Another Random Thankful Thursday

Where do the weeks go to ?  It just seems like time is flying by so fast before I know it I will be 50 and able to apply for senior citizens discounts !!!!

Linking in with Kate from katesaysstuff for {a random} Thankful Thursday this week :

- for losing 2.8kg in two weeks which included a weekend away, and eating out two nights with friends at Mexican and Indian restaurants and the acceptance that every day does not have to be 100% for me to succeed - life goes on and I need to work out how to deal with that and my eating/drinking

- for my lovely on-line friends who are motivating and encouraging me with my exercising

- for my iPhone (yes I do like using it for this) for keeping track of how far and how fast I am walking / running

- for working out that if I run on the road rather than the pavement my knee likes loves me more and behaves better for me

- for my shoes and inner soles that are helping my knee behave like it should when I exercise

- for my trainer who pushes me to the limits that he knows I am capable of even when I am dry retching all over the place

- for FINALLY getting our NZ blog finished (I will be posting this on my blog soon)

- for the gratitude app that Lee from Mummyissues showed me - I have been using it daily and finding that it is doing me so much good taking time to reflect each evening on what I have to be grateful for - especially on the days when it feels like it is all turning to sh*t - when I think about it there are always at least four things to be grateful for

- for my pen and paper diary who have saved me more than once in recent weeks (even though it did a cr*p job yesterday - or maybe that was my fault seeing as I hadn't written said item in it in the first place !!)

- for my fantastic family who (most of the time) really do an amazing job with putting up with me

- for the opportunity to sign up for Warrior Dash seeing as The Stampede was so much fun.

Thanks again to Kate for hosting Thankful Thursday - as always, it is good to link up and share the blog love with others who are also thankful.

What are you thankful for this week ?

TFTD : It is not that those who are strong never get weak in the knees, or that they never hold their breath.  It's that while their knees are shaking, they force themselves to breathe and take another step.

    1. Yes Enid - there is a great app called Gratitude 365 and another Photo 365 which you can set a reminder for every day. It is great to sit down each day and reflect on what has been and look for the things that are right instead of concentrating on what has gone wrong.
      Good luck with the new phone !!!
