Day 31 or 32?

I started this journey on Oct 29. I've posted every day.  I hope they all are posted and I qualify, as I'm ready for drastic change and I flounder on how to get there. So here is the last entry.

1 I love that I did this! What an accomplishment.

2 I love designing purses, and I've decided to branch out and learn about jewelry and shoes.

3 I love the positive feedback I received today on my latest project. I always fear putting it out there, but I did it anyhow.

4 I love being supportive of my friend who is in crisis. It's all I can do for her, and it doesn't feel like much but I think she appreciates it

5 I love that I'm beginning to crave healthy food options. I craved a salad today!

6 I love the weird mole on my arm. Its a birthmark sort of thing and it's very unique

7 I love the bump on My arm where it once broke. After all these years I can still feel it, and I remember surviving a 6 week cast in the middle of summer! What an experience for an 8 year old. Its a badge of honor

8 I love that I'm health conscious.  I continue to share my knowledge with those who don't understand GMOs, food from China, etc.

9 I love my neutral, skin toneish color nail polish. When I started this journey I wore black or gray. Does this have anything to do with the change???

10 I love me. Most of the time. I love who I am inside at least. I'm working on the outside and the demons that hold me back.

Thank you for the opportunity to earn this program.

1 I love my friends. We are so different yet we click along like we've known each other forever

2 I love fish tacos. Can I ever five them up?

3 I love honesty.  I despise deception

4 I love my car.  I bought it because it was big enough, safe, and gets awesome mileage.  Its not gorgeous but it is efficient

6 I love that I share food sensitivities with my crazy cats!

7 I love that I haven't had cheese in five days

8 I love that I had a green drink for breakfast

Day 28?

Day 28? 29?  I've lost track. I haven't saved all of these so I'm really not sure :-(

1 I love being lazy on Sunday. I require rejuvenating time

2 I love that I'm thinking more about the food I eat again. I was lost for a while

3 I love that my hair suddenly feels so much longer

4 I love that I realized today that my cats are a lot like me. We'll work on that!

5 I love that I had lots of water again today. I don't like water so it's a big deal

6 I love the skin on my inner arm. Its soft and has no blemishes.  I'd love to get the rest of my skin like that!

7 I love that I can accomplish a lot with email and text. They are time and money savers for me

8 I love that I wanted chips and dip today, and had microwave popcorn instead

9 I love that my Thanksgiving leftovers gave me two, small, satisfying meals

10 I love that I made myself do this tonight. It was hard

Day 28?

I think it may be day 27 or 28 but I'm not sure...

1 I love that I woke at 5am and ended up being a support for a friend in crisis via email. She said I helped.

2 I love that I went above and beyond for a coworker today (her words not mine)

3 I love that I made my first pendants tonight! 

4 I love that I dug until I found exactly the fabric I needed, hidden at the bottom of a heap, and I had a 50% off coupon for the cut!

5 I love that I offered advise on altering a pattern to a civil war buff making a costume

6 I love that I asked my SIL what she and the kids want for Christmas.  They are hard to shop for and this is a huge help

7 I love that I drank lots of water today!

8 I love the two compliments I got on my glasses today. They really made me happy.

9 I love that I read some more of my book this week. Its Eat to Live and very interesting

Day 26

Day 26

1 I love love love that I've stuck this out for 26 days! I'm so close to my goal :-)

2 I love my friend who gave me a carton of dairy free, coconut milk based "egg" nog. 90 calories, no tummy ache or congestion, and tastes just like the original!

3 I love my sister in law. 20 years and I've rarely seen her angry or upset. She has great balance

4 I love my little feet. Size 5, petite. When not swollen, they are lovely!

5 I love surprising people with conversation about things they don't know interest me. Not on purpose, just because. I love the little glimmer of "wow I can talk to you about this" that races across their face

6 I love that I recognize when the PMS symptoms kick in. Crazy hunger, weepiness, mood swings. Thank goodness its only about 4-5 days a month!

7 I love that I no longer eat every time I feel hungry.  Sometimes I let my tummy growl because its too late to eat, or I know I had enough earlier. I believe my body tries to trick me.

8 I love my giving nature

9 I love this process. Even on a bad day, I'm forced to reach and find something I love.

10 I love Kind Bars. Excellent snacks or breakfast items, totally healthy.  Mmmmm

DAY 25!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving

Day 25!  Happy Thanksgiving.

