SO.MUCH. negativity and anger in the forums the past couple days. I thought a more positive thread might help a little.

What's your awesome from today so far? Big or small, what's something good that has happened or gone right?

For me, in a meeting today a product manager related something he was trying to explain to beer and beer bellies. I responded by saying "We all get the beer analogy...." He responded by saying "Yes, but YOU CAN'T relate to the beer belly part." I just laughed. :drinker:

What's your awesome?

    My awesome for today was running a full 3 miles with no walk breaks. First time ever really...usually it was 2.96 miles, or I'd just stop at 30 minutes, or I'd allow myself a 2 minute walk break in there. Trying to start pushing myself more.

    My awesome for the day is that I have been at my job for exactly one year and have never called out :) I was very blessed to have a year free of sickness and misfortune and wish all of you the same in your years to come :)

    Great idea for a post! I hope it catches on!

    P.S... my silly awesome for the day = :drinker: :smokin:

    Well my awesome didn't happen today, but last weekend I married my best friend. Two hours before we were married in the church, my sister-in-law gave birth to our adorable baby niece, Thea. I just got home from the honeymoon on Sunday.

    I'm still swimming in the awesomeness that is my life at the moment <3

    A quite house at 2:30pm in the afternoon. My 3 year old is cat-napping and my 5 1/2 year old is on ABCmouse (computer) with head phones. I'm an at home mom and this does not happen often in the afternoon.

    Yeah! I think we all need this. My awesomes are totally unrelated to fitness: This morning I gave this crazy old (harmless )woman in my in-laws' apartment complex a ride to Walmart. And this afternoon I tried to donate platelets, but my iron level failed me. Next week I will try again. And tonight, I make delicious stuffed peppers for my family.

    Winner of a day!

    Well, I posted this on my page and my friends thought it was funny...

    "A door to door appointment setter rang the doorbell (ignoring my big *kitten* NO SOLICITING sign). My kids called for me. I showed up at the door and his eyes got that holy *kitten* look. My hair is in twin braids, I have a tank top, no bra, running shorts and my socks you see right here. I pointed out the sign, he said he wasn't selling anything so I asked if he was coming by to get my number because I'm cute. He couldn't get out of my yard fast enough and my kids are now rolling on the floor laughing."

    Um....I got sent home early from work. I was scheduled for a 10 hour shift, sent home after a half hour. That's okay, I needed to help my grammy make zucchini bread anyway.
