Okay WISH pals, can you do this????
I have come to really feel that my attitude/outlook is just as important as what I eat on how much I exercise!
So, my current plan is to make each day better than the last...no matter what seems to come our way....
So, what I do is try to find one thing each day that makes today better than yesterday! If we recognize that we can't go back and change things, we can move forward in all of our goals! :)
Anyone want to join me in this challenge??? I know it is corny and sappy, but I think it really helps! :sunny:

Okay, I will start:
Today is better than yesterday because it is Friday! (yeah, I took the simple one! LOL!)

Okay, not fair...
Today is better than yesterday because I remembered to take my vitamins today! :wave2:

Anyone else?

Today is better than yesterday because...

A few days ago I had gained back 2 of my pounds and I've been feeling down about it. Well this morning, those 2 pounds are gone again! woo-hoo! :hyper:

Today is better than yesterday because I got to sleep in!!!!! (Though the Coffee Fairy must have been sleeping in too, because the coffee I had was hardly worth waking up for!) I don't get to sleep in but once or twice a year, so it was pretty special!

Keep the Faith!

Today is better than yesterday because I've got one more cheat-free day under my belt, and because I'm using holes on that belt that I haven't used in a while (my waist is shrinking!).

Today is better than yesterday because I fit into a size 14 skirt when I was trying on clothes today. Now granted it was super tight :teeth: but still it did button and zip! Since I was in a size 20 in August I was VERY happy! :) Great thread Kamy.

Today is better than yesterday because I crossed off a bunch of stuff on my "to-do list" at work. :crazy:

Today is better than yesterday because we are one day closer to our trip to WDW!!:earsgirl:

Today is better than yesterday because I bought a Mickey sweatshirt at Walmart and it didn't have a 'W' after the size!!:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

I did a 6 mile walk this morning

had a good theraputic session first with myself and then my buddy and we both have positive outlooks starting right now !!!! We are NOT talking negative to ourselves anymore, we CAN and well we already are successful but we CAN continue to be even more so :-)

I found this thread and it made me think positively - Kamy - this is a GREAT thread -

....and by the way you look AWESOME - my friend - I can see that twinkle in the grillman's eye - he likes it too ;)

Today is better than yesterday because I stayed within my points!

Today is better than yesterday because it was Pajama Day at our house and I didn't get dressed in regular clothes until 3:30 p.m.!
It was like a vacation!

Today was better than yesterday because I was in a situation at lunch where I didn't know in advance where we would be eating (attended a academic team competition with DD in another town) and I made a good choice for lunch (salad w/ low fat dressing) instead of the cheeseburger and fries that I was tempted to get! :Pinkbounc :bounce:

Today is better than yesterday because DH and I went to an NBA game tonight and didn't take the escalators ONCE. We took the stairs everywhere and there are a LOT of stairs! :)

Today is better than yesterday because today was the first day of my increased exercise. I walked for 45 minutes as opposed to the 25-30 I had been doing previously.

I love this thread and reading about all of your accomplishments! Keep up the good work! :Pinkbounc

Today is better than yesterday because I found the courage to go weigh-in after not counting points for 2 days. I lost .2 pounds. I didn't go up! :earseek:

today is better than yesterday b/c yesterday I didn't count pts and went to bed feeling awful - too much sugar I'm sure and a heavier dinner than I usually have. Today I'm back OP and I KNOW I will feel better :)

Today is better than yesterday because I am not having too much pain in my ankle, and will probably be able to exercise! (Twisted my ankle Friday afternoon. :rolleyes: Even Pilates is hard to do because of the nature of the stance, and any aerobic stuff was out. OK! Reality check, I had a great excuse to sit on my butt all weekend, and I felt really guilty about it.) So another reason today is better...no more guilt!
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Keep the Faith!

Today is so much better than yesterday for so many reasons! First of all, I already did my strength training and am on my way to Pilates! :bounce:
Secondly, I was in a total funk yesterday. Had a huge pity party and now that is over with and I'm getting on with this thing called life.

Keep the Faith!

Today is better than yesterday because I have time for a few WISH posts, DH is coming home and I KNOW I'm getting that clippie today. Watch for it! It will soon say 10 pounds! In all my time on WISH, (since Feb 2003), I've only had a 5 pounder, so this is huge for me. (actually I've lost 10, but only after first gaining a few extra pounds! :rolleyes: )

Keep the Faith!

Today is better because I am back OP - had a "trial run" Thanksgiving dinner last night with our "small group" from church - great time to be with "family" but I used all my flex points for sure. So today is better - I am back OP and plan to stay that way!
