Hello Friends!
How is your week going? It is almost Friday! Woot! Any plans?
I am planning on a run date with the BF and I am SO EXCITED because he’s been gone most of October and November. Then we are heading to small town, Iowa for a childhood friend’s wedding. So many weddings this year!

Exclamation points!!
I am on such a workout high (possibly similar to a runner’s high) from Body Pump and a mile walk run afterward. Gotta love the workouts that leave you feeling rejuvinated instead of dead. To be quite honest I felt dead the first time I did Body Pump but now I am getting stronger so I don’t feel like keeling over half-way through the workout. (Check out my thankful day #6)
#30daysofthanks
I have decided to take on a personal challenge of taking time each day to recognize one thing I am thankful for. I am posting on Facebook and Twitter (you might as well follow if you aren’t already 😉 ) and I am using the hashtag #30daysofthanks.
Here is my list so far:
Day 1: I am thankful for my Chili’s friends!
I worked at Chili’s for 3 years with these pretty ladies. Four of us haven’t even worked there for a couple of years but we still keep in touch! 🙂
Day 2: I am thankful for chocolate.

Day 3: I am thankful for parking in a garage. All my life until this last year I have had to get up early and scrap the windows. How awesome is it to not have to freeze your tush off early in the morning??
Day 4: I am so thankful I get to sleep in on Friday mornings! I work at my wing-n-beer joint Fridays at 11 and it’s glorious to be able to sleep in and even work on my Friday Five Foodie Finds posts before work.
Sleep=good.
Day 5: I am thankful for jeans that fit perfectly.

After 20 something years of life I FINALLY found jeans I love. Silver jeans to be exact. I’m a jeans and t-shirt gal so jeans are tres important in my life. 🙂
Day 6: I am thankful for workouts SO GOOD I’m sore for days! (This was me being positive about being sore 5 days after my first Body Pump class).
Day 7: I’m so thankful for the ability to run! I take this for granted so often. I hurt my back and couldn’t run for a few months this year and it was TERRIBLE. I’m getting back into it a bit and keep track of it on Daily Mile. It’s a great site and the people there keep me motivated…mostly because they kick my butt at running.
Day 8: I’m thankful for my education. Sometimes class is SO IRRITATING, however, I must remind myself that some people do not get the opportunity to pursue higher learning. I am very blessed to be able to go to the local community college and (yay) transfer to a university to study Nutrition, Exercise and Health Sciences. 🙂 🙂
Day 9: I’m thankful I get to live with my Daddio free of charge! (Besides the occasional baked goods/ dinners)
P.S. He is a serious fan of my blog and I think I realized this when he handed out goodies for Halloween (leftovers from my party) and printed out my blog site and a picture from my blog and put it by the goodies. (Free advertising?) LOVE MY DADDIO!

Day 10: You might already know this, since I brag on him a lot..but I am thankful for a super supportive BF. He is my #1 fan and he is always encouraging me and lifting me up…even when I am being very difficult and hard to be around. He also motivates me to push myself..not only by his words, but by his actions. He is a very hard worker and has to travel a lot but he does it with a smile.
{And he’s funny and cute and charming and sincere and a gentleman and strong and manly and loving and respectful and understanding and smart and gives good hugs and…}
Woot for the BF!
