This is in sort what I have accomplice in May I start with some loving movements and it sort of going into a flat line, I think it is because of the flu. With face my finance it start to mad up a list of all the expenses that was on my bank statement but there is still a lot of cash withdraws that I can't explain. <br /><br />For June is flylady's habit drink water the people that know about this thing said you must drink at least 2 liters of water. I am not sure how many gallons is it. My water filter will be installed this afternoon so then I can start to drink my water. <br /><br />We just move into our home and I want to get everything in place at the end of June. With the unpacking I throw a lot of stuff away. I don't know why I have to move all this things every time and put it in a cupboard and forget about it. It is things that I don't like but my mother in law give it for me. Tell me what can I do?

I will see a dietrisien to help me with that Thursday. The main idea for doing that is to plan a menu for a year.

This time of the year remember me of my dad's pass away. He died Christmas morning in 2005. I always said for the kids Christmas will never be the same so there was no Christmas tree or music in my house. I start giving Sunday school this year and must learn the kids about Christmas and the biggest gift we ever received Jesus. I suddenly realized that I can't talk about life forever if I still mourn my fathers death. I made the decision to made Christmas my personal testimonial day.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CPginVa6cUs/TPsvjoVnNAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/azQnjGYp4aM/s1600/05122010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CPginVa6cUs/TPsvjoVnNAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/azQnjGYp4aM/s320/05122010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547079655206892546" /></a>Hettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792916050932283622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006056586053603755.post-74330953361134959102010-11-28T06:19:00.003+02:002010-11-28T06:35:28.769+02:00Last week of NovemberNovember I didn't write regular, last week we have a power failure and that lead that we don't have any signal for our internet connections. The cellphone companies still didn't hear about sun power for there towers. May be that will change in the future, because a town about 250 km from us will get there own solar farm and I am so proud of my sister's dh he start the planning for it. I just hope and pray that they will receive the money for all his hard work. <br />This last 2 weeks was not so good but I will not complaining about it. It was my own fault. What will I do to change my way of thinking: I will get in bed with dh and will get out of bed 30 min before him to get myself ready for the day. The other way round does not work, because he don't want to get in bed late and I don't want to get out of bed very early. It sounds childes but I need to do that the keep my head clear. <br />The funny thing about it is that I have more energy and can do more things.<br />Habits that I have establish in November is mountwashmore (the laundry) I done it every day and it is really under control. <br />Ok I cann't think properly know because I have a call out, will come back later today.Hettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792916050932283622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006056586053603755.post-40937086534456551122010-11-14T06:43:00.003+02:002010-11-14T06:59:14.411+02:00November week 2This is the second week of November. Sorry I didn't write anything last week. Last week I was just feel sorry for myself and I didn't do anything positive to my habits.<br />Ok no more sorry ass, from now on I will be positive. I have injured my ankle during a walk and i have to take things slow. The next week my NEWO will be a walk on the exercise machine this is less stress full on my ankle.<br />My bbr is slowly getting in place the swich and swipe thing seems the thing that I always keep for last and then it doesn't happen any advice will be helpful so that I can do it every day.<br />I start with my whb and detail cleaning I plan to divide my house in the different zones and do a zone on a day. Example Eds flat is zone 1 and that is Mondays, Yds and dh office is zone 2 and that is Tuesdays, the launch, guest room, main bathroom, my room, is zone 4 and that is Thursdays, the kitchen is zone 5 and that is Fridays. Will come back next week and tell you how it go. I have try it this week the first 2 zones worked perfect but then I get lazy and feel sorry for myself, but that will stop from today. <br />I will get of my ass and start doing things around and in the house.

