Small Battles Win the War

I struggle with consistency.  I've got goals...like eat healthy, lose weight, stop spending money frivolously, use my time wisely.  So, I like to think that one day I'll figure out how to get a handle on things.  Until then, I'm going to celebrate the small battles.

1.  I switched out my side of french fries for a side of steamed vegetables.  I died a little inside as the order came out of my mouth for the waitress.  I've never done this before.
2.  I forced myself to put away the clothes, even though I was tired.  No more of this leaving the newly-laundered clothes on the chair for the next five days.  (unthinkable of OCD me, right?!?!)
3.  I really didn't want to go exercise.  Like...really, really didn't want to go.  But, I went anyways and had a great workout.
4.  I saved money and didn't order something at a restaurant when I knew I had food at home.
5.  I was on the hunt for jewelry and only ordered one piece instead of the the three pieces that I really wanted to get.

Boom!  That is all.

Good for you!!! I always tell myself, getting to the gym is 90% of the work. (But then I never follow through) I need to follow your lead! And I leave the newly laundered clothes in the dryer until it's time to do another load... at least they're not piled up on the floor right?
