My new normal...

I was chatting with Madam Lash recently about how much things have changed for me, and she talked about how the choices I'm making, and she said "making these (better) choices is becoming your new normal".

My new normal.

It's only 3 little words, but words have power, and these words say so much about where I was and where I am today.

Sometimes it really IS all about the scales...

I'm a great proponent of the 'non-scale' victory.

You know the ones, like when your undies begin to fall down, or your pants are too big, or my personal favourite - needing to pull the drivers seat forward another notch, that sort of thing.

Non-scale victories are great for the confidence because you know you've been working out hard, and staying on track with your eating, but the blasted scales just aren't showing the results of all that effort.

How I stay accountable...

When I signed up for the May Round of 12WBT I was determined to do the whole 'food thing' right this time.  So I made a commitment to be accountable for what I chose to put in my mouth - the good, the bad, and the ugly... I was was gonna show you all every single thing I ate!

The result of that commitment has been what amounts to a daily food log via Instagram & personal FB with pictures of my day in food.

100 posts and a movie!

This blog began as a direct result of a 12WBT challenge a couple of years ago, during my very first round, and with this being my 100th post, it seems fitting that it's for a challenge/competition run by 12WBT.

For whom the Belle tolls...

I'm a little bit angry right now.

Most of you have probably heard by now of a young woman named Belle Gibson, who had built a very successful business on a web of lies.

If you haven't heard of her - where have you been hiding?

Why did the chicken refuse to cross the road...?

Because crossing over to Wordpress was just too damn hard and scary!

Even though staying with Blogger has become a right royal pain in said chicken's arse!

Temporary insanity...

#crackofarse looks like this

So in a new 12WBT FB group which has several legendary 12WBTers as members, and who have recently signed up for the February Round after not having done a 12WBT for a while - think Cathy Sheargold and Bella Fountain, fun challenges have been thrown out left, right, and centre.
