What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud?
Me, not so much. I think that I am suffering from my annual Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Kind of like a mild case of the blues. 
I'm not depressed, just not not happy with anything. It's times like these that instead of looking at how much weight I've lost, I get upset that I can't lose the last fifteen pounds. Normally, it doesn't bother me that I'm dieting and working out and not losing...I'm used to the Mother of all Plateaus. On days like today, I start thinking, why bother? I guess I'm proud that I know this will get better with the weather, and it's good that I recognize that this too shall pass. Maybe I should have not put away the Christmas tree because the lights were festive???

I have days like that as well. I'd like to share my proud with ya though!! I got off my butt and walked a 1/2 mile today!! I'm really proud of myself
Hot Damn, a 1/2 mile!!!
What a great accomplishment Stacy! I remember when I weighed 320 pounds and walked a quarter of a mile with my niece. I thought I was going to throw up my guts. 
But I kept going out every day and now I power walk three miles on lower body workout days and four miles on upper body days. It didn't happen over night, but you know what they say, the journey of thousand miles starts with one step...or the first half mile! 
Before you know it, it will make you feel so empowered and so energized that you will miss it if you don't get to do it. Happy Trails!Mary
I get that way about the weather as well. I live in Michigan, and winter is sooo hard on me. We only had 7 hrs. of sunshine in the whole month of December, talk about depressing. I like to watch happy movies or movies that are in Paradise!!!
It usually helps. Keep your chin up, it will get better............I am proud that I went shopping with my mom today and bought panties that were a size smaller than what I usually buy. Even thought they wont be on long when I try them on for hubby tonight (
) .But, I also was naughty with food today!! I am not gonna say how naughty, BUT it was bad. I am going grocery shopping tomarrow and getting back on track. Usually around this time I run low on atkins groceries but try and do my best with what I have. Anyway ITS A NEW DAY TOMARROW!!!
You'll do better tomorrow. You don't want to grow out of those new drawze, now do you? Have fun modeling them!

I was really shocked when I watched the weather the last week of December. We almost hit the record of least amount of sun on the month of December if we had less than 1hr of sun on December 31st BUT we had sunshine most of that day!! Now thats interesting!! Anyway I got groceries today and I am back on track, but now I think TOM is around the corner, OMG another hurdle to jump!!! Unfortunately that hurdle comes ones every month!Well it was a long day, and gonna start a new semester of school tomarrow so time with my OH family will be limited. But I will try and jump on to post my daily meals and let ya'll now how I am doing.

Awww Mary, I'm sorry you're SAD. Maybe you need to move to a tropical island where it's sunny all the time (and then I can come visit)? I'm sad too but not the SAD kind of sad. 
Why bother? 'Cuz you're worth it and you've worked so hard and look so fab AND you paid Dr. DT LOTS of $$$$$$$$$!!
If we're sad after that, we need a shrink!You're always so good at putting things into perspective. I still wish I could lose a pound or two before I have to go see Dr. Duct Tape next week. *sigh*
