Thankful for Hump Day, Rain, and Coconut

Attitude of the Day: Positive! and a little nervous about the thunderstorms and bad weather, and anxious yet excited about running.

Food Craving of the Day: Coconut Cream - I just can't get enough of it. Help! All I want are coconuts.. at every meal. I'm a little coo-coo for coconuts. Okay, I'll stop now.

Smoothie of the Day: Sweet potato, shredded coconut, chilled chai tea, stevia, protein, chia seeds, and cinnamon. YUMM

Workout of the Day: Running/Cross Training. Plan is to run an easy 3 miles on the dreadmill, then ride the stationary bike for 30-40. Well, at least that is the plan, we'll see what my body and my Higher Power have in store for me! Hoo haahhh 

Positive Thought of the Day: " Courage does not mean you do not have fear. Rather you have the knowledge that something else is greater in life than fear."

 Well, it is black as night outside at 10AM and there is a severe weather alert right now. Tornados, thunder storms, flooding, oh my! Yes, it is pretty bonkers in Houston right about now, weather wise. On the agenda today? Work, work out, survive the storm, eat, service tonight... rest. Good thing my bf and I have plans tomorrow instead of tonight!

Daily Gratitude List:

I am thankful for -

• My sweet, considerate and easy-going boyfriend. Yeah, I guess I'll say that. I suppose he deserves a shout-out, heehee.
• Rain - despite the scary looking storm outside I know the city and plant life need it. Hopefull the people, animals and homes will survive!
• My job - I really do love my job. After leaving the industry to "take a huge risk" for a few years, I now truly appreciate stability and security. Plus, I work with great people and it makes life even sweeter.
• Amazon - yes, I am thankful for Amazon for letting me unleash my hoarding-like ways in the forms of ordering bulk amounts of coconut products, supplements, and other nutritional hoopla.
• Awesome Bloggers- I know I don't know you yet, but I've been a fan of some awesome blogs and those gals (and some guys) really are awesome!

Thanks for today, for everything about today, all the rain, the worry, the grief, the food cravings due to weather??? the sore muscles, the crazy traffic, the awesome food that I brought for lunch... thanks for it all. AMEN!
