Hey y'all! I thought for day 4 we would do something a little different. I want to share a tradition I started 5 years ago. August 4th has been a difficult day for me since 2008 when I left my abusive (now) ex husband. 8/4 was our wedding day. After feeling sad for about half of the day, I decided I would really focus on the positive, and make the day a really wonderful day! So, this topic update will be all about the happy and good parts of our day!!!
•What meal of the day did you just LOVE? Or, what has been your favorite healthy/low calorie meal lately?
•What NSV did you experience today? A NSV is a non-scale victory. Basically, a positive experience related to your weight loss journey that isn't tied to numbers on the scale!
•What's the best compliment you have received since you've started losing weight?
•What did you do today that made you proud?
•And, keeping each other accountable: What did you do for exercise today?
Have a beautiful day!!!

I didn't eat that amazing today. It was date night with the boyfriend and we had pasta. I don't usually eat pasta so it was a nice treat. I had a tomato basil tortellini which was absolutely delicious. I skipped the bread basket, alcoholic drinks and drank only water. I made sure to leave some food on my plate and doing all that really helped to lower my caloric intake. It's the little things sometimes.

Today looking in the mirror I could see the difference in my body from the last three weeks of working out. It wasn't huge but it felt nice.
•What's the best compliment you have received since you've started losing weight? Not many yet. I suppose it's not such a big difference. I was whistled at by some men today though when I wore my black dress out for dinner.
•What did you do today that made you proud? Decided to walk home instead of take the bus. Get rid of some of those extra calories.

I made a veggie and bean chilli for dinner, with quinoa and fresh corn cobs. I love corn cobs! They are one of my favorite foods! Spread with just a little vitalite mmm they were sooo good!
•What NSV did you experience today? A NSV is a non-scale victory. Basically, a positive experience related to your weight loss journey that isn't tied to numbers on the scale! Today I hit my protein goal, only went 1g over my sugar goal
tracking is making me realise that I eat pretty healthy after all - and I feel good about that (also, today I came on my period, and it made me realise that bloating is probably the reason I'm not seeing any difference in inches - I'm excited to measure again in a week and hopefully see a difference!)
•What's the best compliment you have received since you've started losing weight? I've had a few compliments about my arm and shoulder muscles.. I can definitely see a difference.
•What did you do today that made you proud? Nothing special, but normally I would use the first day of my period as an excuse to binge on chocolate, ice cream and crisps, but I didn't! I had a vegan gluten free donut for dessert and stopped there!
•And, keeping each other accountable: What did you do for exercise today? Just cycled to and from work. That was enough for today haha!0 -
What meal of the day did you just LOVE? Or, what has been your favorite healthy/low calorie meal lately? I was pretty happy with my lunch yesterday mostly just because it was something I threw together on the fly. I took half a roasted chicken breast that I had in the fridge, sliced it really thin and put it on a slice of really good Tuscan bread. I topped it with baby arugula and yellow grape tomatoes and thin provolone cheese and put it in the oven for for a few minutes. I served it with 2T Tzatziki (cucumber yogurt) sauce that I had in the fridge. It was really yummy!

This was a huge accomplishment and I could really tell how much stronger I've gotten.
