Bekah Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 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 freeways3. 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 Sukkah2. GF pumpkin cupcakes3. playing board games with my son after everyone else has gone to sleep awwww what a great feeling 1. the baby in my belly2. the fact that my kids seem to enjoy our first year of home school3. My husbandCongratulations!!! Quote Druid Assassin Halfling Druid Level 16, Current Quest: Bekah Returns Spoiler Fitbit Facebook Your life does not get better by chance.

Minty Keen Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 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.

Minty Keen Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Thankful for... - 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!

Minty Keen Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Thankful... -that I get the next two days off. I hate my job. Not a fan of working more than 6 days in a row (worked 8 this time). I need to get my shit together and get out of retail asap.-that I had time to play EVE Online with corpmates and we PvPed and stuff.-that I can sleep in as long as I want tomorrow. Goodnight!

Meant2Move Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 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. Quote M2M- Do something everyday!

Meant2Move Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 1. BOSU! I adore this gym gadget - balance moves, lunges, and anything else I can think of 2. My mom - she just called and is feeling so much better and was so upbeat 3. Chocolate milk - ok, I know it is just a marketing ploy, but it really is yummy Quote M2M- Do something everyday!

Meant2Move Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 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. Quote M2M- Do something everyday!

Bekah Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 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 attempt2. My heart, for loving fully and completely3. My children, for being my biggest reason to never give up Quote Druid Assassin Halfling Druid Level 16, Current Quest: Bekah Returns Spoiler Fitbit Facebook Your life does not get better by chance.
