I am doing great, actually.
I stopped buying supermarket sweets, except chocolate. No biscuits, no cakes. If I feel like having cake, I have to make it myself which is great, because I know whats inside it. And once you put The Sugar and The Butter you realize what really stays into this 3rd piece which you are about to enjoy.
And I cook! Boy, I do cook. Contrary to the common believe, cooking is not difficult or time consuming. It takes me 2 hours every Sunday to prepare 4 meals for the comming week. On the 5th day we simply have tapas of the leftovers of the prevoius days or we go to a restaurant.
Cooking is good.

I. Want. To. Visit. Japan.
In 2009!
Preferably – in March.
1 week Tokyo
1 week Kyoto

I realize lately that good presentations are like good CV. You should know the general guidelines, but above all – listen to yourself. Presentation on any topic represents you first. I do think clearly and I can cut through the crap – this is my guiding light on the topic lately.

I located my biggest enemy.
If I have balanced meal I do not crave sweets, but if its not.. uuughghggggggggggggghhhhh!

I took good care of myself, so I became more groomed and healthy. This helped. Then I concentrated to providing results at work and yes, naturally, I got promoted. I do feel good about myself. I have all the good reasons :)

OK, so we chose a spot, we hired an architect. The bank is pretty confident we will get a good morgage.

Actions already taken as well :)
Got the follic acid, got full body check. Looking fwd :)!

.. he is so happy :)

I transfered the money and he ordered the car :)

I eat healthy most of the time – fresh fruit daily, no meat, fish once a week, no junk food. BUT! In the evening, when the dinner is over I overeat with chocolate. Yesterday I had 100 gr just like that!!! Opened the package and it was gone in no time. I must educate myself to cut on sweets

After mom passed away dad had a hard time. I am amazed by his determination to live his life as mom wanted, not to fall into depressions … I know how much he misses her. Though he is still working part time and he has his friends, colleagues and gardening hobby, I believe that dad needs some really thrilling new thing to cheer him up. Dad is still driving his 25 years old Lada, Russian car, which, according to the 21 century standards is not a car anymore. He is not bothered at all, but I am afraid tht this vehicle is not safe enough for him. So, after epic battles in Skoda auto we are on the way to buy a car. Yep, Skoda seller in my hometown is very weird – they do not want you to buy a car. The saleswoman was basically yelling at me for asking for a test drive.
Dad was strongly against the buy at first. He thinks its too much money and he is not comfortable that I and my sister will pay for it. But now, after lots of talking and actually testing the car he is thrilled as a child. I told him that this car can be used by all of us when we go to visit him.

Dramatically easy to make, unbelievable taste! So proud of myself…

YES! I did it! And it was sooo easy and it is much better then the one sold in Starbucks!!! Totally worth it!!! Contact me for the recipe!

I bake muffins every Sunday. They are very easy to make, they r delicious, I make them from scratch, so I know there is not any single artificial ingredient. They fill my house with warm aroma and always attract visitors for a cup of coffee.

I am going on a conference next week, so its a great opportunity to be more open..instead of putting myself in the corner. I shoud remind myself that nobody puts baby in the corner :D!
Also, got a book – How To Work A Room. Hope to get some tips from there…

Got engaged :)!

I forgot about this goal and now I have small tire around my waist. I promise – it will be gone by next weekend, by cutting on my daily cake, my 2nd coffee with sugar and milk and the 100gr chocolate every evening. Sugar is not good. I will limit it.

• Learning to live again
• Mysteries (both from Rita Rogers – very highly recomend everything written by her)

I wish that mom saw my presentation yesterday. My boss rejected my iedas as too bold. But I do not care – my mom would have been proud of me :)
