2011 - a year of changes?

Well maybe. The first big change is that I have lost almost 12kg since joining Weight Watchers. Now while that sounds impressive, I still have about as much again to lose. But that's ok, I'm happily working on the pro-points plan, walking and cycling as much as I can and I know I can do this.

Another change I've made is cutting back on the amount of time I spend on some websites. It is too easy for me to lose chunks of my day reading while sitting on my bum. This is time I could better spend exercising, with my friends, or of course scrapbooking! So when Trademe blocked my usage because my account has been overdrawn for over 21 days I decided I didn't need it anyway. That is one of the biggest time sucks I have, and should the need to buy/sell arise I can always get Craig to log in and use his account. This will also make me more accountable for the $ I spend on there I am guessing!!

This year I also want to keep on top of current photos for scrapbooking. I have realised that trying to catch up my kids younger years is going to be a struggle but I can make their current and future years work in my favour. To that end I've started the year by working my way through the main events of Dec/Jan.

I printed off all the kids 2010 photos that I wanted to scrap and so at least 2010 will be finished for each of them. Might just work backwards from there. Great goals Nic and computer time is definitely where I waste a lot of time as well.

Good to see you upadating and scrapping. I have almost completed all of our 2010 photos now. I find I have more photos towards the end of the year, so spend the earlier part of the year doing som catch up scrapping.

LOL - way to put a positive spin on being blocked by TM! The computer is a great time-waster though. Good work on getting skinny girl!
