Mini Smiles.. Can I just say something?

Options
I've been here for a while now... many of you may recognize me. I've seen a lot here, and have made some great friendships, and I realize that while there may be a few things that peeve me, there are plenty more that give me mini smiles...

1. People who have attained goal! HELL YEAH!

2. "Before and After" pics... Holy crap, people are changing shape!

3. Yummy diaries... People are meeting goals and eating GOOD food.

4. Sweaty gym pics... ones that scream "I just busted my *kitten*, i feel so ALIVE, and here's proof,"! I love workout pics. I love seeing how people are working hard, and getting their sweat on.

5. FUN and adventure! I see how people are enjoying an active, and sometimes adventure filled life! It makes me wanna get out there and do the same!

These are just some of the things that i come across on a daily basis that give me smiles.


What are some of yours?

    Tickers in single digit "pounds to go" status! :drinker:

    NSV threads :love:

    The lengths people will go to support someone they've never met and probably never will :flowerforyou:

    The bonds strangers form when they fight the same battles :heart:

    Checking my newsfeed after lunch and seeing a dozen of my friends were outside walking in the sunshine! :smooched:

    And, you. You make me smile :smile:

    I just find that we find it so easy to complain about all the things that make us mad, or tick us off.. but how often do we stop to think about the things that bring us joy?

    My 6yr old daughter was in a foul mood this morning... and by the time we got out the door... the whole family was in a foul mood. Misery is contagious.

    But so is joy.

    Sometimes... I like to try and spread a smile, instead of a frown.

    but sadly... smile threads aren't as popular. :-P

    My biggest one, and one that I see almost daily from my awesome badass friend list, is the "Holy cow, I just did something I never thought I'd be able to do!" post.


    <---- Here's mine-- I ran an entire 5k. And so did my husband. When we got married neither of us would have been able to do that.

    I love these too! Great job!!

    I love seeing my friends conquer their demons, little by little. And although it might sometimes be a little sad, I love my friends being so honest. They share their struggles, we connect through those struggles, and we don't feel alone anymore. That makes me have a mini smile too.

    Every time I log in and see the news feed- my feed is chalk FULL of bad *kitten* lifters.

    All I see is people smashing lifts - left and right- there are occasional bemoaning posts about bad days- or moodiness- but I see a constant stream of kickass people who smash their stuff- no excuses.

    It really makes me happy.

    I get so sad and frustrated when I see
    "oh I binged today what to do"
    I don't know what to eat when we go out
    I don't have any XXX food
    I had pizza and now I'm sad.

    Good food- good mentality- great lifts- GREAT people.

    PS_ I love sweaty gym pictures. They are amazing.

    Also- before and after pictures- Don't care what order- love seeing people rocking their new bodies!!!
