Do you think there's a convention on?

Well guys, I'm getting the feeling that there is a big out of town convention being held at the moment - and the audience you ask? I think it's being held especially for that special part of our psyche called 'motivation'. It seems to me that there's an awful lot of us in Blogland who can't find our motivation at the moment and I reckon it's because they've all left town to go to the Motivation Convention. Now while this makes life incredibly difficult for us right now, we need to focus on the positives from this situation. When the convention is over, all our motivations are going to return with a vengeance filled with new vim, vigour, ideas and staying power. Now won't that be good!

But far out, I bloody wish this convention would finish soon!!!

So yes people I'm struggling too. I haven't fallen off the rails but I'm just hanging by my fingernails - and it's bloody lucky I wear false ones or I'd never be able to stay on. I haven't had a really bad week - in fact the weekdays were pretty good food, water and alcohol wise but a fair few drinkies on the weekend, constant munchies too and whilst I didn't go wild with the biscuit tin, bread bin or cake box, I just ate my way through a heap of fruit - but it was still all extra points. So it's Monday again and I'm back up on the rails and just trying to take it a day at a time. What's disheartening for me is that if I don't stay virtually 100 per cent on track then not only do I not lose, I actually start to fluctuate upwards some days. And as for exercise - well I just can't seem to get going. I'm going to try and push myself to do something this week as I know that once I get going I feel great and it becomes self perpetuating.

And now since everyone says they like to see photos on posts (and I'm no exception) but couldn't think of anything exciting to take a photo of and I was at work with limited resources - so here's the best I could come up with.

Me in my office wearing my "Miss Moneypenny' glasses. Bit of story here - when I bought these glasses (just magnifiers) I referred to them as my Miss Moneypenny glasses as I thought I looked like the famous Miss Moneypenny of the James Bond movies. Now as some of you may know the actress who played Miss M died recently and when I checked out some of the old pics on google - guess what she didn't even wear glasses. But for me the name stays with these glasses! And yes my hair looks flat and boring but get a root perm next week (could say something cheeky and naughty here but will restrain myself)

And this is a view of my office - note that I'm a bit of a plant lover and my walls are adorned with pictures of places we've been on holiday. I tell people that these pics remind me of why I'm here - so I can go there!!! Also note the water jug and glass - such a little angel aren't I?

Ok sweet ones, nothing else exciting to report so I'm off to walk with Zanna - isn't that a clever girl? Have a good week and if anyone sees signs of that convention ending please let me know and I'll lay out the red carpet and hang up a sign to welcome my motivation back!!!

Love
Z xx
