    Start of the 100 days - woohoo

    I'm like knitwit - I'll keep updating here on your thread but will put more dtls on my own so as not to hijack this.

    I've not fully sorted out goals yet - but I like chamichelle's idea of goals in 7 different areas. I'll work on this tomorrow as today the DH's rellies are coming over from the West to go to the crem (2 years today since his Mum died) so I need to Stepford Wife the house.

    Also I'll need to have a wee look online as pharmacy has recommended DH go to docs asap as it looks like he's diabetic..... So losing weight as a challenge is definately on the cards.

    Anyway - the hoover calls - have a good one folks - and scrooge - enjoy the hols

    Right - here's my first pass at my top 3 goals for the next 100 days in each area:

    FAMILY
    1. Create a "Dream wall" with DS1 so he understands more about Goal Setting
    2. Finish putting the walls in upstairs so that we can have a winter in a proper house
    3. Have dinner around the table every night - not on the sofa with the Simpsons

    SOCIAL
    1. Help the Sai team renovate and decorate the school
    2. Build my local network to locate a home for our Erd-kinder kids
    3. Have friends around for drinks / coffee and cake every week

    HEALTH
    1. Lose 20 lbs in 14 weeks (well I gotta look glam in my Wedding Dress - LOL)
    2. Follow SW plan 5 days from 7 - and write it down
    3. Do Callanetics plan at least 3 times per week

    ATTITUDE
    1. Use mindstore tapes on a daily basis
    2. Wear Capsule Wardrobe and Make-up daily
    3. Have a weekly pamper session

    CAREER
    1. Work with my Mentor Dave to create the 2010/11 plan for business
    2. Write the "71p and three nappies" book
    3. Have 10 advance bookings in the diary and come off benefits

    FINANCIAL
    1. Pay off the bank (will update figures soon)
    2. Sell 100 of my books at £10
    3. Create 1% of the mortgage in virtual stock (sewing)


    Off to phone my Mentor now to get kicked off.

    Good morning all,

    MG - such an inspiring thread! I love it.
    Been reading for days & finally caught up. Could I join the 100 days challenge please? I have so many things I want to achieve though.

    * De-clutter & make our house into a home
    * DD suggested I 'get a six pack' LOL (not had one of those for 20 odd yrs!)
    * Design & make more clothes
    * Spend more time with friends & family

    I may also start my own thread too:eek:

    ok my plans for the 100 days ...

    i really only have two things in my life that i am currently unhappy with so i am going to concentrate on them

    number 1

    health ... i am extremely overweight and unhealthy i am having fibroiod issues but have been doing some research on them and coming up with a master plan to deal with them ... my weight has to decrease as oestrogen is stored in the fat cells of the stomach (guess where alot of my fat is) and too much oestrogen is a contributing factor with fibroids ... also because of the life i have lead for a the last few years ... studying working two jobs 60 plus hours a week whilst trying to study full time ... dealing with everyone elses issues and not mine ... i have put myself to the back of the queue ... well that is stopping ...

    so in the next 100 days i will excercise more including doing the shred ... will be doing it for more than 30 days though ... will be upping my walking and upping my gardening ... i will be keeping an excercise and eating diary and oh i just thought i will go and weigh myself and take measurements ...

    number 2

    i will get back into business mode i will get my self organised and i will learn what it is i need to do to make my business successful ( well as successful as i want it to be)

    ahhh thats better
