Loving the discussion on yoga and running apps and 30 day challenges! I am not participating in any of them, and part of me feels guilty. The other part of me is just focusing on my successes these days, and not trying to add something to the mix that might cause me to fail (by not doing it!). I have been eating at a deficit for 8 days now, and making some headway in my invoice filing at work. I did order a new workout outfit on-line and it came today. None of my workout clothes were fitting, especially the bras, so I desperately needed something new. I haven't tried them on yet, because I am afraid they won't fit, or I won't like it. I never order clothes on-line!! My foot is still sore, but only slightly, so that is promising.
I have a hard keeping away from that all or nothing way of thinking. It's really is the baby steps .. that add up. WTG .. on your eating, I bet your new workout clothes will look great and make you feel good!2 -

Thank you @countrycreek not too hard when I finally put my mind to it (thankfully my hubby having some high cholesterol worked out for me). We both changed the way we ate and gave up all the junk. Of course he does not have to watch the sugars and salt intake, but it works.3 -
5/2/2019 Mini Challenge
Tracked: Yes
Under: Yes
Exercise: Yes, 39 minutes c25k(week 3 day 1)
Somewhere in the middle of my c25k workout, I accidentally skipped through a walk session about 30 seconds after it startes(I was supposed to walk for 3 minutes), so I just continued and started running again. I decided after the last 3 minute walk, I was going to see how long I could run for without having to stop. I ran through the 5 minute cool down, and then started the stopwatch on my phone. I ran for 12 minutes and 57 seconds without stopping. Then I finished up walking to cool down a bit! I felt really good about that!
Today I DID go and get a pedicure, and it was amazing! It was a lavender one, with hot stones and paraffin wax... now my toes look *kinda* girly for a change! The massage chair that I was in for the duration of the pedicure felt amazing as well! I also ended up getting my fingernails done as well, and I got a nice back/neck massage after I was done! I felt very pampered in there!
We also went to lunch before the nail salon. I had a buffalo chicken salad and we shared onion rings. Also, ended up making homemade pizza for dinner and everything fit nicely in my diary with a little wiggle room if I decide to have a snack!
And l was trying some of my clothes on today, and some things that used to fit me pretty horribly look pretty good now! Some jeans are too big, and even some of my shirts! I do have a Uconn shirt that I got last summer that didn't fit at all, and now does! Woohoo!
Today was just a pretty good day overall and I wanted to share!6 -

Weigh in day- Thursday
Previous- 181.3

I guess I’m doing the roller coaster @ mickey10111 but mind is not in my favor this week. Here lately I’m been doing my exercises and over and under my calorie deficit on some days more over lately. Not to sound self pity but my motivation has been down. I really want to give this month a break. I’ve be been in this weight range waaay to long and I don’t know what to do to break out it.2 -
