I like that the scale was a little lower, and my legs aren't even sore from the long workout I did yesterday!

I like it that I'm taking better care of myself.

I made it to 138.4 pounds! I haven't been under 139-140 since the beginning of high school!

1of12, congratulations! :)

When I'm on the plan ijust like how I feel all over

I like the energy I feel every morning to get up and just do things!!!

Carribeangirl, I wish I had energy when I got up in the morning! But my little guy is on a streak of waking up at 5 am -- I will never be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at that hour!

I like that I really made an effort to get to the gym today, even though I was in a dark mood and there were several family- and schedule-related obstacles. I ran and lifted and my arms looked good in the mirrors as I curled and pressed 12.5 lbs in each hand! :workout:


ETA: :bravo: oneoftwelve!

This is no. 2 for today, but it's just been on my mind. I like it that I don't have to keep the air conditioner as cold anymore. Being thinner costs less. I spend less money on food and on cooling the house!

We had a horribly busy day at work. But I feel OK. My legs are tired but nothing extraordinary. I might go have a nap but only because supper is on the go and DH doesn't get home until six. I'm not super tired.

Improved stamina? Not bad for an old gal!

Just back from zip lining, now that was a ball!
DH DD and I were all pretty proud of doing this... we had a ball it took 2 hours... Talk about working the core OYE :faint:

I'm an AWESOME cheerleader, I genuinely like people, I love my friends to bits, I'm great at explaining things and generally teaching (I'm not a 'teacher', though). It's taken me a long time to start to remember good things about myself.. Oh, and someone told me I had pretty eyes on Saturday - that made my day! :-)

I know these aren't specific 'today' things.. But up until today, I had a really hard time finding anything positive about myself, so it's a victory for me, today!

Ilene That looks like so much fun! Ive never done that before. I love getting a good workout through fun activities such as that..

Elle Congrats on your victory! You are one of God's children, therefore you are special my dear! Never forget that. We all have special qualities!!

Have a great rest of the day!

ElleMyBelle, it sounds like you have very many special qualities. You should reflect on them often!

Today, I am saying for the first time ever, that I like my thighs. No, they are not skinny thighs. No one will ever knickname me "Chicken Legs." But today I looked down at my legs while I was running (ever so slowly) and noticed definition in my thighs like I had never seen before. I had this wash of happiness because I know I have accomplished this weight loss using common sense and the power that has always been in my hands (and my heart) and I never really knew or believed it.

I am going to write this down and keep it somewhere special. In December, when it is cold and raining and I don't want to go running, I want to remember this day.

Good for you same7! What a good feeling to have succeeded in something the right way and are now reaping the benefits!
