Feeling good

Since I last posted, I've...

Given up sugar. Today is my 14th day *sugar free*. I still eat two pieces of fruit a day. One day I just felt like doing it (as you do) and said good bye to the stuff.

It wasn't easy. Day 4 was one of the worst days...I nearly fell asleep at my desk in the afternoon, and I had a massive headache. I didn't make much sense, felt all foggy in the head.

Day 7 I woke up with a sore head and blocked nose etc...I commented to Hubby that I thought I was coming down with a cold, and he told me he'd read that it was just another symptom...he was right. No cold.

A couple of days ago I could have murdered someone for a chocolate bar. But I didn't, and obviously something must have distracted me because I haven't touched the stuff. Didn't know I had so much will power.

And Hubby has joined me. He has been sugar free about nine days, I think.


I have so much more energy now. After only 14 days, I no longer need that 4pm sugar hit. I've lost 1.8kg without even trying. And here is the best thing - I don't have stiff sore joints when I get up in the morning...


I've also been ...

Uncluttering the garage because Hubby is going to convert it into my office space. It will be so good to have a space that is away from the house to work from. So excited. Cannot wait. Am planning a gorgeous garden just outside it, it will be the main thing I see from the window near my desk. Lots of colour, Azaeleas, Agapanthus, a couple of Japanese Maples...


I've started to ...

Read "Lucky Bitch", it's an e-book written by Aussie girl Denise Duffield-Thomas and all I can say is do yourselves a favour and download it. I'm loving it and drawing inspiration and insights from every page. Warning : if you didn't like "The Secret", then it's probably not for you.


I'm going to ...

Hobart at the end of the month. It is just a three day conference with all my work colleagues from around Australia. I originally wasn't going to go this year, but my friend Kaz was feeling a bit fragile about running into an ex with his new girlfriend, so I decided to go along and be her date...should be a hoot.



And when I get back...


I can feel a bit of a challenge coming on...I may or may not share.



Feeling calm, focused, motivated and happy with my life.


Maybe I AM a "Lucky Bitch" after all....?
