Back

Hi

I am back and in the little while I was gone I manage to pick up 2 kg. And so this year ends the same as every year has for last 7 years. I weigh more instead of less.

Well technically the year is not over yet I have 7 days before the year end. But I am not going to go into panic mode and try to starve myself or detox. For the next 4 days I want to re-establish the gains I made in exercise, water drinking and cut out the cold drinks, find my inner (thinner peace) through visualization. The I should be ready for a 1-3 day detox - starting the New Year on a fresh and positive note.

Last night I wrote down the following New Year Resolutions - I joined a swap that says its a tradition to write it down but necessarily to keep.

5 things you would like to change in the new year [resolutions]

1. Make healthy decisions on a regular basis. One tool I plan to use to help me is the 4 Day Win by Matha Beck. I have started a blog .
2. Have more sex with my husband. ( I was very sick this past year and this is the area in our relationship that suffered the most.
3. Become more spiritual as a family.
4. Make our a home place where not only enjoy living, but also feel proud of when people visit.
5. Start dancing again (Belly Dance, Spiritual dance, just dance). Any dance, maybe even learn a new one.

5 things you would like to accomplish [goals]

1. Lose 1 kg (2.2 pounds) a week for the next 10 months ie. Weight 65kg at end of October 2008.
2. Climb up Helderberg Mountain – to First peak.
3. Pay off my credit card by the end the year and reduce my debt. I want to be debt free in 18 months.

5. Learn a new skill e.g. HTML or Photoshop or sewing or………….