1 I love that I overate on far less food this year than last.  I am trying to be more conscious of when to stop, and since I've been eating less, I still stop earlier than before :-)

2 I love my dear, dear friends who include me on all major holidays, and have for...about 14 years now.

3 I love my family, who are far away but never forgotten.

4 I love mashed potatoes and gravy. And Turkey.  I've toyed with going vegan, but I'm not sure I could give up these and many other foods that I love. Maybe just once in a while? Does that count?

5 I love the purse I finished today. All issues resolved, the prototype is awesome and received great reviews.

6 I love that I wore pants that fit today. Usually I wear baggy pants. Not sure why I did it.

7 I love that at the last minute I put on a tank top that is clingy. I was comfortable because it was quite warm, and I was only a little self conscious.

8 I also love that I took off the big blouse I wore over the tank, right after I arrived at dinner. I never put it back on

9 I love that I went to Michael's on my way home and with my coupon, scored amazing deals for things we needed foe work.

10 I LOVE that I will NOT participate in black Friday, and will instead work on a custom order for Christmas Stockings.

5 I love that after three weeks I have resolved the handle problem on my new purse

7 I love that my cats are literally glaring at each other over who gets to lay the closest to me

8 I love that I can sleep on tomorrow

9 I love that I refuse flu shots and antibiotics. People who preach them are not informed. Beginning with my mother.

Day 23

Day 23?  YES!  Day 23!!  Wow!  I do hope that people are getting as much out of these as I get out of cruising through to see what folks are saying about themselves. 

 

1 I love my honesty.  Honest to a fault.  I'm not a good liar, and I'm not a good deceiver.  I think those are excellent things to be bad at!

 

2 I love that I am an awesome photographer.  I just took some really good photos of something that has mylar in it, so it's all glowing and shimmering.  Darn hard!

 

3 I love that I enjoy music pre-1986.  Mostly 60's and 70's.  I don't even pay attention to anything current.  And I'm fine with that!

 

4 I love my wide range of ecclectic tastes.  I hate to be tied down to just one thing.

 

5 I love that I'm slowly learning to trust more. 

 

6 I love the new red hair!!!  A new color I've not done in a long time, and now I remember how much I love it!!

 

7 I love that I said NO to the weekly pasta order from the local fresh made pasta place that the girls do at work.  It was very hard, but I'm sticking to my budget.

 

8 I love that I'm having my protien smoothy for dinner, even though I want something else.  Something decadent.  This will get really hard when the PMS kicks in...

9 I love that I'm in a good mood even though I know I'm getting sick

10 I love that if I'm coming down with my traditional Thanksgiving cold like I feel like I do, I'll have a sexy voice for a few days :-)

1 I love that I want to be asleep but fighting it until its late enough in the evening to go to bed
2 I love that I was invited to Mexican food and ate very little
3 I love that I made time for friends this evening
4 I love that I worked an eight hour day today. Not more than eight, just eight
5 I love that I figured out the question with the new email program today
6 I love that I branched out and tried a new food today

8 I love that I put color on my nails again. Its been weeks of clear

Sunday, November 20, 2011

Day 22

Day 22!  What a journey. Closing in on the finish. There are so many posts, does any really see them now?

1 I love my Sunday routine. Its all about relaxation and rejuvenation.  I work hard all week. Sunday is my day tp be selfish if I choose and just be by myself.

2 I love my fingernails.  They look like I get manicures but I don't.  Its been months since I started polishing them and keeping them up, and I love the results.

3 I love the "bracelet" I wear every day. Its actually a hairband, which ends up in my hair every day at some point. But I enjoy its double dutyness.

4 I love my hair. Its all one length and so easy. I haven't blow dried it in months. I am contemplating bangs for a change, we'll see

5 I love my sensibility

6 I love my lack of ego

7 I love that my cats like to snuggle on my feet

8 I love the new red color I bought to cover my grays. Its not the red I usually use!

9 I love that I've remembered to save my cat food bags for a friend who's making things with them.

10 I love that I'm obsessed with designer handbags and I carry a $5 zebra print bag I found at Pier One.

Saturday, November 19, 2011

Day 21

Day 21!  Two thirds of the way to the goal.
1 I love that I'm nice to people, even when I don't want to be.  A dear friend and coworker told me I had to use this today. Three hours into our eight hour day I told her I didn't want to be nice anymore ha ha!

