Quote for Day Two …

Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.

Richard Bach, American Novelist

Dolce Far Niente by John William Godward (Translated "Sweet Nothings")

I’m just getting started with Day Two and hope to make a slightly better job of feasting today.  I think lemon cheesecake is on the list!

I’m feeling so good about the prospect of welcoming back the Karen I used to know.  I don’t have any fanciful notions of having the figure of a teenager or that of my early twenties, but just to feel comfortable, healthy and also wear clothes I want to wear instead of clothes I ‘have to’ wear.

Well, I’m off for breakfast ….. back later!

Quote for Day One …

I thought I’d try and find a quote for each day, so here’s the first one

Lots more to read and motivate ….

I’ve received more emails from Leslie, and it was really exciting to receive something saying “Day One”.  The preparation from Leslie is great, so my printer will be busy today.

I’ve also told a handful of other friends what I’m going to be doing over the next few weeks and they were, without exception, very encouraging.  Whatever the motivation, whether weight loss or simply improving one’s health, the opportunity to correct a flawed metabolism and improve wellbeing in the whole sense is what I’m really looking forward to.

I found this little quote today and it struck me as being very true!  So much of our youth is spent rushing around trying to earn enough to purchase and equip a home and have all the ‘things’ we need.  Often health suffers as a result and then we realise that our joints ache, the midriff is expanding, headaches are the norm etc.  Voltaire was so right!!!!

“In the first half of our lives we sacrifice our health, to earn money, in the second half of our lives we sacrifice our money, to recover the health.”

_{Voltaire (1694 – 1778)
