The emancipation of... me

So without trying to get all philosophical on everyone, who has read "Looking for Alibrandi" by Melina Marchetta?

I have & I love it. read it for the 1st time when I was about 13 & something in it has just stuck with me ever since.
For those of you who haven't, It is about a young woman named Josephine who is 17 years old & in her last year of high school. It is a book about her emancipation. Her freedom. Finding herself. Understanding her relationships both with friends & family etc. Learning where she fits in the world re ethnicities/cultures & of course the dramas of being a 17 year old.

Where does this fit in with my post?

I feel like I am rediscovering myself. I have been a half hearted WW follower at best over the last couple of months. Some weeks I loose, some I gain & some I STS. I have slowly lost some weight but it hasn't really been through trying... unless you call 3-4 days in a spurt trying before I loose focus again.

I found an old WW magazine today & realised that I hadn't read some of the articles in it when I used to sit & read cover to cover trying to reap as much information as I could.

So here's my plan for the next week.
I will track everything I eat, not starting from tomorrow but starting from now.
I will complete 30 min of exercise per day (I have season 2 of True Blood now so quite possibly will be watching this whilst I exercise bike away)
I will drink 2 litres of fluid per day. This will be made up of herbal teas, water, skim milk & maybe even juice. It will not be made up of soft drink. Even "diet" doesn't do me any favours so I will kick it to the curb for the week.

Sounds easy in theory but I know it won't be in reality. However as Josephine learns, not everything is easy. Life has complications, trials, potholes, roadworks etc etc....

Nothing ventured, nothing gained & although i'm not wanting to gain any more, I don't want to stay the same either.

Feel free to leave any tips or advice in the comments section, I do read them & am grateful for every one I recieve. You are helping me stay accountable!
