Life is...

...a journey and not a destination!

Sometimes you need to stop and smell the roses!

The week that was...

So last week came and went and I wasn't so good on the updates.
Highlights and goss from the week that was:
1. Move went well, although there are so  many rooms and windows in house, will take while to get used to.
2. 21 day plan, week one: Diet 4 out of 7 days (57% - still pass plus lost 1 kg - better than nothing), also climbed mt eden 5 of 7 days and will make up others, so pretty and good to clear head watching sunrise.
3. Got to help tweak colours on tower other night, parked up eating my McD's - hmmm not good diet day.
4. Had bike lessons with Jodi - learnt turning corners and cadence - quite good, cornwall park is so pretty especially on sunny Autumn Sunday morning.
5. Caught up with Liz, Regan and Trace Sat night and checked out some of my new locals in the village, Mulberry and Molten - very cool/cute and will be visited again.
6. Am rocking out a new (well have had before but not for while) haircut, darker and shorter - looking for lots more change moving forward
7. Was another big work week so crammed in visit home to the bridge, was great to see Mum, Dad and Gran and Rob - do some baking and sit in sun on deck - must do again soon.
8. Hmmm can't think of much more but I can't end on an uneven no. it's a thing I have - will write about it one day. Ha ha...

OK me over and out. NG :)

Friends and super heros

I'm really lucky to have some great friends and Manda is one of those - wanted to do a shout out to her today as we caught up yesterday on Skype.  As always it was inspiring, fun, funny and great to play catch ups. We've done lots of fun things together and after her learning that I'm blogging and me finding this picture recently I thought I would share the time... we got dressed up as superheros in a Gold Coast shop for fun in our early 20's. Lame you may think - but we have had lots of laughs over the years about this one. Heh heh... this ones for you Manda :)

Day 1 of 21

Day one - tick :) YAY - 20 to go, imagine next few days going to be hard especially with work in the mix. Saw Stace today and she did in Jan and grumpiness is envitable with low calories... dulp. To keep me motivated am going to put out there where I am so can track progress... not something I want to admit but currently am as follows: 73kg, Arms: 33, Waist: 78, Hips: 104, Thigh: 60. Aim for 21 days is to hit 70kg. 1 kg/week here we come. On another note bought new kitchen scales today - they are electric and also do the tempertaure - very cool. NG :)

April - 3 Goals

Was inspired at the mount last week when out walking and decided to come up with 3 goals for April. To start tomorrow (Monday) after Easter so can take few days to veg before big April challenge...

Big three are:
1. Do the Australian Womens Weekly 21 Day Diet
2. Climb Mt Eden 21 times during 21 day Diet.
3. Only buy things I really need (during 21 days)

Boxing and Beauty Pagents

Had two firsts this week, went to my first proper boxing event - Tua vs Friday and beauty pagent - Miss World - New Zealand. Was fun to do both and check out a couple of different events.  Boxing was my fav - loved the hype and was cool as we did the weigh in at work day before.
