Dirt & Motivation

This week has been horrible to put it mildly. Although it has made me realise just how fantastic some of my co-workers are. Thankfully it's now Friday afternoon and I've got two days to forget everything that's happened and I'll start fresh on Monday morning.

The landscaping has been happening at home while we've been at work this week. So far they've removed 44 cubic metres of dirt from our yard. It's amazing how quickly it adds up and the difference it makes. I'm absolutely thrilled with the new house and even more so the alfresco area, especially now I can see the outdoor spaces all taking shape.

I'm loving the motivation that being in the new place has given me. We've made the decision not to go back to the IVF for a year or two until we've enjoyed our new home a little and I've been able to shift some of the weight I've put on over the last few years of treatment. I think this decision has taken a lot of the pressure off and made me feel even more settled. I'm fairly sure writing my 30 before 30 list may have added to that motivation too. I've started growing my hair (AND my hairdresser has promised not to cut it all off no matter how much I argue with her), I'm back to the Lite 'n' Easy breakfasts and lunches so I'm getting the right about of fruit and vegies each day and so I don't have to worry about making lunches at night. Aside from all that, the biggest piece of motivation was my decision to start the Cool Running "Couch-to-5k" running plan. Hopefully I'll have a friend start with me so we can motivate each other *hint hint*.

Anyway.....I'm off to act on my latest motivation, a glass of wine. The running plan will have to wait until next week, hopefully by then I will have worked out how to focus the motivation in the right direction :)