I will used Flylady's face control journal for that. But the most important thing for me with this habit is to control our spendings. We spend so much money on things that we don't need. I just want to get October's habits to settle in. Mainly the BBR that is set out my clothes for tomorrow, polish my shoes, swish and swipe the bathrooms and the kitchen, packed lunch boxes for me and dh. The other thing is the WHB that need attention.<br />See you all again on Sunday.Hettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792916050932283622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006056586053603755.post-39671038255599974762010-11-01T04:13:00.006+02:002010-11-01T04:34:42.174+02:00October week 5Yes I know I was suppose to write it yesterday, and that is what I do now. Over all was October not so good as September but there is some routines that get settle in. With the NEWO it is going good. With the body clutter it going slowly but steady this week I lost only 200g but that is a lost. It will be betterHettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792916050932283622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006056586053603755.post-12235341162074987452010-10-24T06:51:00.003+02:002010-10-24T07:01:37.596+02:00Week 4 OctoberThis week was a good week for me I lost 1.2 kg and weight now 85.8kg that was a long time ago that I weight that. I wish I know what the biggest loser do that they can lost between 3 and 8 kg in a week. The NEWO getting better every day and I start loving it.<br />Ok I drop the visualizing thing totally for this month. I will do it next month hopefully. <br />There is a lot of other routines I get hold of. My laundry is been done every day, I wash in the after noon and hang it outside at night the next morning I fold it up and iron it. It is so fast that way.<br />The Swiss and Swipe thing is getting under control for the bathrooms as well as for the kitchen. I am so proud of myself.<br />Just want to get the kids and dh to start getting some routines of them self. There is a lot of things that need to be done outside the house. I will get there. I just must remember myself every day Rome is not build in 1 day so all the things that need to been done on a weekly basis and daily basis will been done at a time.<br />Thank you so much for all your support and love, without it I will not be so far.Hettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792916050932283622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006056586053603755.post-89271124622869172122010-10-17T11:21:00.002+02:002010-10-17T11:29:31.300+02:00Week 3 OctoberThis week was not so good for my new routines. But I am on my way to learning them I think I just need to give me more time for this month routines. <br />I didn't lose anything this week but my clothes show me another story so I start not to believe in a scale any more.<br />This week was great in the scenes that dh was phoned by a mining company and that he must represent his cv to them. They also asked for mine, but my post will be a contract for a year and I am currently afraid for that. So I made a decision to start with the occupational health course and then I can applied for a permanent post. So wish me good luck for this course. Will keep you update what is happening.Hettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792916050932283622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006056586053603755.post-3011517670469760772010-10-10T06:52:00.002+02:002010-10-10T07:04:22.877+02:00Week 2 OctoberI am at the end of week 2 in my second month of new habits. I am so sorry to tell you but with the visualizing it didn't went well. There is now excuses for that I just didn't made time for it during the day. But with my NEWO (no excuse workout) that went well. If I didn't do a workout I did do some yard loving with a fork really deep working and I love it. I through away 2kg/4pounds of body clutter but I feel good. The clothes that I bought at the end of September start to getting to big and that I want.<br /><br />With my BBR it went well just slip 2 times to put my clothes out for tomorrow but that is ok.<br /><br />Thank you ladies for all your support on my journey.<br /><br />Just want to tell you my house is been detailed clean except for the windows but that I shall do before Christmas.<br /><br />My holiday is now over and I start to work again from next week.

I new habits I really want to take care of this month is my body clutter. The biggest loser idea didn't work this week. But I did some lovely movements during the day. I decide to take part in Jon Gabriel method as well he believe strongly in visualizing. He believe that you can create the body you desire with your mind. I start believe in him, because I did it this week and some how I start to drink more water and I didn't grave for sweet stuff. Yes I still grave for something but when I start looking in the house I stop and asked myself if I am hungry or not and then my graving stop. I do this visualizing 2 times a day early in the morning and just before I go to bed.<br />The other habit is my before bed routine this is mainly to shower before bed time get my clothes ready for tomorrow.<br />With September habits it is still going good I even put something new to shine my sink and that is to swipe my kitchen floor every night. Yes it sounds strange for some people but there is a lot of sand around the house and I have a parrot in the kitchen, so it is quite a mess when I skip to do it for a few days.<br />Thank you for all your support on my journey.Hettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792916050932283622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006056586053603755.post-79731369540343761892010-09-28T06:51:00.002+02:002010-09-28T07:04:25.931+02:00New HabitOk today is the start of a couple of new habits but the main gaol of it is to get rid of all my body clutter. I bought some new clothes last week and I get a big surprise my clothes size has increase with 2 sizes. That is bad really bad. So I made the joke to book me in in the biggest loser house for 2 weeks because I am on holiday the next 2 weeks. I will start exercising and make a note of everything I eat during this 2 weeks and hopefully I have lost about 7kg/ 15,43 pounds. Will keep you update on how things is going.Hettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792916050932283622noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006056586053603755.post-3330603847603370342010-09-27T20:17:00.003+02:002010-09-28T07:17:12.132+02:00Week 4Ok week 4 is history and it went well. I can really say every thing went good even on the day I worked late. That day lights was off at 22h00 not as normal it would be 23h00 lunch boxes was packed every nigh before bed. Thank you so much for all your support and love without you i couldn't do it. <br />The new routines help me to get the courage to plan on the new routines for next month. Thank you so much.<br />When I was this weekend at my moms house I realize that I must go on with my routines even if I am on holiday. The first night my mom and the boys cleaned the kitchen so I believe that it will be properly but the thing I forget is that the boys don't really fly and my mom she is my mom. The next morning when i wake up I saw the kitchen and I realized that I have to do the last dishes so that the kitchen is shining the next morning. I did it every night and it feel great to do it.<br />May bee one day my mom and sister will start flying. But know they don't believe in it.Hettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792916050932283622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006056586053603755.post-11021708768752148212010-09-19T07:16:00.003+02:002010-09-19T07:29:30.369+02:00Third weekIt is the end of my first week. During the week I have this strange feeling of yes I know how to do the things I must do so yes I can do something extra, that is were the problem begin. I start running late and said for myself it can wait, no Flylady learn me that my sink must shine every night so yes my sink shine every night before I went to bed. That lead to me get later in bed as what I want and made me feel grumpy the ext morning. At Thursday it stop and I am back in my normal sleeping time.<br />This all lead to not concentrating on my prayers but that changed also. I am back on schedule.<br />Thank you for all your support during this journey. Did any one of you feel the same? After 3 weeks you start loosing interest, but you know you must go on and just do the things that need to be done.<br />See you all next week. Have a wonderful week and God bless you all.Hettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792916050932283622noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006056586053603755.post-7071420884495303172010-09-12T07:50:00.003+02:002010-09-12T07:54:52.176+02:00Thank youThank you girls for the encouragement during my journey.

