I missed not writing my Thankful Thursday post last week. I was very down emotionally. I noticed yesterday that I only posted one time last week. Yikes! Well, there’s no better way to segway into my weekly gratitude post!

Yesterday I found a program called the Inner Mean Girl 40 Day Cleanse! This is a great program that will help me (and you if you join, it’s not too late! Click on the link! & it’s free!)

This program is 40 days because that’s how long it takes you to form a new habit. What’s the new habit? Well generally, self-love! More specifically, there are 6 toxic habits (one a week) that will be replaced by self-loving habits!

Don’t know what your Inner Mean Girl is? Sure you do. She’s that negative voice telling you lies like you aren’t good enough, you aren’t young enough or you aren’t skinny enough. She’s mean and she’s a liar! Let’s send her packing! I’m excited to delve into the first week’s topic which is getting rid of the toxic habit of gossip! (Stay tuned for an post about this in the next couple of days!)

I am so grateful that I found this program. My Inner Mean Girl (I’ve also called her my IBSC, or Itty Bitty Shitty Committee) gets really loud and convincing. And she’s been screaming a ton of lies at me lately, so I’m so thankful to have tweavesdropped and found out about this program! (Seriously, you should check it out! Click here!)

So here are some awesome numbers that I’m thankful for this week!

45 – Days until the Wine Country Half Marathon, where hopefully I will be running with bright purple hair!

40 – Days of the Inner Mean Girl Cleanse!

31 – Days until Relay for Life

30 – Days until I donate a foot of my hair to Locks of Love

29 – Pounds I’ve lost since November 2, 2009.

17 – Days until Treading for a cure!

8 – Months until I’m officially done with school!

6 – Toxic habits that I’m going to replace with self-loving habits!

3 – Days before I run 13.1 miles for the first time ever.

I have so much to be grateful for in my life!

• I am thankful that Knight made it home safely from his 3 day bicycle camping trip! He and his buddy rode about 130 miles in 3 days. He’s tired and sore, but we are headed to the hot tub soon!
  
• I am thankful that I have an amazing internship at the Public Defender’s office!
  
• I’m thankful that I got tworkout with Shrinking Jeans and Tara Costa (from Biggest Loser season 7) this past Tuesday! I also won a $20 gift card from Subway! Woohoo! I’m sad this will be my last time tworking out with my Shrinking Jeans hookers, but they featured my picture in their post tworkout wrap up! Thanks ladies!
  
• I am thankful that my hard work on my weight loss journey has gotten me to my goal weight range! I can honestly say that I’m proud of myself!
  
• I am grateful that I’ve received $165 in donations in my fundraising efforts in supporting Relay for Life! I’ve also sold about 18 Bondi Bands!
