Ok, time to catch up.

Alright, so I shall address yesterday's challenge first, since I didn't delve into it last night. Yesterday's challenge was to "Turn a negative into a positive." I think I struggled with this so much, because there was so much negative in my life until recently that I didn't know what to pick. However, seeing as how I'm compounding these challenges the best I can, I'm sure I can find the positive in just about everything negative that I'm willing to share with cyberspace. I decided that my negative that I was turning into a positive was the amount of debt that we still have. Its looking at us and ready to eat us alive if we let it go again. It is terrifying, to say the least.

But turning that around, I'm going to 'take the easy way out' of this one, and say that our positive is what we have learned about budgeting and spending and not just spending because the money looks like it is there. If you have 600 in your checking account, and you cut a rent check for 600, you no longer have ANYTHING in your checking account. Doesn't matter if the check cleared yet or not, you can't spend it. NO. Hard a$$ lesson to learn there, but we're both doing so much better with it so I know we've learned something.

So there, that's yesterday's negative into a positive.

To compound, I had to find something today that was a negative and turn that into a positive. My negative? I'm still fat. Making it positive? I'm aware of it, and I'm working to make a change, and THAT is a step ahead of a lot of people in my same position. I'm feeling good.

So now... Today's challenge was 'stupid simple' (to use a term I've coined at work....) "Share a healthy breakfast idea"

NOW we're talking. Take a few egg whites, scramble them up with a handful of precooked spinach (That you've done yourself with EVOO and garlic) and a little mozzarella (low moisture, part skim.) and pour it into the pan. Cook until firm and VOILA! Healthy breakfast. At least, thats healthier than my husband's #1 choice for breakfast: Sausage Gravy over Biscuits. That's another story for another day.

So lets recap:

1) Instead of 10 reps, I bench pressed my cat 100 times. Believe me, that was harder than you think) - DONE

2) Skipping the bucket list - OK

3) Negative into a positive - DONE x2

4) Share a healthy breakfast idea - DONE!

Tomorrow will be my 5th day in a row... I'm calling this a winning streak... and hey look, thats positive too!
