    Finally finding a green smoothie recipe that involves kale that does not make me absolutely gag. Its not the best smoothie in the world but I can finally have a way to eat kale and not want to spit it out.

    I drove to the gym with the intention of swimming a mile. The parking lot was really crowded and I didn't even get out of the car but drove to a different branch of same gym that has a heated outdoor pool.

    The heater wasn't working. I swam a mile anyway.

    Yes, it was 60 degrees out but we DID have a freeze day Friday.

    This is deffo something to be proud of! That is amazing!

    For me, it was avoiding the donuts that the recptionist brought to work today.

    Haven't posted in a couple days but I am proud because I was able to go out to dinner one night and stay under my calorie goal and I went out to dinner again last night and did not eat the healthiest and did go over my calories but I am not letting it get me down, or freak me out, or deter me from being on track. It was a delicious meal and I am totally fine with having it! One "unhealthy" meal isn't going to kill me or keep me from losing weight.

    Deciding to have two packs of little Debbie swiss rolls, plus a large blueberry muffin, and not only feeling zero shame or guilt about that, but also stopping when I wanted to with no desire to continue on just for the sake of eating sugar.

    Knowing my past self, this is huge.

    Today my proud moment was looking at my stepometer and seeing that I had done over 10000 steps by 4pm. Proud moment number 2 was when my colleague bought me a chocolate doughnut, I scanned the barcode and saw that it contained nearly 500 cals. I made the decision that I didn't want to eat it and waste all those cals on one doughnut. This is a MAJOR achievement for me and I am immensely proud of the way I now seem to think about food. High fives all round for all of us me thinks! :smile:

    I had a horrible day at work yesterday - I mean, the worst EVER - and I did something in my grad school class last night that embarrassed me to death. All I wanted to do after class was over was eat everything in sight, because that's how I usually dealt with anger/embarrassment/bad feelings in the past. You know, emotional eating.

    Instead, I decided to sleep for a while. I ended up taking a "mental health" day today from work and I'm going to the gym later to get rid of some of that stress. Not one calorie consumed.

    For me, this is a HUGE accomplishment.

    I know it is not HUGE. But it is for me. I just filled my last bottle of water for the day and I know I will drink that Plus more.

    Yay for you! My proud moment today was realizing my turkey wraps had more calories than imagined so I substituted the remainder of my lunch with a Progresso Chicken and dumplings soup. So my lunch was yummier than expected. Yeah proud moment was being able to say no to the rest of the wraps and yes to alternative choices :heart: :wink:

    Proud moment for me..at the gym one of the maintenance guys came up to me and told me he liked watching me run as I am always smiling. Now I know what you're thinking...but believe me at my size he would not be looking at me for any other reason lol. Who would have thought I would be smiling when running. I must actually be enjoying exercise

    Rather than have tomato soup for lunch like I wanted (which I make creamy with some milk), I made a wrap with roast beef, cheddar, and light Italian dressing on tomato basil flatbread. It tasted great and was much healthier!

    I turned down a lunch invite (2 of them actually). I stayed at work and ate measly leftover stuff I had in the house and stayed within my calories. Then at lunch someone brought homemade bars and they stayed on the table where I ate and I left them alone. I want to save my calories and enjoy some chips/salsa tonight.

    I bit the lazy bullet and decided that any amount of time to exercise is better than none at all. The day isn't over yet. That means I still have plenty of hours to burn off some more. I'm proud of myself for keeping positive and motivated!

    I completed a 5k, and then did a mini-walk to pass the time instead of just sitting around waiting for the campus library to open. And I parked as far from the rec where the 5k would start as my permit would allow (which was across campus), instead of right behind it, which my permit also allows.

    Good work! ^ ^

    My proud moment was working out for 105 minutes today. I haven't worked out that much since last year; That means my endurance is building!

    That's great!
    For me it was passing up a double fudge brownie. :ohwell:
    This is my second day of eating less junk food because that's really my downfall for not loosing weight. I'm trying to not have any sweets for a while because I know moderation is the key BUT it doesn't apply for my sweet tooth :laugh:
    I tried to allow myself a few blocks of dark chocolate once in a while but it always makes me crave sweets more. I find it easier to just eat fruit when I want something sugary. :smile:

    Some dude at the gym saw me working out, came over and asked ME for help and advice. I guess I finally look like I know what I'm doing! :laugh:

    This morning at work I had some customers in I hadn't seen in 6 months. The lady came in the office first, and she said, "Larro, you look great." Her husband walked in behind her and said, "look at you, getting skinny." That makes all the hard work worth it.

    put on a pair of leggings to go for a walk this morning and had to keep tugging them back up, when I got home I laughed at myself in the mirror, theyre all bunchy and baggy and weird looking now. :) only 12 lbs lost but lots of inches!

    I am now comfortably fitting into size 12 pants! I had to pull out a second "no longer fits" bag today too for my growing abundance of clothes that are now way too loose or baggy. So cool.

    It was very early this morning...I was up til 3AM. Getting ice for my drink and noticed some ice cream that my fiance had bought stashed in the freezer. I wanted to grab a spoon and start diggin' in but I didn't!

    Good for you to take the high road today (the one that bypasses the drive through)! Mine was getting a Lean Cuisine for lunch instead of fast food. Thanks for your post!!
