I mentioned last week in my last getting personal post that there were a few things I had to get a handle on. My health, my confidence and my independence.

Well things are taking shape already!

:: health :: I have been working out on the wii everyday for 30 minutes.

Santa brought me My Fitness Coach - Dance and I am getting right into it! I have set up a 14 day routine plan and have managed to stick to it so far. Because I am just a beginner the routines are quite short, about 18-19 minutes, so I then pop in the wii fit plus disc and do some hula, boxing and stepping. I am trying to do 15 mins of sweaty stuff on there to keep might heart pounding for the full 30 mins.

Yesterday was my 7th day moving my bum and I have lost 2lb this week!

It is working!

:: confidence :: I don't really know where I'm going with this one, but will let you know when I know!

:: independence :: My L plates!!! I started to learn how to drive just before Christmas and had 3 lessons but the weather got in my way. My instructor said he could take me out but suggested that a sledge would be a better form of transport for the moment! So I have just booked 2 more lessons for this week. I am really enjoying it I just need to master this clutch thing. Why and when I have to use it is still baffeling me, so hopefully by the end of this week I'll have it down!

Back to work officially tomorrow. I have spent this afternoon clearing out my studio making space for packaging up some goodies and getting to work on new designs. I got a delivery of new charms on Christmas eve and now have the time to get working with them.

Is there anything that you haven't had time for lately but are going to get to this week?

 hidden transition...

I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and are enjoying time with family, friends, good books and fine wine. I have been having a little of each and having a great time!

Today I stole away a couple of quiet hour to my self and get my jounal out. It has been so long since I have made time to write, in any form. Not an entry in my journal or even a brain storm page scribbled down on Windows. At first I sat looking at that little flickering cursor with no idea of what I wanted to write. Then I realised my word of today is "Transistion..."

I am feeling that some changes have to come and some have even begun. This isn't my new years resolutions this is much more than that. I never stick to them so they are a waste of time and energy.

Do you make New Years Resolutions? Do you stick to them? What are they for this year coming? I would love to hear.

This has been reveations that big things have to change, not for a hoot, not for a few months, but for good.

Topics covered include
:: my health ::
:: my confidence ::
:: my independence ::

I don't know how I'm going to takle them yet, but I will share all my discoveries with you along the way.
One blog that I have re-visited for some help is Dave Navarro's Rock your Day, and in particular this post Why you can't make that habit stick (part 1) This blog is well worth a read anyway but this post helps us explore the whys and hows. Have you any good posts that could help us all with trying to shake things in our lives up?

I'm signing off now because I'm up early to package up orders and get the house a good clean and tidy, and try to cook my first fritata! Wish me luck xxx