2 I love that I had a glass of wine with the girls after work. Mmmm. And yes, I was treated. Which means...

3 I love that I stuck to my budget goal today!

4 I love that I've continued to develop my Christmas gift giving plan, making a list, trying to match projects to people...its coming along.

5 I love that I remembered a stash of fabric that I can make cool scarves with! Fabric stash pays off!!!

6 I love that I spent the day working on a silly project that, in the end, will make people smile

7 I love that I know there are 90 feet between bases on a major league field

8 I love that I relax at the end of the day.  I would to meditate, but I can't slow my mind down. So I watch mindless TV and allow myself to drift.

9 I love when I make myself smile.

10 I love my strength of character despite all the junk in my life at the moment

Day 20

Day 20!  I think I can, I think I can...

1 I love that I went to the prepared meals place that's all natural, hormone/GMO free, organic, as local as possible, and got four meals which I split in half for my lunches.

2 I love that I'm challenging myself to eat the groceries I bought instead of eating out!  I'm on a budget...if I'm invited out as a treat, I'll go, but I'll still eat healthy.

3 I love that I spent $65 on groceries all together, and stayed in my food budget.

4 I love that I set a goal today at work, and did what I set out to do!

5 I love that I helped my boss with a small project, saving her time in the process

6 I love that I did Christmas shopping today for three people, and developed a plan for nearly everyone else.

7 I love that I just remembered I have non dairy eggnog in the fridge!

8 I love that my cats love me unconditionally.  And they get jealous of each other and demand equal time. Its
good to be loved.

9 I love that I realized today I tend to not take my supplements on Thu and Fri. Why? I have no idea! But I
haven't refilled that spot in my pillbox in weeks. I need to figure this one out.

10 I love that I slept good last night. And am tired tonight!

Sweet dreams y'all

Day 19

Day 19

1 I love that I'm dog tired and staying awake to do this post

2 I love that I had experiments go awry in the sewing room this morning which resulted in an Ah Ha moment

3 I love that I woke at 4am, didn't fall back to sleep, and was able to work a long day without hitting the wall

4 I love that a coworker tried Kind Bars on my recommendation and loves them too! (And bought me some
on sale!!! )

5 I love that I've shifted, for the most part, to my heavy meal in the afternoon.

6 I love that I took a leap and tried new things at the sushi place tonight!

7 I love my friends who can tell by my tone that I need a night out, and make me go.

8 I love that today was full of challenges and I'm not struggling with this exercise tonight

9 I love that the weird dry spot on my forehead is not visible.  I feel it, bit ya can't see it

10 I love that Co workers feel comfortable to vent to me.

I'm probably beginning to repeat myself. I hope not too much.

Day 18

Day 18. Wow.
1 I love that I find humor where there is humor to be found. There's a time and a place for serious
2 I love my crooked fingers. Actually, they are mostly twisty. Every one has been broken at least once, in a variety of mishaps and crazy freak accidents. I'll never be a hand model LOL
3 I love that I'm studying hand bags. How they are constructed, hardware, comparing the differences between high end and low end. I want to make them and I want to do it well
4 I love that I figured out a technique for sewing around small curves
5 I love that I'm really good at hand stitching tiny hidden stitches, even though I have a kickass machine to do it for me. Its not the same and not as finished looking
6 I love that I'm a good cook. I don't do it often, but when I do it's tasty!
7 I love that a week before Thanksgiving, I'm trying to decide if I should take better-for-me options to dinner or just have one day of indulgence
8 I love that I craved taco bell tonight, and I didn't go
9 I love that I'm still doing this. It's become more about finishing and finding things I like about me, sorry, love, than the final prize. And I do consider the program a prize, as it's beyond my reach otherwise
10 I love my chin. It has a great shape, and it houses my dimple. I suppose its more of a cleft since its large. My chin is a little square but not in a bad way. Fits my face perfectly!

