One positive thing about me is that I choose to be a warrior .... because I put a limit each day on self pity, I am able to more easily motivate myself to exercise, which is hard as I deal with chronic pain issues.
Suzyslimdown - loving the name! Respect on your 8 mile (count them!!!) walk, yes sometimes when that elusive sun comes out you turn into gold!
My positive - today I went and visited an old friend, had the most fabulous time having a catch up over numerous cups of coffee ( oops there might have been a sweet or two) ....things aren't great for her right now...but we just laughed and giggled ourselves silly - it felt great on so many levels.
My positive thing today is learning to embrace the joy and happiness of today.
I am happy with the person I am today.
Yes I want to lose weight and have a body that does not jiggle like Jello! but I claim the here and now to be present in my life for myself , family and friends
I have learned so much from my beloved dogs who just live in the present.
I choose to be happy today and not project myself to the future when I will be happy!
Have a Great Day,Roo2
I like making people laugh. I don't mind being seen as "a little odd" or "goofy", but that's okay. So often all people need is a giggle, even if it's at my expense.
I also like sticking a strange song in my boss' head for no reason! I can do it by whistling or humming some odd song & BOOM! it's in there! It's gotten to the point where my co-workers suggest songs!
Lately I've been bogged down in a negativeland and I am ready for a positive change. I put a lot of pressure on myself to do things"right" and when they don't turn out it's ends with me turning to food for comfort. I have started a blog and intend to finish each post with three things that are positive about my day. Thanks everyone
1GTAMe2Day: I am a great, fun mom for my rowdy teenage boys. Had a row with DS13 yesterday. Took away cell phone, computer AND TV....Today we're laughing about it! (but still no cell phone, computer or TV)...give me strength!
BwaaaaHaHa..MsT...you and I have a lot in common! I call those successful "implants". Here are some good ones for your boss (who, as I recall, is a jerk)..."I'm just a girl who can't say no" "If I only had a brain" (from the wizard of oz) "Yesterday" (from the Beatles....you know..."I'm not half the man I used to be...")....tee hee....y'all have fun!.....Oh, and if you're still doing that crazy daily shift swing, you should demand a big raise....you're going to make yourself sick.
Msj--you just focus on what's been accomplished, not on what's less than perfect. And keep pushing ahead!
One positive thing about me... I've completed 6 personal training sessions of my paid 40 and haven't given up yet!! Although, I DESPISE push-ups and crab walks!!!
I went to a supermarket tonight that I never go to, and there in the fruits & vegetables section, they had an enormous bin of loose Goetze caramel bulls eyes on sale for $1.88 a pound. These are a favorite of mine, and I hemmed and hawed, but walked away.
Then, I went back, and decided to get 9. Three for me, and 3 for each son.
As I walked around the store I CAME TO MY SENSES and ditched the little baggie I had made on a shelf.
Seems like a silly thing to celebrate, but for me, this is huge!

WOW! I don't think my willpower would be that strong. Great job!!
I feel positive as I have made it to the pool for exercise two days this week.
firegirl441 Thanks for the compliment! I still draw strength from putting those back...
One positive thing about me today is that I'm honest. I forgot to pay for a lipstick at WalMart going through the self checkout. I saw it in the bottom of my cart *after* I paid for everything else. What did I do? I turned right back and did a second transaction. I could have easily walked out without paying.
positive change
