12 of 100 ... Saturday hurdle accomplished!

Last week I bombed on my Saturday; this week was much better!  I made a list last night of what I wanted to accomplish over the weekend and checked off a few items today.  Also, I took my 10-Day Celebration today, which was nice! It wasn't what I planned but it fit well, so I went with it.


Part 1 - Gratitude Moments in my Day.
1. Today, I am grateful for: having a good sleep in the last part of the night.  I coughed for most of the night, but around 4:00 I finally fell asleep and it was wonderful!  Waking all warm under the covers on a day that I don't have to be up at 8:00 was delicious. 
2.  Today, I am grateful for: a call from my brother.  Every time I talk to him, I get the nudge that I need to call him more.  Our talks are beneficial, they are inspiring and supportive, I just love him more whenever I talk to him. 
3.  Today, I am grateful for: getting my nails done.  This was my 10-Day Celebration to myself.  And, I got a colour (which is something I rarely do).  So, red nails with purple sparkle over them ... bright and happy! I look at my nails and tell myself I'm on my way!
4. Today, I am grateful for: a productive day.  I made a list and I checked off 3 things from that list, so, all in all, a good day!  Let's see if I can check the same number off again tomorrow ... or more?
5.  Today, I am grateful for: a call from my Aunt Anne.  I'm grateful that she checks in on me and up on me every so often.  I may feel like I don't have family any more, but her calls remind me that I do. 


Part 2: Steps out of the Rut
1.  6 cups of water?  yup!  Phil suggested to me that I set an alarm on my clock for every 2.5 hrs and use that as a reminder.  I didn't do it today, but I'll find an app and do it for tomorrow.
2.  Clean sink? yup!  it feels so good to wake up to a clean sink!
3.  20 min activity?  yup!  I found a 20 min walking video on YouTube that was PERFECT for me!  the one thing I have to remember is to wear proper footwear and I think I might even get some insoles for tomorrow.  The side of my calf is a bit sore, and I think it's because of this and last thing I need is to damage myself! So ... I did my 3-days of activity for this last week!! Feels good!


Am I noticing any changes?  I think so.  I am craving water and it feels good to drink it.  I know that my bodily functions are better as a result.  I also am feeling better about my days.  Depression isn't quite a heavy on my shoulders and that's a wonderful feeling! Not even 2 weeks into this and I'm feeling good about it!
