So, seeing as we (and by we, I mean the human race, not just the lovely people on MFP!) are always so quick to chastise ourselves when we slip up ... what have you all done today that you're really proud of?

Mine is:

1) Not buying that packet of Skittles on my lunch break, even though I did put them back at the last second when I was at the front of the queue!

2) Dragging my sorry self to pilates despite wanting nothing less than to spend an hour on a mat contorting myself into painful positions!

What about everyone else? Anything at all, big or small - doesn't even have to be fitness related!

    I exercised a lot & I didn't go over my calorie goals.

    I've been teaching my 6 month old to use her sippy cup. She still insists it's for chewing, but I am proud that I am at least not giving up on it! She will get the hang of it soon! And then I'll be proud when she does. =)

    Not Andrea Yatesing my children...(don't judge unless you have had at least 4 kids, ranging from 2-13) This is a major victory every single day. j/k only every other day!

    Oh and I guess logging my food, even when I don't eat the greatest!

    Woke up 6 AM to work out (I'm not a morning person.)
    Despite being stressed, didn't take it out on a loaf of banana nut bread I baked for my son.

    Despite being tired from the weekend, I ran 2 miles even though I told myself I'd go easy on the treadmill today.

    Having a depressing time and a friend went to Olive Garden for lunch. Tried to temp me into allowing her to buy me a dessert. I decided that although the taste would be dreamy, the after thought of the situation was not worth it. Turned down free dessert. I am proud of myself for that!!

    Not buying M&Ms in the shop that sells American goodies. Saved my bank balance as well as my waistline.

    Nothing to proud of yet today. But I see good things coming later in the afternoon that I can report about.

    I did 6 week 6 pack while my son napped and my daughter coloured, even though I really didn't want to. But I knew my husband is going out tonight so I won't be able to do it later.

    Although I did eat a donut for midmorning snack, I jumped right back on the bandwagon and had a healthy lunch. In the past I would have said *kitten* it, I already messed up my day, may as well enjoy it.

    But not today! Back to healthy right away!

    While my daughter is in her theater class, I joined a small gym nearby and workout. Beats sitting around gossiping with the other moms. haha Plus I feel so much better after working out than listening to garbage, complaints.

    I dread going to the gym, but truly feel 100% better after. So I try to think how I'll feel better after vs how I feel before.

    I was able to get right back on track after having a bad food day yesterday, and I actually went to the gym, which for me is a huge deal since I usually avoid going because I am self conscious.

    I also ate a donut this morning--AND I missed my workout b/c I've been doing several 90-minute cardio days in a row and I'm burned out. Nutrition fail. But I'm proud that I've eaten healthy the rest of the day and made a date with my husband to do a 3-mile walk tonight.

    I helped a guy start a new business sealing driveways by writing a business plan.
    He's an immigrant from India with a nice family, and it's great to get a man started down the road of success.

    Went to the gym during my lunch hour and used the stairs all day instead of elevator.
