CMB27 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hey Everyone,I want to know what you all have said "no" to today. I don't know about you guys, but my office is a mine field when it comes to bad food. There's usually tons of pizza, cookies, etc. for lunch meetings; pastries for breakfast meetings; someone always has a candy bowl; co workers bring in baked goods; list goes on & on. So, sometimes I like to take pics of all the junk & send it to one of the trainers at my gym, just to show her exactly what I'm dealing with at work. I think it helps with motivation & will power because I can say "look what I just said no to." After reading Steve's article yesterday on the workplace, I thought it might be cool to start a thread where everyone can post pics of what they've said no to: whether it's at work, at a cookout, or just hangin' at a friends' house, etc. I'll start: here's what I said no to this morning[ATTACH=CONFIG]3651[/ATTACH] Link to comment
llsoszynski@gmail.com Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I love this!! I started tracking things that I've resisted in my training forum here and there, especially when I have a super bad day or something . Today? Donuts and coffee when the group I'm working with stopped at dunkin donuts... Always a weakness. Also doing leangains I resisted banana bread when I first woke up this morning!

You CANNOT run into white bread face-first. Like they said on the whole 30 website, Unless you physically tripped and your face landed in a box of doughnuts, there is no “slip”. You make a choice to eat something unhealthy. It is always a choice, so do not phrase it as if you had an accident.

Sambalina Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Does it have to be food?If so, I didn't say 'no' (it's very rude where I work to refuse a gift of food), but I took it (two choco-pies) and hid it in my bottom drawer to give to kids as prizes in class. So I said 'no' to eating it If not, I said 'no' to:"Sam teacher, can you memorise this please?" (from my head teacher)I said, "No, can you please write down the requirements and I will write the test questions".

The Tin Man Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I said "no" to going to McDonald's out of stress/frustration. Yesterday I said "no" to a mint chocolate shake when I got my burrito for lunch. And in case you're wondering, the burrito is fine for me/by me.

Kewilson Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Cool thread idea!I skipped out on desert (chocolate cake) when I went to my relatives house for dinner. I did say "yes" to some dark chocolate when I got home, though.
