Drum roll please…..

Let me introduce my new novel!

Song for a Healthy Mind by Practical Gill.

It’s one woman’s journey from feeling suicidal towards feeling sane.

It’s about some of the help she’s gotten along the way, and some of the causes of the feelings.

I sincerely hope that you like it!

Gill.

Although fat people can be beautiful…

gjef2871

Although fat people can be beautiful too, I’ve gotta admit I’m super excited to have lost weight.

A dress I had that was previously tight on me now has around 20cm (8 inches) of space at the sides.

My Doctor’s scale reads 7-9kg (about 14-18 pounds) less than the last scale I stepped on.

This morning my undies nearly fell off me, and I walked over to my husband to show him and he said

“Look you’ve got a new handbag!!” Meaning the space in the undies between my tummy and my hips.

I’ve also gained muscle. I can lift my 4kg (8 pound) weights much more easily.

I have more endurance, more stamina, and more flexibility. I’m more aware of my body in space.

It feels good.

On-wards to 72kg!

I’m so grateful for the help I’ve had.

Grey Shades and Honesty

“When the straight talk is rooted in support and love, with specific statements of things to improve, rather than coming from a place of trying to hurt my feelings or trying to demonstrate their intelligence, I hear it better and it gives me something to actively work on.”

This amazing blog came to my attention recently. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Review: Atomic Habits by James Clear

gjef2871
Love London Real because of the depth of the conversation and the interesting questions that he asks.

I love to listen to inspirational youtube videos. The ones I like aren’t the ones that promise to make you the ‘world’s greatest’ or give you unattainable or grandiose, hyperbolic dreams of success.

The ones I like are the videos that contain processes that can lead you step by step to success through doing small regular actions.

I like to watch people who use words like productive, practice, regular, continual, growing, meaningful, contributory, valued, asset, creative, progress.

I like videos that talk about the aggregation of small gains.

That’s exactly what James Clear talks about.

Small daily habits that can literally change your life, and how to go about making them and putting them into place.

Love this guy for the science he puts into his work. Warning: lots of advertisements.

My husband and I decided to get into a really good savings habit.

One of the things we saved for was our wedding. We got married during COVID lockdowns, so we never had a party.

We saved $50 per week for several years, and we ended up with our party.

The aggregation of small gains meant that we had enough in our ‘party’ bank account to pay for gifts for our guests, as well as a wonderful lunch with trays of food for everyone to take home.

We are so blessed to have people like James Clear on our radar teaching us how to do well.

We’ve reduced our spending on the ‘party’ account now that the wedding is over to $50 per fortnight.

Now we’re saving $50 per fortnight for an amazing new flute for me (as well as all the other stuff like investments, property, etc).

Thanks for reading my blog! I love putting money into future good!
