Well it was another huge day yesterday, so no time to blog, oops and after I promised too, but sorry body, it was 12.45am when we finally hit the sack, after meetings and finally getting home, but at least it was also no time to eat, lol, apart from the good food we managed to cram in between work and meetings.
But because we knew what this week was going to be like, Grant and I cooked a bit over the weekend and made up some vegetable frittata and smoked chicken casserole, so hey presto, lunch and dinner made for when we don’t have time…. forward planning goes a long way, and stops that bad mindset.
So this morning, as I hadn’t done any exercise yesterday, it was back to the 30 minute walk/jog on treadmill at 6am, and I really gotta admit it, I do feel less stressed and more motivated for doing it, another long day at work, then back home, stoke the fire, coz man it’s freezing down here, then back for another 30 minute session of weights and cross trainer. Put tea in the oven to heat, make the salad. I am so proud of myself….
It’s funny, you are going along so well until you spot the bag of coconut rough sitting on the bench that one of our clients made for us, and which unfortunately Grant bought home. MMmmm coconut rough…. salad….????
Yeh you guessed, the will power’s not that good, but mercy of mercies, I managed to stop at one…. Yeehah, I will call that a god bite and a minor victory … I did manage to stop myself, wouldn’t have done that last week, or the week before, so I will call that progress.
So tomorrow, it will have to be a good exercise session, and I passed the bags of coconut rough onto my son Jason’s partner… she loves chocolate, and yeah I know it’s not good for her either, but at least it got it out of my sight, (and now out of mind)
I will get stronger, my mind set will stay focused on my goal, and no god bites tomorrow!!!!
Have a great one
YAY you! Well done! Great idea getting the food organised beforehand too! You are doing so well! Keep up the great comeback!

Good work, Dawn! You’re back to planning and doing what you have to do, fabulous! Desi x
Hi Dawn. Nice to see you back.Isn’t it great when the exercise reward is realised – and besides when you get warmed up it’s easier to stay warm.
A funny story from the old days. My mother in law used to drop sweets off for my daughter then aged 4 (beacuse I told her we had found out G’s baby teeth enamel was severely damaged by sugar). My solution was to drop them in the rubbish bin before anyone knew they had entered the house. Thank you (gift received), in the bin (no damage done), no offence.
Looking forward to a catch up over the weekend. regards Ali
