TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY

Tuesday was a good day - went to chiropractor, busy day at work and had an
Auction on at 6:00pm. I picked up one of my vendors and took him to the auction (he is in his 80's) and then dropped him home again. We have two people interested in his house but it did not sell under the hammer. We did sell a beatuiful home on the golf course for $700,000 under the hammer. I have a rule that I do not go to the gym on Auction day cause my hair drops, my makeup runs etc etc and it is all just to hard so no gym on Tuesday.
Today Wednesday was another good day - I had to go and get my glasses fixed early this morning and then off to a Property Management Meeting at the Grapevine. I shouted the team breakfast as their arrears were very low for the week. We then had an Orana PM Meeting straight after for an hour. I fogot to move my car and yes I got a parking ticket that cost me $79.00 :) Totally my fault - I just totally forgot about my car.
Margie got the whip out and we went to the gym today and I did shoulders and 30 miutes on the incline treadmill. Today I was throwing the idea around of competing in April as there is an Internation Competition on in Dubbo. I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to see if I still have the dedication and discipline. I had decided that I would not have enough muscle once I got the fat down but I was really motivated after visiting the INBA site with all the 2008 dates. Any way because I was thinking today that I would not be able to eat all those just normal foods I started craving all the things that I know I will not be able to eat. This started me tasting a tiny piece of fruit mince pie when I purchased the bread, I then wanted a yoghurt so I ate that with a banana, then it was the Natural Almond butter so I had a tablespoon of that, then it was oh no I am not going to have chocolate so I had 4 choc coated almonds and 3 fun sized chocolates. WHY DO I DO THIS as soon as I tell myself I can't have them I just go mad. If I tell myself I can have anything I want - I am very disciplined - we are such funny creatures.

Anyway now I am making up all the excuses not to do the comp like I will just look too skinny and have no muscle, I need to workout consistently for at least one year before I get up on the stage and make a fool of myself, it is too hard with all the Xmas parties, Xmas break, New Year, Weddings, meetings away etc etc etc.

The comp is exactly 4 months from today but I am still undecided as to what would be the best thing to do - I need to make a decision one way or the other, I need to totally commit to whatever it is that I do so I will totally focus, visualise, put in the work, and enjoy the results or decide that I am just going to maintain where I am while adding muscle.

Sorry for the ramble.

Margie and I are weighing in tomorrow at my house as we are not allowed to weigh in at the gym unless we have an instructor with us we just in case we brake the gym scales. We understand that because if everyone took over like we did the scales would probably not last too long :)

Anyway our current goal is to maintain until January so I will have to make my mind up very soon. I have luncheon tomorrow, a birthday luncheon Friday with my mother in law. I Xmas party in Orange on Saturay - so we will be driving and staying overnight. We then have another birthday party on Sunday afternoon. I have a Luncheon at my board meeting in
Sydney on the Tuesday, A retirement luncheon back in Dubbo on Wednesday, Claudia's Ballet Concert on Friday night and then our Work Xmas party on Saturay night just for starters :)

Jolly I will be a brave girl if I decide to do this comp - I just don't think I have the energy at the moment - I will see how I feel after a good night sleep.

Ok signing off - over and out

Truly great
+++++++++++++++++++

Life is not always easy. And that is a major reason why it is
so precious.

Many of life's best rewards are possible only because you
must work your way through difficult challenges to get to
them. If everything in life were easy, there would be no
opportunity for real fulfillment.

If the only things you experienced were pleasure and
comfort, it would be impossible for you to fully appreciate
them. A life of total ease and a complete lack of challenge
would be unbearably tedious.

When the next challenge comes your way, when the next
obstacle blocks your progress, find it in yourself to be
thankful. For the difficulties provide you with truly
magnificent opportunities to create value, to find meaning
and fulfillment in living.

The challenges enable you to give of yourself and to make a
real difference. And that's something you desire at the
deepest level.

Life is not always easy. And because of that, you have the
opportunity to make it truly great.

Ralph Marston
