I am packed and heading off to the airport. After 8 years I am heading back to the US to see my best friend in the whole wide world. I am doing this for me - probably the first thing i have done for ME in a long time.
It has been ages since i have done any sort of project - be that art or blog project - so when i came across the 4 Simple Goals project on Elsie's blog i decided that i had to have a go.
Here are the guidelines...........
1. choose simple goals that will make your life richer and happier on a daily basis. Things which you may not ordinarily do but that are not difficult.
2. choose activity orientated goals; not result orientated goals. For example....i choose to eat more fruit and vegetable instead of i choose to lose 10 pounds. Positive actions instead of the end result.
3. choose goals that are personal to you. They can be daily, weekly or just a once off.
4. choose a reward for each accomplishment.
5. blog your goals, each one as you achieve them and finally a big post once they are all complete.
Here are my 4 goals:
1. Take more photographs of anything and everything. Since i sold my Canon camera i have been a little lazy in taking photos. I sort of got side tracked with what i considered to be my "uneventful life" that i thought it was pointless to take photos. But not anymore.....i am starting to realise that i have an interesting life that needs living to the fullest.
2. Meet up with either a new or an old friend. I feel as if i have been hiding out from people for so long that i am really going to push myself to be a little more social. Get together with some old friends, or maybe even go and meet a new friend or two.
3. Paint a new canvas picture. I haven't painted a new canvas in months and i think it is about time that i do. Painting always make me happy and always leaves me feeling free.
4. Curl my hair and wear a pretty headband. I love curling my hair and have wanted to wear a headband for like forever, but when it comes down to it i always seem to chicken out. So.....one night when i go out for dinner or a movie, i will curl my hair and put on a headband.
makes everything smell fresh and new. I love it when it rains - especially during summer. Thank you Lord for the beautiful rain.
In three and a half weeks i turn 29. Next year its the big 30 and my goal is to be thin by thirty. I have decided that this journey is going to be called Tales from the scales and my goal will be to weigh in at 170 pounds on September 11th, 2011. My goal is to have a BMI of less than 25.
Weight watchers, Rosemary Conley, Slimming World.............its all the same when it comes down to it. Calories in vs calories out. That is the bottom line.
I still have a few weeks until i decide which programme i am going to stick to.

And i hope it is not going to last much longer. This constant feeling of sickness is horrible. Not sure when it will pass but it needs to be soon. I am trying to decide if i should go back to work tomorrow or take another day off....with only a few days to go before i a heading off to the USA i guess i had better go back to work.
