Trying to be thankful

There are a lot of things in my life I wish I could change. And a lot of the time I focus on them because I'm a problem solving type of person (hence beginning this blog with a list of goals). But a post by a friend on facebook today made me think about a couple of things in my life that I'm thankful for that I haven't really recognized. She commented how things in life that you worry about sometimes work out better than you ever could have planned on your own. This is a VERY hard concept for me, again because of how much of a planner/problem solver I am. But in the last few months I've had a great example of how true this can be. I was so anxious about having to move out of my old apartment last summer. I felt like there was no way I could find a place that my cats and I would be happier in. Boy was I wrong. Henry LOVES my new place...and my new roommate. I think he loves her more than me sometimes :-)

My awesome new roomie!

I am so thankful that things here have worked out as well as they have so far. It's a great thing to be able to confide in the person you live with and I feel very lucky to have that when I need it the most.

Anyway, that was my attempt at positiveness for the day! Back to the goals.

I went to the gym again today so I've been doing great at sticking to the every other day goal. Although I think I'm going to modify it to M, W, F (with maybe a weekend run thrown in depending on how I'm feeling) since I want to try to go to the barbell class every monday. Speaking of that, my arms are finally slightly less sore today! Yay! So maybe I can do that after all and not die haha.

Food wise I've continued to eat leftover burrito makings for dinner. And still haven't been able to cut out the dessert. So no real change on that front.

Studying...still an epic fail. I'm doing the bare minimum to get by. Sigh...next week maybe?

Time to head off for some roomie fun! We both need the unwind today!
