i read the declutter blog and thats me, well the opposite of me if you know what i mean but what i need to do

im a clutter person dont get me wrong my home is tidy and clean, but i dont throw away, it comes from my past but hey thats me, ive got boxes of cards that my kids have sent, photos you name it i have it. as a person i hate change i cling to things, and when offered change like a new job i panic and say no

i think its because i get scared, i like to feel in control and if somethings the same youre in control, but im not living life to its max

ive hid in here, licking my wounds and gaining control back but ive realised finally i want more

ive written a list of some short terms things to do, some medium and some longterm, they are in my diary and im planning on getting there

so instead of seeing busy doing all the rite things im gonna be brave and take a leaf out of others books and set my goals on here so that in time i can look back and give myself a hug

short term next two months

to loose weight, get down one dress size
to exercise for four hrs a week minimum
to accept my mum wont come home, to clean out the two houses and accept that i have lost the battle, dementia has won and i need to move on
( to stop feeling guilty for what i havent done and see the positive things i have )

six months
to be a size 14 top , in that bikini ideally to lose two inches off my chest
to have both of my girls in university, thats my journey to education finished for them and start for me
to enrol in a part time course, that will allow me to leave my job

one year
to be a slimmer, fitter me
to be happy and smiling
to accept that mums illness may still be part of my life but it doesnt control me
that i will have one yr of further education under my belt and have changed my lifes direction
to no longer let someone else have the power to make me feel small or that im less than them
to set the best example of a human being i can be

karen you get in life what you deserve, how others treat you and respect you, that mirrors you, and the way you treat yrself, stop being a doormat, and putting others first, its ok to be supportive and concerned but when its all going out and nothings coming back thats wrong
go for it missus, if you fail , bugger it nooone but you will know x

Basically, eat fewer calories that you use up. Seriously I know you want more than that. Use the nutrition tracker and put down every morsel that goes into your mouth. Knowing you are going to write it down helps me think twice about eating something with empty calories. Do cardio 5-6 times a week. Do strength training doing your upper body on one day and lower body on another... this gives your body time to readjust and heal any slight muscle tears. Report Inappropriate Comment

first bite of chocolate in 6weeks

Sunday, April 08, 2012

so i did lent, i gave up chocolate it was hard but i managed for the first time in my life. this morning i had a bit of my easter egg, it was nice very sweet and tbh not the oomph factor i expected but i ate it then got on the stepper for 20mins, maybe the thing spark has taught me is balance

ive been the same weight for almost 8mths but my dress size and my body are changing in a positive way, i still eat what i want but i accept that there are consequences, and i actually am really enjoying gaining my fitness

thats the thing i love most

have a great day everyone x
