Post one thing that you succeeded at today, no matter how small!

These little things accumulate, and even focusing on getting one small thing in a day can make a bigger difference than you think- both for your results, and for your mental attitude towards getting healthy!

    Managed to burn off 1,000 calories more than I ate. Didn't stick to 1,200 but didn't blow it like I thought I would before starting properly tomorrow!

    Traded off sweet tea and fast food for water and homemade meals for 3 weeks straight. It's been easier but I really want hot wings and tacos.

    That's awesome!! I admire you! I'm trying to quit fast food and trade my junk food snacks for better choices, too. Homemade tacos sound pretty good!! I make them with fat free refried beans.

    I make homemade tacos and wings and things all the time! It's amazing how you can keep the calories under control if you use less sugary sauces etc., and lower-calorie shells :)

    Thank you! Yes they are and because you get to chose the best ingredients and amounts perfectly, you can get a bigger portion for fewer calories and fat than restaurants.

    This morning I woke up and hit the gym even though I really didn't want to. That's an NSV.

    I'm actually running. I had a personal trainer last year who started each session with the treadmill and I could barely walk at 5km/h. Then I ran on the beach in December but I ran for 30 seconds before stopping and I always felt dead. Chest would tighten, calves pull stiff. But today I jumped into week two of c25k and other than general fatigue I'm great. AND I'm actually running. :) .

    NSV...

    I ran for five minutes without stopping. And I wasn't out of breath or sore or anything like that. Oh and my health insurance has an active rewards program where you get free stuff for meeting your weekly fitness goals. The app sets your goal based on how regularly you meet the goal during a week. 3 weeks ago my goal was to get 150 points. Last week it increased to 200 and this week I need to meet 250 points which I'll probably reach tomorrow or Thursday.

    That's good.
