    I haven't been able to run in years due to gnarly shin splints. Turns out that the reason I had them was all my extra weight. Now that I've dropped 40 pounds I can jog without ending in excruciating pain. It's pretty awesome!

    Today I took the kids to a restaurant for lunch and ordered fish -n- chips (which are actually fries here in the States). I substituted steamed broccoli for the fries and applesauce for the coleslaw and was perfectly satisfied. I have hope that I can start eating out again and still stay within my calories!!

    Awesome! Great job! It gets easier as long as you are comfortable ordering and asking for what you want. I had lunch out with friends on Friday and the server brought a brownie sundae to celebrate a birthday, even though we said no dessert. The old me would have eaten it because it was there and I wouldn't want to offend by leaving it. This time, I had one tiny bite and walked away from it happily.

    I looked at the dessert menu and then said no. I told the kids the next time we'd come and just order dessert. They have dessert "minis" which are actually a nice portion without overwhelming calories. I don't know why they're called "minis," because they're not that small. Though maybe the old me would have been disappointed at the size.

    Yesterday, I turned down happy hour drinks with a friend I hadn't seen in a while because I wouldn't be able to get my 3 runs for the week in otherwise. This from a gal who used to make any excuse to cheat on food (not on my workouts b/c THAT was non-existent until this year!!) Feel GREAT about the decision today, and found out I get to see this friend this weekend anyway!!!! I feel like things could be turning around for realz this time:)

    I just came back from Vacation and started tracking my food again, which is great because usually after a break it takes a long time for me to get motivated again :)

    I had an NSV that started from diet failure. I went 350 cal over goal at dinner (curse you, General Tso), but I was determined to end the day in the green. I figured it would take me 90 agonizing minutes on the stationary bike to burn it off. But to my surprise, I was able to sustain a 16.5 mph/145 bpm pace for 60 minutes relatively painlessly. Eight weeks ago, 20 minutes at 13mph was the absolute limit of what I could do.

    Oh, man. Well done!!!

    Today I wore size 16 pants and a L shirt to work. A year ago, I was wearing 26/28 and a tight 3X.

    I mitigated a binge by moderating my calories for the rest of the day. I only ended up *slightly* over my goal for the day. I also made it out for a walk, which I should be doing everyday but haven't managed in a while. A neighbor whom I don't recall meeting before saw me and said "There she is! Where have you been?" Knowing that I am, in fact, NOT the only one who knows if I get my walk in should help motivate me to keep it up!
