The CEO and The President

The CEO and The President shared a laugh.... Oh hang on, thats me!  Here I am, hobnobbing, giving speeches to the TV cameras, doing live radio interviews, sending out press releases and being invited to be guest speaker at conferences... Yep, that's me...the CEO.  Chatting with the heads of international aid organisations, hanging with high commission people, and yes, chatting with Presidents.  All in a days work it seems!

Powering along

So I am really pleased to announce that I am finally back in the sexy sixties... This is the first time since I had my angel that I have weighed in under 70kg... and I am really feeling the difference.  I also notice, oddly and strangely, that I actually feel much better after exercising!  Well there you go... I have known those words to be truth in an abstract sense - kind of like knowing that I have rhino-like creatures living in my eyelashes... but I have not really experienced it in a believable way.
The other thing that surprises me immensely is that this is the first diet that I have done during which I actually feel like I am changing my way of life, not just "doing time".  I have done lots of diets before, lots, and each time it has felt like I am just hanging in there for it to end so I can get back to "normal" eating.  And I have not seen results....
But this time I can't imagine going back to the way I was eating.  I feel so much better having had a salad for lunch rather than something oily, fatty or loaded with carbs.  I am really loving learning new ways of eating, and I think perhaps I am a convert!  I also think I will finish this with a healthy terror of going back where I was... and I plan to THROW OUT (yes, you heard me... overcome my hoarding instincts and consign to charity) my 70kg plus clothes.
5 kilos down and 7 to go.... I am almost half way to my 12 week goal.
Go me :-)

going strong....

So its now the start of week four of my 12 week body transformation challenge.  And I have lost 4kg!  If I do say so myself... I rock!   This is the first time that I have actually stuck to something, with consistency and without my usual oh-so-familiar voice of rebellion.  I am also seeing results!  this can be a double edged sword, in my past experiences, and that sword can slice one of two ways - I can either feel inspired to go on.... or I can decide I deserve a reward for good effort - and fall off the wagon completely.
This time I am pleased, again, to report that I have overcome these irrational urges and celebrated my progress... and gotten up and kept on going... go me!
