Fan Mail



Look what I received in the post yesterday morning. It is a beautiful golden mug with my sonnet 'Mal Content' written on it. Anon sent it to me. Thank you Anon. *hugs*. Now, for the rest of my loyal readers out there (and not so loyal - you can listen too). I don't expect you to send me gifts, but feel free to surprise me! (hint hint).

Thanks once again Anon. It made my day. :)

Have a good weekend everyone.

DIY Downsize: Week Two



I had a very busy week this week and unfortunately both my downsizing and my record of downsizing suffered. I did climb a lot of stairs though and I have begun to notice my clothes getting looser, especially around my waist, which is a good thing. A bit disappointing there is still no change in my weight, but the inches are continuing to come off and my body fat percentage to come down.

I'm going to a writer's retreat this week and it will be interesting to see how my downsizing gets on.

Anyway, here is my week in a rather boring video. Enjoy.

DIY Downsize: Week One


Here is my week in three minutes. Enjoy!


My first week of the DIY Downsize Me Challege didn't go as well as I had hoped but didn't go too badly either, so here is to week two!


On a side note, thank you to everyone who took the time to leave such excellent comments on my post yesterday. I really appreciate it. It has given me a lot of food for thought.


Have a good weekend!


Inky's note: I'm sorry that this post is so late. I spent the whole of Saturday trying to upload the video and failing. Better late than never! :)

Vblogging has arrived!




There is a television programme in New Zealand called Downsize Me. Each week an expert in nutrition and one in fitness help a different person slim down and shape up over an eight week period. I have decided to do my own DIY downsize me challenge over the next eight weeks and vblog about my progress here every Saturday. My goal is to lose 8kg, but more importantly to get back into regular exercise and a healthy eating pattern. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I started today with a 45 min walk on the beach with Janna (and a video of Blackrock beach to prove I was there). It was a hard 45 minutes - I really have got very out of shape - but I feel better for having done it.
