DG had a great post just a short while back about how much motivation we have when we are doing a ‘Week One’. I have just completed a Week One and I am literally bouncing around with energy and joy that I lost weight in, what I thought, was a far reflection of the work I put in. So now all I need to do is keep a tight reign and make sure I keep the focus on as I know that Week Two is usually bounce-back week. I am pretty good at week twos. At the beginning of the week. When I think I can do anything and achieve everything and work my tail off, then fall down harder than a Springbok faced with an All Black front line (sorry Linda LOL) when it comes to the end of the week and the scales haven’t shifted or *gasp* they have bounced back up a little.
I have a feeling this week will be different. I accept that it is normal for Week Two to have a bounceback. But I am not going to help it bounce by screwing up everything I worked for last week. I will continue to focus, laugh, play, eat, make mistakes, learn from said mistakes, and just keep going - knowing that if I do so, it will all straighten up again in Week Three.
That being said, I am about to line up the bike in front of the TV so I can watch the Biggest Loser and be a loser at the same time ;D
Dad Update
My Dad is amazing. He is doing so well and healing faster than he, or the Dr’s expected. He is back to eating real food - only small meals, but meals all the same. He is walking and doing some sitting up and generally feels really good. He will stay in the hospital for the full period of time to ensure that it is all doing what it should but so far so good

Linda is on the hunt for your bras. No - not because she has run out of her own but for a great charitable event. If you have any bra you no longer need please visit her blog for the details on what to do next.
There were heaps of other things I had read lately (yes I have been keeping across you all via Bloglines) but now I can’t remember any of them. I shall pop by again for a reminder..
