Saying YES Again.

Another take-way from You are a Badass ... saying YES.

Where have I heard this before?? Um, everywhere.  Yet, it's really easy for me to slip into NO-mode. Hearing it again is GOOD for me!!

I'm too tired.
It's too hard.
I'll do it some other time.
It probably won't be fun.
It's hot outside.
There are bugs.
I need to go to bed.
The dogs.
Too much work.
Too much time.
Not my thing.
Not my problem.

I go there (see above) a lot.  Then I wonder why my FUN has mysterious vanished.

So I added some YES to my calendar.  Some big-fun things and some little-fun things.  Case in point, I was on the fence about saying YES to the Releash event last night.  I did and we had a really good time - even though I was up late, had to get up with the dogs this morning, etc.  It was worth it.

PS I did well on the food front too. Nothing "perfect" but good choices. It was raining a lot of the night, so we sat at the tables instead of setting up a booth.  That meant I could order food, etc.  No alcohol, salad for dinner ... BUT some really good french fries that we ordered for the table.  No snacking when I got home and needed to be on dog-duty for 45 minutes - yea ME.

PPS The waiter was tired of bringing me refills on club soda, so he brought me THIS .... (yes, I'm 10 minutes older having restarted my computer, etc to bring up this picture) ...

My DREAM club soda!!

I worked on my MANTRA yesterday and it's coming along.  I'll share it when it's in better form and I've tested it out a little more.

My ankle held up for a 2 mile walk and a slow 1 mile jog on the treadmill yesterday (followed by a short 1 mile walk with the dogs).  It's sore this morning though.  I need to keep giving it rest, so just a lift workout this morning.

My morning is a bit rushed - had some rescue stuff early this morning (everyone was up early and messaging like crazy).  My big dog to the groomer ahead of pictures, nails for me and TONS of Releash application work this afternoon.  My StitchFix was due to arrive yesterday, but didn't make it.  Fingers crossed it comes today.

On that note, I need to get to my workout or it won't happen today.  Hump day already!  Later gators.
