Phew!!!

I can't believe its already been 10 days since my last post. Things have been soo hectic...have lots of news.

Non Fitness Stuff....

Ok, on Sunday we went out looking at houses - our rental property is up in March and we hadn't decided if we would continue on or buy again. The houses in Vic Park are sooo expensive and for the price a wrought - really tiny and lots of work to do or massive mansions that you could only dream about. So on the spur of the moment we ducked across to look at a place in Lathlain to compare what you get in the two suburbs. OMG, we fell in love with the house straight away, it was perfect, it was us. We put an offer on it that afternoon and that evening they accepted!!! So we move in in March. I'm soo excited, its such a beautiful house and we walked past it with our boys last night and checked the area out and its such a great location and the whole street is being done up so I can only see that area going up in value - we are right near Burswood Casino etc, so the river is now even closer, say a 5-7 min walk and we have views of the skyline from our front garden and of the hills at our back patio....oohhhhhhh...can you tell I am excited.

What else?? I accepted a job offer today. I am really really nervous. I have no idea how I am going to go out in the "real" world again but I guess you never know til you try. It sounds like a great job for me to go back into and its soo close to home and the pay is awesome and all the people seem nice - I start is about 2.5 weeks, so I gotta get my butt into action here and find someone to work here and organise all our personal stuff to take home to our home office...aghhh!!!

Fitness Stuff...

I've been really good - exercising 5-6 days a week as planned. Eating better etc. I have started saying little mantras to myself every morning before I get out of bed to remind me of my goals

"I will eat healthily today"
"I will eat smaller portion sizes"
"I will exercise harder"
"I will lose weight"

I love mantras, I find they really do work after a period.

On Monday I also visited a naturopath in South Perth. I think I have mentioned in previous emails about my problems with my stomach, well its been getting beyond a joke so I thought I would try something other than the useless doctors I have been trying.

I loved my naturopath, he was awesome. He really took the time to find out about me and my life and everything, not just the symptoms!!! So at the end of the day I now have a whole bunch of herbal liquids, drops & tablets to take and the bigger...for the next 3 weeks NO GLUTEN OR WHEAT and to cut back on dairy!! Its only been a couple days but my system seems to be starting to process again and other problem was my anxiety of late was really flairing up for no apparent reason - apparently my nervous system is completely out of whack and that is actually reacting badly with my digestive system so if we get my nervous system under control it should fall in line with digestive system.

Sorry about the raving on but I'm just soo excited, I haven't felt this good for ages - its nice when you can really feel a difference.

So in respect to not being able to eat that much stuff coz bloody gluten/wheat is in most things, I am eating soo healthily and I am sure with my exercise this is going to pay off big time soon...motivation and determination!!!!

Take care all,
Mel.
