I'm here! Computer is being slow though. I am writing up a paper that I gave at a seminar a couple of weeks ago, and it is slow going. All that's left are the introduction and conclusion but they are always the hardest bits! Did I tell you my first book was published last week? Ok, it's a translation, and there are 3 other translators, but it's still a real book with my name on it. Very excited!
So ... how is everyone?
Shalyne - it's so good to see you again. What's a Naturopathic doctor? Is it the same as Homeopathic?
Trish - Oprah sounds fun! I will be in Spain for 6 weeks, in Madrid, working in a couple of libraries. Got my ticket this morning and I am away from 12 March till 21 April. Such a long time - and I don't know anyone in MAdrid, all my Spanish friends are in Galicia or Barcelona. So I will be hunting out internet cafes to check in with you guys!
Belle, Ali - my click was not quite fitting into a British size 24 which I think is a 20/22 in the US. That was a horrible moment.
Suzanne, it'll happen. You could try working on a few healthy new habits instead of stressing about following the program, if that's what's hard. Pick a bad food habit and try and break it, then move on to the next one. Might that help? And tracking is definitely the way for me! Otherwise I just ignore half of what I eat ... cause if you don't write it down, it never happened, right?
And Belle, ALL my goals are short term! I haven't got anywhere near thinking about a final goal - like you, I've never been thin so I have no idea what to expect. It's cool feeling fit and active for a change though, isn't it? I'd almost take the feeling over the actual thinness
And I have to admit, I once went on local radio and said hi to alll my friends the 'mega-Blockheads' - yup, we all loved NKOTB as well. And Jon was my favourite too! Poor guy, I wondered what had happened to him.
So, I'd better get back to work - hi Stacey, Sarah, Kay, Jen, Debbie (good luck for the run!), Kim (hope things aren't too stressful, don't be afraid to cry if it moves you), and everyone else who knows me (sorry, back on the radio for a moment there!),
love
Lolly
