Always expect the unexpected

I had a shock this morning when I found out that someone I know had died of cancer. We weren't close friends, but we chatted on Facebook. We'd become friends years ago when we were both part of a twitter conversation about older music fans. Even though we weren't close it's still a shock when someone your own age is no longer here.
It got me thinking about how we never know what's going to happen. We can make all the plans in the world but there's never 100% guarantee that those plans will be carried out. We always need to be prepared for something else to happen. And not always in a bad way. Sometimes it's something awesome that happens instead of what we were expecting.
So we should always be hopeful (remind me to come back and read this when I'm feeling like nothing good ever happens).
I have a tendency to be pessimistic, and sometimes that's with good reason. But it's not much fun going through life always expecting the worst to happen, so without further ado ....
Every day( if I remember-if I don't, feel free to kick me...not too hard though because I'm a sensitive flower and it'll hurt), I'm going to write down 3 things I'm thankful for. And they're not going to be the obvious ones like my children etc. I'm going to choose tiny little things that may mean absolutely nothing to anyone else. 

So today's list...
1.My CD that arrived this morning with a free gift of 3 Korean tea bags :)
 2.Coffee! I am always thankful for coffee!!
3.My ears. ( can't listen to music without them)

I'd like to share this poster with you from the charity I'm supporting
I wonder what these children are thankful for...probably not frivolous things like CD's and music. 

Speaking of music, I said I'd share my 'get out of bed right now or else ' songs, so here they are

B.A.P-Bang x2 ( my children request this one on the way to school)

I actually have more but i've been told that 3 is a good number :)

I've taken 1,476 steps today so far which may sound like a small number. But there are days when I don't even do 100 because it hurts too much, so I'm happy with that number. 
See you tomorrow :)

Ready, set, go!!

The dreaded starting stats and photos. I'm really nervous about posting these, simply because I have so much weight to lose. I'm going to be doing a meal replacement diet called Exante. I've actually done it before and lost 46 KG but i gained it all back when I was pregnant. There will be no more babies for me, so this time I want to lose it and keep it off! So, I'll stop procrastinating and ....(takes a deep breath) Start weight 150.3KG Height 1.69m Ideal weight 65KG And because I want to post progress pics, I have to start with the horrible pics at the beginning of this journey. Dreadful aren't they? To make it better here's a photo of the man who has inspired me to do this :)  (photo not mine, credit to owner)

Weigh in day. The moment of truth

Well it's not as much as I'd hoped for but it's a loss, so that's good :) Don't my ankles look horrendous in this photo? It's been a mixed kind of week. Good bits and bad bits. But I've managed to stick to my diet which makes me happy, because I'm an emotional/comfort eater. I'm generally quite a negative person when it comes to dieting, especially because it's going to take a long time to lose all my weight, but I read a quote recently that said this : And this is so true. The time will pass anyway, so I might as well just get on with things, not wait and moan and complain that it will take too long.  I'm going to share some songs with you that make me smile and feel happy every time I listen to them :) B.A.P-Baby   https://youtu.be/p4d2FgmhHrY ASTRO-Hide and Seek https://youtu.be/jT1zdCZnEww Super Junior-Swing   https://youtu.be/B5m3l65Lp0I Tomorrow I'll share my 'get me out of bed when I don't want to ...
