Operation Beautiful has freaking EXPLODED!  It’s huge!  🙂 I’m loving it.  It’s so nice you are all spreading the love — check out the end of this post for all the updates!  And rest ALL the notes here.

 

My mid-afternoon snackies included:  a crushed Kashi TLC bar, strawberries, and yogurt.

And a mini-pita with a smidgen of cheddar cheese (melted in the microwave, of course!)

To hold me over through my part-time job night-shift and the gym, I ate three PB celery sticks around 5:30.

After work, I headed to the gym.  I didn’t really go with any particular workout in mind — I just knew that I couldn’t run because I’m not suppose to run two days in a row.  So, I ended up just walking on the treadmill and reading a magazine.

 

• Duration: 30 minutes
• Distance: 1.75 mile

 

I left my own Operation Beautiful note in a gym locker.

This is one of my workout mantras.  🙂

 

Dinner was easy… it was already 9:15, I needed something fast! I had  Anne’s organic macaroni and cheese and some broc.

 

I was a little heavy handed with that pasta pour, me thinks!  I couldn’t finish all the pasta so the doggies got a nice little snack.  🙂

 

Thanks again for making my day so wonderful with Operation Beautiful.  Here’s the latest notes!  And rest ALL the notes here.

 

More Inspiration

 

Kristien at Inspired By Dooce wrote, "I don’t have my camera at work with me today, but at about 9:30 I put a note on one of the bathroom mirrors that said "your imperfections are what make you beautiful". I just went to check on it and it is still there 🙂 I’m glad the cleaning crew didn’t take it off."

 

Baylee wrote that, "This morning, I attached this note to the mirror before running out on the track. The entire time I was
running, I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face! Apparently my note got to me – and hopefully it got to others too!"

 

Julie wrote, "I work for a Christian organization and used the sign to remind the lovely ladies I work with how beautiful they are, especially in God’s eyes!"

Alison from Mama’s Weeds posted not 1 but 2 Operation Beautiful notes today.  She wrote, "On my way out the door to the library today with my two young daughters, I grabbed a pad of post-its, a sharpie and my camera!  I posted two Operational Beautiful notes.  The first one went on the mirror of children’s restroom, up high for all the mama’s to see!"

 

Alice continues, "For the second, I scanned the stacks in the Health section and picked one of my old favorites, Fit From Within.  I picked what I thought was an appropriate chapter and left a note for someone to find when they check out the book.   My 5 year old daughter saw me writing the note for the book and asked what it said.  I told her "It says, You are Beautiful".  She said, "Who is beautiful?"  I said "You are!""

Holly at Domestic Dork did an electronic Operation Beautiful note:

Marie said: "I’m a student at Northeastern Univ in Boston and we’re in the midst of final exams for summer courses.  I decided to take a break from the computer lab and post a note in the bathroom, I hope it brings a smile to someone’s face!"

Kathryn posted a bunch around her own home and plans to do more in public places later.  Love this one:

Meghan from Help Meghan Run wrote, "I didn’t get a pic of my note today, but it said, "You are beautiful and perfect just the way you are," and I posted it publicly. I was so happy walking away thinking of the possibility that I will probably brighten at least one person’s day. Way to go!"

 

Danielle from Danielle Runs posted this one:

From Angela at Oh She Glows:

Carrie wrote me to say, "I just left a note saying "You are beautiful just the way you are!" on the women’s room mirror in my small town’s city hall building. For some reason, I was suuuuper nervous to do it, but I feel great now! Just after I left the restroom, though, a male janitor went in to clean the bathroom … I really hope he left the note up. *Maybe he took the message to heart, too!*"  Carrie — you are totally right! Men need love too! 🙂

Diana at Soup and Chocolate posted this public note:

Susan said, "My message is very personal. I’ve spent my whole life feeling like I’m not good at anything. So this little reminder is essential in my day. I know I have talents in there somewhere, beautiful talents!!" Read about her Operation Beautiful experience at Susan’s blog!
