Let's all do something nice for ourselves!

[tlgoblue]

If you could take 30 minutes to do whatever you wanted, as a treat to you, what would it be? What stops us from doing it? I did it today! I worked out! It will be an EXTRA workout, since working out is part of who I've decided to be. I felt so good about it, that I may just do something else for me...Take a nice hot bath! I know it's little things, but it is the one thing, that when I don't do it, (work out) I feel cheated. I also take it out on the rest of my family. (Like they are the reason I didn't get time to do it. ) So, it's kind of like a 401K. Pay yourself first. If it's a manicure that does it for you, pay yourself first. A cup of coffee and a trashy romance novel, a nap, a haircut, whatever. A half hour a day, to feel human, because you are wonderful, because you are loved. Who wouldn't want you to do something nice for you, after you do so much for others? (No! This board doesn't count. That falls under the helping others column.) What are you waiting for? Have a great day!

Keep the Faith!

I know EXACTLY what I am doing with my 30 minutes today..... I am going to call and make my ressies for our WDW trip!!!!! That's a great way to treat myself.

I will spread it out, first ressies for WDW, the rest will follow!

Tracy, I like this idea alot!!!

I already did my good thing for myself today. I was staring at the wallpaper picture on my monitor this morning (picture of Coronado Springs) so I decided to pack my lunch and eat it there!!!! I drove to the resort and left my lunch in the car. Then I walked the path that goes from Casitas to Ranchos to Cabanas, turned around at Cabanas and walked it back. So I did a small workout, enjoyed the beauty and splendor of the resort, got some landscaping ideas and then had lunch at an umbrella covered table by the pool!



Attitude is everything! We have to be good to ourselves in order to keep our attitude on the bright side, so I will try to give myself some kind of special (non food) treat every day! Or I'll just spend some time appreciating who I am.

WOOO! HOOO!
Good for you guys! (TigH, Can I get a Homer here? MMMMMM! Disney World!) What a great way to treat yourselves! I didn't take my bath, but I did go to the gym and THEN sat in the sauna for 15 mins.! Oh boy do I feel good! DH hurt his Back a few days ago, so I've temporarily lost his support. Good thing I have you guys! Onward and Downward!

Keep the Faith!

How neat to be able to have lunch at CSR

Just for me, I made reservations for a towncar to pick me up at MCO in May. A towncar all for myself I'm worth it!

TigH, I'm jealous!! I would go out and walk today but the snow has put a damper on that . I think I need to replace the belt on my treadmill so it won't matter what the weather throws at me!!

My treat yesterday was an uninterrupted (very important to note) hot bubble bath! Today I'm thinking of trying a different exercise tape.

Today, I'm sitting down for 20 mins. and having a cup of tea! Not huge, but I'm thinking I need to be quiet for a few minutes after being in DD's classroom and then going to the gym. It will be heaven!

Keep the Faith!

Mine was pretty simple! It has been so dry here and I noticed my hands were looking like they were 80 years old (no kidding ) So, I gave myself a hand, moisturizing treatment. They look so much better today!

My nice thing yesterday was spending 30 minutes on the sofa, sipping a sugar free/fat free hot cocoa while reading two decorator magazines (one English and one American!)

I think today I might splurge and find a bright colored nail polish to celebrate spring!

Great idea - I wish I could hop over to WDW for a walk! how Awesome!

let me think - something to do today - I have to run into Columbus and make an exchange at Best Buy and I"m really dreading that. My camera zoom broke and it's still under extended warrantee, but I predict conflict as I've always had bad sales people there.

sooooo - maybe I'll stop in the mall and just walk around and window shop ALONE

myself and the mall ....................... sounds good to me!

I made reservations to stay at the Luxor for 2 nights this month. We have never stayed there, DHs best friend and his DW will be coming out for a week, we will meet up with them and have a couple of days away from our house projects, our dogs with gas, and life in general.

Katholyn, I had a town car just for me for discon, in August, we are doing a stretch limo, the nephews are going to get a real kick out of it.

My 20 pound reward was Crest White Strips. I put them on for 30 minutes in the morning and read the WISH board. At night, I put on another set and relax. I want a bright smile when I reach my goal.

Today, I'm doing something nice for my Daughter, which will make me happy. She is so wonderful! She made her daddy's lunch today, and even tucked a little note inside the bag. Sometimes she can be a real pill, but for the most part, she is a very giving child, and puts others before her. (Just watch out if she feels entitled to something! H*** hath no fury...) So, I'm going to make sure she gets to the Y for "Swim and Slide" and I'm making her favorite dinner. It feels so food doing something for someone special. Often better than doing it for yourself. It does take on a selfish feel. Have a GREAT day everyone!

Keep the Faith!
