Made it to the gym + 10points
Left towel in car – 10points
Left shoes at home – 10points
HAD to buy a new pair +10points (well my sneakers didn’t go with my pants)
No alcohol +10points
Moved 8 out of 10 things on my To Do List to the next day – 10points
So at the end of the day I feel like I’m back to zero.

Why do we put such had targets on ourselves? Why can’t I be happy that I acheived some things and am alive and well?

They say it’s hard to be humble when your perfect in everyway – well, what are you when you are miles away from perfect?

I feel kind of in limbo. I’m so positive about War On Waistlines, but I haven’t started the food part of it yet with the individual sessions, so it’s like I’m only half doing it. I really hope that doesn’t start me on the motivational slide.

How silly is that??? The Blog is meant to show the journey I’m on, yet I’ve been to embarassed to tell people about it before I was happy with how it looked. It’s a good thing I haven’t been too embarassed to go out when I haven’t looked good. Ok, that’s a bit of porkie pie. I couldn’t count how many times I have been asked to parties or to do a gig and I haven’t done it because I thought I looked so bad. Then there were the days wher anyone would have thought I had reverse anorexia……I looked in the mirror and saw someone glamourous and attractive. Before you say it, yes I’ve had my eyes checked and no, I don’t need glasses.

No really. Had a holiday, then decided if I was going to do this ‘BLOG Thang’ that I really needed to do it properly, so I’ve been spending time (with help from others) redoing the site, moved it to it’s new page etc etc etc.?I’m back on track now – and some goals have even been achieved in that time. Do I get bonus points for that???Ok, so I didn’t drop many kgs in the last few weeks, but I didn’t put any on either. So I still think I’m doing well. As you all know, Xmas with all that food, wine etc etc is not good for a skinny person, let alone a fat chick!!! Why is it, every knows I’m trying to get to a goal weight…but still so many people gave me chocolate. Never mind cruelty to small animals, what about cruelty to big ones???Over the next few months, I’d love it if you joined me on my journey. I’ll be learning about Blogging and other online ventures. Stripping Back the Layers of my mind and waist, delving into new business opportunities and reducing my ever increasing debt.?Cheers to day 2 of no alcohol!!!

I wish you and your families the best for the festive season and I hope with all my heart that you move forward with excitment and success on your journey.
