organisation and an operation

So we are trying a new thing in our house. It's called organisation. Have you heard of it??

It's new and it's scary....

We're giving this 'organisation' a go because from here until Christmas, less than 4 months away people, we are flat out. And with hubby working away they way he does, our time is worked out in blocks of 3 weeks, so it's like 4 weeks away!

And the other reason is, I'm jumping aboard the operation fat mum slim train. Yes people, I am a fatty. I have four lots of baby fat stacked on top of each other. It isn't pretty and it isn't healthy. So I've made a commitment to my family and myself to live a more healthy life.
So there, now you know.

Why you might ask am I telling you this? Because it will make me more accountable. I'm really good at 'oh I can do that, lets start tomorrow' or 'things aren't that bad' or 'i can't live without chocolate'. Well I'm starting today, things are THAT bad and millions of people live without chocolate and so can I! Enough of my ranting....

So join me if you like. Operation fat mum slim or in trying this organisation thing. Just letting you know whats going on because from time to time I may ramble on about something other than sewing and alike.


Goals for week one :
1. Ride bike 5 times
2. Chocolate is not my friend so stop treating it like one
3. Drink more water
4. Eat more fruits and veggies

Wish me well xox

Good luck with the "operation" Bianca Jae. Sounds like making you a priority is overdue. I hope this is the start of a healthy you.

Good luck. I'm on a mini weight loss challenge already with my SIL. BUT the house needs a spring clean. How about a seven day spring clean challenge to get that side of things kick started. I'll do it with you if you like. Pick seven rooms/jobs that you have been avoiding and get them out of the way in a week. I don't know about you but being organised gets me very motivated. As for the chocolate, I gave that up when Cadbury changed their recipe. BAD news they are changing back to the original because of public pressure. I'll have to be strong on that one.

Good on you Bianca I'll be cheering you on in your goal for a healthy organised you! I'm going to join the gym soon to try and get fit but number 2 I will pass on that one.(lol):)

Good on you Bianca!! ... speaking from the perspective of someone who Once could consume a family block of Cadburys a day ( and often did ) ...
Once you do kick that chocolate you will see how it affects your perspective and has a hold on you. In hindsight I believe the chocolate really affected my perspective in a negative way and fueled depression.
