12 November 2009: Everything is going really well

My Journal - I was reading through my journal this morning on the train. It is a little while since I have looked at that particular one - but it covered the time when I felt particularly down with myself. It was hard reading it - but at the same time it was really great knowing that I have come out of the other side. I do enjoy keeping a journal.

Skiing Holiday - Thinking ahead about my skiing holiday and how great that will be. I want to get together all of my friends who are really interested in coming so that we can sort a few things out and make some decisions.

Health and Fitness - I weighed in this morning at 12stone. Thats really good. I am well on my way to getting to 11stone 7lbs. Great isn't it? I really enjoyed running last night in the dark. I ran just over 5km and the result was that I lost 1lb compared with the morning. Great. I will definitely do much more running - that, and eating great healthy food is clearly the way to go with weight loss. The other thing that I have been doing is toning up. My biceps are getting quite noticeable now, and that is really cool. They are bigger, and look good. I think it is due to the running that I have been doing. I have decided to do bicep curls with some small weights so that I can help their development and look great. I have started doing a few torso twists. I will add some sit-ups into the mix as well.

Work is going well - I am really jumping into it today and making an absolutely tonne of things happen. There are a few things that I need to make good progress on and therefore I will be taking a few steps with each of those - in particular by setting out what I want to achieve and taking some actions. I have such a great team around me.

Weekend - Looking forward to the weekend. I am really enjoying planning a little ahead at the moment. It is really nice to have things lined up to enjoy. I think it will be really nice to go to Tenterden and have a meal there. It is such a lovely place and it is going to be really local to us. Great isn't it. We will also visit the village where we will be moving very shortly. Perhaps a cream tea?

Moving to the countryside - we have had another piece of paperwork from the solicitors. It is the additional enquiries and I have answered them to the best of our knowledge and sent them back. We much be getting really close to getting a date for exchange and then completion. I really hope to be in our new home well before Xmas. The first week of December would be absolutely marvellous. The whole move will go perfectly smoothly.

someone suggested to me to picture what it would feel like for me to live in my body say 5 years ago, and it was like an epiphany really, how much we change and grow and don't see it in the moment. cool to hear you say the same thing via your journal. thanks for sharing, wishing you a FAB weekend!
