some success for me

I still have a long way to go on weight loss, I weigh in tonight. However, this is very important to me so I thought I would share.
Today my family and I spent the day at the beach. For the past two years this excursion would have tired me out. I would have been tired and wanted to go home early. Not today! We walked up and down the beach, played chase the wave with our two year old and climbed steep stairs and paths to and from the beach. Before I would have been hot, winded and sore with just one climb to the beach.
We walked around Cannon Beach for a couple hours as well and while the boys had ice cream I happily had a SF iced Americano. I payed attention to what I ate and drank and eventhough, I did not get to workout today I stayed within my calorie limits. I had a piece of cheese pizza but I had a salad too. Before, the fact that I had any pizza would have sent me into the tailspin of why does it matter now and I would have thought I think I'll have ice cream too.Or worse, I would have had just a salad and been mad the rest of the day, probably over indulging later. I think the fact that I felt great for the walking and climbing instead of exhausted inspired me to realize that I was probably o.k in the calorie count and if I wasn't it would not be the end of the world. Anyways, like I said before this is what I want, a plan that I can live with.
I want..my life...a healthy life...a fun life.
I am so proud of myself for not missing a workout in two months and today I got the results I didn't
even see coming That is my success for today!:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:
