What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud?
jiggle, just food for thought...please do not keep that mindset to puke to get to results!!!!! I can be a real athletic animal as well (half marathons, 5 hour walks, 6 hour bike rides, X country skiing for 8-10 miles, etc) - and I learned that my body actually responds better to consistent regular exercise with a few spikes here and there of that type of thing.
For you I am worried twofold:
1. you will get injured
2. you will get burned out fast
Honorable mention: i hope that in some deep down place you are NOT harboring some crazy belief that that type of workout is making up for food you eat? i am a recovering disordered eater (binge/purge), and my exercsie addiction was kind of hard to reckon with.
Working out like that did not do very much for my body! I mean okay, my current bmi is ~30 and I look like I may be more at ~28 based on tone & measurements, but when i think of how much better off i would have been if I had dealt with my food addiction long before i did...wasn't worth it.
Whaddya think about what I say?

I'm proud that I went to my mom and dad's and cooked supper and washed dishes for them. My dad kept saying thank you.
I'm proud that I stood up to my niece and told her how her situation really is and how she affected it with the decisions that she made. She just doesn't see it from and adult point of view but then again she is only 18 so she is always going to be right..of course.
I think that's it for today.

Think that would work with siblings too? I have a 45 year old sister that I swear needs to be ***** slapped!
Promised mom to behave today..start no trouble..so that is what I'm some what proud of today.lol Like my husband said...ya don't have to love your siblings, just your parents. LOL, I looked at him and said..."you never talk to your siblings". He said.."MY point exactly!"
Yea...I'm in a GREAT mood today!! lol sorry.
Hol & Beth...when we talk to younguns (and old dum@sses who technically still are younguns in the brain), all we can do is state the position we hold, as lovingly as we can.
Then also state some consequences, for example when my younger DD quit hi school, (okay, AFTER my epileptic/catatonic fit)" years from now when you cannot find a job without your GED, just call me and i will drop off some white bread and hamburger but past that, oh well, have fun sleeping on your friends' floors, cuz you ain't living with me.
One thing i used to say to my kids is to think about most decisions in terms of time: how will this affect me in 6 months? 1 year? 5 years? And to just pay some mind to the long term.
My DD does indeed now have to face some consquence to that decision. As much as she has to face up, so do I in not enabling her in any way. It is not my fault and I must now accept that this is her path to learn her lessons the hard way!

OK, cue the 'Twilight Zone' music because the OH gremlins are at it again.
I was just responding to a woman from Tennessee who hasn't been on the board in a long long time and has "What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud" posted all over her house. I thought that was so cool. But her post and mine were both just wiped totally out. Damn gremlins!
