HOLIDAY SURVIVAL CHALLENGE - WEIGH IN DAY!!
I am happy with my results this week. I'm a little below (1/2)lb my pre-Thanksgiving weight. I couldn't be happier.
I am really impressed with the results so far. We have lost more than 60lbs in the first week!! And that is right after Thanksgiving!! I'm so impressed. Did I say that?
The next week's challenge starts tomorrow. Stay tuned for details!! :)
Now, I have to share my affirmation story.
I started doing my affirmations a couple weeks ago - but was inconsistent about it. This week, I was really good about it. I did them in the morning and evening. And again if I was in the car by myself in the afternoon.
On Tuesday, I was thinking about work and how I'm not entirely happy with my bartending job. I am really sore after I work, my arthritis is really bad, I'm swollen, and my boss can be a difficult boss. I don't hate it. It just makes me uncomfortable. I decided to add two more lines to my affirmations. "I enjoy my job and look forward to going to work." and "My job opens doors for me and provides unique opportunities for me."
Last night I worked. I felt really good about going in and actually felt myself not dreading work!! I know that's not like "looking forward to it", but its better than it has been. I had a great night. Everything went smoothly. My boss was funny and entertaining. And the evening went rather quickly. I have only had this job for about a month, so I'm still meeting the "regulars". Last night I overheard some people at a table say, "She has some personality. She is going to be great here." It made me feel really good.
Now, I realize that not all of that has to do with my affirmations. But I really believe that my positive attitude going into it made all the difference. I was happy. No matter how negative my boss was, I stayed positive. And I really do like her, she is just a really picky person - and I know that. She has worked really hard to make this place what she wants it to be, so she has the right to be picky. It just is a little intense sometimes. But last night she was really funny and I had a good time with her for the first time.
So, that's my story. Perhaps its needless to say, but I am going to continue with the affirmations.
