I am getting really excited at the prospect of starting this goal. I found that when I was at uni I had way too much time on my hands to think about food, or eat whilst I was studying. I would get nervous about typing a report so I would just eat. Not good…I have put on a few kg’s. So, now that I am working, I figure that I can control my food more by preparing it the night before. I never really ate “bad” food when I used to work full-time because I was usually too busy, so I really see this as a new chance to start again. I am even contemplating going back to weight watchers where I easily lost 5kg’s. My best friend is doing it at the moment, and she only works a street away from me, so we can easily be each other’s support – which will be so cool.

I have much to be grateful for, but especially these….

1. I got the job, YAY!

2. For the trip down memory lane that I am having at present, a lovely little barcardi breezer, and the sounds of gatecrasher entering my ears and hypnotising my brain. I was so amazingly happy to just dance the night/early morning away. Dancing was my life and safe haven. I miss it!

3. The yummy Thai food that we had tonight, very nice…thank you!

4. For the peace and contentment that I have experienced since finishing uni. I almost feel like a different person. I knew that uni was not good on my self-esteem and mental state, but I didn’t realise it was to this degree.

5. For my “new” boss making his decision early, instead of leaving it till mid next week.

6. That my mum is feeling confident about the Abbey Museum’s upcoming tournament where she will be showcasing her talent. She is such an amazing lute player and someone who I love and respect so much. She has come such a long way. I am very proud of her.

7. For K.D Lang’s performance of “Hallelujah” (not sure of correct spelling – oops) on tv. It was just beautiful. I am not normally a fan of hers to be honest, but this was just amazing to listen too. Also the interview she did afterwards was really interesting. Particuarly her take on buddhism. She seems to have such a serene presence and so much gratitude. I was drawn to that…which I am thinking indicates that I need a bit more serenity in my life.

8. Thanks for the wonderful people at the recruitment agency, with 2 in particular, they were fantastic…so friendly and helpful.

9. Getting the house in clean order…we can now have a somewhat stress-less weekend. Only have the groceries to do, so that isn’t too bad.

10. Remembering my mobile when I was only 5 mins away from home instead of 40mins. Also, for going into the garage and noticing that my internal car light was on. :)

I am so happy right now! All the running around has paid off and I start at the “picky” place on Monday. What a fantastic way to start the weekend! My partner and I are celebrating with Thai and a dvd…I love doing that!
