AJ,

No problems in the temptation category at this point. I am way too grounded right now to do anything to screw up the good thing I've got going. I just feel better about myself in general right now. When W blew up Tuesday night and fired at me with all the guns she had available, I was able to stay calm and listen to her. I would never have been able to do it 2 months ago. If nothing else, I think it proved to me that my changes and attitude are for real.

Even as you are altering your PMA and GALing, you are telling yourself that you are doing these things for you. You try to detach and say that their actions do not dictate your actions and feelings. I really felt like the reality of my changes and my own DBing was tested this week and I survived. That has really given me a boost of energy and resolve.

Really fired up today. Had 2 different visitors at work today for me to talk to and use my communication skills with. I genuinely like listening to people. When you look at people face to face and show interest in them, they perk up and really talk with you.

I'm also incredibly excited to run my first 5k in the morning. Last year at this same race, W ran with the boys as I stood around drinking hot chocolate with other parents and taking pictures. To say that the last year has really changed my life is an incredible understatement.
