This is a huge success by my standards, Stephanie! Way to go girl

My little success is the fact that I have managed to set time aside for myself to exercise 5 days a week for the passed 6 weeks while raising an 18 month old Who woulda thought you could actually take care of yourself while taking care of a family?? LOL!

Melanie, thank you, and wow what a success of your own. I can barely take care of my goldfish and manage to do anything else!!! Keep goin'!

LC, Mel, Stephanie - Way to go!

It is weird that this thread got revived because I was just thinking I had something to post. When I was still way too heavy I would barely be able to breathe after carrying my three year old up our seven stairs. Yesterday, I *ran* up them and wasn't even out of breath!

Stephanie - You are too much - you crack me up ! Hey, before I had a baby, I could never get into an exercise routine or wake up early before work for that matter, so I think you are doing great, even if you only have goldfish - ha ha I think the motivation factor is really what it boils down to, whether you have kids or not! So, keep up the motivation!!

Melissa - Thanks for the encouragement! Great job on the stairs! Isn't it amazing what less weight can do for your cardiovascular system?

I had a small success this evening! I actually let myself get too hungry, which I have been careful not to do because that's when I usually just eat like crap. But I got home from my 4 hour Biology marathon: lecture followed directly by the lab, there was pizza for dinner (AHHHHHHHH), but I bypassed it and made a sensible chicken and veggie soft taco on a whole wheat tortilla with some yummy cheese sause (everything carefully measured). WOO HOO, I do have self control!

Melanie, I think that you and I would get along famously!

Way to go everyone! I love this thread, I think it's great to give ourselves and eachother credit for the little things, because isn't it just the little things that count the most!!!

Stephanie - Way to go girl!! I had almost the exact same thing for lunch today - LOL! We should chat more often, I agree that we would get along. You should check out my buddy board; http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62079 OR PM me sometime
