Daily Awesome

[jadesfire]

Today I am awesome in several ways. I got lots of work done without really struggling at it, I came home and did cooking for my lunches this week as well as major_jim's, I cleared the kitchen AND I cycled the 2.5 miles to work. And back! The plan is to cycle there and back every day on my old, heavy, pink and yellow bike (the paintwork is an anti-theft device, honest) until my birthday. If I can keep it up that long, then it's worth spending the money on a grown-up bike. Watch this space!

More importantly, I was awesome because on the cycle to work, every time I started thinking "oh, I'm so unfit, this is terrible" I made myself stop (thinking, not cycling, since that would have more or less defeated the purpose) and think "I'm going to get better. I'm doing really well for my first time." The positive thinking seemed to carry me through the whole day, so that's a major, major win \o/

So there was much of the awesome today. What about you guys? Still awesome out there?

Yes, I am awesome ^_^
...and I turned your daily awesome thing into a bit of a meme - my sister's started doing it too!
...and my bike is pink & white, which also helps me feel safe leaving it places ^_^ though I'm not going to replace it 'coz even though a newer one (or even some newer parts like a different seat) would maybe make it more comfortable to ride, I am too short for most bike frames, lol.

Sounds like you have been awesome indeed today!

I am awesome because I spread the awesome into my LJ (http://miss-zedem.livejournal.com/266674.html) \o/

And yes, thinking positively about your cycling is definitely awesome :D

Yay for cycling! That is mega-awesome, as is being positive about it.

I am awesome today as I went swimming again; I'm managing to go at least twice a week and I really do feel better for it.

Yay for awesome you and awesome biking. And tell your conscious mind from me that it's absolutely right, and you will get better at it.

I am awesome today because I concentrated through three and a half hours of maths.

Today is awesome because it started out a pajama day and I still got things done. A pajama day for me being a day when I don't need to go out of the house and generally want to be lazy and am not feeling awesome at all.

It is also awesome because I have chocolate ice-cream.

You are awesome for riding your bike. I would ride a bike, but I live above the 1000ft contour, and where I work is at sea level (in fact, the basement is I believe below sea level - not that we're anywhere near the sea). Going to work would be fine. Coming back would be impossible unless I was Chris Hoy.

I have been awesome today in ways that are too tedious to recount (they involve an HR problem and an issue to do with client/contractor relationships), but which resulted in one win/win situation, and one win/win/don't count anyway situation.

The biking is awesome, and especially impressively awesome is being able to stop those negative thoughts. Good for you! (I know you're wearing a helmet. I worry!)

I am awesome today because I was productive in various ways, including finally making those cupcakes I was talking about last week, and because I worked it out so I'll have people to feed them to (faculty meeting tomorrow). And I'm going to reward myself with one later tonight. Have to make sure they're good enough for other people. :)

Yay, you had lots of awesome today! Yay! *happy hug*

Today I was awesome for doing many things which needed to be done despite a headache of evil proportions. So now to relax a bit then to go lie down in a dark room.

You'll just have to take my word for it that i'm awesome today ;)

Hi,

I survived driving the large (for me anyway) courtesy car without having an accident - scared the living daylights out of me!

And good for you on the positive thinking! (and again I'm 24 hours behind *hides*)
