization.

i am proud that after cheating and eating unhealthily twice last week, I chose to take control TODAY and stop the madness!! I have drank my 1 gallon of water, taken my vitamins, juiced my breakfast and eaten a healthy lunch!! So far so good!! My goal is to take it one day at a time, 1 hour at a time, 1 min at a time if necessary!!

Last night was the first concert that I went to since my decision to be more healthy. My husband and I have been doing the fruits, veggies, beans, and nuts diet for two weeks and started a master cleanse today. Long story short, last night was the first sober concert I attended since high school. Lol. All my friends were partying and I was a good girl with my water. What Iʻm most proud about though is when we all went to 7eleven for the "after concert munchies" and I hung out and didnʻt eat anything. As much as I wanted to, I stuck to my water. Who knows if Iʻll be able to do that all the time...but Iʻm super stoked that I did it once

I'm so proud of myself! I did a 5K challenge to support fight against child obesity. I was among the last group getting back , but made it!

AubreyLeong

Wow...awesome job!! That is so hard when your family is begging you to eat junk!! lol. I'm proud of myself for not making up excuses this morning and went and did my 80 minute workout! Almost talked myself out of it (since I had to work tonight I wanted to be able to spend time with the fam). But oh boy so glad I went...it felt good!

You're fabulous and I'm proud of you...I can't even run .0001k--Go girl! :drinker:

You really made a big stride standing your ground. .husbands sabotage.. they don't mean too..but it stems from a fear that a wife's weight change will change the woman they love or their love for them. Kids do it..because they want to be the center of attention again. there are many reasons...but anyway... you did the right thing... stick with it!!!

I'm super proud of my self right now. I have prepared a huge salad, veggies and baked potato for me and that and other things for the family to eat ( I'm on a 21 days Fast, where I'm only eating fruit, veggies, grains, nuts, seeds and abstaining from processed foods, meats, dairy, fried stuff and other things--just for 21 days). My hubby came home and suggested we go out to one of our favorite junk food places to eat dinner. He said we can eat the healthy stuff tomorrow. I told him no, I want to stay on this. Then he said come-on, you know you want this (he and the children are all slim and trim...I'm the only fat one in the house::blushing: :indifferent:

So, I said, okay.....

Then I looked at myself in the mirror, put my new bigger sized jeans on and they getting to big already in the waist. I said--No, I'm going to stick this out and you guys can go on ahead. This is a HUGE triumph and resisting temptation for me. It's not like 3 weeks is forever and I want to be ready spiritually, mentally and a bit more slimmer by springtime!

Then they all said, we'll pass too and what a great dinner it was. I'm doing this fast mainly for spiritual reasons, but also for my health and I'm thrilled and proud of myself!

What are you proud of today?!?

I didn't touch any of the pizza rolls my husband had for dinner!!

Geegeetoo

I tried cooking with tofu for the first time today and it was a success I will be using it way more often.

I Walked 4 BIG miles today and in not so perfect weather--some of that walk included walking to the grocery store and back carrying what felt like 50 pounds back home. I definitely intended to ONLY do 30 minutes of outside walking, but it ended up almost 2 hours of walking time :smooched: :drinker: :drinker:

NewLIFEstyle4ME

I am so proud and praising God today because I just did a record walk for myself...2 hours straight, about 3.0mph and about 6 miles or so--that's way over 10,000 steps! If it's not a record for me, my feet say IT IS!

I'm making better choices in eating and drinking and even though the gang here are still enjoying lots of goodies and junk, I'm glad for them, I honestly am--but I'm on a mission and my mission does not include those things--so I'm pigging out on my stuff and the fam getting down on theirs and all is GOOD--it truly is. I'm so proud that I'm not interested in giving in and that I'm saying yes to the things I want to say yes to and no to the things I no longer want--so proud of that--thank YOU Lord for giving me the desire to change forever the way I'm eating, drinking, thinking, moving and living:drinker: !!!!

I started a 60 day bootcamp here for spring 2013 challenge of losing 10+ pounds in February...I MADE IT!!! (kinda) My official weigh-in days are on Sundays, but because it's the last/final day of the bootcamp I weighed in and am down thus far this week 1.2 pounds for a total of 9.7 pounds (but my homepage says 10 pounds).

The funny thing is, from the beginning of the bootcamp, the blasted scale wasn't moving from week to week but by minor 0.2, 0.4 tiny oz. Once I started my 90 day bootcamp of no coffee, meats, dairy, junk foods and eating only organic fruits, veggies, grains, hemp protein, nuts and seeds and sprouted unleavened breads and humanely raised, vegan feed from small farms meats when my body calls for it--the scale has been moving doward big-time...5 pounds in two weeks--I'm so VERY proud of that, Thank you Lord!

Today I'm proud of myself for two reasons. First, I went out for a run even though it's really cold and gloomy outside. I originally decided not to go because I had no energy due to an early day at work and I wasn't feeling my best. But I knew I would only feel worse if I didn't go, so I forced myself to get out there and suck it up. The second reason I'm proud of myself is because I ran 10:15 minutes/mile, which while still slow is a HUGE accomplishment for me I usually run closer to 11:30 minutes/mile, so I was so surprised when I looked at my time! Maybe the cold was useful after all lol.

I have family coming into town for Easter, will be hosting Easter dinner, will have kids home on Spring Break, plan to go to a couple of amusement parks, and plan to have an Easter Bunny cake, chocolate and jelly beans in the house. Today I figured out an eating plan to get through the next hectic 10 days. I would have never done this before. I will enjoy myself and indulge a little and there, all while staying in my calorie limits.

I'm proud that I weighed in on Friday (before my official weigh-in day on Sundays) and was down 1.2 pounds--I "snuck" and got on it again this evening (Saturday) and I'm down another .8 pounds--so looking forward to the official numbers tomorrow.

I'm also pleased as punch that my new way is eating is making me feel so much better in every way!

I'm proud that this weekend in spite of fierce weather outside I have gone out and exercised both days.

Girl, I am so proud of you too!!!! I've been walking outside for the past 3 weeks at least 30 minutes, no matter the weather and isn't it amazing how we've avoided like the plague walking in cold or rainy weather...fearing the discomfort or inconvenience--when I've discovered these 3 weeks that walking in the cold and/or rain energizes me something fierce--I am finding that I actually LOVE walking in the cold and/or wet weather even more than beautiful weather. Walking in fierce weather somehow empowers me...not just mentally but physically. How I've ripped myself off for so many years thinking I can't live/function properly or do this or that or don't do this or that because it's uncomfortable/scary/inconvenient/HARD--pffffffff! Just dressing properly and/or carrying an umbrella--WOW!

You ROCK and thanks so much for posting!!!!:flowerforyou: :drinker:
