3 things

Wow, good for you Bekah, on "learning to be open and vulnerable..." That is so tough, I need to learn that/improve about a thousand times on that.

For me today -

1. Wore a dress I haven't worn in ages, it fit beautifully, looked great, and disguised very nicely the fact that as my body fat % is down, I have almost nothing left up front.

2. So grateful that my normal commute at home involves no freeways

3. Loved hearing from my stepbrother... I don't love Facebook, but if it keeps me in touch with family that I wouldn't communicate with otherwise, it is worth the occasional visit. An NPR story triggered a memory, I sent him a note about it, and he responded. It is a start!

 

It's taken me a LONG time to do that, and even now its so scary I just about lose my mind, but I push through it anyway, and it gets easier every single time! Just being aware that its a struggle is a BIG step, in my opinion :) 

 

1. grape lights in my Sukkah

2. GF pumpkin cupcakes

3. playing board games with my son after everyone else has gone to sleep

 

awwww what a great feeling :) 

1. the baby in my belly

2. the fact that my kids seem to enjoy our first year of home school

3. My husband

Congratulations!!! :)

1. That I easily fit into my tub and took an awesome bubble bath with candles, music and a good book last night

2. That I slept great

3. That the people I'm closest to don't hesitate to kick me in the ass when I need it

4. That I set a running PR

5. That I decorated my room 90% of the way I want it

6. That I have the strength of will to do the hard shit even when it scares me to death

Today I'm thankful for...

 

1. Being able to have a guaranteed 8-hour sleep tonight. I haven't had one all week and I'm suffering for it. Goddamn work and it's stupid scheduling.

2.Thankful we made our budget for the day at work. It was insanely busy today so it went by quickly.

3. Thankful for the rain. I don't know why, but sometimes I crave a day when the skies are grey. Today was one of them.

- Today I braved my first canned "smoked herring seafood snack". I've never had sardines or anything like that before. I'm happy to say I enjoyed it. Now I know I have a good source of calcium and O3 I enjoy.

- Exercise. Before I used to think I'd always be more tired if I started exercising. Now I know that if I manage to do my strength-base HIITs in the morning, I have an abundance of energy throughout the day. Even if my arms are a little wobbly at first.

- Timothy's World Coffee. I'm not sure how big of a name they are, but there's a coffee shop in the mall I work called that. It has really yummy organic teas. Today I discovered "apricot green tea". It was delicious!

-that I can sleep in as long as I want tomorrow. Goodnight!

2. That I had Honey Vanilla Chamomile Tea in the cabinet

1. I had a fantastic long weekend that included a wonderful hike on Monday and a completely painless 50th birthday.

 

2. Autumn has come, the leaves are changing, and there is that wonderful nip in the air

 

3. I found my favorite sparkly nail polish and I can paint my toenails with it again. I bought this in honor of a favorite, flamboyantly gay uncle whom I adored. He has since passed, but everytime I use this polish, it reminds me of him and I appreciate again how wonderful it was to have him in my life.

OMG I WANT A BOSU!!! <3 and chocolate milk is yummy! I'm glad your mom is doing better too!

Thanks, Bekah!  We are in the planning stages to build a new house (ours is beyond tiny) and are planning a nice exercise room. I swear, a BOSU will be the first thing I buy for that room!

 

1. The truly nice people who are the members of the consortium that I direct. I got to spend time at a site today and really enjoyed the interaction with the folks we help.

 

2. Cafe Rio - I almost never eat out, but I know this restaurant from family visits to another state - what's not to love about yummy pulled pork, a pile of salad greens, salsa, and black beans?  I didn't bring my lunch as I was doing the site visit so when I got back to town, I enjoyed this treat.

 

3. Push-ups - I love how strong I feel doing them well.

I don't feel grateful for much today, so I'm going to go with simple.

1. My body, for being strong and capable of most things I attempt

2. My heart, for loving fully and completely

3. My children, for being my biggest reason to never give up
