15 days

first things first - anon, thanks very much for the recipe, i shall try it right after a much needed visit to holland and barrett's when i stock up on things!

mark's single launching gig is on the 25th. if i don't count today and the 25th then it's 15 days away. i blogged earlier that i want to look nice that day. now i have 15 days to get ready. so i've decided i'm going to be super good for 15 days. no sweets, no bad stuff at all. i'll make a chart with numbers going from fifteen down to one and i'll cross one each day. i will do my best. i will go to the gym or do some sort of exercise - i'm not saying how often because i don't want to put myself into that position where i don't live up to my own expectations. but i'll do my best. even if it's just walking.

i think i should set a few ground rules for the 15 day period
*eat only when hungry
*eat a lot of fruit, veg, grains, pulses, nuts and seeds
*limit processed foods
*no treats at all
*drink a lot of water
*do as much exercise as possible

so that's what i'm gonna do. and maybe, just maybe, it will provide me with the kickstart that i so desperately need at the moment.

i'm thinking that perhaps i could make a scrapbook layout for the 15 day plan. it would be a lot more difficult to cheat after hard scrapbooking work!
