Very wet day today. Schedule knocked out by flooding at neighbours house.
Spent a good hour shifting muddy water in buckets.
Getting very tired now. Eaten junk today, but kept within calorie total. Had to really bite my tongue in the evening, because I was so exhausted. Just left some items on my list and went to bed, will tackle them Friday. Wondering whether the junk food, affected my energy levels. Not going to give up though. I AM GETTING THERE.
TIDY CUPBOARD IN BEDROOM - FRIDAYI learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.0 -

Nice relaxed, quite productive day today. Didn't achieve all I wanted to, mainly due to DS announcing that he had to have a presentation organised for tomorrow, so we spent 1.5 hours doing it together.I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.0 -
Scrooge

Hi DC,
I so want to change this time and achieve my goals. I am a serial faffer, so if I can get there, anyone can.
But can a leopard change it's spots, we shall see.....I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.0 -

Not too bad today, considering. Coming down with a heavy cold, so did a load of paperwork instead of another cupboard. Struggled to gym for the toughest session yet, not sure it was a good idea, but afraid to lose the momentum.I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.0
