    Agreed! I'm proud of the same thing. I used to quit after one mess up, now I still mess up but keep on pushing forward!

    Last night I did 60 burpees, 20 handstand pushups, 50 situps, 40 35lb kettlebell swings, and 80 squats in 15 min and 19 sec. And today- I can still move!

    Also.. paid my bills, filed taxes, filed fafsa- and now i've sat down to study for a few hours. That's a good day off work.

    I couldn't find any overnight steel cut oats recipes online that I could use in my prehistoric crockpot so I made up my own and it turned out awesome!
    1 cup steelcut oats
    3 1/2 cups water
    one small container of sugar free, natural applesauce
    1 tsp vanilla
    1 tsp cinnamon
    a bit of freshly grated nutmeg
    3 tsp brown sugar, optional of course! (I also added a bit of splenda)

    Place pyrex bowl in crockpot, pour water around the bowl but not so high that it will get IN the bowl. Add ingredients to bowl. Stir. Set on low and cook overnight. I woked up to the smell of oatmeal cookies and I didn't have to stand at the stove and cook it for 25 minutes!

    I didn't give up logging after being on vacation for a week where I had no internet and I brought all my meals and fresh food snacks I need to work today so I can get my fruits and veggies in!

    I have gone from 2 raw sugar packets to 1 in my morning coffee.

    I can now do burpees without having to walk my feet up! LOL

    My husband challenged me to 1 chest press at 135 pounds. I was able to do 5!! LOL

    I am wearing a pair of pants LOOSELY that I could not zip or button 2 months ago!! YAYYYY

    Wow, KUDOS to all you with these inspirational posts! Very impressive!

    I am proud of myself today because I have been at this since January 4th and have not given up yet. I have lost 8.5 pounds. I have never come this far before with anything else I've done. And I have a pair of Miss Me jeans I wore yesterday and I felt pretty darn good in them.

    I realized that I have not needed male assistance in opening jars for some time now. I often don't even need to tap the lid.

    I am proud that I have decided to be an assistant coach of Girls On The Run. I can't wait!
    That is awesome! My BF did one of their 5Ks last year and said it was a really cool event. I hope to do one here in a couple months.

    I signed up for my first ever 5K today, if you would have ever told me I would be signing up to run for anything other than cupcakes or beer in the past I would have LAUGHED OUT LOUD and you!!

    It's a neon splash dash and looks like lots of fun, I even created a team, my daughter & some friends are gonna join in! :smile:

    I'm proud that I am having a real rest day today.

    This last couple of weeks have been super stressful in my life with work (my husband and I run a business together so we can't really switch it off when we get home either!).

    But today he is away doing a photoshoot and I got up early to have a long hot bath before work and have booked myself in for a massage at 5pm.

    This evening I plan to do nothing other than eat a nice dinner and relax on the sofa.

    Relaxation is something I struggle to achieve!

    I am proud that I have come as far as I have and that even though I am feeling quite discouraged right now, I have the best MFP support system to give me the kick in the pants that I need.

    I'm proud that I got out of bed at 5:15 and did my strength training routine. I'm proud that I have upped my weights for some exercises to 12 pound weights (on each side). I'm proud that I'm already on my 5th cup of water, and it's only 8:30 a.m.

    1- My dinner last night was not the healthiest and even though after word I felt like crap I still managed to go to my Jammba (Zumba) class.

    2- In that class I never stand in front of the mirror....yesterday I did!

    3- I lost 3.4 pounds BABY!!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    My dedication. I honestly never would have thought I could make it this far. I'm not done, but I'm starting to see that what I've done so far really is amazing. :smile:

    I'm proud that I have been consistently logging my food & excercise on MFP for 46 days.
    I'm proud that I am actually exercising and enjoying it.
    I'm proud that I have lost 12 lbs during the 46 days.
    I'm proud that I have set some realistic goals and am sticking to them.

    This time next year I'm hoping that I will be able to share my progress.

    Have a great day all!

    There are 5ks that end with cupcakes or beer. You could combine your interests. Just saying.

    I'm proud that I havent had coffee or cokes in a WEEK. Hot green tea helps with my coffee cravings and iced green tea is available when I want a coke. It's been hard, but I am sure it will be worth it. (also FB free for a week. that one is probably the hardest!)

    My least favorite exercise has always been burpies. Unfortunately, Jillian Michaels loves them and has them in every workout video I have or hers. I have gone from using the burpie sections to take a water break to doing 6 per set!

    I'm proud of you for this too! I haven't attempted a burpee yet... you give me hope!
