79 Days To Go

I've been very good the whole week, dealt with my term paper and other unsettled courses at the university, and I've also gone back to counting Weight Watchers points because I almost feel the 100 day challenge has served its purpose in pushing me in the right and healthty direction. I've lost 1 kilo during this week and am now going to move forward one kilo at a time, not getting overwhelmed by the big picture.

I'm feeling very content and even rested to some point now, hopefully all runs smoothly and hopefully I will have another lost kilo to report by the end of next week.

Monday and Tuesday were good, no time to post, I have to present my term paper tomorrow, and I still have the whole statistics part to do. See you!

84 Days To Go

This week has been HELL, but many things have changed, one of them is that I am going to study this year after all, but it means all the more exhaustion. That's alright, fate has decided for me, I'm willing to go with it.
Yesterday was rather good, and at last I found an hour to exercise.
I feel there are some great changes happening in my thinking, and I hope they lead to something good.

Do something every day that you don't want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain. (Mark Twain)

What a great quote! I know what I will do tomorrow that I really don't want to do.
Today's joy - I received a package of yarns for the kids. That's some Turkish yarn, and usually I don't like those, but this time it's going to be OK, I hope, because the boys will grow out of the sweaters soon anyway, and I don't want to use anything too expensive for a piece of clothing that will only last one season. I received some books as well - mostly for the kids, but I ordered Daphne's du Maurier "The Birds". I absolutely love her books but had never read that one. Having translated the Hitchcock movie last week I felt an urge to order the book, it's very small, but I hope will bring me some insight. It's always like that with books - they always come at a time when they can bring some use to the reader.
Another book that I got was Tove Jansson's "Comet in Moominland", one of the very best pieces of literature this planet has to offer. It was one of the great joys of my childhood and I hope my kids will appreciate the beauty of the language and the story.
Today I am thankful to
* my husband who has started the repairs of the house (my "only" contribution is all the money for everything that has to be bought);
* the kindergarten teachers that make me feel like a free human being from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day (oh it is so good to be able to work without distractions!);
* to Tove Jansson for all her Moomin books!

This one is for yesterday, I had no time to blog.


Monday was fine, I stuck to the plan but had no time to post it. Saturday and Sunday were great too, but I missed some parts of the plan so no post for those.

Yes, yes, yes, the children are away at preschool, I have my very loooooooooooong awaited chance to have breakfast in peace and quiet! (I hear sighs of relief all over the country as the kids have started a new school/kindergarten year! Yes, moms and dads, I'm with you!) It's going to be a great day, I'm at peace with all the world.
