Well everything is groovin' along pretty well.

I have been feeling pretty energetic and doing a reasonable amount of exercise and mostly being pretty good food wise.

I've had a few pretty stressful moments with our business. The good thing about this is that I haven't comfort eaten once!!!!

So you could say that I am pretty happy with that.

I have a new bird so the animals are all keeping me busy and occupied with thoughts other than food.

This is the latest addition.

Virtual Me, LOL

I had to try this, and it is a bit too real...


The now and the new, I hope this is reasonably close to reality.

Hi again, I have been deliberating whether or not to tell.
I have had a real struggle with eating my emotions in the past. As soon as I had anything go wrong or even just not my way, I used this as an excuse to eat, anything, anything that I wanted. Yesterday we had a bit of a hiccup with our business and it has put us in a place that we need to do a lot more running around and will cause a lot more emotional upheavel.
I am very pleased to be able to say, that I did not run to the fridge for the chocolate, or down the road for a chiko roll or some other revolting fatty takeaway. I went inside, prayed, read my bible and cooked myself a healthy dinner.
This is a huge difference, formerly I would be almost happy to have the justification to indulge. But not this new girl I have living in my skin.
I am quite pleased with myself, and a bit proud too.

Here are some picture of my babies,

Kruger , Lola and Charly (in that order)

Hi everyone, this is my first entry.
I thought this would be a good way to keep track of things.
I used to have an old blog but can't seem to access it,
this is the link if you'd like to have a look.

Rather than bother with doing all that again, you can have a sticky beak and I will just continue on.
