Boost yourself up! What's one thing you've done so far this week that you feel incredible about?

I worked out for an hour and half yesterday, burning almost 800 cals. Do you see that number? 800?!
:)

I am happy.

Tell me about yours now!

    That's great!!

    I did over 1 hour on the exercise bike at the gym yesterday. Up until a couple of weeks ago I couldn't even do 15 mins (I have a bad knee and it was hurting on the bike). There were a number of times I thought that I was tired and wanted to give up but I just pushed on with it... over 600 calories of exercise later I felt really good (although my hamstrings are a bit achey today!).

    Great job everyone!!

    The one thing I must say I'm most proud of that I have done this week is yesterday my husband & went to Red Lobster and I chose healthy foods. . .and stayed under my calorie goal for the day even with eating out!!! And I only ate a HALF of one of the cheddar biscuits....that may be the biggest accomplishment of my life. . .lol :bigsmile:

    I did 4 rounds in 20 minutes of: 7 x 65# Back Squat, 10 x 15# Dumbbell overhead walking lunge steps (right hand), 7 x Burpees, and 10 x 15# Dumbbell overhead walking lunge steps (left hand)

    I now know which shoulder is the weakest, too (left).
  • I finally got over that bump in the scales and went from 13 pounds lost to 14 pounds lost!
  • I taught my five year old to swim and she no longer needs her water wings - in addition, she's excited about starting her fifth season of soccer. I'm proud of this because rather than focusing on weight and our appearances (as we did in my home growing up - no offense to my mom - love her, but that's the way it was), we're focusing on being active and having fun doing it. I'm hoping that both of my children grow up living a healthy lifestyle and know no different and no other reason for it other than that's just what you do to live a long, happy life.

    I woke up at 4:45 and had an early workout at the gym...about 450 calories. Nice to get it over with for the day so early!

    I usually quit every diet after 2-3 weeks and 4-5 lbs lost because it was "too hard" or "not working fast enough". Which I gain back quickly because I have to "reward" myself for all that hard work.

    Since joining MFP on 7/8/10 I've logged in every day except 2 and have lost 8 lbs. I feel like I'm finally developing a good habit and not just looking for the easy way out.

    I went to the lake with my family and friends (I go 2-3/mo in the summer) and did not drink one drop of alcohol, eat one piece of bad food, or just sit around lounging. I swam back and forth to the no-swim area three times to get my exercise in!

    :smile: I only started yesterday, but I went for a fifteen minute walk with my kids. When I put them to bed, I then went out rollerblading for a half an hour.... I burnt about 400 calories....I am really happy about that.

    I can't wait to start losing weight and sharing the weight los with all of you !
  • My goal for the festival I'm going to this week was to be under 300lbs.

    I'm currently 294lbs.

    Very happy about that. Now I plan not to go back over three this weekend :D

    I was running up and down the stairs this morning and I was tired and really wanted to quit after 20 minutes, but I pushed on for another 25 minutes (45 minute total) and burned more than 600 calories!!! I just kept telling myself I can do 5 more minutes, over and over and I felt good by the end of that 45 minutes!

    I had my alarm set for 4:10 this morning to get up and work out. It went off, I turned it off and rolled over to try to go back to sleep, but I knew I wouldn't get that much more sleep anyway and that I needed to just do it. So I got up and worked out... it felt so good to get my body moving and to know it was done so if I don't have time later today its no big deal. I'm going to try to make it a habbit from now on, everyday to wake up and get it done first thing. I know my body will benefit from working out and revving up my metabolism.
  • I hired a babysitter on Friday night (because my husband is deployed) and enjoyed an awesome 10 mile run with my best 10 mile time ever.
  • I have signed up to this, started using it properly and did my wii fit both yesterday and today for over 40 minutes havind had a wii fit since january - dont believe the scales on it though - put me at a stone lighter than I know I am!
