I didn't go to the gym yesterday. Then, last night I went out with hubby and we had a few drinks and shared a cheese plate. I definitely went over by a few hundred calories.

Instead of feeling guilty, I just enjoyed it, and then woke up early this morning and went to the gym for an hour.

I'm learning to have some indulgences without making it a pattern across several days. Today is a new day, and I'll make healthy choices. Small success!

    This actually sounds like a big success to me.

    It indicates a positive and permanent life style change.

    Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

    As Michele said above, its a lifestyle change - you are not going to stay in for the rest of your life, its how you deal with it that counts. Well done :smile:

    Way to go! don't be too critical and celebrate the small successes. It's persistence in the long term that will pay off. There's nothing wrong with treating yourself once in a while unlike me who treated myself at every meal until I found this website and I started to blend in with the hot air balloons!

    Thanks, it feels good to know I can have a fun night out and then make good choices the next time it's meal / gym time.
