    Right - I have to get off this sofa and do something :D

    Hey,

    that's not 'nothing', that's rest, recuperation & recharging ready for the week ahead :D

    I've put on weight again :mad: & only have 4 weeks now to become a sleek Goddess ..... :rotfl:

    Am a huge fan of Liz Jones in the Mail on Sunday and have just read something that really struck a chord in yesterday's column

    'I cannot let any more years whizz by. I have got to stop waiting for happiness. I have got to make it happen'

    Profound but scary! I am definately guilty of this, sitting back and thinking things will get better

    I want
    • to be slim and attractive
    • be debt free
    • live in a fantastic place
    Lying on the sofa will not get me these things, nor will 'meeting' somebody do it for me. I need to it for myself :D

    Thanks Lula, but actually it's achieving nothing :o And I appear to be spending my day off today doing the same :mad:

    • 3 x exercise 1 so far
    • 3 x sunbed 2 so far
    • facepack done
    • sort paperwork no
    • goddess stuff :Ddone
    Bit of an update - finally gotoff the sofa and have made a bit of progess but no exactly what I had planned for my days off :mad: Not really feeling very motivated :o Have done loads of thinking but not really come to any conclusions/come up with a plan - saying I want to be happy is rather too vague methinks :D

    I managed to
    • go to the gym
    • go on the sunbed
    • do Slendertone
    • facepack
    • deep condition hair
    • other 'goddess' stuff
    Not a totally wasted day, defo want to finish my list tomorrow :D

    When I go back on Wednesday I have decided I need to make some changes to the way I work. I intend to start earlier and dedicate the first hour every day to admin. I will make sure I finish by 6.00pm every day - but am going to aim for 5.30pm. My job is important to me - (and it pays the bills :rolleyes:) but I think I need to get some balance in my life and give equal importance to the other areas of my life - getting fitter, seeing friends, hopefully starting some sort of course in September :D

    Good for you! There has to be more to life than work and just making small changes will probably be the making of you! Sometimes it takes a bit of 'you time' to realise ;) Had some wake up calls myself this weekend. K xx
