Day 5

Things I'm proud of from Day 4:

• I took the dog on a nice walk
• I had some laughs with my husband
• I got meals planned for me for the week (and for the bunnies which is a huge help!)
• I have gotten into a habit of getting something to eat from a fast food place at SDSU after I finish my volunteer work there at noon. Yesterday I went to Starbucks and treated myself to an iced coffee instead.

My Daily Give: Gosh, I can't say that I did anything other than what I would have done otherwise. I read at the KPBS Reading Room so I gave up about 4 hours of my day to drive to SDSU to read for the visually impaired for 2.5 hours. It's something I do monthly. I also left a phone message on my neighbor's answering machine that made them laugh. I like bringing laughter to someone's day. :)

Something I'm grateful for today: I have so much abundance in my life. It's really quite unbelievable to me how abundant our life is--my husband and I. With so many people in our country losing jobs we are both employed. We have a house we can afford (even if one of us were to get laid off), our cars are paid for, we have several little trips planned for this year, and there is really nothing that we are lacking...except maybe free time!

My plan for today:

• I have my meals for the day planned and packed in my lunch bag.
• I have my workout clothes so that I can do my C25K plan for today at work.
• I have a professional organization meeting tonight. I will not eat the warm bread they put on the table at the restaurant! I will order one of the *few* healthier meals this restaurant offers (halibut with asparagus). Today is a long day (I won't get home until 10pm) but I want to get home and relax with my husband and pets before falling into bed.
