    I shared an entree with my husband when we went out for lunch. Normally, I would eat the entire thing by myself (asian noodle and veggie dish). And that I ate it with chopsticks so I would eat slower and enjoy every bite.

    -did not eat dessert
    -did not eat any red meat
    -did not drink any booze tonight
    -I am proud to not cave in and say to heck with it and gobble up everything in site. there's Hagen Daz Vanilla ice cream in the freezer. I know it's there. It will stay there and hopefully someone else will get to it before I do!

    Went to the gym .. and noticed that my biceps/ triceps are getting bigger .. and my chest. My legs are also getting stronger .. so for me that is a big bonus and keeps me motivated to work harder in the future.

    Fit into my old leather belt for the first time in 11 years.
    Also (yesterday) crossed the 3700-mile mark on my mini-bike since Sept. 1, 2012.

    Something I've been wanting to for for a long time. I finally took a day and got up late and then proceeded to do nothing for the rest of the day. And... I don't feel a bit guilty, because i know it will be a long, long time before I can do it again.

    Did over 10,000 steps today (5 miles) walking a wee bit more than 2 hours. Instead of gathering my 5 miles over the course of the day, I knocked them out in one fell swoop. For me, this is tremendous! Also, today is day 8 with NO coffee too. So HAPPY about this!!!! :bigsmile:

    I signed up on here! Also, came in a fraction under my calorie allowance for the day (by 20 calories) so a good start.

    went back to the mountain that started this mission, and got further than the last time. However, it's getting cold and snowing on most of the local mountains, so that was probably the last time until Spring. At that time, I hope to make it to the top!

    It's my birthday and I didn't eat like a total spaz NOR did I restrict myself from enjoying treats either (not that I ever do), but other than sodium craziness today has been a great eating day!

    I was tempted to completely go overboard with eating tonight but kept it reasonable, because I knew I'd be kicking myself if I didn't keep it cool. :)

    This is a really great thread. I managed to get in an extra two laps in my half hour swim. That means I'll be able to go over 1/2 mile in 45 minutes this week. I'm almost at a lap a minute including a little rest time between laps when I really need it.............hey, I'm 63 and keeping up with my husband in the pool. I also managed to get an extra glass of water down.

    This is a HUGE accomplishment, my hubby is just like that...he HATES to kick back and do nothing, so I understand how major this is,,,you ROCK!