Day 16

Day 16. Over the hump. Some days are easy. Some are hard. Here goes
1 I love that I ate only had the lasagna I was served tonight. I wanted it all, and it was a huge piece.  I die not go face down in my plate :-)
2 I love my supportive friends! Lasagna friend, upon learning of my giving up dairy, gave me a container of coconut milk based eggnog.  Its amazing, 90 calories, creamy, and non dairy!
3 I love explaining to people why dairy is evil. Sometimes they get it, sometimes they don't care. Either way, it's a way to throw good intentions into the universe.
4 I love that I've taken time to learn this week. Its been a busy week.
5 I love that caffeine doesn't keep me awake! I don't have it often, but coffee sounded good tonight.
6 I love that twice in two days I've been told about thrift store finds. I never think to go there, and my friends are sporting cool looks!  In a previous life I would never have gone. Now I'm intrigued!
7 I love my glasses. I think I look good in them. They are chunky and colorful and I get many compliments.
8 I love that I don't see my age. Kids grow up, but I swear I look the same!
9 I love that I wear a black hair band on my wrist. Its jewelry, it deals with my hair when I can't. Its a fashion statement.
10 I love living where I do. I never thought a place could bring me joy.

Monday, November 14, 2011

Day 17

Day 17??? How can it be!  I may actually be on a roll now...
1 I love sewing.  I've made a shower curtain, a bib, and a purse in the last day and a half.  So rewarding, and so thankful I learned at an early age.
2 I love that I've stuck with this.  Even when it's really hard.  Like today.
3 I love that I'm starting to talk back to the bad self talk
4 I love that I got caught talking to myself earlier and I just carried on, not caring much what they thought
5 I love that I can find humor in situations that others would find distressing.  I choose laughter over crying or a nervous breakdown!
6 I love doing the speed limit in a school zone and making those behind me mad.  They have obviously never gotten one of those tickets before!  I like to think I'm teaching them patience...
7 I love that I spent 30 minutes building a holiday quiz using various tidbits and trivia from the world wide web.  Killed some time, and made by brain stretch (some of those questions are hard!)
8 I love that I'm not stressed yet about having NO Christmas shopping done yet.  Let's see how I feel in two weeks...
9 I love that I can go home in an hour!!!  And I have tomorrow off so I can relax and sleep in :-)
10 I love the scar above my right eye.  I tumbled down some three stairs when I was two, and got a pretty good gash.  Even now, 40-odd years later, it's noticable.  But it's not in the eyebrow, and it's not in a place that makes makeup difficult.  I think it gives me character!

DAY 15! Half Way...

Day 15. Half way to my goal. I never dreamed I'd make it this far...
1 I love that I've posted every day for 15 days!!!
2 I love that I took the time to dig in the remnant bins and found two awesome purse fabrics for less than $5
3 I love that I helped someone...while shopping at Joann's!
4 I love that I believe in the power of prayer, positive energy, whatever the label. Doing so in numbers makes a difference, I just know it!
5 I love my ankles. When they aren't puffy, they look great!
6 I love that I didn't take anyone's bait today. There was bait to be taken, believe me! But I chose not to go there.
7 I love that I gave into a chicken wing craving. I didn't go face down. I had enough to satisfy the craving I've been fighting for three weeks. I no longer crave them
8 I love that I type these out ahead so I can paste them into this blog. That way I can find them to send to my blog!
9 I love when my cats sits in front of me with droopy, falling asleep face, purring.  Its because they love me unconditionally.  Silly cats!
10 I love that someone told me today that since she's done a cleanse, she now thinks about where her food comes from and what's in it. It was nice talking to her about it, and truly understanding how she's changed how she approaches food. The exchange made me smile!

Friday, November 11, 2011

Day 14

1 I love that I'm learning optimism
2 I love that my brother and I can not chat for months and then pick up right where we left off
3 I love that I am someone others can come to for venting and advice
4 I love that I chose beef and broccoli over fried rice tonight. I'm not sure its a lot better, but it feels like a smarter choice
5 I love that I found Naked juices on sale 2/$5! I stocked up for the week. The Green Machine makes an awesome, easy dinner on the go.
6 I love that after an emotionally exhausting day, I went grocery shopping
7 I also love that I made good choices at the store, not giving into temptation and staying out of the aisles. Except the one where I found my La Croix grapefruit seltzer water and Blue Sky soda
8 yes, two flavors of Blue Sky at the grocery. Neither was rootbeer. So I love that I took a chance and tried the Ginger Ale.
9 I love that I purposefully went back to sleep after waking twice during the night, sleeping in without guilt.
10 I love that I am grateful for my brother. He is amazing.

