Went out dancing with the some of the Christchurch Challengers as our out of comfort zone challenge for the week and had fun!  What i really noticed though was how well the girls who turned up have done with their weight loss and health improvement. Loved meeting Emily and getting to know her more.It was great to see Alison. Di and Jo as well. Also to have a quick catch up with Tracy , fingers crossed her lumpectomy went well and they got it all.Cindy came over from the coast and stayed the night so it was cool to have her at dancing too. I am lucky to have such a wonderful cousin and we have been friends for a long time now. Its a pity she doesnt live close as we both have similiar likes in terms of exercise and motivate each other. She is alloking slim slim slim.

Hey all

so here I am , a whole month has almost gone by and my first post for along time

I got an email this morning on Oprah and her views or her companies views on when a book makes it to the big screen. I just want to get my book to make it to paper from my head! I sat last week and went through the structure of it. It’s a huge task and I don’t personally like the word task and usually use challenge so that means I am struggling with it. I have to change my mindset and see it as a challenge, something to achieve rather than a task and something that is to be done. Maybe need to practise what I preach - just suck it up and get it done!

so then the next part of Oprah email says ‘The Oprah.com Great  Nest Egg Giveaway” and seeing we just got through Easter..I think of chocolate then realise blondly she is referring to money, so I click on it and get taken to an american website that wants to get your details so a financial Planner type company can market to you. Nothing wrong with this but most financial planners I have met don’t even make the money or follow the principals themselves and earn less than the person they are advising.

Don’t get me wrong again- you don’t have to be well off to advise people but you do need to follow the practises. What scares me about most people is they are operating in a negative financial state and don’t even realise it. I will put up an exercise on my www.shesucceeds.com  site for people who want to do the exercise to see where they are at financially.

I am helping two people at the moment sort out their finances. Week 4 for one of them and week 1 for the other. I might ask them to blog and people can follow their story if they wish. Let  you know next week.

I am not perfect and I am certainly not qualified to teach people about money but I do know some sound principles that none of us are taught in school

Hi everyone

its been so long since I posted! un believable how fast life is going

I have been busy helping Damian with the Tour and then the retreat and of course work and all that comes with that. My Gran has also been really sick and had a major operation 10 days ago of which she has had complication after complication. So unfair to put her through all that and then today to see her fading away from us. There is nothing medically that will be causing her to go except that she weighs next to nothing and has no energy and hasnt had any real nutrition for days. She didnt want to be feed and one dumb arse doctor agreed so today i was battling for her to be feed. Finally got it sorted and she is on a food drip, should see an improvement in the next 24 to 72 hours. I was not going to watch my gran starve to death no matter how old she was…!!

Okay now on a personal side ,, i have been so busy looking after everyone else so I have put myself on the back burner which is excatly what I tell the challengers not to do so to lead by example I am back on track in the morning including back on track with food and exercise. Have planned out my meals for the week and seeing it will be mainly up at the hospital i will be pre paring them in the morning. Will see if i can talk Garry into going and getting the stuff I need while I walk to Sunmer and Back. that means I would have got both things out of the way in the same time frame.

I read all the challengers blogs today and they were very inspiring and amazing,It is so hard not to write on everyones blogs but i have to resist as with all the emails I do to reply to everyones each day would take up so many hours, I have over 50 challengers to look after and reading their blogs takes a lot of time let alone all the other stuff so if you are a 112 day challenger and reading this…I think you guys are fantastic and anyone on the challenge who doesnt blog and comment is mad! its such a cool thing to do,lets you dump each night as i have done and also get inspired at the same time

I am going to have a great week!

go hard everyone!

I am going to start putting Judys Journey up on my www.SheSucceeds.com site soon as well so will let you know so you can follow Judys story as well

I am also helping someone get their finances sorted with my 10 steps to Financial Freedom Plan for the year that I follow so If she is willing to share you can follow her story as well.

Im back blogging and i cant believe its been that long!

I am off in ten minutes to head up for the walk. I did not go for a walk last night and in fact have to say I had a few too many drinks with Becky From www.sizeXchange.com who came into town for meetings and stayed the night. Was great to have a few laughs and let my hair down! I figured Im doing 74 km over the next four days so I am sure I will burn it off! Will take some pictures and pop them up on here .

I am busy helping behind the scenes for the next tour for Damian Kristof and now Lee-Anne Wann is joining the tour. I have my work cut out for me over the next four weeks! One of them I am off walking the Queen Charlotte Track so I will have to just learn to relax and take a chill pill. I can’t take my laptop so It is going to be very good for me to have a complete break from work. Jayde my P.A has been away for a month, it’s gone fast and I am looking forward to having her back tomorrow. I have had a great day with eating but no exercise and being up late tonight with such a full day tomorrow is not a good idea. Lack of Sleep does not girls and guys support a healthy weight loss! I have a house Guest coming to stay tomorrow so I told her to bring her walking shoes. Night All
