Small Wins

Phew. Still stoked that I finished day 1 of my training yesterday. My body doesn't even really feel sore...so I think it's adjusting to running pretty well. I ended up hanging out with my friend Manda after work. We went to the Cheesecake Factory (how the hell does a salad have 1400 calories? seriously??) and then went to see Robin Hood which I actually liked :) We did stay up til 2am (ugh) so I didn't get up and work out. I am going to do it after work though, and then going to meet some new ladies to start a book club. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time. I hope it goes well.

Today the book talked about celebrating small wins. Sometimes we get caught up in the slip ups we had in the day--such as, getting off track with calories, not exercising, feeling crappy at work, etc--and forget the many good things that actually happened during the day. The book says to "look at your actions" and remember all the things you did well during the day. "These include any of your efforts that make you feel more successful, happy, healthy or peaceful." 164  I like that it's once again a reminder to remember your small victories.  Yesterday, some of the kids were just...grating on my nerves, and I know I lost my temper one time with a kid. But, we had a great water balloon toss event, had a slammin' rotation, and did well despite the fact we had no access to the gym. Plus, of course, my run.  Anyway, I'm kind of the type who generally focuses on the positive and shuns the negative (when it comes to me and encouraging myself), so I'm going to use this as a reminder to keep remembering those small wins in my life :)  Ok, gotta get dressed and be at work by 9. eesh!
