I was planning to write about a Jim Rohn video I watched yesterday.  He tells simple stories (almost boring in fact) and then WHAM ... huge kicker that knocks you off your feet.  But I'll wait until I have more time .... 'cause it's an important entry ... something I want to re-read when I need that old kick in the buttocks.

So today is about ME, yesterday.  I'm proud of my yesterday self.

Had a girls night social group last night.  Just a few door down.  Always involves lots of wine (since no driving), food and a fun time.  I had planned to stay the course (this was not going to be an exception night).  Why??  Because Saturday IS an exception night.  And exceptions have to be just that ... can't have too many in a row ... duh!!

Well, anyway ... looked like Saturday was going to fall through.  Enter brain conversation ...

Maybe you should make tonight an exception?
Don't you deserve it?
Won't be fun if you don't drink.
It's just a glass or two.

BUT, I didn't listen.  I stayed the course.  Reminded myself of my WHYs.  Reminded myself this night didn't need to be an exception.  AND, the best part ... I had a great time.  We socialized, made pillows, ate good food (lots of healthy choices).

AND ... wait for it ... came home to learn Saturday was a go again.  So thank the lord I didn't change up last night.  Good job ME!

Oh and I feel good this morning.  No wine or food blahs, no regrets, no self-loathing ... nothing but proud.

Today I'm off to an economic lecture sponsored by our investment banker.  I'll pass on the wine, eat healthy, get a good nap (just kidding - hope it's not that boring!).  I'm going with hubby - kind of date day.  This is part of my learn new shit stuff quest.

It worked because it's a MUST and it's not an UNTIL.  I'm open to this day and what it has to offer (hello economics).
