High five for Friday!

Welcome to high five for Friday!
1- New Year's Eve was fun celebrating with my hubby!
2- New Year's Day was cold volunteering at a race.
3- Wednesday was my last day at the old job and that was awesome!
4- I made scones Thursday with previously frozen buttermilk. Pinterest steered me wrong because the thawed buttermilk was no good. I tossed the scones. They did look good but that's not enough.
5- Today my teeth will be fixed and I'll be able to eat normal foods again! I plan on complaining to the dentist about how painful eating was.
6- I'm weighing in tomorrow to see if all this dental work translated into a weight loss. I'll be shocked if I lost a pound because all I ate was carbs. Carbs are so soft and easier to eat than good healthy veggies.

Please cheer with me! It's the weekend! Woohoo! Also, please stay tuned for silly Saturday.

Top 10 for Wednesday

Here’s my top ten ideas for Wednesday.

10: Start the day with a special drink from your favorite place.

4: Consider happy hour ideas.

3: Rejoice over any successes that come your way.

2: Celebrate when the work day is over.

1: Relax at night doing your favorite activity.

Celebrate

Whenever you have accomplished a goal, remember to celebrate the success. I forget this sage advice often because I’m always pushing for the next goal. Perhaps, I’ll find more satisfaction when I’ve taken time to congratulate myself.

Fireworks

I love fireworks! What a great way to celebrate independence!

How do you like to celebrate?

Happy Independence Holiday Weekend!

I am celebrating the end of unemployment and the beginning of a new career. Fireworks are my favorite and I hope to watch some all weekend long.

What are your favorite Fourth of July traditions? Are you celebrating independence from something? Please share! I enjoy reading about others stories.

Wonderful Wednesday

Today’s rating is Positive.

Not only is the week half over, nachos for lunch tomorrow, and friends coming over on Friday but my counselor said that I am making healthy choices. I am a success and it feels good. I know that I will find a good job and be successful there too. I have successfully lost weight and maintained it with the help of www.myfitnesspal.com. Its important to stop and celebrate the successes in life and that’s what I’m doing today.
