Ms Motivator

My motivational thoughts:

1. Getting back from that early morning run tomorrow
2. Weighing myself once a week and seeing the weight drop off!
3. Posting said weight loss on blog
4. Getting into my black leather pencil skirt for the first time in over four years

What I will not be eating in March...

Hey fatty boom boom

The regime starts tomorrow - doesn't it always? But this time there will be no cheating, I hope. March 1, and for a whole month I am trying to do what I should really be doing all year round.

Motivational thoughts: it's not that hard and the results are worth it!

Got to go to bed now as I have to get up early to go to the gym. I must start March as I mean to go on!
