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!

    Was still in my "I wanna be lazy I'm on vacation" mode and didn't want to work out, but I pushed myself and I'm getting through it!!

    Finally got back on track today. Ate totally clean today AND did 15 minutes of HIIT plus 30 minutes of steady state on the elliptical. Then I took my kids to the park AND I got a nap today! Great day! :D

    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.

    I called a friend who had a broken heart and spent the day playing with my kids. That way trumps any fitness stuff I did today (though the fitness stuff made me proud too).

    I did like the new one. They have a lot of machines my current gym doesn't have - including one that supports your back while you do squats. I love to do squats, but can't do them anymore because of my back issues. So, having a machine support my back while I did them was FANTASTIC!

    A few months ago I went with a girl I work with to her gym. HATED IT. Absolutely hated it. I couldn't wait to get out of there that night. She always wants me to go back and I won't go with her. I've told her it has NOTHING to do with HER - it's her gym I don't like (that sounds like a typical break up line doesn't it? "It's not you.. it's ME!" LMAO).

    I'm going to try out one other gym before my current membership is up at the end of the month and see which one I want to go with....

    I didn't mind working out early. The gym was empty while we were there - so it wasn't too bad. Well, except for the getting up part. LOL

    My wife went on a shopping trip today, so I got up early to go for an hour long bike ride before she left. Then I spent the entire day with my kids! Took them to the pool to burn some more calories :-)

    I ran 12 miles with my marathon training group and I finished with the group. The previous two years of training, I would fall behind the last couple of miles. It was a big NSV for me to keep with the group for the whole 12.
