Stop looking at the bad and look at the good....

I'm sitting here, wishing I wasn't at work and out of the blue, my mind thinks "stop looking at the bad and look at the good". Thanks brain, I really needed to be reminded of this today.

So, time to look at the good instead of the bad (which sadly, looking at the bad is always too easy to do)

•  last March, I was 65 (or more) pounds, I was obese for my height
• 8 days ago, I run a 5 mile race FASTER than I had wanted to, I did it in 53:17. Not only did I do it, I RAN the whole thing! 
• I started running last July, I graduated C25K even when there were weeks that I didn't think I could do it
• I fit into a size 4 dress this weekend-not only did I fit into it, I looked good!
• I bought 2 new running sweatshirts/jackets that are size small
• I can go into a fitting room with 15 items and they all fit-I could have bought them all but some were too big and others I didn't need so I got the more important things (ie: capris to run in :) )
• if I don't work out, my body craves it. I literally have to force rest days on myself-a year ago, or even 8.5 months ago when I joined MFP, I never would have thought that would happen

Obviously, that's just a small list. I could go on and on with more but since I am typically at work, I won't haha

So, take a minute and think-what is the good you can be looking at? Something you didn't think you could do but you have done? It can be something small or something huge, they're all important.

Oh, and I'll be posting an updated race list as soon as I'm done here but another good thing-I gave my older sister the confidence to sign up and do a Spartan Race in August with one of her friends from college-it might have helped that I told her if she did it, my boyfriend and I would be right there beside her the whole time so she wouldn't be doing it alone but she did it, I'm so proud of her for signing up and doing something out of her comfort zone(like so far out, you can't even see it)

Edited to add in:
Sometimes I love when field techs come back into the office after being gone for awhile. One of them came back today (he's been out in the field for at least 4 months) Here's our conversation:
Him: Have you lost some weight Christy?
Me: Yeah, a little
Him: Not just a little, but a lot, you look great.
