"Success is a personal definition, it's about how you feel." -Lissa Coffey
I read this quote yesterday and I thought it followed on very well from Day Five's quote and my comments.
I used to struggle with the word success and what it meant. People often asked me "How is your business going, how many clients do you have now?" and I would answer them and then ask myself "I wonder what they think? How many clients would it take for them to judge me as succcessful?" Eventually I realised that it didn't really matter how many clients I had and that people were probably not judging me, just asking out of interest, curiosity or just for converstation but what did matter was how I felt about how busy I was. Afterall, I would hardly feel successful if I had so many clients that I couldn't cope! So, my answer now is "I have as many clients as I can manage at the moment" or "I have some clients at the moment and I could manage a few more " and I know that as I say this I feel confident and happy with where I am ...and if I feel confident and happy, then I feel successful!
So what's got to happen for you to feel successful on this Programme? Is it really all about a number on the scales being a measure of your success or can you measure your success on how you are feeling? If you are feeling happy because you are feeling a little bit fitter or stronger, or you feel you have more energy, or a more positive outlook, or feeling proud of some of the choices you have made, or more empowered and confident perhaps, can you say today that you feel successful?
Looking forward to hearing about your successes!!

Good morning everyone! 0800 and already hard at work - how about after the night before!!!! Thanks for a great workout yesterday lunchtime Sue with Jayne. My evening was great...but and you can hear a but can't you....my diary is as follows:
Morning: Seeds, grapefruit, porridge,
snack half Nakd bar
lunch: Scotch broth (homemade-work), bowl of fresh fruit
dinner: fish chowder, sea bass and noodles,.......here is my naughty but creme brulee! Why did i order that? I am still asking myself. Firstly there were no other better choices but i guess i could have ASKED for fruit??? By why didn't i decline pud? These are the questions i must answer myself, i realise that. BUT...the worst of all is that i felt SO full and SO bloated and uncomfortable afterwards. I have learnt my lesson! See you tomorrow Sue and Jayne xx
Morning Mara...
Well, I guess you knew this wasn't going to be easy for you as you so love your puds but do they love you?
You made your choices yesterday and you stuck to the programme beautifully and had lots of success right up to the last minute and then you chose to come off it for whatever reason,(this doesn't mean you have failed, you just made a different choice. Now the questions is, can you come back on it again, and be persistent..your passion may not be there just yet but if you can be persistent and continue on from where you were yesterday afternoon, you can continue being successful today! x x
P.S everybody-Watch out for noodles..rice noodles ok but egg noodles contain wheat.
Morning everyone! I'm sorry to say this but Jayne when I read your post from yesterday about the dead weight get ups (or whatever they're called) I did chuckle to myself!!!! I was exactly the same when I did them for the first time, I thought I was going to be sick! They're not nice are they, but it was funny reading so thank you for that! I will say I did them 2 weeks ago (not out of choice, Sue kindly added them into our session) and Hey....I was so much better, I actually didnt have to turn on my side, go to my knees and grunt up!!! It just goes to show it can be done eventually! Mind you I'm not saying I'm as good as Sue but I'm getting there!! :)
Hellloooo everyone. I have just sat down at 8pm! Phew.... I don't work Fridays so decided I would join an art group in Winchester as a nice balance for my work, so that is where I am on Friday mornings. I really enjoy it, I am a complete beginner and so just trying things out. I had to go to a meeting after my class, then I walked with my woofs all around Winchester behind the cathedral. It was the most beautiful day with brilliant blue skies. I recommend it, all the buildings are amazing. It was a real treat after my busy week. I then did the shopping, stocking up for next week. I wanted to get it out the way as I am going to call my daughterfor a chat in the morning before my training session.
I am looking forward to tomorrows session. Not sure who's going. Hope to see you all there. I have taken on board not measuring myself against anyone else because I know I do already feel better with more energy and much more positive.
Food choices today
porridge with soya milk prunes and seeds
2 oatcakes
smoked mackerel sugar snaps carrot sticks cue sticks 2 rice cakes pear
handful of almond and seeds 3 dried apricots
4 Thai bites veg balti curry and rice

Oh Pear
yes your comments made me laugh. I had a vision!!! The one of myself- well! When I told my friend what we had to do, she said, what get up without rolling over and getting on your knees???
What I didn't like was the vision of feeling/looking like an old lady as that is not how I see myself, so that has increased my determination to get stronger. No rolling around for me!!
Mara
I hope your choices don't set you back and you have managed to getback on track today. Go girl!!!
See you tomorrow. X
Yummy food choices Jayne and lots of veggies and natural foods so well done! And how lovely to spend your free time with some creativity..having seen your last painting on facebook, I can't believe you consider yourself a beginner -it was amazing! Looking forward to seeing you and Mara, and hopefully Apple tomorrow..unfortunately Pear can not make it as she has to take it easy this week. x
