When I went for this goal I was 90kg and now on the scales this morning I was 84.4. I anticipate it’ll be another month or two but it’s so close!! When I’m 79 I will be pretty happy.

I’m seriously passive aggressive – not professionally, but certainly in my personal life. I do have some self preservation instincts but they usually kick in just a little too late. So this year I am going to try my hardest to say how I feel and not be scared. I’ve never really yelled at anyone, or even been that angry and certainly not aggressive. But if that does happen, or if I throw a tantrum or something… that’s OK :-) After all, I am an opera singer – it’s almost expected of me!
Perth is lonely and my workplace is so small, I often feel very isolated. I miss my family on the east coast and I miss all my friends over there too. I have made some friends over here but haven’t quite ‘filled the void’ – especially in terms of companionship, female friends, someone who you can just hang with at any time. So… how exactly I will go about it, I don’t know yet – sites like getalife.com.au and stuff like that I guess. But I’m really keen on meeting new people and desperately hoping I can form some friendships!
