APRIL'S BLOG
HAPPY NEW YEAR
I hope this year is 2010 times better than last year for you.
Well Christmas has been and gone. All the EXCUSES for not doing what you need to do whether it be to lose weight, find true love or do something you have always fancied (but haven't because you've been too lazy or too scared), can now be dismissed.
January is the perfect time to harness that new year energy and ride it for as long you can until you fall off.
I started my usual New Years Day ritual with a pad full of resolutions and a very sore head. I promised myself I would lose weight, exercise daily, pay bills on time, pay bills I hadn't paid, go to bikram, do mother help, take the kids somewhere they've never been before, marry a prince and finally but by no means least, do one thing that defines me. . . Which begs the question .. who am I?
Well clearly, that can't be answered in one blog but its safe to say 2010 is my year of self-discovery
My first stop was to cleanse. To get rid of everything that no longer served my highest good (person, practise or object), so I started at the bottom with good old nasty toxins. The Lemon Detox wasn't easy, it meant no eating out, no going out, basically no social life. But hardest of all, it meant torturous days in the edit suite watching glorious, mouthwatering, sugar loaded food on our brand new baking show, Nestle New Zealand's Hottest Home Baker, on air at the beginning of February.
My saving grace during this period, was my editor, Justin. As luck had it, he was detoxing too, swallowing fistfuls of fruit for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Between us, we moaned and whinged the entire week in the edit suite about how tough it was but at the end of our 10 day stint, the smiles and sense of satisfaction were unmistakeable.
My physical regime continues while the internal drama is trying to unfold, however my next stop is the financial farm.
Good luck with your New Years resolutions. If you don't have any then try this one .. Do one thing this year that defines you!
Love,
April
