How I did it: i got an award at work last year. the 'mad' award for 'making a difference'. that made me so proud of myself for all the freakin hours and time i've put in. small recognition but a worthy recognition i thought. it makes me smile every day when i look at it and a good reminder that sometimes, hard work is recognised and rewarded. Read how I did it…
How I did it: why did i wait so long and waste my time with my crappy pc? i bought my mac book 1 year ago today. and i'm celebrating by coming back on 43 things. i heart it so bad. i named it audrey. it changed my life! Read how I did it…
i moved house in december. a one tonne truck took away a full load of crap. 4 months earlier i donated my front lawn full of items to salvation army.
i am starting on my clothes again this weekend.
this year is already feeling good!
i’ve lost about 140 cms across my whole body and at least one dress size. so that’s 2 more dress sizes to go. kilos are irrelevant. i want to wear a size 12. last year for my birthday i got into a skirt i bought 5 yrs previously and have never been able to wear. that felt so good. i bought a dress in paris in january that is this year’s birthday goal dress. i will look amazing in it i know come may 10!
