Thanks for the reminder :)
I love those strong women outfits!
Today I really don’t feel it, but it gives me hope for tomorrow.
Thanks :D
Yes Yes i’m going to be stronger! ‘Cause only we have the power, the strength to choose for ourselves. Thanks for the reminder. Just taking the leap is scary but i know i won’t regret one bit later on.
Right now I have no strength and no will…so I’ll just crawl back under my rock…
Cool pictures though ;)
I feel really strong, battling everything I’m battling right now :]
I told you I had to cut my hair short because of the disease, and I did, and it looks absolutely amazing ___ I’ll probably dye it hot pink or blue soon, to give it some spunk :]
lune, i’m so glad that your hair looks good :) short hair feels so liberating, doesn’t it?
this is perfect after yesterday’s self-rewards. i got a little carried away, ha. but i was celebrating my success, and celebrating securing a house to share with my friends next school year :) i can’t wait!
back on the wagon x10 today!
One of my goals is to make more clothing myself, and those women’s knickers are very inspiring :)
Good morning, everybody! I’m heading off to the farmers market and I encourage you to do the same. For those of you in New York, there’s a list of year-round farmers market at localizing.wordpress.com/2009/...
Drop me a line and let me know where you went and what you found there – bonus points for recipes and produce pics.
If you live outside New York, and there’s a farmers market near you, let me know about that too! I’m working on a global list of year-round farmers markets so that I can help as many people as possible find delicious fruits and vegetables near their homes. If you’d like to help, leave a comment at localizing.wordpress.com/2009/...
Thanks!
so that bday celebration i planned to award myself with.
you know…the one where i was going to build a cake for my friends bday and probably eat it too.
well i most deff. ate it:|. i ate prob. the equivalent of 3 slices:|.talk about losing control. i just kept picking at that thing like crazy.
i will not hold it against myself though! i only seem to cheat on occasion anyways.
plus, who would be crazy enough to pass up Banana,Almond, Dark Choco. Chip. cake?
especially if you were the one that took all that time and effort to make/decorate it?!
had to.
it was a must.:P
back on the bandwagon today.
Day 7, here I am! It’s morning, I had a great night’s sleep, I woke up at 9am and immediately did all my Anthropology reading for Monday. I think my plan will be to do my English reading for Monday, and then start working on the Anth paper. I’m being productive today, damnit! I can get breakfast starting at 11am at our bagel place, so I’ll be getting dressed soon, and packing a backpack with everything I need through tap rehearsal. That will give me four hours for breakfast + work, then rehearsal (and maybe more working out post rehearsal if I’m up for it) and then more work until I go to this birthday party tonight. Woo!
Gosh it hasn’t been the best week 1 of a challenge so far… but I guess that means it can only get better! I had to go out of town for a funeral the last two days, so that disrupted just about everything (though I kept up the gratitude diary – and it is amazing how much we have, when we pause to actually think about it!), then yesterday I almost couldn’t get home because of the snow… but I am home, and yesterday was so full of amazing surprises! My faith in human goodness is restored (even after braving hellish airport security).
But yeah, I’m taking today as a “day off” – not off the challenge, but off everything else! I’m knackered, so sitting in bed watching iPlayer and writing (with chocolate, naturally – I think I get more Cancerian every day!), and then I’ll have rugby to watch later on… I can think of worse ways to spend the time!
And all that will help strengthen the indomitable will – it’s feeling a bit tired today!
Today is starting off great- I woke up at 8.30 am naturally with no alarm so now I have extra time in the day to be super productive. Feels good! :)
I love those frilly knickers!
those pictures made my day
thank you
Wow, where are these awesome pictures from?
Also, I made bread tonight for the first time, not from a mix but all by myself! ^^ No additives or sugar, just organic rye flour, yeast, salt and water. It turned out sooo tasty!!! X3
Thanks for the great reminder! You really have great timing, adressing us, your readers! ;)
Wow, i’m amazed by the girl in the middle!
My 7th day has gone quite well so far. I’ve finished most of the cleaning and tidying that I started yesterday, and now my room feels even bigger, neater and much more organised. I also managed to get a splinter out of my finger, so I feel much better now.
I might do some hula hooping, and also some research for my Uni project.
I feel a little hungover from rewarding myself, but I’m also back on the bandwagon and feel very strongly about my goals!
Haha love the pictures!
I actually started lifting some weights for the iTC, though I don’t know if I will ever be quite that muscly! The woman in the middle is pretty damn impressive.
I’m only fifteen but I love your website. I come here every single day to see what’s new. I really admire the positive way that you see life. It’s absolutely inspiring.
Big kisses from Portugal!
Gorgeous quotes! Love em’. Awesome pics too!
Yes, Gala, do tell! Where are the pictures from? Who took them?
wow, those photos are bizarre/wonderful!
and yes, we are all strong! and fabulous!
I think I’ve been doing well, besides (ridiculously awesome gourmet) pizza rewards on the 6th and caramel slice last night. And man, my body was not happy about it! Will def keep to more fresh and healthy stuff. But have been doing 30 day shred and hooping, and finally got hours and hours of work done on my business! Yusss. Not to mention it’s sunday morning and i’ve not made it through a long weekend without resorting to drinking for socialising purposes. :)
Also had my first french lesson in the last few days. It feels so good to be doing things I’ve been talking about doing for an age!
Had another good day today, though I started my period & am feeling a little under the weather. I went for a long walk even though it was hailing, but then the ice turned into snow & the music I was listening to was perfect for it, really soft & hopeful — it was a nice moment, & I think I needed one of those. ;)
& these photographs! Love their frilly costumes & intricate hairdos.
I bought DDR for my xbox 360, and I’ve been using that as my cardio! It’s so much fun :)
besides that.. nothing new to report.
xoxo
Today went better foodwise for sure! But no exercise at all, boo. I hope to clean my room and be rejuvenated for tomorrow!
What fantastic pictures! I heart them to little pieces. :)
