XenatheWarriorPrincess Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I started deadlifting last month in my crappy gym (it only has the option for 10, 35, or 45 lb plates for the barbell). After weeks of trying 20lb total on the deadlift, I decided yesterday to load it to 70lb. After being able to do that several times, I loaded up the 45's to try it at 90lbs. I was able to pick it up three times (with breaks in between). Made my day! Quote Link to comment

Maggie May Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I love this thread! This morning, I got up to go to the early morning yoga, but decided to stay home and cuddle in bed with my husband (never get to do in the mornings since he's usually gone for work). Then we met up for lunch. Made my day. <3 Quote Link to comment

humanperson832 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 So, some of my cousins from Brazil are in town for their very first visit to America. My cousin Mariana kept chasing after squirrels with her phone to take pictures, and I asked, "Do they not have squirrels where you guys live?" And they said, "No. They're just the funniest looking things, we want to show everyone when we get back."It was funny and made my day when it happened (about a week ago). So, let it be known: there are no squirrels in São Paulo and its environs. Quote Link to comment
RaeVynn Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I was reminded today that I am absolutely awesome at my chosen job (not the one I'm currently in), and that I'm wanted badly enough that my soon to be manager/boss will adjust my schedule to accommodate my college coursework, just so he will be able to keep me.My current boss/manager, I'm not sure she even knows my name (okay, she knows it, but she has no interest in me as a person)... and I hate my job. I was also reminded, quite strongly, that I have FRIENDS who VALUE me, and who want me to succeed in life, and who will do what they can to help me out. They rock.

GreenEyesBright Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Thanks! I'm so happy to finally see progress after feeling like nothing was happening. But even after going off paleo for three weeks, I finally saw the scale move down. Yay! Whats the name of the book? Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Wake Your Dreams... Link to comment

GreenEyesBright Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 In that case Big, welcome to NF. We're all nerds here :grins:I'll check that out. My biggest fear is that I'll miss out on some incredible book series that could possibly change my life. I'm always on the lookout for something new to read. Thanks for the suggestion!

LolReading this made my day.Also, this morning I was getting ready for work in the women's locker room (also at work, it's almost always deserted). A woman comes in and compliments the dress I'm wearing and then says "but you're so beautiful you'd make any dress look good!" That was just a cool random act of niceness.
