133 days to my three year downsizing goal date and I have had a very busy day.  It’s only three days since I felt I was getting over the bout of food poisoning I had last week and I’ve been working hard at the active jobs, trying to catch up on lost time.  This will sure rev my metabolism up.  They say being active all day, does more for fat burning than 30 minutes of gym.  I hope that’s so because what with moving furniture to clean out everywhere that pesky field mice went, in our home, while we were away and gardening today, planting out my vegetable garden, I have not felt the need to attend gym, I’ve been giving myself a huge nonstop work out in the home and garden and gym on top of this would have been overload.

Yesterday I completed a total clean, rearrange of furniture and room purpose, renovation of the smallest room in the house.  I took the small office that extended off the kitchen and turned it into a wardrobe dressing room plus sewing ironing room with storage and I increased the light by fixing five mirror tiles to the wardrobe doors and one larger mirror to hide a storage area and positioned it to reflect light from the small side window. I have high cupboards that can become grand children, picture gallery wall. I’m delighted with the result; it’s a great, practical use of a tiny area.

If I can keep working at this pace, I doubt that I will need best weight loss supplement, but I think I’m petering out tonight and it’s going to be hard to find the energy to achieve today’s goal of a clean tidy, fully restocked kitchen and a dining area set up where I previously had the ironing and sewing.  I did make the delicious dinner goal with Reg’s help.  I can always depend on Reg to cook a great lamb roast with all the trimmings. J  I already have the leftovers carved and packed away with vegetables in the freezer, marked as two lamb and vegetable lunches for two.  Mr Nobody doesn’t come into my kitchen late at night any more to snack on the left over roast and surprise ,surprise, I no longer gain weight.

I’m not a housekeeper’s bootlace, LOL, but when I get enthused about something, I want to complete it.  If I ‘play a mind game’ and break the kitchen, dining room which is one long room, into a kitchen and a dining room, (two separate identities), in my mind, I can tackle the easier end, tonight then go to bed feeling very pleased that I am right on target, and have 2 rooms done and 5 to go, plus of course the outside deck.  I should have the home and garden clean, re set and functional and ready to live in, before the end of the month.

    _Happy New year :-)
    I am going to combine several seemingly contradicting eating and exercise programs and put together my own Artslim Naturally slimming and Gray-Nomad fitness program.  I plan to bring these out as a low cost EBook and small paperback. They will suit anyone interested in managing weight with son=me difficult health conditions such as metabolic syndrome and past injuries.

     I'll be showing you some of the books I am reading that have some excellent qualities, although they will not be exactly what I am putting together to suit me and my style of doing things.
    I will be focusing on eating and exercising for wellness, weight loss if obese, weight management and balanced fulfilling lifestyle..
