Super stressed at work today and ended up eating a few chocolates and one of those JUMBO marshmallows, lol. People at work really don't care about fitness or eating well or calorie counts AT ALL. (Pizza and sweets daily, maybe one other woman brings a lunch every day like I do!)
Instead of heading home to mope on the couch, I went and did 1:15min on the elliptical @ my gym and the counter said I burned over 1000 calories:D (I know its overestimated, but I worked hard and used the highest levels and intervals, etc... the elliptical on here put it at 700 which seems about right?)
Also, after months of hating literally everything I try on, my Old Navy Black Friday order of some cute new tops arrived - and I actually LIKE them all!
I feel silly for being so excited about those 2 things, but I am. And I had to share with someone, lol

I totally know what you mean! I had to spend most of the day traveling for work, so my eating was pretty skewed. Once I arrived at the hotel, I got a oily, saucy stir-fry from the Hotel food service. I felt so gross and loaded after, i just wanted to lay down. Instead, I gave myself a half hour or so to digest (read a few success stories on this site), and then I hit the gym here at the hotel! I feel so happy, and it seems silly! Maybe cause I know, 7 times out of 10, that situation ends with me watching tv in my room feeling gross! lol exciting to see a healthy change!!! Good for you, and right on for rockin new shirts!!!!!0

Those two things were actually not silly or small or whatever - they were huge, and they're in your mind and in your heart and showing on your body! Keep it up!! You're doing GREAT! MFP has made a believer out of you, there's no stopping you now, you're ON THE TRAIN!
