March is a good month to

• Wear a new perfume – My Vanilla from the Body Shop just about ran out. SO I bought a new bottle of Vanilla, but also got “Neroli Jasmine” to see how that made me feel.
• Drink on the weekend – as in not drink through
  the week ;)
• Water. AS in I’m going to drink it. Not swim in it, because of algae and cryptospiridum reports left right and centre. I’m not going to water the garden though, Canberra is depressingly dry… except the golf course
• Visit Newcastle. It looks like I’ll be up next weekend for the Canberra long weekend, and at the end of the month for an engagement party
• Work hard, play hard. At the gym and at work. Try to get my 5k down to 30 minutes, get my weight back under 70kg. Get my stats up at work. Get some results with my kids. Implement new communication systems with some of them.
• Smile. Take photos of things that make me smile. Like the little twittering birds I keep seeing. I just don’t like to scare them with my camera.
• Listen to new music. What month’s NOT good for new music? What are you liking right now, and do you think that I’d like it? (my Last.fm profile might help you out)

What are you going to do with the month?

It starts… now

SO, Last year I got an It’s all about me diet and exercise journal, and used it religiously for about 8 weeks, lost a few kilos, then slowly petered out… to the point where over the past few months I’m heavier than my original starting weight…

So, I bought a new one. Started on Friday, properly did my measurements this morning… and am probably glad I did, given the freak out I had over all my clothes being crap and not fitting properly into a size twelve any more and a cute shirt I bought looking horrible on me after I brought it home and tried it on again. Reducing me of course to tears…

So, of course I lean of Rish to whip me into shape … and we start with some goals. With numbers in them. Numbers like 64, 20 and 10. Oh and 5 and 2. And phrases like “I can” and “I will”.

Tonight should probably be the last round of netball… I doubt we’ll make it to the final next week ;) WE barely scraped in at 4th… so I’m planning on picking up a monday circuit class – provided I get to the gym on time. It starts at 530, so I’ll go to it the weeks I make it there, and other weeks I’ll do something on another night – maybe a pump or step class on a Wednesday.

So, yet again, I’m getting back to it, but this time I will have Rish over my shoulder (I got him a jounral too, in black for boys) so we can be at each other :p
