This is a great idea! I know, at least for me, a big part of the struggle to lose weight is that I focus on the big goal & focus on how much further I have to go, but I rarely take the time to celebrate what I have done so far.
Not sure if I'll be able to come up with 10, but here goes...
~I no longer have dessert every single night before bed (I bet I use to eat at least 15 points worth of food every night just for dessert!) Now if I am hurgry or want to munch on something I eat an apple or something low-point.
~I pack a healthy lunch for work every day. This serves two purposes: one it helps me stay OP & two, it saves money!
~I eat at least 5 servings of fruits & veggies each day.
~I drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water a day.
~I move more. I am having a hard time getting into a regular exercise routine, but I am moving more. I always, always take the stairs down at work, & try to take them up (unless I'm going to the 12th floor or something!). I park further away than I used to at malls & stores.
~I stay away from the vending machines at work. It's hard to believe, but I used to eat one bag (sometimes two!) of King size M&Ms each day! I'm proud to say I haven't gotten anything out of that darned vending machine (which is about 10 feet from my desk!) since April
~I pay attention to portion sizes. Even though I want to, & sometimes do, I don't let myself make the 1 cup serving a 1 cup HEAPING serving. I realize that 1 serving of chips isn't as many as I can eat.
~I've almost cut pop out of my diet. I used to drink 3 or so 20 oz. bottles of Diet Coke a day. I'm down to one or 2 caffeine (sp?) free Diet Cokes a week now.
Well, that's about all I can think of.... This was a great exercise, Dana. Thanks for posting it!
