I didn't get a soft pretzel with cinnamon and sugar from the cafeteria at work today.

Went to Starbucks and only chose a coffee with skim milk--no food and no muffin or whatever..

I also sent a "love card" (as she calls it) in my daughter's lunch today

I am proud that even though I was up before the sun and didn't feel the greatest....I still got my son to the airport on time, worked out...hard and got to work early. Of course now I am dead to the world and have tons to do, but I guess I have to be the Energizer Bunny...and keep going!!!

Just finished a 2 hr, 20 K mountain bike ride

went swimming for 45 mins and i can feel my core muscles getting stronger from doing my rehab physical therapy.
it's good to feel the payoff and feel how it makes my swimming more efficient.

I am proud today because I made all the arrangements for our family trip in December. Now I can't wait to go.

Also proud that I stayed OP and still have some calories to eat...if I want to!!

I'm proud that I've met my exercise goals every day since beginning my program 2 weeks ago.

I am new and have just started my exercise routine and eating healthy. I actually walked a mile in 20 minutes. I know that don't seem like much to some but was a big accomplishment for me.

kaebea · 05-19-2009, 04:35 PM

welcome autumn. a mile in 20 minutes is a very good pace. that's about as fast as i can walk a mile. it's hard not to in our society (and quite honestly, for all I know, in every society) not to compare yourself with others.

When i swim, there is a high school swim team having swim practice in the lanes beside me. it's very easy to fall into the trap that they and their very athletic swimmers-bodied-foreign-accented coach are sitting there shmirking at my turtles pace freestyle. so i have to remind myself that we all have different fitness levels, goals, abilities and obstacles. The important thing when it comes to fitness is that we are doing a higher level of activity than a couch potato. it all starts somewhere!

So i am proud that i am feeling better and happier and have more energy due to the changes i have made in my diet, and i am proud that i swam 45 minutes today.

I'll join you!
Today I've gone back to my full exercize program after stopping for...let me think...sore throat, cold, cough and knee accident! Ok, I'm back on track now.

I'm proud because while running errands today I did not stop for fast food! I just came home and made a nice salad. Also found out how to make low cal mini banana cream pies!! Very good news because if I bring a full sized pie into the house, I will eat the pie.
