Update

Beans are doing super awesome. I just wish I had more direct sun on my patio area so they could really bloom. Perhaps I will have to get a heat lamp for them. See if I can glow some tomatoes. That would be sweet. I still miss my old apartment in that aspect. The afternoon sun that warmed my face as I napped on the couch is dearly missed but this place is bigger and better in some ways. We can't be happy all the time but for now... I am feeling more motivated to do healthy things for myself and to get out of the office and away from my desk on my breaks and lunch. I think it's better for everyone that way. Too much distraction and waaaaaaaaay too easy to just work instead of taking time for myself.

There is a lady at my office that is a great inspiration. She started at what I can only assume was over 300 lbs and has dropped 65 at last count. She is very proud of herself and her improving health is a huge motivation. I realized that though I complained a little bit the sore legs were a great feeling. It meant I used them.

Here's to health!!

motivation

Todays happy was me motivating myself into working out. I have discovered the difference between getting out there and getting out there and enjoying it is technology. haha I know sounds strange but I used my GPS unit to track how far and MPH. I also used music on my iPod as motivation for my feet to move faster. I tell you walking to Flogging Molly is dangerous, but fun.

I am acknowledging Matthews mess giggle and adding that I knocked over a few things today but the mess made me happy. It meant I was making progress with what needed to be done. There is always a huge mess before a clean area when it involves me.

I have beens!!!

Today my happy moment was when my hands were in dirt. I miss gardening with my mom. Sadly I stopped doing that when I was in high school but this year I think I shall add that back to my agenda. Hopefully I will get my fill of dirty days and possibly find something to do with my mother that isn't screaming or shopping. Both are tiresome.

Tip of the day: Find something you miss and jump in and get dirty.

Just the good stuff

Life is filled with so much good, bad and ugly. Unfortunately the latter two are what make us realize the first. I hope that someone wanders across this blog and can take from it a little something. We often get busy with our lives and forget to enjoy the little things. If you do come across this and want to share please comment or possibly join the team of the joys of little things.
