I don't know if there is a thread like this but it's sometimes hard to stop and pat yourself for the little everyday achievements that put you a step closer towards your goal, wether its going for a run,doing p90x, turning down desert
anything.

I'll go first

I burnt 826 calories today because I overindulged, I'm still over by 89 calories but i just want to die right now so i'm going to lay in my bed for a bit and drop off to sleep and work off those 89 calories when i wake up in the morning.

EDIT: STUPID TYPO, can a mod change it for me :)

    wow...after burning 800 calories, I wouldn't stress too much about 89...great job!!

    I am in the process of getting in shape for a 5k, and I ran 2.5 miles straight today-my longest distance yet since coming back from an injury :smile:

    Went to the gym with my friend even though it was supposed to be my rest day. I went in the morning. I hate going to the gym in the morning. Good thing I did go though I went over my calories could have been much worse if I didn't... I hate seeing the red numbers too :(

    I went over my calories today because, after making homemade chocolate chip and walnut cookies for a family reunion tomorrow, I decided I had to taste at least one from each batch!! lol! SO, I went walking in my neighborhood. Now my leg muscles are jumping!!! I feel proud that I made myself get off my *kitten* and walk instead of feeling guilty about the cookies... (which were delicious, by the way!)

    I got up today and went to a new gym. This may not sound like much - but I'm the kind of person who doesn't really like change in my normal routine, so going to a new gym was weird. On top of that, I NEVER get up and go work out - I'm always a go and workout at night kind of person.

    It feels good to sit here at 9:12pm and know that my workout is out of the way already.

    Instead of devouring an entire entree at the Hard Rock, I only ate half of my 6oz burger (I also removed the top bun), and only had about 5 fries. My first eating out experience while trying to lose weight went great I'd say!

    I went to a new gym today too- it was to try my friends gym out they had an open day. I must say I prefer my regular gym soo much more! Did you like the new one??? I am also a work out at night kind of person too well afternoon/ early evenings, but going in the morning today I feel off like I didn't go to the gym I have to remind myself that yes I did go :)

    Not related to weight loss, but I fixed up my 16year old daughter's new, used car. It is an 04 and had very hazy headlights. I used this restoration kit (lots of grinding) and now they are crystal clear. Touched up paint on a few chips and repainted the grill. She was very happy and I was thrilled to do it for her.

    Even though it was my rest day... I did a 20 minute cardio work out with Bob and kettle bells. I needed something to do to take my mind off of a bad situation I'm going through.
