Romeo and Juliet was very good. I definiely recommend going to see it when the Bell shakespeare company tour, if you like that type of thing. Although we tried to go for a glass of wine somewhere afterwards and there just doesn’t seem to be anywhere classy in Brisbane city anymore. Well not anywhere that you feel comfortable when you are all dressed up in pretty clothes! It seems you have to go to the valley for class now!

Had a relativly relaxing weekend. Didn’t do much except read and put things up for sale on ebay. I have decided (like Hilary) to give myself a ‘task’ list for each day. I find that I get totally overwhelmed with everthing that there is to do each day. With my work; it is very self directed and I have about 4 projects on the go and I tend to get caught up in the one that I like the most – so if I achieve small things each day it will all add up eventually.

Same with the house tidying/cleaning. I get so overwhelmed because it is such a big job that I never want to do it. So I am going to give myself one small tidying job each day. I found a website last night that said you can make porridge in advance and freeze it. So I made some porridge last night on the stove top and froze two portions. I’ll give it a go in the morning and see how it defrosts. I guess I could even get it out the night before and put it in the fridge to defrost.

I also found a chicken loaf recipe that looks pretty good so I think I will give that one a try. Protein portions are all in the freezer then.

I am also really looking forward to my spinbike session this afternoon with my new playlist. I was listening to it last night and I was so revved up I wished I had a spin bike at home! One of the reasons why the eating plan is difficult for me is becasue I find that I don’t feel as though I have anything to look forward to. But in reality its only the way I think about it.
Today I am really looking forward to my afternoon yoghurt. It’s not at all boring – and it is something sweet! Whats not to look forward to!

I was thinking last night (along with watching TV and reading at the same time) that whenever I eat things that I know are bad for me (Binge/self-sabotage) I never think that what I am putting into my mouth might have a bad effect on my desired body shape or overall wellbeing. I’m one of those people who think – that wont happen to me! Then I paralleled it to smoking. I thought – hang on! I treat people everyday who are sick – and I bet they thought the very same thing. “That type of thing happens to other people”. I wouldn’t smoke becasue I know it is bad for me – so why do I eat things that I know are bad for me? Thats my philosophy for today! Andjxx
