Day 113 - New Attitude ...

Runnin' hot, runnin' cold
I was runnin' into overload
It was extreme, ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-extreme
I took it so high, so low
So low, there was nowhere to go
Like a bad dream
Somehow the wires uncrossed, the tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn

I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tidied up my point of view
I got a new attitude
I'm in control, my worries are few
'Cause I've got love like I never knew
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got a:
N*E*W A*T*T*I*T*U*D*E!!!!

Thank you Patti LaBelle. This is my theme song for 2008.

I haven't made any New Year's resolutions but one of my most critical goals for 2008, is to continue the weight loss journey I started last August and lose the 27kgs/60lbs I have left to lose through good nutrition and exercise.

I'm back on my food plan and am thinking of participating in the Nazi of Overeaters Anonymous programs, GreySheeters OA for at least 90 days to help me meet my goals. It was in this program that I first achieved and maintained my weight loss many moons ago. I'm thinking it might be worth it for me to go back to basics as I intend to be 55kgs/120lbs before December 2008.

I have not weighed for a long time and I don't intend to until my next weigh day on the 27th January. It would demoralise me too much to see a high number. I know I have put on weight by the way my clothes fit, I wore a UK14/US12 pants to Barbados, but I didn't even bother to try it on on my way back because I knew it'd probably cut off my circulation complete and one thing you don't want to be is uncomfortable on a long flight.

Really pleased with my day today. I got right back on track with my food plan and met my full quota with the water. Tomorrow I will start incorporating exercise.

  3. I agree, your picture is gorgeous! Fuck woman, with a face like that the world is your oyster.
    I am also keen to get to goal in 2008, however I have gone backwards this last few months, and dread the thought of starting over. I have no doubt you will get where you want to go this year. x

  5. Thank you all for your wonderful compliments. I am biting my tounge from saying anything negative about myself in return. After all, I have a new attitude, right?
