My Weight Loss Progress

My own worst enemy

Ive come to the realisation that I am my worst enemy...
I almost find it impossible to help myself. I stick to something short term and as soon as I start making progress I sabotage my efforts. I dont know why. Even this blog, I got off to such a great start, blogging every day or two. And as soon as I started getting somewhere, I find an excuse to be too busy to be on here.
How can I expect others to help me or stick by me, if I cant help myself.
Its giving me something to think about anyway. The problem is, how do I fix it? I want to lose weight, and I want to be happy - but what do I need to do to get there?
Tomorrow im getting my hair done. I have decided to look after myself tomorrow. Hairdressers, skin treatment etc. Kickstart my efforts again. And hopefully you will hear from me tomorrow!! :)

My friend dilemma...


Time is absolutely flying right now!! I cant believe its already the middle of the year!! Its already been over a week since I went out to the reef, and man was that awesome!! We spent the day at the Frankland islands and snorkelled, walked around the island, went on a river cruise... it was so so good!! I have put a pic with this post showing the Islands from the sky, they are just amazing!!
Other than that, ive worked 10 days straight now and im exhausted!!! I work tomorrow then I get a weekend off. Not sure what the plan is for the weekend yet but I am thinking of either camping, or going to townsville to see family, either way it will be nice and relaxing.
Im getting into a much better sleeping and eating pattern now im settled into my new job, and I think thats had a big impact on my moods.
Having a bit of a friend dilemma at the moment though. Not sure how to handle it. My best friend in Cairns who I lived with last year has been seeing a guy for about 4 months. They live together, but since they have been with each other she has dropped all of her other friends and only sees us if he is away (Hes in defence). I didnt worry about it at first, as its a new relationship and I know what thats like, but its now been 4 months and I havent seen her for about 6 weeks. Before they were together I would see her almost daily. He went away yesterday on a work trip, and almost straight away she was calling me wanting to catch up! Me and my other friends are not too happy about the whole thing and feel like we are her reserve friends to entertain her when hes away. But im not sure how to approach her about it. Anyone been in a similar situation? Its not a nice feeling... :(
Hope you are all well.

A day in the life...

So today at work I was told that tomorrow I was going to have to spend the day out on the reef with one of the tour companies I book guests through. It is an agents day to make us familiar with the tours that we offer. I get to use all the facilities, dive, snorkel... the works. The trip normally costs around $300 and I get it free!! I was so excited, and it got me thinking...
Imagine what it would be like to be a presenter on getaway, and all day every day be like that. Or someone famous jetting around the world doing interviews and taking photos... lol. Or even to work for a charity, making a difference every day in peoples lives.
If you could spend a day of your life in someone elses shoes, what would you want to do? There is so many options out there!!
Im not sure myself, but its given me something to think about.
So while im off to dream up my ideal day... ill leave you with this quote:
'Some people dream of success, while others wake up and create it'.