Day 12

1 I am an expert procrastinator.  I love that I’m working on not being so good at that.
2 I love that it takes me 30 minutes to get ready in the morning.  I really no longer care if I have wet hair and no makeup!
3 I love to try new foods.  I didn’t used to.  In the last 10 years I’ve become quite adventurous!
4 I love that I, a single woman, bought a house and paid it off in less than 10 years.  And my cats think I did that for them
5 I love that I can take “news breaks” and not feel like I’m missing anything in the world
6 I love that I’m a really good writer and editor.  People have me do that for them all the time!
7 I love that I feel proud when I design something new
8 I love that when things get crazy, I can stop, breath, and regroup.  This is something I’ve learned recently.  And it helps!
9 I love that I recognized early on I was not one to have children.  Some people struggle with that, but not me.  I don’t believe in bringing a child into the world unless I can handle it, and I’ve never felt I could.  Instead, I love my cats.  They are an extension of me, with amazing personalities, and I enjoy my time with them.  They are like the children I’ll never have, and they will never grow up!  My male is forever like an 8 year old, and my female is forever like a 13 year old.  Not my favorite age, but hey, she could be a real live girl!
10 I love that I’ve learned to cry without guilt

Monday, November 7, 2011

3 I love that I've learned to slow down, stop, and smell the flowers

6 I love that I can see the contributing factors to my parents diminishing health, and that I choose not to go down that path
7 I love that on an annual basis, I'm less sick than I used to be

10 I love that I'm learning to listen to my body, and how it reacts to food, beverages, and environment
Is that really 100???

Day 9, I think

I just had to go check. Yes. This is day 9. I must share my process.  I don't have internet.  I do have a smart phone. So I have to post from the phone. I first type It out in an email.  Then I copy it. Then I send the email to post to my blog. The I go to Tera's blog and wait about 15 minutes for the page to fully load. Then I paste, edit, submit. It uses about 70% of my battery and the whole thing takes about 30 minutes. That said....
1 I love that I'm stubborn enough to do this each day
2 I love that my super severe allergies don't hold me back
3 I love that this payday I vowed to make positive grocery choices rather than buy fast, easy, and cheap (its expensive to eat healthy)
4 I love love love that I did not give in to my craving for biscuits and gravy today
5 I love that I outgrew my need for expensive, cool shoes, and now live in Crocs.  Flip flops, Mary Jane's, Ballet Shoes, you name it. They are comfy!
6 I love that I am learning to live simply.
7 I love my red hair
8 I love that I take time for myself to rest and rejuvenate once a week
9 I love that I reuse glass jars for storage and water bottles
10 I love that I've now come up with 90 unique things I love about me.  Ok, that one was weak, but I think it should count because this is hard work!

Day 8, 10 Things I Love About Myself

So far I've posted 70 things I love about myself on the Tera Warner Blog.  I don't think I've repeated.  It's getting harder.  I will say that reading other people's posts has inspired me to think outside my negative little box and recognize things in myself that others see in themselves.  I think that's good?  So here goes, 71-80...
1 I love that I've finally found the most wonderful night time moisturizer....raw coconut oil! 
2 I love that I'm getting better at projecting a happy persona, especially on days that I'm not so happy. Why?
3 I love that I protect people from my inner strife.  I have a lotta stuff going on, and really, when someone says "How are you?" they rarely want to know.
4 I love that I hang with my friends, even when I don't have time or feel like being social.  It's good for me, and I recognize that.  Once I get there, I always feel better
5 I love that I make a concious effort to buy local, be it food or goods
6 I love that I spent two months boycotting made in China items.  I wish I had the funds to do it full time
7 I love that I woke this morning with my two cats snuggled up against me sound asleep.  I hated to wake them up!
8 I love that I've moved to an almost black wardrobe.  Not because I'm sad or depressed, but because it's easy!  I can accesorize with color, and add a blouse or jacket with color, but the t's, shells, and pants are all black and I no longer agonize over what to wear in the morning.  (I am contemplating bringing gray and brown into the mix...)
9 I love that I've remembered to take my supplements 5 days this week!  I only missed Thursday.  That's huge!!!!
10 I love that I've made a difference at work this week, doing in-depth profit/loss analysis.  We've learned so much!
WOW!!! That's 80!!!!!  I love that too.  Until tomorrow...

