Getting Healthy!

Yesterday was day one! Today is day two! It's simple, but since I was successful on day one, I can be successful on day two, right?

Let me start at the beginning. On Saturday I came across something a friend of mine had liked on Facebook, so I liked it too. It looked interesting. It was a 8 week Get Healthy challenge from Six Sisters' Stuff blog. My sister, Sue, saw that I had liked it and she like it too and asked if I wanted to do it with her and her husband. I did! Mark and Carolyn also wanted to do it. When my friend, Laurie, saw what we had like, she wanted in as well. So did our mom, and our cousin, Lorena. Now we have a great group who are encouraging each other and getting healthy!

So, yesterday was day one! I ate healthy, exercised and drank lots of water! Easy! I did think about food more than usual, but in a good way.

This morning I saw something else that a friend had liked and I had a look. It is some more inspiration for me for this day. It is called Drops of Awesome. I love the concept that even if you make mistakes, which we all do, and aren't the best mom or wife or mother or Christian or whatever, I can do it right sometimes. I can make a good food choice and collect that drop of awesome. The more conscious I am of each drop of awesome, or each positive thing I do, the more drops I will collect. It's all about changing my attitude from negative to positive. Look at all the good I do and get rid of the negative.

I am going to make a couple of signs to put up around the house reminding me to look for the drops of awesome!

I stayed up until 1:30 am on Sunday night talking with Ethan. That's a huge drop of awesome. I don't get to spend much time with him because he is living in Victoria, but he was here to do some mission prep errands yesterday and we had a lovely visit. All the things he needed to do yesterday were done so quickly and easily. We both felt very blessed by the end of the day!

Now I need to go and look for more drops of awesome in my day! Have a good one!
