Positivity of the Day(s)

Playing a little catch up:

June 3 - My birthday! Got a brand new Go Pro (which I’ve wanted for years now) for filming videos and recording races and stuff! :D

June 4 - Celebrated with my parents! Had a delicious meal and opened about 6 different birthday cards that all made me smile and are now hanging in my apartment for me to see every day!!!

June 5 - Bought a new pair of jeans to replace my pairs with holes in the thighs! Also found a few cute tanks and a pair of capris for working out in! (Also, the XXL shirts at Old Navy were too big for me, which I did not expect and was exciting to find out.)

Day Four!

Week 1, Day 4
Gratitude Thursday! What are 5 things you are grateful for today?

Yeah yeah I’m a bit behind! Yesterday was a bit rough and the time I usually spent looking at tumblr was commandeered by my illness. Womp womp.

Five things though! I can do this! 1 - I am grateful for my husband, who is being incredibly supportive during this bit of annoying hell. 2 - I am grateful for good friends, specifically my besties both Northern and Southern for telling me it’ll be okay and that I’m not alone. 3 - I’m grateful for my compassion and humor and that I don’t fall into grumpy or surly moods too often. 4 - I’m grateful for corn tortillas. (It’s silly, they made me happy last night!) and hot sauce. 5 - I’m grateful that I have the opportunities I do to get help.

Jump Start June! Day Three (*itches!)

Week 1, Day 3 What is keeping you from achieving any goals you have set? How can you overcome those obstacles? Make a mini goal to work on one (example: busy schedule keeps you from eating well - prepare meals in advance to avoid grabbing unhealthy snacks/meals Well my self esteem is being hindered by negative thinking that is affected by the food I eat. I have celiac disease and when I eat gluten it targets depression and anxiety episodes. My self esteem is also affected by my own thoughts and self worth, so...I think I need to start trying to find the positives in myself, I'm already trying to follow my gluten free diet but I will not log about that because it's a giant trigger for me. Little goals for today: -eat and log three meals. (I logged everything but hubs had to make me a makeshift dinner because I couldn't bring myself to eat last night) -continue to track not so great thoughts/emotions. -try to track a good emotion! Something positive for my self-esteem. Lookit that! I did my goals on time and everything.
