Body Blitz Day 2, Week 2

Todays date is 11-1-11

I sit here and realise how trivial writing this blog is in comparrison to the devastation that the Queensland flood victims are facing.  Some people have lost their lives, loved ones, homes and all possessions and its not over yet as flood waters are expected to rise over night.  My heart is heavy and I cry as I watch the footage on the news and feel incredibly helpless.  I am sending an abundance of love to all those affected by this random act of Mother Nature and pray that everyone stays safe.

Note:  I did something really naughty today and weighed myself and on one hand I am really glad I did because the result was 'better than awesome - a loss of 1.9kg' but on the other hand, if Monday mornings result is less than what todays was I'm gonna be peeved AND I always find weekends really difficult.   Oh well my bad, I will just make sure I change my mindset between now and Monday and work extra hard to stay strong this weekend because 'I CAN DO IT' (said in the voice from the guy in Waterboy ofcourse LOL).
