Grin and Bear It

Today is an Accelerator day on the 12wbt programme.  Accelerator days make me narky.  It doesn't really make sense as more than likely, I would have eaten the same way anyway....it's just a psychological thing, I guess.  When I feel that someone is telling me I can't do something, then that becomes the very thing I most want to do.  In my head I rationalise that I am choosing to do this, it is optional, there is no big stick poised to whack my fingers as they hungrily clutch a rice cake, but still, I am narky.

Excellent picture book for the smalls, just by the way!

I think that is probably a sign that my head issues are still not entirely ironed out.  Something to work towards as we finish Rd 3 and I commit to Rd 4.  I still treat food as some sort of reward as opposed to a fuel.  I will JFDI and stick to the programme but consider yourself warned, I am narky!

Of Mice and Men

After a bit of a dodgy training week last week, today was my day to head back to B and train like a mad woman.  The universe had other plans, it seems!  Flat tyre on the car and a very slow turnaround time from RACQ = no group training.  Crisis averted, I can do the 12WBT outdoor programme with the Littlest Buttons later today.  I took the time to play on the blog and make myself feel a bit more at home, check out my nutrition plan and get a bit organised in the kitchen.  Sweet and Sour Pork tonight!  Yummy.  Whatever balls I may juggle in life, I juggle them better when I have the house squared away.  Are you like that?  I have soaked the kitchen sink with bleach, shined it up a treat, mopped the floor and spot cleaned the cupboards and I can tell it is going to be a grand day.

If you visit Button Central, you'll know if I'm having a grand day.  There will be flowers in vases and candles alight.  It's one of the ways I treat myself.  How do you reward yourself?

A Very Good Place to Start

I've decided to dust off my blogging shoes as part of my 12wbt journey! So, AHOY OUT THERE. Now I'm going to need a few posts to find my way about the place and remind myself how to put in links and what not so bear with me.  This weekend marked the 3rd year anniversary of Mr Button's kidney transplant - an event which always prompts me to want to write.  It's a choose life kind of thing and I think that sits nicely in the 12wbt philosophy.  This has been my first round of  12wbt and it has been a wonderful journey.  Three quarters of the way through and I want to be a woman of my word and finish this round wonderfully well. I can't wait to find out who will come along with me for the ride.
