Crediting yourself

[Minerva]

I credit myself for feeling good that I lost a pound at yesterday's WI. I have finally dropped the mentality of 'weight on scales matters most'. I know who I'm doing this "diet" for. It's not a diet if you don't think it is. I credit myself for getting a positive attitute thinking of the "I can have"s, and never actually thinking about the "I can't have"s.

I credit myself for listening to my body and eating more last night and a little more this afternoon, hunger pangs...

I credit myself for not buying the chocolate croissant that was reduced to 15p!

I credit myself for starting a new set of toning exercises.

Today I claim credit for inviting some other gym members (hey why should they be left out, I talk to them and socialise and even work out with them) to a lunch date a whole bunch of us (the regular luncher outers) have planned next Wednesday...mmm...chinese buffet thingy...*drool* cannae wait!

Today i am crediting myself for not giving in to my stress and eating.

Go you!

I credit myself today for sitting still for longer than five minutes and enjoying the weather, the coffee in front of me and the rest of my book that I was reading...

I credit myself for getting up early despite being tired, and going for a 30min/2mile jog (ok there was some walking too!). Considering this is only the second one back from ages of not exercising I give myself MASSIVE credits for that: jogging is not my forte at all. By the end I was starting to find a rhythm and a way of jogging that felt good, by toning my abdominals whilst jogging it gave me a sort of centredness and made it a lot easier!

Running is my weakest athletic thing, but I am giving a good bash, and am improving all the time...GO YOU! If you tighten your core, it helps in soooo many ways...I find breathing and then running to that breathing pattern the most comfy...

Today I credit myself for getting up early despite feeling pooey (kids are both off with dodgy tummies)...have sooo much to do today of all days...

The weather is scrummy though!!! YEY!

 

[Lind]

Today I credit myself for meditating in the garden in the sunshine.

 

[Minerva]

I credit myself today for being positive and not freaking out when faced with yet another new sitation! Growing up is not all that easy... but I'm glad I finally am.

 

[nexangelus]

I credit myself again for waking up early and doing what I promised the kids we would go and do at around 7.45 a.m. despite being really tired still *yawn*

 

[Purple Hugs]

I credit myself or not cheating last night even though it was mothers day, our fosling 'tested my patience' and I wanted a 'treat'! My treat was the scales movind downwards this morning!

 

[Lind]

I credit myself for being a very good girl on my diet and exercising.

 

[nexangelus]

I credit myself for knocking 30 seconds off my octathalon time. Wheee!

 

[Minerva]

I credit myself for yesterday's final stage of my quitting smoking. I threw out the lighters, cleaned out and put the ashtray away, and tore up and threw the last 3 fags away that have been sitting there for 2 months.

I credit you for that too!! Is it going ok?
I gave up smoking in Jan after 20yrs!! Can't believe how fit I am now.

I credit myself for walking to pick up my son from playgroup yesterday instead of taking the car.

 

[Minerva]

Thanks Lind! Yep, it's going fine, I feel so liberated from it!! Then again I only smoked for 4 years, not as long as some! Well done you for quitting also! Must have felt like a big step to finally quit after 20 years?
(And well done for having a walk to pick your son up! It's definitely a step in the right directon towards a healthier, more active life )

I credit myself for staying awake-ish while having had no more than 50 calories so far today...

 

[Purple Hugs]

goodness 50 calories is low!!

Today I credit myself for a good week and fitting into my size 14 skinny fit jeans! lol

 

[PurpleButterfly]

50cals min, that's very low?? Please say you had the rest of your cals later in the day?

Credit myself to sticking to DC for 2 days! And for not obsessing about my weight/weight loss (haven't even taken a start weight). And for not beating myself up about my whole decision to leave LL, I find it very easy to beat myself up but I'm actually proud of myself on this one!
