    I realize how much heavier I can lift than just a month ago and that I look forward to going to the gym early on a Saturday morning instead of having a lie in.

    When I can negate all emotion and complete a task 100% objectively but at the end of the day I can switch myself back on.

    I make pancakes and put some on my plate, then decide against it and make up a couple scrambled aggs and grab a new plate. Calculated that I just saved myself 260 calories doing that ;-)

    I had a horrible day and took it out on the cardio machines instead of punishing my body with a binge.

    We ordered Chinese food the other night, and I got roasted chicken and broccoli (no sauce) instead of chicken fried rice.

    I have a HUGE bowl of Christmas chocolates on my desk at work, and I've only eaten 2-3 tiny pieces every day instead of half the bowl.

    I went to the gym aiming for four minutes on the elliptical (I'm 311 pounds, and I have knee issues), and I was able to do six minutes before I stopped. If I can keep adding 30 seconds to a minute every day, I can get up to my goal of staying on for 45 minutes.

    I sit and eat with my kids happily devouring a breakfast of yogurt, nutty whole grain toast, and fresh pineapple,kiwi, melon and apple slices(their plates with peanut butter to dip them in)

    Glad we take the time...and hoping to pass along better habits for their future...

    I convince myself at 645PM to go for my 3-mile @ pace run the day before I'm actually supposed to do in order to avoid missing the run or running at 4AM after it's been snowing all night. The things we do to not miss workouts.
