What a Wonderful Day!

Highlights of today...

I have been volunteering for an organization I used to work for.  I love the organization so much and have enjoyed the volunteer work I do for them.  I volunteered today, which is always lovely.

Even more special today was that one of the volunteers I have been working with suggested I be on the Advisory Council.  I have been on another council in town, but didn't particularly enjoy it or feel like I had anything to offer.  This is so different, I have been through the program for volunteers, held the training sessions, and created their media in the past.  I also have more connections and other resources now.  The meeting time is also more convenient with my schedule! I was so flattered that another volunteer submitted my name!! I accepted the offer!

I was crazy busy at work today and ran a bunch of errands for work this afternoon.  I just logged in to check my work e-mail and guess what?  We are getting raises this year!  This will be my first raise after over two years with the company! Yay!  I am not sure how much of a raise it will be, but even a small one helps. 

In the same e-mail I found out we get four bonus days off between November and December. Last year we only got three.  I don't know which days I will take, but I am really looking forward to the paid time off.  Woohoo!

The hubby also thinks he will get a raise this year! Yay!

I have had 9 days in a row of eating on plan and done really well working out.  I think there was only one day in the past 9 that I didn't.

Two co-workers commented on my weight loss. One goes to Weight Watchers with me and the other doesn't know I am going. 

Another co-worker is going with us tomorrow! She just had a baby and is excited to go! We didn't even recruit her, she approached us. 

I have a goal set to lose 30 lbs between last week and the middle of January.  So far so good.  I know I have a few challenges up ahead...working the conference this weekend while being fed hotel food, our cruise, and the holidays.  I am still really confident I can do it.  I know I can.  I just feel so confident right now. I love it!

What was great about your day?
