Proud

Lately I've been kind of beating myself up, never feeling like I'm doing enough - at work, for school, eating healthy, exercising, losing weight, etc. So I decided to write a post about what I'm proud about, even if it's the little things:

I am proud that I...

• Woke up at 5:00 AM this morning to run 4 miles. It wasn't the 5 miles I hoped for, but it was better than sleeping in.
• Packed broccoli slaw with chickpeas for lunch today.
• Finished a wicked-hard boot camp yesterday.
• Have eaten well all week, except for last night.
• Signed up for the GRE, so it will motivate me to STUDY!
• Am going back to school.
• Volunteer at the women's shelter.
• Am known as a runner. When a friend at work asked our athletic trainer about training to run a half marathon, he referred her to me for guidance.
• Embrace my healthier lifestyle. I definitely am nowhere near perfect, but I normally eat healthy and work out regularly, which is a huge improvement from a few years ago.
• Keep a clean house.
• Can be more spontaneous and am not so afraid of change.
• Save my money.
• Have new friends in our new area.
• Chose an excellent spouse that I love and admire.
• Read books that are good for me, along with some "fun reads".
• Enjoy trying new foods, especially healthy ones.
• Work for a place I believe in.
• Am known as a hard worker.
• Can remain positive even when frustrated.
