Dark photo

Sorry about the dark photo. Too lazy to move my computer, I guess, but I just had to get this done. Hmm. I've got a lot of things going on, but sometimes when I have a lot on my plate I get a little overwhelmed and it gets hard to do anything. But I just do what I can and have faith that the rest will take care of itself. I'm reading a book by Russell Simmons (Def Comedy Jam, Def Jam Records). It's really inspiring.

Today, I'm really grateful for his book. (Title: Do You)

Week Five Begins

Yesterday I did an extra 1.5 miles and my strength training so I took a rest today. Tomorrow is my BIG WALK day. I'm going to do three miles or maybe 3.5, but I'll check really carefully. I'm a little sore today, but actually very excited about the soreness being in the actual muscles that I was working out instead of my back. I had the greatest organic zucchini with dinner. It didn't need anything on it. That magic box has really made it easy to eat clean. :)

Today I'm grateful I got to:
• Rest
• Eat SIX servings of fruits and vegetables
• Drink SIX glasses of water

End of Week Three

Wow! Where did week three go?

I just saw there were even more supportive shredder comments about my bummer week, and I've got to say SHREDDERS are the best.

Thank you guys so much for all your great support. And I thought I'd just give some more shout outs on my blog to everybody who commented on my most recent (I know I have more than most) bummer day:

Thank You Suzette from Suzette's Quest for Success for citing one of the most golden pieces of Truth I try to live by, "seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you."

Thank You To CK aka Christina's Blog My Modal Life for reminding me of the progress I've made so far and her encouragement of blogging about your feelings.

Thank You Michael from Michael's Fat Burning Machine for "being with me" and for setting such a great example of persistence.

Thanks again to Lynda for all the virtual hugs and good wishes. Nothing beats a heart of a Texan when you're feeling down.

Last but certainly not least, I want to say thank you to MIKE GROOM, aka Mike's Blog Aussie BodyBuilder
for all his supportive comments throughout this mission and naming his mission Harvey.

Thanks to all the shredders. We're all busy, and are trying to find balance. So your supportive comments and the time it takes to read and type is really appreciated.

Today I'm grateful for:
• My fellow shredder
• I drank FIVE glasses of water
• FOUR servings of fruits and vegetables

PS Our film, "Be Happy With What You Got" screened tonight at the 48 Hour Film Project. We all had a lot of fun, and we campaigned for the audience award with fliers attached to snacks which made it that much more fun, because we got to meet all the attendees. Can't wait to see if our snack bribes worked!

Missed it by that much!

My sister was on the computer for most of the day and I didn't know so this is my first chance to post. Boo. Missed the day by 26 minutes.

Yesterday (technically Wed.) I'm grateful I got to:

• Eat SIX servings of fruits and vegetables
• Walk a record 1.3 miles in ONE session I walk super slow, so this was a HALF hour of steady walking. I'm getting pretty excited
• Drink FIVE glasses of water
• Meditate

Woo hoo.

I'm putting together a funny poems section on one of my websites, and I'm experimenting with code stuff to see if it works. So you can ignore it or read it if you enjoy corny and/or mildly amusing words in a row.
