Dat 7

I woke up this morning and  decided enough is enough! I just cant live with this unwanted blubber any longer - something must happen, and happen now before it drives me to dementia! You might have gathered that I'm not feeling particularly at peace this morning, ( I guess it is Monday) I need to see some change for all my hard work. Maybe I'm just not working hard enough - maybe I must think of this as the United Nations attacking Libya to restore peace, my butt is about the size of Libya so it shouldn't be to hard to imagine. I'm just full of self loathing this morning, probably because if I have to be brutally honest with myself I haven't been as strict on the diet side as I should have been. Its a bit of a vicious circle when you start to do some real training in conjunction with cutting the calories because I find I'm more hungry that ever and its easy to justify that extra consumption because of the exercise! I have read so many times that a successful shrinkage of size is down to 70% diet and 30% exercise and at the moment I think I have that ratio the wrong way round!

I was chatting with my mother in law the other day and she told me about this fascinating article she was reading on coincidences (she reads a lot!). Its about how  we often say 'Oh what a coincidence!' but maybe, there is no such thing as a  coincidence at all and these affirmations or occurrences are part of our destined paths and, therefore, meant to be. For example, my husband and I are going to New York in June without the children for a week of adult fun and shopping - on the day we booked the tickets, both times I turned the radio on in the car, the song "New York" by Alecia Keyes was playing - now is that a coincidence or is it a sign from some destinal force telling me that I'm doing the right thing? To bring things back to my current dilemma, this morning on my way home from dropping Daisy at school I was wondering if I shouldn't enquire about some slimming treatments to spur me on and when I got home there was a pamphlet in the letter box about just that! You see, we just don't know if its a hap- hassid collision of thought and happening or if its a calculated occurrence from our source of destiny? Anyhow I'm approaching today and the future with the steely determination of a fighter jet pilot over Tripoli! x
