A-Ha!

Thursday was an A-Ha day .. I'm talkin' 'bout all day, moments that hit you like "Oh my gosh, YES"!
I went to a seminar for work entitled "Assertive Communication for Women." Having never been to a seminar my expectations were pretty low. The speaker handed us our packets and leafing through I immediately dismissed the order sheet thinking "yeah right, I'm not going to buy any of these overpriced books."
I was blown away. I just caught myself nodding in agreement numerous times. And I realized so much. The biggest thing I took away was realizing I've been viewing people all wrong. I just have to recognize the different personalities in people and adjust my behavior in the way I react to them. As well as remembering not to take things so personally! I'm not explaining this at all to be an A-Ha moment for you. I wish I could, I can't. But to reinforce how good it was, I ended up buying $100 worth of books and audio CD's. Can't wait to read/listen to them. Will let you know how they work out! Overall the day was a great day for the self. So it'll be nice to come back and check out this post and look over those notes on a day that I just want to throw in the towel and eat one of everything at my favorite Mexican restaurant ;)
That same day, I went to this awesome Louisiana style restaurant and ordered a somewhat healthy meal. I'm learning that I can still eat out I just have to pick the right things .. and EAT IN MODERATION. I have a tough time with moderation. We had a Christmas gathering today at one of my Grandmother's .. compared to how I usually eat at those things I did good .. but still ate way too much. Ah. Forgive myself and move on!
So I have, I had a great workout and I'm ready for another Monday! Or at least as ready as one can be for a Monday.
