Daily Post--2/6/08

I am most proud of being more energetic and when someone who hasn't seen me in a long time gives me a hug, and tells me how easy it is to get their arms around me! :P It feels so good! This summer, I will be so proud of finally being able to fit on the roller coasters at Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens! yahoo!!! Christy

So far today I have drank 2x the amount of water that I did yesterday...still low on the vitamin count though.

Hi Lea, Nothing I did today has anything to do with WLS, but I helped a bordering agency with a head on collision. When you can get help there as soon as possible, it makes you feel like you did something good. Plus I sent flowers to a friend that had surgery! Katy

I walked my whole 3 miles even though I was trying to talk myself out of it. I used any and every excuse to tell myself that I do it 6 days a week and just one day it would not hurt to go 2 times around the mall instead of 3. I did not listen to that self and I am proud of that. Carla

I am proud that my new shoes feel big already! I had lunch with my brother and some friends. I ate 4 oz. I gave the rest to my brother and he needed a doggie bag. He is large and is losing weight too. I like to be a positive influence on him

I wore a pair of jeans today that I havent been able to get on with Crisco and a shoehorn for about 4 years.

Actually, I was/am having kind of a blah day. Got ready to go work out, and something unavoidable came up, so I haven't been able to get to the gym (& will not get there this evening). However, earlier today on the grads board, another poster was feeling really down, and I tried to help her get her perspective back. A different poster on the same strand made a comment that my response was good, so a couple of us had some posts back & forth. I think the original poster ended up feeling a little better, and I did too! Often I don't respond to posts--I just lurk a lot--but it helps to khow that just a few words to someone can help both me & them! Jo

Hmmmm???.....Well......I uh???......Does getting out of bed count? It should, because that's what I did today. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I'm a tired and cold and just didn't feel like it, but I did it anyway.

I drank my protein, am drinking my water here at work tonight. I brought my dinner from home in hopes that it keeps me from ordering out the wrong food. I took the time to put on some makeup (which I have been doing daily to improve my self esteem). Didn't exercise though. Just seems I can't get myself motivated to do it. Sally

I went to work today instead of talking myself out of going!!
