* home made BLT (with egg + beetroot for me) on fresh wholemeal bread
Dinner
* hotdogs with ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut, cheese in a hotdog roll :D (we watched the travel channel showing famous hotdog stores in USA - craved them bad - especially after eating nothing for 3 days)
This is only going to be quick, as I'm not well at all. I have been sleeping + running to the bathroom all day (trying not to give too much detail) I also have a massive headache :\ not good at all. I think it must be a virus, as I have not eaten anything that would make me sick. Will advise on my iTC progress over the weekend, a the rate I'm going I don't think I will be doing anything but sleeping tomorrow. Sorry this isn't very positive - I feel like absolute crap!
Unfortunately, I have not been well today. I have only eaten a grated green apple + drunk as much water as I can stomach. Hopefully, I will feel better tomorrow.
going to be on my lonesome all next week - Iain will be in Sydney, it will be be the first time I have been alone for a week in this house exhausted!!! Michael's PT sesh really took it out of me!
full of excitement about iCT + what I will achieve at the end of it
I will... try + make it to the body balance class during lunch tomorrow!

Just a quick note to say I had a personal training session (PT sesh) tonight + I feel fabtabulous! I feel so good now. I had the crappiest day at work, it was crazy busy + was told I should start looking/applying for other positions. Lucky I have been working on some already! I have been drinking soooo much water! I slosh everytime I walk haha! + use the toilet like a pregnant woman (no, I'm not pregnant). Water + Gym = Feeling Awesomeness!! I am going to be soooo sore tomorrow! haha - it's good pain... just got to keep telling myself that. I have done EFT everynight. Have been making my lunch everyday (I am so surprised with myself - usually I would be too lazy to continue it through, but so far so good). I still really need to get cracking on my 'junk' - be rid of some of my old clothes - or just bag them + make cushions/quilt with them someday soon or give them to lifeline. I have noticed my confidence has boosted since last week. I liaise with many people with my job, Minister's, director's, external stakeholders, departmental staff, members of the public all day everyday. I used to be very intimidated by these people, but communication has come to me so easily lately. It feels so good + it doesn't make me look like a shy-mute anymore either :) I have not been working on my portfolio this week, but I should be doing some this weekend. So, so far so good. I am very happy wih my progress thus far + everything will eventually come easily to me. OK I am in desperate need for my beauty sleep, so I am going to leave you my pretties. Until tomorrow! Millie <3
Not much to report, I have had a very busy day preparing for tomorrow's meetings, etc. I have been continuing drinking water, eating healthy + I had a Body Balance session this evening (pilates, yoga + tai chi all in one class) + then meditated earlier tonight :D it's a very nice wind down from my hectic day at work. It'skind of a shame they only have one body balance session in the evening during the week - I guess I could go in my lunch hour on a thursday as well? Might suss it out this week. Oh! I have been making a positive effort in prettying myself up in the mornings! I usually wouldn't have enough time to put on make up or style my hair differently, but I am making time of a morning. I just need to have earlier nights so I don't feel so tired of a morning. Millie <3
I got my computer desk today!!! wheeee! I need to rearrange our room + purchase a computer chair then I shall be set + ready to rock n roll!! I am getting rid of the negativity in my life - clearing the air, clearing my mind, cleansing my soul - with the use of EFT of course + positive actions I am taking. I have been drinking a lot of water which is a little hard to stick to, but it's not so much a chore as the days go by. Ihave been on the 2L water a day challenge for a lil while now. From someone who never drank water (only herbal tea really) to drinking the quantity of water I have been lately is a HUGE effort for me. It feels great. I meditated this morning, but think I will change it to doing it in the evenings as I don't really have the time in the mornings of a work day - I woudl get up earlier but I am already getting up at 5:30am everyday - a girl needs her beauty sleep! On that note, I am off to bed. Apologies for the short note, you'll hear from me tomorrow though! Millie <3
* I don't even know what to call it... I made my wonton mince mix, served it with the wonton soup broth + cooked vermicelli rice noodles in it - was soooo goood! Ate it with chopsticks :D
So, today is the first day of iCT. Hehehe - I am so full of excitement, happiness and am eager as to what tomorrow will bring.
I woke up + smiled, knowing exactly what today meant, the beginning of something fabulous. To be honest today was more about getting my head together, writing in my journal, writing lists of what I need to purchase + writing "day plans" in my diary for this week. I did pretty myself up for it all though :D
One of my challenges is to make my lunch everyday. Yes, it seems simple to you, but it has been really hard for Iain + I. We are constantly saying we will make our lunches, but we never actioned it. So... Iain + I went shopping + we both purchased funky lunch cooler bags. I only just finished packing both our lunches.
The only exercise I have done today is walk Lilly, but it is Sunday + I have planned to go to the gym tomorrow night. We've both eaten really well today too. (mainly as we went grocery shopping last week knowing we're doing iCT). I tell you what, I am REALLY surprised at how supportive Iain is being about iCT. He never used to be like this, but I think he can now see how serious I am about it this year and the positives about the whole challenge. He also has 'goals' he wants to achieve + I completely support him. It makes it a whole lot easier when you have someone there. Even if they aren't participating, they are still there for you, which is the most wonderful feeling.
Last year I didn't have this support, he was rather negative about it, but we were both going through a lot of crap at the time. Since then, I learnt about EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), yes, I learnt it from the wonderful Gala Darling - EFT has changed my life incredibly - and I still have so much more I need/want to work on. Everytime I think of something it goes on my list + when I feel ready to work on it, I do.
If you're interested about EFT, check out Gala's demonstration below.
Well, I'm off to bed now. Have a fabulous day tomorrow!!
Gala Darling's iCiNG Transformation Challenge (iTC) kicks off tomorrow... actually I just realised its 12.24am February 1st! hehe iTC kicks off TODAY!
It has taken me quite a few days to really think about what to challenge myself for iTC. I know this seems like a HUGE list, but I am already doing most of them – I want to make sure I follow through with them everyday.
* Organise my junk – clean house = clear mind;
* Find/connect with my true self + gain confidence;
* Use EFT daily (Emotional Freedom Technique) – I still have a long list of things I want to work on;
* Eliminate the negativeness in my life (thoughts + people);
* Meditate;
* Continue my 2L-of-water-a-day challenge;
* Exercise daily – gym classes 3 times week, yoga/pilates, treadmill/rowing machine + continue personal training sessions every Wednesday;
* Eat healthy, make my work lunches everyday;
* Practice raw food diet – I don’t feel I am completely ready to dramatically alter my diet yet, but it is something I have been wanting to do since last year;
* Continue diet diary - Tea + Toast;
* Apply for at least 2 jobs a week;
* Continue daily entries in my journal;
* Continue working on my photography portfolio to apply for mid-year course;
* Make a marvelous effort of appearance every morning of every day;
* Tell people (friends + family included) about my blog - no-one knows about it.
My intention is to blog my progress everyday, despite whether I fail or not (just part of the process). As Gala said - 'tomorrow is another day'. If I fail I will just pick myself up and keep charging on.
