Thinking Positive, Thinking Thin ... most of the time

Wow. Day two of Project: Life Changing and I'm still here. It looked shaky for a while last night as I underwent one of those momentary relapses of positive thinking and dissolved into my own self pity for a while. I guess it's allowed but I am much relieved that after an evening with my ever wise brother-in-law I can return to the life changing policy with gusto.

In summary, after a happy day blogging yesterday, I was indulging in my habitual eagerness for Bear to arrive home; only when he did he bought that 'don't care air' with him. That hurt. And so I had to go and spend some time somewhere else with someone else, someone I felt that cared. So I duly tipped my self-pitying guts all over the brother-in-law and then we scooped them up and popped them back in, with a plentiful supply of tea and sympathy. I then walked the dogs (Big Boy and Ginger Cat). Separately, for those of you that know them. (Little Blister's dogs are not what they should be when it comes to going out in polite society). And with the beautiful night sky, some chilled summer air and the joy of watching a happy tail and a happy stump, all seemed much better with the world.

And so I returned to Project: Life Changing. As mentioned in my earlier post, Getting Thinner is the aim. Having just read 'Secret' I am not allowed to call it weight loss as that is too negative, but apparently I can think myself thinner. So I am thinking about two stone thinner.

Getting Thinner - status update
Having just got on the scales (which I am not meant to do according to 'Secret' but will have to occasionally for the purpose of this project) I have weighed in at 14 stone. Now that is 1lb heavier than last weigh in but I'll put that down to a glitch in the thin-thinking that occurred last night when tea and sympathy felt a whole lot better with a turkey escalope, peas, potato waffle and a potato wedges sandwich.

Learning to Drive - status update
Am considering the automatic option as perhaps less nerve-wracking. Getting excited about what car to buy now. Needs to comfortably accommodate self and three Black Labradors as a minimum. Room for passengers and the addition of Big Boy and Ginger Cat would be nice. Suggestions welcome.

Now I hear my Mother has arrived and is playing with the paper shredder so I must sign off and go undertake supervisory duties to ensure the shredder's survival. She will of course insist it wasn't her who left it catatonic last time, but I know better, having experienced her killing off two vacuum cleaners with the ease of an experienced assassin.

Yours in hope and fear, AJ x
