What made you proud of YOU today?

[PaulaSue]

Dh lost a lot of weight when I was preggo with my last DD (I had lost a bunch before to get preggo with her) and today I finally tied with him. Now to be less than him, he is 6' and I'm only 5'4''.

He used to weigh about 50 pounds more than me and I weigh 15 pounds less than when I met him and got married.

I start a new job on Tuesday and its more casual than the one Ive been doing. I can actually wear jeans! yay. Well maybe not, I went to my closet and tried on my old jeans and they are all too big!!

DH said "ok now you have to stop we cant afford a new wardrobe for you" LOL

I'm proud that I came back to WISH today and signed up for the Biggest Looser challenge!

September always feels like the new year to me (and it's been a LOOOOOONG time since school). I always am the most successful with 'fall' projects, so it's time to get back on track with diet and exercise!

Today I went across town to another Curves because the Curves I go to was closed for the holiday. Then after lunch we went to the ocean front and went for a three mile walk. I am pooped, but feel good about the exercise I logged in today.

Wow....today I am having a down diet day so I am going to reach here to find something I am proud of.

Today I am proud that even though I feel like I am not making great diet choices and even though I feel like I am failing today I made it within my points, got all my healthy checks and I walked for 45 minutes.

So I am proud that I am working through a massive case of PMS to still stay OP.

We were having a bake sale at work to benefit a charity and I resisted all urges to buy those goodies. I just kept thinking "is eating that brownie going to be worth the points you'll lose?" If I had the choice between eating a brownie or having my dinner and a small low point snack later at night..I'm going with dinner and the light snack.

Let me tell you I really WANTED that brownie, but I didn't NEED the brownie.

Hello-
I'm proud of myself because I finally went for a walk after supper and didn't just sit on the couch. I walked for 30 minutes and tried to walk faster than my lunch-time strolls at work.
I'm also proud because I went to Target to try on some clothes that were in their weekly ad. The slacks I tried on were too big. I didn't like the style so didn't bother with a smaller size. I tried on 3 tops and each one was too big. I don't know if any of you watch "What Not to Wear" on TLC, but I've become addicted to it. Not that I dress well at all, but anyway. When I tried on the tops I could just hear Stacy & Clinton telling me to get a smaller size! That felt good.

I'm proud of myself because yesterday I only ate one hamburger at my BBQ and I filled up on veggies. I really wanted that 2nd burger, but I resisted and I am so happy that I did.

Today I am proud of myself for actually getting up and exercising when the alarm clock went off. For WEEKS now I have told myself "Tomorrow I'm getting up early & exercising before the kids wake up," and then I put it off until the NEXT week because I don't do it on day one. Sound familiar to anyone?

Today is my day one.

I am proud that I went out for dinner with a friend and I ate wisely (I think). I had water and chicken fajitas, but I didn't eat the flour tortilla and I didn't have cheese. I only ate a couple of the chips and dip too, so I think I did well. I *WANTED* to eat it all, but I didn't, so I am proud of me.

I am proud that tonight when I ordered chicken strips (9 pts) at dinner, I was satisfied after 2 of the 4 and I stopped eating them (so 4.5!).

I am proud that of all the folks I had lunch with I was the only one to resist the bread basket and butter. I opted for a salad with no croutons....it's a feat at this place, too, as they have homemade cornbread, yeast rolls, blueberry muffins, and pumkin muffins in that basket of sin!

I'm proud that I blew off happy hour, had a greek salad for dinner and swam for 50 minutes!!!

Congrats everyone!!!! This thread is soooo inspiring!

I'm proud for running my FIRST 10km this morning!!!!! Woohoo!! I have been running 5km 3 times a week all summer, and just gradually added distance to them. This morning was my first 10km and I'm just thrilled! The best thing is that I don't feel sore/injured at all. I could almost do it again.....almost!

Hi everyone!!

Today I had a big non scale victory - I was walking down a sidewalk and looked up to see my reflection in a window. I am proud that not only did I keep looking, but that I didn't hate what I saw.

Good for you!!! I had a busy weekend where I went out to dinner twice and both times I resisted the bread and butter. If this was a few years ago, that NEVER would have happened, but I am really starting to eat like I should. I'm proud of that.

 

[tiggerlover]

Absolutely awesome everyone!!!

slk537, gotta love those non-scale victories!!! I had one myself today and it really makes you feel good.

Hello everyone!!!!

Today I am proud that I got back to eating lots of veggies - fresh. I've been relying more on fruits than veggies and I knew I had to get back.

Now...if only I could reduce my salt....

How about you all??

I also try to eat alot of fresh fruits and veggies. Even though you've been eating more fruits than veggies, I don't think that's a bad thing. It's certainly better than eating junk! You are feeding your body nutritious food with plenty of anti-oxidants. That's the important thing.

Do you feel you are getting too many calories from the fruit?

Yesterday, my fruits were: 4 oz. o.j., 1 banana, 1 apple, 1 orange. My veggies were: 2 tomatos, 2 cups zucchini, 1 cup salad (assorted greens).

I should also be eating more veggies.

Keeping with this thread, I am proud that I really wanted the piece of leftover birthday cake that was in my fridge, but I RESISTED.
