As I start on this very long, hard path of weight loss.. I find myself needing to applaud even the smallest of successes! Today, I pleased myself when I didn't order chips at Chipotle, and actually ate a healthy breakfast of fiber-one cereal with a banana. What did you do today that was good - even if it's something as small as avoiding tortilla chips at a restaurant?

My stepfather sails, and I got guilted into going to their Yacht club barbecue today. Father's day, after all! It sounds a lot fancier than it is.
But I knew I was going to the movies and was going to have buttery popcorn, and I knew I'd just eaten a 6 inch sub, and I wasn't really hungry... and I sat back, drank a soda, and didn't eat a single thing.

I went for a 30 minute walk instead of sitting on my butt in front of the TV after dinner. (even though I really wanted to!!) I also managed to say no to a slice of my dad's Father's Day cake his wife baked for him, even though they were being pushy about it.

This thread makes me happy!

Yay, Jelbb! Sounds like you were able to pass up on a LOT of temptation.

And Starry - passing on cake is huge!! Few women can resist cake... That reminds me, I actually made a WW recipe Diet Soda cake last night for a dinner party.. and THREW THE REST OF IT AWAY this morning!! Unheard of for former-me... but new-me has to get used to tossing out the bad things! Good work ladies!

My fiance and I went for a hike and he wanted to do the short 2 mile trail...I was sneaky and the map holder so I parked at the farthest lot from the 2 mile trail so we probably ended up doing 4 miles...muahahaha...

Also, for breakfast I REALLY wanted to go get a bagel, but stayed strong and had 2 eggs at home instead.

Um...about the only good thing I did was take my vitamins yesterday and drink a lot of water...the rest of my day consisted of watching a lot of bad reality tv, homemade banana cake and chinese food...d@Mn PMS!

I exercised yesterday - 30 mins of HIIT biking, even though I didn't want to.

I went to the Ben and Jerry's Factory yesterday and restricted myself just to the sample they give you on the tour

You're my hero!!

Um, YEAH! I could never do that. As is, I was at the dollar store and found a carton of B&J's organic brownie fudge ice cream and couldn't say no. It was like my fingers fused to the carton!

Let's see.. Good things I did today... Didn't wander over to the vending machine at work. Ate MOSTLY unprocessed foods (a few spoons of ice cream and a sugar free tapioca, oh well.) Ate only one serving of veggies and brown rice at dinner. AND, the biggest accomplishment is coming - As soon as I get off 3FC I'm going to the gym!

Good work girls!

I worked out in the evening. Major accomplishment for me for two reasons: 1) I get really tired and like to slack off at night. and 2) I made a promise to myself that I would get a workout in today and I kept it.

Ooh great thread idea

Today I woke up at 4:30am even though every bone in my body wanted to stay glued to the bed- so I could make it to my 5am cycling class. Once I got there I gave it my all and loved every minute. So it paid off.

holy cow carcar! 5 AM workout class.. you're also my hero! I work at 8 everyday and am hitting the snooze button until the last minute!

Good job Knitalisa!

I worked out last night AND got up and went to the gym for 5:30 spin. I have to go up to school tonight, so there would be no way to work out, and I'm getting weighed today. Eek.

Haha yeah the Ben&Jerry's resistance was tough...I just keep telling myself it's not like it's hard to get B&Js in VT, so when I really want it, I can get it.

Carcar- glad to see you're keeping up with those early morning spin classes...dang!

Stella- you too! Man, now I feel like a slacker for complaining about having to get up at 7 to go to the gym before work.

Today I ran 3 miles in 30 minutes. I never run 10min miles, so that was really good. Literally I haven't run a 10 minute mile in 4 years, and I don't think I've ever run three back to back
