Being grateful

August 31, 2011

Today I’ve been thinking a lot about my negativity. Anyone who’s read ANY of my blog posts would know that I’m prone to be hard on myself; and quite cynical and pessimistic in general.

August 30, 2011

The latest pre-season (preparatory) task for my weight loss program is all about commitment. Making one and keeping it – to ourselves and others on the program as well as friends and family.

As this is my second round of the 12 Week Body Transformation (12WBT) program I haven’t been as diligent as I should have been in completing my pre-season tasks. But… given that I’ve struggled a bit recently I decided I should try to catch up.  As I’ve said before, the program is an online one offered [...]
