Day 3

1. I very much didn't want to go into work today because of this project that gives me endless migraines. I decided to go into work with a positive attitude and I beat that project's ass!

2. My boss and I had a meeting of all the things that she had to do while I'm away on vacation in a couple of weeks and instead of giving me negative feedback like she normally does, she actually said I did a good job preparing and was very detailed (which I take pride in)

3. Usually at work, I have a very apathetic attitude towards my co-workers plans for the week and/or weekend. But today I decided to be interested in their conversation and actually had pretty pleasant conversations with them and it made the workday not so bad.

4. Today my sister got her results back from the doctor and she doesn't have cancer! Which is a positive thing, but she does have celiac disease, which is a negative thing. She has to go gluten-free for the rest of her life. So in support of my sister, I decided to go gluten-free as well. I probably should anyway to be honest. I'm actually kind of excited about this. Pinterest has all these awesome ideas for gluten free diets and there are apps for your phone to help you find restaurants that have gluten free menu items. It'll be hard for the first month or so, but I'll get used to it.

5. I biked for 6 miles today!

Day Two Electric Boogaloo

I really didn't do much today to be positive or negative but I'll post a couple positive things

1. ran one mile in 2 minutes less than what I did yesterday and also biked 2 more miles in 20 minutes than I did yesterday

2. finally caught up with Dexter and now I can watch it live on Sunday nights

3. forced my mom to go to the gym with me today because she made a commitment and if I'm sticking to it, she does also. She was grateful after we went.

4. I did laundry without having to motivate myself to do it, I just did it, which is weird for me

5. I had 2 healthy meals today and didn't binge eat like I've been doing for the past 6 months. I missed breakfast because I slept in and then immediately went to the gym. But, hey, eating a healthy lunch and dinner is better than nothing!

6. I just deleted all my drafts that were just really sad, depressing posts that I decided was best not to post at the time. Ain't got no time for that ish anymore!

I'm a little excited to do these lists during the work week. It'll be a lot harder to find things to be positive about, and I like a challenge.

Positive Peter

So I read this article about positivity (is that a word? Because Blogger isn't recognizing it) and I got inspired. Everyday I'm going to post in my blog all the good things that have happened in my day. I tend to only look at negative things and I have become EXTREMELY cynical these past few months and I don't want to live that way. I got a pretty good life and others don't so I have to stop taking advantage. I'm always harping about wanting to be happy but I think happiness stems from my attitude and blossoms from there!


Here's today's list.

1. I went to the gym for the second day in a row which is a record for me
2. I ran 5 miles at said gym
3. I watched a movie and ate dinner with my brother which we don't do enough
4. Clueless was on TV


That's all I have for today but I'm hoping this little experiment will result in a more positive attitude. :)
