what happened today that made you feel good? anything from getting a compliment to taking time for yourself to working out to achieving a goal to liking the way something looks to....

did something happen with work, school, family?did something make you laugh?



lets be POSITIVE lets share!



today a woman complimented me in the gym. she said she remembered me from years ago and that i lost alot of weight.

also, im preparing myself a healthy lunch; food my body deserves and needs.



What about you?

Good idea, Jen, and bon ap.



Today I ran, (in the driving wind and rain no less, how dramatic), for 30 minutes straight with NO PAIN, a mark I haven't made it to for a spell due to some knee problems--ones I see now are all about running on pavement, which I've put a lid on.



Feeling awesome and looking forward to more of that.



So is pooch.

Great news everyone! I love hearing all the positives!



Mine would be I am loving the feeling of clothing (jeans/shorts) that were once snug around my waist are now at the slipping down stage lol...and the last two days the kids and I have been crook with gastro and I was soooooo depressed yesterday that I couldn't make it to my 40+ mins on the treadmill...so this morning I woke up still a little crampy but feeling human again at least and I went out and done some work with the dumbells and rower..felt nice

I broke into the 160's finally!



My PT commented on how small my chest was getting and we had quite the laugh about how my husband who hasn't seen me since Jan 1 (he arrives home Feb 16) was going to feel about that! But I am NOT complaining!



Last night I came down with a horrible sore throat, chills - felt miserable overall but right now I'm feeling pretty good so hopefully it won't impact by physical activity too much.



And today is shrove Tuesday - so before I swear off sweets for fourty days (and those would be my sporadic treats) I am going to treat myself to a bowl of frozen yogurt before I go to bed!



Tomorrow I have my fitness test done to get a clear evaluation of how I've been doing and I am anticipating great results (cold and all)!

Hey congrats jen that must be awesome!



Well.... not today but the other day while I was at work a friend came thorugh who hasnt seen me in a few months said "Wow you're skinny" lol. But I dunno if she really meant that or what, because I only lost.... er.... 4 pounds? or 6 at most? ... I dunno if you guys can tell but if someone lost say 4-6 pounds can you notice it with clothes on? lol



But seriosuly one good thing that happened to me today was reaching 3000 on my wii for boxing. It's awesome. Not as good as some of the other positives here though, lol those are more practical. Oh but no another positve that i'm more happy about was finding Jim Carrey's "An Un-natural Act" stand up comedy routine on youtube, the whole lot. I'm a really big fan of his and have been searching for a long time for it.
