- Added incline to treadmill work outs, something that would’ve killed my knee not too long ago.
- Completed and returned application for National Weight Control Registry.
- Made and ate a spinach salad when dining with friends.
- After missing this a.m.’s workout and deciding to “rest” after a full day, overcame the temptation and worked out with Sister this evening.
- 10,000 steps by 7:15 a.m. today. WOOT!
- Planned for a splurge. Enjoyed half a cheeseburger and order of fries at Pawley’s Front Porch. Sent the evening in bed with a horrible stomachache, not because the food was “bad,” but because my body isn’t used toeating that way anymore.
- SERIOUSLY resisted buying my favorite ice cream during my Sunday grocery shopping. I knew I couldn’t have just half a cup.
- I can no longer crack a nut by standing on it in the driveway. It’s a particular nut, one that falls from a tree in our yard. The driveway is full of them. Many pounds ago, I could step on one and crack it.When I tried tonight, I couldn’t. Funny, but neat.
- My legs are getting strong!
- Had a green smoothie as my afternoon snack
- Did the exercise I didn’t think I could do. And I didn’t want to do it. But I did.
- Reached down to scratch my calf and it felt stronger and smaller calf
- Got my 10,000 steps in during Soda City
- Found a BioFreeze roll-on and realized how long it had been since I used it. When I first started working out, I had one at home and one at work, and I used them both often.
- Had a nearly perfect day nutrition-wise
- Had 10,000 steps by 8:30 a.m.
- Took my own lunch to a conference instead of hedging my bets with the one provided
- 10,000 steps by 10 a.m.
- Actually liked a picture someone took of me today
- Splurged a little at brunch, but still resisted the really bad stuff like biscuits and gravy, bacon, sausage
- Chose to stop at a Golden Corral on the way home so I could get some veggies. Not the best veggies, I know, but veggies nonetheless.
- Early morning walk with Mom and Beth in Portsmouth
- Needed comfort food last night. Instead of Five Guys or Village Idiot, made whole wheat spaghetti with homemade sauce, lean beef and Ezekiel sprouted garlic bread
- Seriously resisted some Halloween Peeps. “Had them in my hand, but put them down” resisted.
- Leg pressed 145 lbs.
- Increase resistance on elliptical, voluntarily, while sick even
- Taught Sister how to make Taco Soup
- Bought a lower sugar Kashi cereal – half the sugar of Go Lean Crunch, but still great in my yogurt
- Someone commented today that I was doing a good job keeping my weight off. Not totally true – I am up a little – but nice to know it isn’t noticeable
- When drying my hair, noticed that the “goosh” on my arms is greatly diminished, more toned
- Wore some fab Halloween tights today, one size fits most, that I wouldn’t have fit two years ago
