Something positive I did to love me today! Please add!

Hello ladies,

Sorry I was MIA this past weekend, but was very busy with the Salmon Derby. I organized and ran the dock workers, so had very long days. Yesterday was so tired, but did manage to get my strength training in. I was tired going there, but got into it right away. :happy:

Amy, I loved reading your post - it made me smile. :happy: You're right, the scale is just a number and feeling healthy, fit and alive is what counts. Sounds like you did a lot of exercise, movin' and groovin' yesterday.:smokin: You go girl!!

picadilly - your day off sounds absolutely lovely. Definitely something positive to love yourself. :flowerforyou:

The weather is getting a littel cooler. Can definitely tell fall is in the air. The leaves on the trees are already changing! There is a golden tinge to the hills. As much as I love fall, I am so sad that summer is over. It means winter is right around the corner and i so dislike winter!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am having a nice healthy lunch today - so much better when I prepare the night before.
Picked a little zucchini from my garden yesterday and cooked it up for my dinner. MMmmmm - that and some fresh green beans from the garden. My plate was 3/4 full of green!

Hi Ladies,

I have managed to do a bit of exercise everyday. Wednesday I did my strength training and was supposed to run, but was too tried, so didn't. Went to see my granddaughter instead. I am a first time grandmother to a beautiful granddaughter - born July 4th! I have two sons, so to finally have a little girl in the family is thrilling. I call her my little princess.
Any day I get to see my granddaughter is a good day. :happy: She makes me smile all the time - even when she is screaming. :laugh:

Went for dinner with my girlfriends yesterday - we had such a wonderful time - talked, gossiped, laughed. We were the last table to leave. Actually closed the place. :laugh: You can tell we don't do it often enough. None of us wanted the evening to end.

Off to bed - by Friday night I am beat.
Hope you are all doing well.:flowerforyou:

Just found this thread. What a blessing! My positive item is that I got up and did my day of C25K this morning!

Sandy - I also suffer from clinical depression and have for over 20 yrs. Give yourself a pat on the back for getting up in the morning. It is rough but remember that you are worth it and be thankful for every little thing you accomplish. Writing down 5 things you are grateful for at the end of the day has helped me little by little. That walk even if you don't do it every day can be wonderful. Hang in there.

Howdy!

Well I have not worked out for three days. I have watched what I ate. Some was good, some was not! lol

My husband and I took my son and his girlfriend to the Rock the Range concert yesterday! Very long day but turned out to be very well worth it! This is a Christian concert and Skillet was playing. During one of the revival portions of the program, my son's girlfriend went to the front and accepted Christ as her savior and my son went forward to confess sins. I was so proud of both of them! A very spiritual evening! God is so good!

Today will be church in the morning, canning tomatoes in the afternoon with my friend of 40 years! I am going to grill a chicken, steam some zuchinni, cook some whole grain pasta and a sugar free white chocolate pudding pie topped with fresh raspberries for Sunday dinner! That is the good thing I am doing for me today because once again, there is no time for exercise. I will be on my feet all day again though!

Amy, you will find your groove with work and exercise again. You are very motivated right now so it will work it's self out.

Sdereski, It is wonderful you spent time with friends and your granddaughter. Afterall we don't want to just be fit but have a good healthy life and that includes the emotional side I think. I have two boys as well and will be thrilled if I get a granddaughter some day.

Welcome Gerink! I hope to hear more from you and am happy to hear you are working through your depression. I know how hard that can be! Good job!

Well off to start my day! Stay safe and healthy!!

Well it is a beautiful day here and I got in my C25K run and signed up for the 5K on Dec 10th. We survived the Hurricane without a power outage which was wonderful. Feel so energetic I'm going to do the Ripped in 30 workout week 2 although from watching it through the first time I don't know if I will survive the warmup! Everyone I hope you have a great day.

All forms of graditude are wonderful. It seems easy to give great praise to someone else or about something in our lives, But, we hardly every praise ourselves. What a shame. I think your post will open up a lot of eyes and make us reevaluate ourselves and begin thinking "WE ARE WORTHY"
Today, I was thinking of what to have for lunch so started looking at various things posssible. Finally decided on Salmon patties. Was considering what was in them and thought, WOW I don't want to eat all that sodium and other nasty things, so decided to make up my own receipe.
I took two cans of salmon [next time fresh] 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup of Red Mill 7 grain cereal, 1/2 cup flax seed, 1/2 large onion, and a bit of pepper. Fried the patties in a teaspoon of Garlic oil and a teaspoon of Ginger oil. Made about 12 nice size patties and not one unhealthy ingredient in it.
So my praise to myself is look at what I'm eating and make it better, and I did.

Anyone wanting to friend me please feel free to do so. Nest to graditude - friends are most important

Good Morning friends.

Had a rough start to my week already. One of my staff member's husband passed away and the funeral was yesterday. This morning we learned that another staff member's mother just passed away. We are a small office, so this really hits home - I think there are 12 of us, and 4 physicians. So, when something like this happens, we are all deeply affected. The lady that just lost her mom is also my neighbour and a dear friend.

MY BFF is here, as she came up for the funeral yesterday. So, it was great to see her, and we did go for a run together yesterday. That is what we did to be kind to ourselves. Went home and had a nice glass of wine. :blushing:

The week can only get better - right?

Have a wonderful day all. :flowerforyou:

Hi Everyone, I've been away for a few days but I'm back. The girls and I went home for the weekend. My husband and I are living 200 miles apart right now as he tries to sell our house and move with us. I got to see my mom, she's has been very sick the passed year and we are lucky to still have her with us. Monday and today I was home with a sick child and ate myself silly. I am back on track tomorrow!! I've been getting a walk in daily but not very long because the girls don't do well and so my walks are short. I'm gonna keep chugging away Now it's to bed. Have a great day tomorrow, I plan to. Sandy

The thing I did to love me yesterday was Zumba! Worked out really hard and high impact and it felt great!

Today, I turned down a breakfast burrito from the sales meeting! Ya for me! My blueberry granola bar was delish!

Nice day here - got my run/walk in today and getting ready to do the aerobics DVD. I can relate to your feelings about Las Vegas. I recently moved to New Jersey and am still trying to establish myself. Family and friends are back in St Louis and it has been a bit difficult to get used to things out here. Have signed up for a Yoga class and some ministries at my church to get to know people which I hope will help. Also joined the Book Club at the library - maybe some of these ideas will work for you.
