What did you do for yourself today that was good? A good decision. It can be anything.
Getting some exercise
Eating a healthy meal
Eating a smaller-than-normal portion of dessert
Passing on the dessert tray at a restaurant
Saying "no" to someone instead of always being the one to say "yes"
It can be anything. Anything that makes you feel good and not feel like running to food.
I'm going to try and post something on this thread daily. It may take until the end of the day before I do something good for myself, but I will try every day. I'd love for everyone to post here daily. Let's see how long we can make this thread.
I like this thread. Very, very much so. Good idea!!
I woke up early this morning and instead of trying to go back to sleep I did 75 sit-ups. Granted I would have done them anyway, but it felt great to get them out of the way. I usually do 2 sets a day, who knows maybe today I'll get in 3 sets.

I am impressed! 1) with the sit-ups; and 2) with crawling out of bed instead of hitting the snooze!
I just got back from the gym--full body weights and 40 or so minutes on the bike (I stopped to fix my foot thingy and had to restart so I dont know exactly how long I went)
I had a close one. I was feeling pretty stressed this evening for various reasons, and I desperately wanted to turn to tortilla chips and cheese. Ugh. NOT good.
But I decided to compromise. I got some Healthy Choice veggie soup & sprinkled some lowfat parmesan on it & a few dashes of tabasco. And I got a small handful of tortilla chips - NO CHEESE!
Hmmm, I love baking and cooking. So, instead of making cookies or another dessert, I made a delicious and healthy black bean soup for dinner instead. Thanks, MissH, for setting up this thread.

Great topic! It's nice to take a minute to think about what good choices we made and how we were good to ourselves.
I'm stoked that I fit in 'incidental' exercise by getting up early (I am a hardcore night owl, so this is big!), using my lunch break and a bit of pre-dinner time to get in three 15 min brisk walks. Not nearly as intimidating as thinking, "I have to go do 45 mins now!". Also I'm pleased that I ran a mile in a good time for me and more importantly, that afterwards I felt really pumped and was looking forward to doing it the next day!
Sorry this is long, I can get a bit overly wordy! Yay everyone here
Thank you so much.
I am going to back track a little, yesterday I made a big pot of healty stuff froze half and left half. Was nice to think it was a big pot of non processed stuff.
This morning ate fruit for breakfast. Hope everyone else has a good day.
This morning when I got to work, I popped a piece of sugarless gum in my mouth rather than help myself to the Christmas treats someone brought and put on the kitchen table!!!
(Don't these people know it's Dec. 27th and Christmas is OVER??????)
