  • And finally, make an effort with my appearance (after the gym)! I'm a big believer in if i look better, i'll feel better :o

    This is so true, I can'tbe bothered with make up most of the time but it does make a big difference to how you feel! I should start including this :)

    I so agree with you! That's why it's been on my list too! It's such a rush getting two teenage daughters out of house and dropping them off for school bus and i never have time for the quick bit of make-up. Always mean to put it on at work and usually never get to it!

    Just wish I could get your motivation to go to the gym!!

    I only recently started to go back to the gym and making an effort with MYSELF. I just think i spend so much time looking after my son, my stepkids (who live with me), my husband and my house that it is about time i looked after myself and did something to make me feel better. I have quite bad depression at the moment, and i can honestly that going to the gym has helped me more than any pills ever have. I find going 1st thing on a morning is the perfect way to start up my day.