Day 7 Redux

I was speaking to a gal at work about this process last night. We laughed at how hard it's getting! Day 7. Deep breath...
1 I love that I can make people laugh
2 I love that I'm short. If I had to choose between short and tall, short is the way to go.
4 I love that I have color memory. I can remember colors and match things without having to carry the item with me.
5 I love that I can design something in my head and create it, usually on the first try.
6 I love how I look in glasses. I use them as a cool accessory. And to see.
7 I love that I've devoted the last four months to doing and maintaining my own nails. I don't do hair or makeup, so they make me feel pretty. And presentable.
8 I also love my toenails. They are little, on my little toes, attached to my little feet. I think they are cute. When people say they hate their toes, I show mine off
9 I love that I balance my love of dark twisty TV shows with comedies that make me laugh out loud
10 I love that I can shop the daylights out of a sale
3 I love that I am the person who proofreads three times before sending...and found that I missed #3!!!!
There. That's 10. Omg! Is that 100????

Day 7

I was speaking to a gal at work about this process last night. We laughed at how hard it's getting!  Day 7. Deep breath...

Day 6

Today I reach, this is getting hard. The good news is
1 I love that I haven't thrown in the towel, giving up, like I tend to do with "diets"
2 I love that I got a friend hooked on KIND Bars because She saw how much I enjoy both their taste and the concept. I feel like I did a good thing!
3 I love that I am quirky. Its part of my character
4 I love that my brain is full of useless information and that I use that power for good. Usually at dinner parties.
5 I love that I make a conscious effort to do something good or helpful for someone once a day
6 I love the dimple in my chin. My pinky fits in it perfectly, and I'm the only one in my family who has it
7 I love that even though the numbers are MUCH bigger, there is still 10" between my chest and waist.  Yes, I'm heavy, but I still have a waist :-)
8 I love that I'm learning to accept compliments. Its rarely easy, I always want to point out how its wrong, but I'm getting good at keeping my mouth shut, saying thank you, and letting it sink in
9 I love that, with all I've experienced, I still believe in happily ever after
10 I love my small feet

Day 5

Day 5 and10 more thing I love about me....actually, 41-50 things I love about me.
1 I love my sometimes dark, mostly wickedly funny sense of humor
2 I love that I see everyone as equals ...until proven wrong. Which is rare
3 I love the person I've grown into, rather than the person I used to be, who was a product of her environment. 
4 I love that I'm tolerant and un-prejudiced. Is that a word? BTW, I don't know how that happened based on my early environment
5 I love that my hair grows really fast
6 I love that my bangs are all grown out and the same length as the rest of my hair, and it only took 30 or so years
7 I love that I had the tenacity tonight to scroll through 900 or so responses to find my Day 4 and copy it so I could post it on my blog. On my Droid.  Which took exactly 22 minutes and 65% of the battery.  Ok, obsessed is the word you are looking for.
8 I love that I had a good day, which in turn makes tonight's task easy for me!  I never thought this would be easy!! And I'm sure it wont always be
9 I love that I can share my current obsessions, GMOs and HFCS, with my friends and they love me enough to remain my friends and not run screaming in the opposite direction
10 I love that its day 5 and I'm still totally motivated to continue this challenge!  25 days and 250 more things I love about me to go!!
Holy cow. I may need help with that!

DAY FREAKING 4

Today has been wretched. A day where I barely go out of bed. Everything weighs heavy today and I'm feeling very doom and gloom. It takes so little to create a tale sp So number 1 today is
1 I'm doing this even though my heart isn't in it. And I'm continuing this list while fighting tears. Why? I need something to cling to today, and…
2 I admire my perseverance!
3 I thrive on a challenge. Today I remind myself of that.
4 I deal with pressure job pressure well. Personally? I could do that better
5 I know how to change a tire
6 I know enough about what's under the hood of my car make car salesmen step back and treat me with respect
7 I have an amazing network of friends. I rarely trouble them with my issues. We all have enough already.
8 I love to learn new things
9 I am a good storyteller
10 After years of trial and error, I can finally grow my fingernails (with the right products) and I like them!
