Oops – forgive me friends for I have sinned, It has been 16 days since my last blog. . . . . .
Today’s my day for inspirational wisdom. I seem to have been freely offering tips and hints to all comers. (yep invited or not!!). My new reading is How to get from where you Are to where you want to Be by Jack Canfield (Get it, A to B ). It is a great read and works on his 25 principles of success. My journey seems to be from who I was to who I am going to be, but firstly to who I am now. I feel like a child on an adventure, my comfort zone has no bounds so there doesn’t seem to be a lot that fazes me these days. I have had heaps of issues thrown at me this week, including the fact that I’m working tomorrow – yes Saturday morning starting at 7am!! I have 3 cashiers that work for me and they are all unavailable (annual leave, a contagious bug and a damaged knee and can’t do the stairs) :-( so I and my 2IC are it. I hope we balance.
As a practicing Christian (not mainstream) in one of my conversations with the Lord last spring he gave me a new flesh. It was the unzipping of my old flesh, then peeling it off and stepped out of it. Now here I am physically in that place. Very comfortable. (from memory the new flesh was smooth and very fitting, mmmm !!)
June is bringing me a couple of lovely milestones. I will pass the 20kg mark and I (like Desi) will be a 70′s girl. It’s a bit surreal as I don’t remember when I was last there, probably in the late 80′s. I’m glad I didn’t save my clothes to get back into. Yuk!! I’m getting a bit impatient now as I’m not fond of the hollows vs the rolly bits. It’s nice to feel bone structure in my bum though. I think my new byline will have to be “All class and no Arse”, if you get my drift - for who do I want to be?
Time now for sweet dreams (work shortly)- Ali xx

Hi there
Love your site, i need to get mine looking like it. Sounds like dancing is fun, a bit to creepy for me having to dance with all those guys. I loved the time away in Wellington with Jordan – spent a bit of money, ate some wrong foods, been so busy over the last 2 weeks writing reports, so i’ve kept away from the computer, but all finished now, thank god.
thanks for your support

Well done mum! Am so looking forward to you getting that 70′s mark too!!
This has been such an exciting journey for you and a real inspiration to me and many others. What I like the most about this all is the help and advice you are getting (& sharing).
We were talking the other night on the phone and I had said I was doing a weight loss thing with a group of work mates – but for me the minute I’ve said diet – out come the hot chips & chocolate….so need to work on my mind more to stop myself from running to rubbish food.
Mum has kindly offered to drop off some of her yummy food on her way down south next week – so am looking forward to that (as well as some yummy recipes to try).But this challenge has opened up so many new aspects for my mum and its so exciting – I look forward to being able to do things with her more now and with her new enthusiasm – I think I’ll be the one struggling to keep up!
Keep it up mum!!
