I took my three boys and one of their friends to McDonald's for dinner and play before Boy Scouts last night. Now, it was 6 o'clock, I hadn't eaten since noon, and knew I wouldn't be home until 8 p.m. I had to eat something......I ordered oatmeal. I was super impressed with me! LOL It was good, healthy, and held me over until I got home and could heat one of my homemade convenience meals.

What have you done to impress yourself lately?

Good for you! I'm impressed with you!

Good job!! I LOVE oatmeal and eat it practically daily. Fills you up and is yummy with fruit and nuts

Impress myself? Well, I've been really dedicated to my exercise routine these days!

Hmmm...what have I done to impress myself lately...

I am most impressed with my new-found ability to be more patient with the scale. I've been on my weight loss journey for a few years now, and when I would start a new plan, or method, or eating program, I would freak out after I saw a weight gain (which was probably just water weight) and then I would fall off the wagon altogether. Now, I am learning to tell myself that if I have gained weight in one day, it's not because I have eaten 7,000 calories to gain 2 pounds: it is just water weight and it will go away.

I impressed myself yesterday by actually going to the gym. Not that going in itself is impressive... I've actually been looking forward to it on most days!

BUT... yesterday I had an externship from 9-5 in downtown (Nashville) and we got a TON of snow which gridlocked the entire city! It took me two SOLID hours to drive the 3 miles home.

Needless to say, after two hours in ridiculous traffic the last thing I wanted to do was go to the gym (in my apartment complex, not driving in the snow). But I burnt off some steam by watching an episode of How I Met Your Mother, and got off my butt and did a great workout! :-)

Great job!

Great job!!

Let's see - I impressed myself day before yesterday when I was able to walk away from the delicious looking bakery cupcakes at work...and today when I avoided the catered Bertucci pastas lunch!! Talk about challenging!!

Good job!

I impressed myself this week at the amount of water I have been drinking lately. I have to admit I'm not a water person.

I did the SPLITS at my workout on Monday! My zumba instructor was stretching us out and since she's a dancer, she had us doing dancer stretches, and as a joke she told us to go down into the splits. Well, I thought I'd go down as far as I could, and I went all the way to the ground. I was pretty impressed with myself! She looked at me and clapped and said 'Did you think 60 days ago that you'd ever be able to do that?' and I laughed and said "I didn't think I could do it TODAY!"
