    Ice cream and Oreos! My brain was screaming for both on the way to my daughter's swim practice. Said no to both and walked 3 miles instead! WIN!

    I said NO to a Sonic Cherry Slush Drink (at Happy hour) and had a half sweet and half regular tea that fit into my calorie count for the day....

    I have been eating a lot of cereal out of the box, as a snack at work. Over the weekend, I decided to just take a baggie with a premeasured portion, instead of a new box. So I guess I didn't really say no, since I didn't have a choice, once I was there. :laugh:

    Then, I worked late, and when I got home, my hubby had made chicken fingers. There were 3 left. I had one, and actually went over to the counter to get another one, but I said NO, that's enough, and wrapped the other 2 back up.

    I need more days like today!!

    I was buying ink and grabbed a packet of Twizzlers on my way through to the check out....theeen promptly left them by the cash register instead of purchasing them. Yay for coming to my senses!
  • One of the guys at work brought in some delicious looking cupcakes - it wasn't easy but | said no thanks

    I said "no" to Pizza Hut at work tonight. I find that work is where I get off track the most, so this is a great accomplishment for me.

    I said 'No' to the Shake N Bake Chicken I made for my boyfriend. Had originally intended to eat some, then look at the box and realized the sodium was enormous. Instead I made myself a small salad and a protein shake. I feel much better just knowing I can resist food temptations!!

    I said NO to a:

    carne asada torta.
  • OMG... today was huge for me. We were out of town... so that's one strike... but everything I did was with my health in mind. My sandwich was cut in half and I ate half at lunch and the other half for dinner. There was Cinnabon right there... my ultimate weakness. I kept seeing people walking around with huge oozing buns of cinnamon wonder... and I just kept strong. I also had water all day today even though we were out of our element and I usually allow myself sodas... I'm growing... lol

    I said no to McDonald's to my daughter and went to Auntie Anne's instead - had no clue what calories were, but split an original pretzel with her and I had water. When I logged it, it showed only 170 calories!

    Banana Milk shakes and chicken strips from 2 co-workers eating in front of me and another one eating a breaded tenderloin with french fries! It's soooo hard to work in a medical office! But, I did it!

    I went to the grocery store today and my hubby asked me to make cannelloni and/or manicotti and I said "no" because I don't know how to make those things in a healthy tasty way.

    When I got my 3PM "snackies", I said no to chocolate cupcakes!

    Today and for the next 3 days I'll be in an all day meeting where they have been catering in breakfast and lunch.

    Today, I did not partake in the pizza and cookies. I brought my own lunch in (ate b-fast at home).

    And that's the plan for tomorrow and the following days. =)

    Passed up going out to lunch with the boss man today... I'm sure it would have been a lot better than my little piece of turkey breast and cottage cheese but I wasn't willing to work hard enough tonight to offset it! Oh and I passed up the cheese on my turkey sandwich! WOO HOO! Go me!

    I've found that during my weight loss journey I have had to rethink food choices in the moment. What I want to know is what your victory (or victories) were in saying NO today!!

    I said no to:
    -Eating out (help from the hubby on this one)
    -Starbucks
    -Eating over my calorie goal of 1200 just cause.

    Can't wait to hear your successes!!

    WOW!! WTG!! you said "no" to starbucks?! I need your motivation! i thought about giving it up for Lent this year but then rethought it because it's the ONLY thing that doesn't make me think or do crazy things!! :) but for the record, i said NO to dark chocolate coconut candy today...

    My method in saying no to Starbucks is either "I can make this at home for a LOT less" or "I honestly don't want to put this in my body."

    Personally, I am not allowed to ingest any caffeine until I find out about my kidney so that makes it much easier :D
