DAY 3 OF 75
Bored yet?
I'd give today a strong B+ - good effort, didn't quite knock it out of the park but not a bad day.
I did a treadmill work out with the Peloton app. I'm thinking of changing my Peloton name to CoolDownQueen since I pretty much, after 16 months of having the app, somehow manage to do primarily cool down workouts.
This one was a Scottish guy and I swear I had no clue what he said the entire 10 minutes I "cooled down" with him. It was intriguing though... kept me focused... or basically I walked with a "WTF" look on my face... which is honestly how I go through life most of the time. If you remember the RCA dog head tilt... that's me. Anyhow, the Scottish dude is chatting it up as I waddle through at 2.1 mph...
I seem to be recovering nicely from my underwear incident. Slow and steady. As I remind clients all the time... "Remember, the tortoise wins the race, not the hare."
And I'm definitely more tortoise these days. That could be an insult to tortoises now that I think of it.
I'm sitting here typing after 9 really wanting to snack. I did eat after 7:30 but only because we ate later. So 8.
But I'm not doing this all or nothing crap. That's what I always do. Then I throw in the towel and go down a dark spiral and end up licking the butter dish at midnight. Not really... but pretty close. I'm not sure when night grazing became such a thing for me. I think it's once I got a TV. I was the weirdo without a TV forever. Then I didn't have cable until I got married. What can I say? I was really busy.
So B+ it is.
But the reality is, the day was an A+. I can't share my work stuff, but I made a difference today. I was there when someone needed me.
I came home to my husband and like the video from yesterday suggested, I greeted him like I had missed him. I was grateful for him. This resulted in a pretty fun evening making dinner together and we always eat dinner together as a family. It's amazing how resetting an attitude has a huge impact on not just me, but everyone.
And then my friend Kimberly writes about me in her blog-- and says all kinds of nice things... and how awesome is that gift? Our Highest Selves
The B+ went to an A+.
As I beat myself up for letting myself go, it was nice to know that some people could see me beyond what I see in the mirror. Maybe it was because I started the day with positive energy that the universe gave me some back?
I have far more to be grateful for than to complain about. The next few weeks that will be my focus.
