Good day dear Blog

This is very cold here in South Africa but the sun made its turn back to us so soon we will see the day light a bit early every day. My house start looking like a house and not a dump area. This is the one thing I have accomplish in June. It is realy to cold to drink water now but I promise I will start drinking rooibos tea.
When I figure out how to place pictures on my block I will do it. The other day I was looking at a program $100 make over. I plan to do that in my house this is the company house so I can't paint or made big changes without the company approvements.

Hallo dear blog

Sorry I didn't come in to visit you but I got this terrible flu and I am sure that you don't want it. 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.

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.

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?

22 May 2011

Dear blog with my loving movement goes everything well. I walk for about 35min a day and it feel really good. It didn't feel if the body clutter is falling with the movement but I believe that one day it will start falling.

With face it is going slow it feel like I can't trace all my expenses the moment i think i have it all writ en done there is something else. Hopefully i can give it to you next Sunday.

We will move in our home the 1 June 2011 and I can't wait for it any longer.

I will talk to you next week, same time.

15 May 2011

Last week I over slept so I didn't wright to you, but today I made tiem to come sit down and wright a little bit. Habits for May is loving movement: yes that is going very well I walk every day for about 35 - 25 min with a friend and if see cann't make it I walk with my dh. It feel so good to do that. Then when I came back I can handle the kids and there tantrums better.

The other habit for May is face, I didn't do much about it but we are +- R234 000 in debt diveded it with 7 and you get the estimate amount in dollar. Our saleries is R33 000 in a month. Will give you later the full list of expences any advice will be helpfull.

1 May 2011

Today is the first of May, Flylady's habit for May is moving so that will be 1 of the habits the other habit is to face my finance. Currently it is a disaster my dh think that there is money ds's believe that they have the right to a lot of money. I don't think this is the most important habit that I must learn the important one is to take a deep breath and ignore teenagers and all there moods in life.

I did walk with my dh for almost 15min I am not sure how long it was. Didn't do any face today will do it tomorrow.

Will be back next Sunday and tell you about the week.

Hello

Hello dear Blog
Sorry for my absense for so long. I wasn't feeling so good for the last few months, but I feel better now. I will start my journey with my new habits the first of May 2011.
In the mean while what happen to me? I was depressed, start at a new job, moved to a small house, ds18 is in grade 12 and very difficult. All and all I wright a kind of an exam from the first of January till now and it didn't stop, but I believe if I am calm it will go over and things will get better.

Habits for December

Ok the only habit for December is menu planning. 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. That will help me with my groceries planning and my budget.
Will keep you up date with the menu planning.

December Habits

Can you believe it, it is December the year is at a end and Christmas music is playing in the shops and every where. 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.

Last week of November

November 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.
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.
The funny thing about it is that I have more energy and can do more things.
Habits that I have establish in November is mountwashmore (the laundry) I done it every day and it is really under control.
Ok I cann't think properly know because I have a call out, will come back later today.

November week 2

This 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.
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.
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.
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.
I will get of my ass and start doing things around and in the house. Because I love my family and I love myself.

November Habits

For November I want to learn the following habits, FACE. 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.
See you all again on Sunday.

October week 5

Yes 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 better

Week 4 October

This 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.
Ok I drop the visualizing thing totally for this month. I will do it next month hopefully.
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.
The Swiss and Swipe thing is getting under control for the bathrooms as well as for the kitchen. I am so proud of myself.
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.
Thank you so much for all your support and love, without it I will not be so far.

Week 3 October

This 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.
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.
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.

Week 2 October

I 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.

With my BBR it went well just slip 2 times to put my clothes out for tomorrow but that is ok.

Thank you ladies for all your support on my journey.

Just want to tell you my house is been detailed clean except for the windows but that I shall do before Christmas.

My holiday is now over and I start to work again from next week. See you all next Sunday.

October

This is my second month in my way to new habits. 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.
The other habit is my before bed routine this is mainly to shower before bed time get my clothes ready for tomorrow.
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.
Thank you for all your support on my journey.

New Habit

Ok 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.

Week 4

Ok 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.
The new routines help me to get the courage to plan on the new routines for next month. Thank you so much.
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.
May bee one day my mom and sister will start flying. But know they don't believe in it.

Third week

It 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.
This all lead to not concentrating on my prayers but that changed also. I am back on schedule.
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.
See you all next week. Have a wonderful week and God bless you all.

Thank you

Thank you girls for the encouragement during my journey. If it wasn't for you I don't think i could do it. You made me feel responsible for what I planned. When I start this blog my life changed. Sometimes before this blog it did feel that my life is a lie but now I know that it is not because you all hold me accountable. Thank you so much for all your love and support.
