The teeny tiny little successes

... like eating a fruit instead of a candy bar.
... like drinking water with crystal lite, instead of soda.
... like taking stairs instead of elevator.
This is the thread for those. I'm just starting out, so don't have anything to report in weight loss, really... but this thought struck me as I threw myself into an elevator (yeah yeah, I fail on the stairs thing for today), to avoid stopping in at the store where I've spent way too much money on candy, in the last few months.
My tiny success? I ran away from the temptation, came upstairs, and zapped my leftover soup, had my 13 crackers (one portion), and a bottle of water, with a banana for sweet. No candy.
I hope this thread becomes a daily thing for people- just the tiny successes of their day.

I walked past The English Sweet Shop and Cobb's Bakery without going in and am on my second liter of water with no crysal light. I took the stairs down and plan on taking them up (one step at a time) soon (like maybe Monday)0

I ate six Whoppers (the malted milk balls) at work today instead of the whole box.
I also managed to avoid all of the chocolate and Reese's (my favorite) in the bowl.
Plus, I did the entire Gold's Gym Resistance Tube Workout

had a Vitamuffin instead of a snack at Starbucks, and got the skinny cinnamon dolce latte, only 90 calories0

I'm not bingeing on dinner. Am starving (have cut up veggies for a good afternoon snack for tomorrow), and am still doing portion control, with room for frozen strawberries for dessert.0 -
I said "no thank you" when a container of cupcakes (and they looked YUM) was passed around at work today.0

My husband ordered Chinese food and I had some and did not like it. I tasted all the grease in the food. So I put my plate down and grabbed something healthier 0

went to my favorite restaurant, skipped all my normal favorites, and chose a healthy salad, with NO dressing, a little olive oil, and NO extra fluff besides tomatoes! ;P
p.s. I think this topic is such a great idea, you are AWESOME for creating it!0
