February 17th ~Day 11 of the 21 Day Challenge
Gratitude~
1. I am grateful I got to go to a Detroit Red Wings hockey game, at Joe Louis Arena
2. I am grateful that I got to sneak out of work early
3. I am grateful to see friends we haven't seen for a while
4. I am grateful to see their son, who we haven't seen in even longer
5. I am grateful the Red Wings won, this was only the second time I've been at a game they won, all other times they have lost... I was starting to worry I was a jinx, and who wants to be responsible for ending the 22 win streak-NOT ME!!!
6. I am grateful it was an exciting game
7. I am grateful I got to see a squid hit the ice
8. I am grateful for the yummy massive amounts of food we consumed
9. I am grateful my camera lens came in the mail today... even if they said nothing was wrong with it and now I'm worried it will break again, but it's back and working for now, so I'm not gonna sweat it until then!!!
WHEW!! I think that's it!!
Journal a positive thing that happened~
The whole day from 4:30 on was pretty positive, so...
Exercise~
Unless you count that mountain of stairs up to the Joe, then NO! Not today
Meditation~
Well, I think I may have sunk into a zen like, food coma on the trip home from Detroit!!
Randon Act of Kindness,Thank person in social support network~
I thanked the friend who took us to the hockey game, more than once!!!
February 18 ~Day 12
Gratitude~
1. theBoys went to Grand Rapids to work on recording CD, so I was grateful for a little peace and quiet.
2. Maddy came home, so I was grateful to see her.
3. Maddy really likes the Script writing I've been working on, and asked me to write on a shirt, for her to wear to a black light party -later that night.
I'm grateful for the compliment, that she likes the writing.
4. I'm grateful she had so much confidence in me, that I could attempt something she would wear in public
5. I'm grateful that it turned out pretty cool
6. I'm grateful for the 3 new pairs of shoes I found -on sale today {I'm going back for the 4th pair before this week is over too!} good thing my husband NEVER reads this, maybe I should be grateful about that right now too!!!
7. I'm grateful for the fun day Maddy and I had.
Journal a positive event~
Ummm, again, the whole day was kind of positive. But finding shoes I like is a pretty big deal. I have short fat hobbit feet, and I hate wearing high heels{mostly cuz I'm sooo clumsy and I walk like a guy in heels} so finding shoes that fit me, that I like is usually a challenge. This is the ONLY thing from the 80's I'm glad to see come back... flats!!!
Exercise~
Ran out of time, but it was in the plan for the day. The shopping and shirt making took up way too much of the day!! Oh and I had to paint Maddy's nails too!
Meditation~
Took a Nap!!
Random act of kindness, thank a person in your social support network~
ugh, nope not really! Unless you count thanking the check out girl at WalMart for not being pissed at me, when I dropped a bottle of nail polish and it broke all over the floor, AT the checkout!!! yeah, I'm clumsy!!
February 19th ~Day 13
Gratitude
1. Grateful that I maintained my composure and didn't kill my cranky husband, when he pissed me off this morning, being a bit of an ass!!! Sure maybe I've been cranky for days now, but this is my blog, which he doesn't read, so I can spin that story any way that I choose!!!!
2. Grateful that we finally went grocery shopping today
3. Grateful we still had enough money for groceries after the hockey game
4. Grateful I didn't kill anyone in Meijers while getting groceries, people are so RUDE!! We need some Spring in this area SOON! People have serious Winter Blues!!!
5. Grateful for the wonderful Salmon, potatoes, and broccoli dinner my husband made, I'm sure it was all part of the sucking up and apologizing for his bad behavior this morning!!! Or maybe he's scared I'm gonna check out on someone soon, so he's trying to make me fat and happy!!! Either way it was yummy!!!
6. Grateful that I ran into a friend, I haven't seen in a while, at the grocery store. She told me her son, who has Cancer, is doing well~hugely grateful for that, for her!!
Journal a positive event~
The most positive thing about my day was finding out that my friends son is doing well and now only has to have a monthly maintenance treatment for the next 3 years.
Exercise~
YES!
Walked a mile, biked 5 and did 7 flights of stairs on the stair climber{note to self, in the future-do stairs first, not last, so maybe I can actually do more!!}
Found a 5k training program on line... It's called "Couch to 5k in 8 weeks" I will be starting that on Monday or Tuesday. It is pretty intense but only 3 days per week, so maybe I can stick with it!! You can also take longer than 8 weeks, so I am planning on closer to 16-20, unless I am able to tough it out or drop dead, which ever happens first!!!! It's designed so that you can repeat weeks if you need to, and I'm sure I will need to, cuz I'm SOOO unfit!!
Random act of kindness thank someone in your social support network~
I plan to forgive Ryan for his bad behavior, AND thank him for dinner!!!
WHEW!!! That was a lot of catching up!!! Now if I can just get the rest of my life caught up!!
I will post the shirt painting project this week some time. I think it actually turned out pretty dang cool...
