    Small victory--

    My friends wanted to go to the Chinese buffet for lunch. This is my favorite place to pig out. I was nervous going in that I would be able to find good choices that were also yummy and not have to just eat salad (which I hate). I also knew that we were going to a street fair tonight so I needed to leave calories for this evening as well.

    I went, ate 1 cup of chicken and broccoli, one pan-fried dumpling, and 1/2 a cup of rice noodles and was able to stop at that point. I totally resisted the urge to go and fill a second plate with fried goodness.

    I am really proud of myself. A week ago, I would never have done that.

    Oh my gawd, that is awesome. Buffets are my weakness. I seriously cannot even control myself. You are awesome - you should feel great!!

    I had three separate classmates of mine come up to me today and ask to join me at the gym when I go so that I can teach them how to use weights and how to do my workouts :) Made me feel pretty darn good about myself!

    I know this will sound twisted on a weight loss site but the fact that I didn't give into wanting to exercise. I'm on a workout break due to a major 5 month weight loss stall. Trying to reset and start again!!Exercise is like crack!! :ohwell:

    was really craving breakfast for dinner, like a French Toast Slam from Dennys (haven't had a breakfast like that in about a year!) and decided to hold off until AFTER I do a long run on Sunday...

    Not twisted at all. It's good to know when to rest and recharge.

    I ate horribly today, however, I logged everything. One of my hardest hurdles has been being truthful about anything extra I ate. I had already decided that today was going to be a cheat day, but I logged everything. Every little thing. It may be small, but it's pretty big to me.

    My large victory was rather small in a sense. I went out to purchase some new jeans as none of mine fit any longer. I told the sales girl what size I was wearing and that I thought I'd need a few sizes smaller. She came back with 27's which translates to a size 6! I have NEVER been that small. The closest I ever got was a 9/10 ... Needless to say I cried. Thanks for asking.

    I not only exercised today, I got in two sessions/types of exercise!

    Another one was that at work today I literally RAN up the stairs from 2nd to 3rd floor and back and it was no big deal!

    Ummmm... does that victory get negated because of the reason I ran up and down the stairs that way? One co-worker was holding the phone after putting in a multiple meal order and needed a credit card from another co-worker who was buying us all lunch today to finish it out. :blushing:

    I sorta got hit on at the supermarket today. In my sweaty workout gear. And I was too shy and muttered something and walked away. BUT it still happened.

    and

    THE PLATEAU IS BROKEN!!!!

    I wanted to snack tonight, instead I had some strawberries and water to drink and told myself I was done eating for the day. Now I have to go to bed so I stick to that!

    I avoided bad snacks and kept my meals portioned despite not having work and class today. I didn't cheat on my lazy day!

    I actually have two wins for today! I was actually planning on going out and cheating on my healthy diet, but I called a friend who is helping me with my weight lose and she helped me go to the gym instead. My second win was that I completed the firs day of the couch to 5K app :D I ran for 8 mins. ( not one after another ) it aint much to most people but for someone who has never run for more than a min. a day its pretty big!

    I went to dinner with my husband to Kyoto Steakhouse....(like a Benihanas). I ate 1/2 my entree and ordered extra veggies,( so I have 1/2 my dinner plus extra veggies) and I only ate 1/2 the fried rice...packed that up too.

    AND refused dessert.

    So now I get some nice teppanyaki for breakfast tomorrow...but best part is I was under my goal! Plus I stopped when I was full, and didnt keep eating cos it was tasting so good.

    I am rather proud of myself atm.

    My win today:
    I'm in the longest plateau of my whole weight loss journey. But today I was weight and measured by trainer. I only lost 1 pound in 2 weeks....... BUT down 5% body fat and gained 2.5 pounds in lean tissue, plus down a inch in my abd's and chest. My trainer said that he could total see the difference in my arms. So even though I'm not seeing the scale down like I want to, I am encouraged by the measurements. Slowly breaking though this plateau. I call this a big win! :)
