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'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!
