Today I did not succeed at several things.
I did not succeed at having an awesome run. I ran. I did just under 3 miles. I was not feeling it, and it was not awesome. One of those days where I just have to be proud that I did it if nothing else.
I did not succeed at remembering my phys therapy appt and ended up having to change time slots. I did still go and it ended up lasting almost 2 hours! Guess I’m so awesome they just wanted to keep me around. Not.
I did not succeed at getting my laundry done. It’s a work in process. I wish I could afford hired help. If there’s one thing I hate, it’s cleaning of any kind. And the rowing machine.
I did not succeed at meal planning. I did however mix some a spoonfull of pumpkin, a little goat cheddar and some hot sauce into a TJ’s reduced guilt frozen mac and cheese and it was surprisingly delicious and gave me the idea for a recipe that I plan to create this week!
I did not succeed at time management. Surprise.
Or staying away from the cupcakes…
But I did succeed at one pretty important thing. One thing that makes all the work I’ve been doing official, and a little more real.
I don’t know why it took me so long to register. Maybe I was afraid to shell out the $$ before I was 100% sure I could do it. Maybe I’m just a procrastinator. Either way, I am sure. And I am official. It feels pretty exciting, and like maybe all those non successes aren’t so bad 🙂

I’m proud of you and even more so proud of you for letting go. You’re perfect the way you are and its ok to not succeed at everything in the first try. I mean come on you’ll conquer whatever task you set out to achieve but it doesn’t have to be all today! <3 you inspire me
BTW peeps may not know what you registered for. I didn't see where you said what but I know that was due to the excitement. Thought you might want to know. Love Jew!

I guess I should open my eyes, huh? Ha….I was looking at your blog from my phone. That’s probably why I didn’t see it. I just kept seeing “register”