Was sitting around and it strike me that there is no ironed clothes for the kids for school so the laundry need some attention. That run a bit late but the rest of the week I was a good girl.<br />With the 5 elements it going better every time I prayed. I start thinking this baby steps kicking in know.<br />My kitchen is cleaned and I am a happy girl in the morning.<br />Yds (youngest dear son) asked last week for me to help him in the morning with some exercises for improving his memory so that is also a new habit and an unplanned one but I will do that for him. He is so clever that little one.<br /><br />Ok girls and boys you see this week went one very well.<br /><br />Yes and something very good happen this week with us. My dh (dear husband) get a job that paid good. So we start running in our budget and I love it.

Yes I know it is only 4 days that I am in this habit blog but yes I did it for days. It was the best 4 days every night before bed my kitchen is cleaned, and it feel wonderful.

It is more natural and it doesn't feel so forced.<br />Bedtime in the week i am in bed at 21h00 but the weekend is something else.

Thanx girls because of you following me it makes me feel like I want to do it, and that feel good.<br />With the 5 elements it is difficult because I feel not so comfortable to do it in front of dh. Don't asked me why because I can't answered it. We believe in the same things, it is just one of those things. I have decided to do it in the morning till I am more relaxed with that.<br />Bed time is going well, last night was a late night. There was a do at the school and we get home at 21h00. But will not let me down I will keep on trying.<br />Thanks again for all your support.Hettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792916050932283622noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006056586053603755.post-31916388887857791122010-09-01T13:58:00.004+02:002010-09-01T14:04:42.987+02:00First dayOk today is the first day of my restart. Yes I know it is strange for me to be on the internet at 14h00 in the week but the theater is closed for the week. There is some construction troubles that need attention. <br /><br />For September I want to concurred the following habits: Shine my sink; pray the 5 elements and get in bed at a descent hour. What is a descent hour, it is different for every one. I need 7 hours sleep a night and it took me 30min to get asleep. I wakeup at 4h30 in the morning to get ready for work. If I count everything in it is lights out for me at 21h00. That is my descent hour.<br /><br />Will come back to you on Sunday to give report back of the weeks results.Hettiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792916050932283622noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006056586053603755.post-85743382701505956482010-08-29T07:19:00.006+02:002010-08-29T17:53:39.283+02:00RestartI don't know how long it will go but I need a sound board to just tell somebody what I did. Yes I know there isn't a lot of people that will read it but at least there is something that hold me accountable.<br />The goal of this blog is to keep track of the new habits that I learn. There is a lot but I only want to start with 24. The reason for that is that Flylady and Jon Gabriel told me that to learn a new habit and establish it take 30 days, so it is 1 month.<br />I will take 1 old habit and reestablish it and 1 total new habit to learn it. <br />I don't know if it will be possible for me to come back here every day, but I will give report back every Sunday morning.<br />The old habits is as follow, this is the habits flylady try to learn me but I am to stubborn to learn it.<br />1.
