Check That Attitude

After watching The Secret last night, I was very aware of myself today.  I noticed every negative thought, and did my best to balance it out in a positive way.  I also spent a lot of time thinking about how greatful I am to be healthy and happy.  I really believe this will make a great difference in my life.  Cate let me keep her DVD for the rest of the week, so I’ll get to watch it a couple more times and take lots of notes!

Work wise, I spent most of today trying to get those shadow boxes put together, though I have to stop every time a customer comes along.  I should have focused on the smaller one, I might have at least been able to get it done today!  I’ll be able to get them done tomorrow though, and I’ll take pictures then.  I took a couple today, but they were more detailed structural things that I was proud of myself for figuring out.  (Like a close-up of how the ball is sewn down!)  I want to do more shadow boxes, they’re really fun!  Oh, some time soon I’ll put up pictures of some of the other ones I’ve done too!  Every time I do a shadow box, I want to do one for myself.  I keep thinking about my brownie & girl scout patches, though I wasn’t that into all of it, and I can’t really remember a lot of the activities, or how I got my patches, or anything like that… ~L~ So I’d just end up with this big thing that wouldn’t mean that much to me, and it would take up valuable wall space that could be used for something better!  I think I’ll just stick the patches in some sort of album and leave it at that!  I actually do have some skeleton keys that I want to put in a shadow box, I’ve got everything ready to do it, I just need to take the time to sit down and attatch them all!

After work, mom and I went shopping, I got some more scrapbook paper, because I really, really needed more… (you know, to match the other billion pieces I all ready have!) Then we went to costco and stocked up on lettuce and mushrooms and avocados and all that good stuff!  Oh, and I got season 10 of friends, my collection is now complete!  I watched a whole disk tonight, I’ve only seen a little of season 10, so I’m egar to watch them!  We were going to go to the gym, but mom wasn’t feeling well, so I was just going to work out by myself, then I didn’t.  Tuesday is becoming my unofficial day of rest.  Oh, which reminds me, I didn’t post my weekly workout report on Sunday like I should have, so here it is:

Sunday 18: Treadmill 45 min & Pilates

Monday 19: 30 min Elliptical & 10 min Walk

Tuesday 20: none

Wednesday 21: Kickboxing 1hr

Thursday 22: 45 min Elliptical

Friday 23: cleaning counts for something, right?

Saturday 24: 45 min walk away the pounds tape

Oh, and my weigh-in was 234 1/2, down one pound from last week, but up from the 233 it was the week before that.  Blah, time to break my little cycle.  I don’t crazy yo-yo, but I seem to struggle over 3 – 5 pounds for a while, then I’ll drop into the next range and struggle with that 3 – 5 pounds… It’s just silly, and it needs to stop.  At least I am working out more since I started the schedule.  I’m going to keep working on it too!
