So my plan is this…I’ll be 30 in less than two years and since I want to enjoy life have adventures (ie don’t want to give up too much time and cash to the bike thing so I miss out on other stuff) I’m giving myself an extended period to save. Also, it’ll help when people ask what I want for the big 3 0 there’ll be all manner of bike accessories to suggest. Combining this with the fact that another one of my ambitions is to bike round USA then I can start planning this trip for real. It took my friends two years to plan their travels and save and they didn’t go by bike so i think its a fab plan.

How I did it: Made the decision that I was going to stop coming in at night and slobbing in front of the box- and guess what? I have time to do other stuff so I am now finished my 5th book of the year 'Interview With The Vampire' which is really really good, and very dark! Read how I did it…
I would totally recommend weight watchers to anyone whose dieting alone. You need support in an environment where you aren’t going to be judged and scrutinised for what you are/aren’t doing. I don’t go anymore but I still follow the points plan, but not so strictly- I shifted the majority of weight that I wanted to and now I’m doing it alone. It is tough and there are days where I pig out still, but a little of something you like once in a while gives you a little boost. As far as I’m concerned if I really want a piece of cake and I have been good all week then darn it I’m gonna have one at the weekend…but I’ll do some aerobic exercise to counteract it.
I’ve decided that since I don’t seem able to discipline myself I’m going to apply to do a creative writing Masters so I have set deadlines that I have to work to, and also someone other than friends and family can get to read it and give me honest feedback.
