Day 129 - Thankful Thursday!
On this Thursday, I am thankful for the following:
- My family, friends & co-workers for their encouragement in my journey to a new & wonderful lifestyle (and for putting up with my neurotic behavior).
- I am thankful to have shaken off my bad mental attitude & the affect the “#” on the scale was giving me.
- Good music that motivates me when I am working out. Which BTW, I listen to at work & am starting to want to suddenly start doing intense cardio at my desk – I think I might have a problem…lol
- Great support from my DietBet teammates – see below for follow up.
- My new toothbrush – cause it is a beauty & makes my teeth feel great & thus makes me want to smile more, in turn creating that positive-ness that is keeping this week going.
- My dog for loving me like no one else.
- My laugh & the ability to laugh at myself.
- My journey so far. I have come a long way & sometimes I get excited with what I have already accomplished that I look at the finish line & think it is near…I realize I have many many more paths to travel & gaining the patience to maintain & keep it all going is so valuable. For me this is a definite learned ability…I am a “I want it to happen & I want it to happen now” kinda gal. I know life doesn’t work this way & I am learning that it will come with patience & sticking to the game plan.
These are just a few that came to my mind. What are you thankful for (small & silly thanks like my toothbrush or larger thanks?). Saying your thanks out loud or in writing…it gives you a bit of humility that we can all use. It doesn’t matter the size, it only matters that you are thankful…
Keeping with my weekly positivity pledge, I am also thankful that I am a positive person & that I take great pride in trying my best to make others feel positive & great about themselves…so take a look in the mirror & tell yourself that you look good…
Lastly – I am thankful for all my DietBet family…your are my rocks, my inspiration, my motivation & my kick in the ass – thanks for always helping & never judging…
LAUGH, LOVE & SMILE...the rest will take care of itself...BE KIND to YOURSELF & OTHERS!
