I hope work isn't so boring today, but if it is, just think, it can only get better. And if it doesn't, I suppose it is lucky to have a job right now...but I am the eternal optimist and think it will get better. :)
So, in this whole better thy-self thing we are doing here I am working on bettering my insides too, and I'd thought I'd share my new rules for myself.
- For every bad thought or sentence I have about myself, I must say three things that I like/are good about myself.
- I must think of one thing I am thankful for everyday.
- When I am stressed I will meditate/yoga it out rather than turning to food.
- This week, I have been trying to stretch A LOT, and have discovered how truly relaxing "yoga" is. My version of yoga is not near what it is supposed to be, but I suppose I'll get there if I keep practicing. I always wondered why all of the celebrities said yoga was so relaxing and they could meditate while doing it, well I finally figured it out I guess. Taking deep breaths while stretching slowly is seriously the most calming thing I've EVER done and I finally see what all of the hoopla is about! It is easier for me to relax when I pick out some moves from the computer or a magazine and do them by myself rather than watching a DVD, but I am learning some of the names and such.
- Don't eat anything you didn't bring with you. The mod CONSTANTLY has crap/junk that people bring. Cookies, brownies, cake, chips, etc. (like your office?) Where is the healthy stuff we are telling our patients to eat? And why am I the only one with such a shitty metabolism that if I eat it I gain weight!?!? (**My metabolism may be slow, but I am smart, caring and driven.)
- Exercise is a must. I am going to have to schedule this in or I will never do it. Even if I have to get up even earlier, I vow to exercise no less than 3x per week.
- Don't let the toxic people around you drive you to bad habits. "Just one won't hurt" is a saying that not only applies to drugs, but also food (which I honestly consider a type of drug--it can hurt you, make you feel good, and cover up your problems...).
Ok, so those are both works-in-progress, but are things I have been thinking about lately. Especially becaue I have exactly ONE MONTH until I am back into the lions den.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I'm sorry. I'm allergic to that. It makes me break out in fat."
I feel really dumb right now.....so no one ever really measured me to tell me how tall I was....and if they did I must have had shoes on or shrunk. I have 5'5" entered as my height....I am actually 5' 3 1/2". CRAP. At least it doesn't change my daily points allowance. Thank goodness I am not 5'1" instead.
THAT IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
