14th February.2013
That is exactly 1001 days from today. Cute!
Now obviously I have got this thing about 1001 actions, so it was no big step to go to 1001 days next.
WoW, what could I do/have achieved in 1001 days?? Apart from making and giving G his Valentine's present of course :)
So I wanted to work out what the date would be 1001 days from today. 'Shiver my timbers' it is Valentines Day 2013. Complete coincidence but way cool because it is a memorable date.
and I should have a list to go with it I guess.......... and that is scary because I have not done any long term goal setting for some time. After the mind blowing success of the last one (about 14 years ago, setting a 10 year goal which I smashed and am still living the dream) I am worried that nothing can match what I have achieved already. But here goes the start of a 101 things to do list:
1. Transform our garden into a feature
2. I have earned £ 500.000
3. I volunteer 300 hours
4. I spend a night in the dessert again
5. I do something special for my 50th birthday
6. I can do some impressive yoga moves (will want a video as evidence)
7. I hold a casual french conversation on holiday
8. I play the piano beautifully to entertain (not bore) our party guests
9. We grow more of our own veg every year
10. I am grateful for every one of the 1001 days
11. I got low carb and hit and reduce body fat to 19%
12. I have my a photo shoot AND enjoy it
13. We have brilliant fun at the rubber ball or similar
14. I let my hair down *code* ;)
15. I have an exhibition with my sardine cans (commenting on current affairs of course)
16. I read 300 books (May '10: The Secret Garden, Living Primal,)
17. I write an business/personal development article every day for a whole year (May '10: 31 yeah)
18. I paint 150 canvases (May '10: 4)
19. Publish one book
20. Write five free e-courses
21. Straighten my teeth
22. Have been member of two design teams
23. Be a published artist
24. Have an open fireplace somewhere
25. Sold 500 handmade 'diaries' (using the term loosely)
26. Teleseminar leader course has sold in 20 languages
27. Trained the puppies to be sniffer dogs
ermmm... .. there will be more

Day 354 + 15 steps Perfectionsists unite!
I have changed my life this year when I stopped trying to take big huge steps.
My inner perfectionist just did not like it and she sometimes even managed to make me do nothing at all instead of getting my stuff done. She is a scary woman, very thorough and relentless.
Since I decided to take small steps - I started with my work - she seems no longer to mind and is even cheering me on. I have become quite prolific in my output, to levels I have never experienced before.
And I am loving it. There is no more internal dialogue, no wanting to dust the ornaments instead of working. I wake up and can not wait to get going, any obstacle is simply that, an obstacle. It is not longer the big scary monster that pops up and spoils the party and I get scared and give up.
Obstacles do no longer hold power over me, sometimes I know immediatly what to do to get round one, sometimes it takes a while. But round them I go!
I have started recording these little steps towards my health goal once before and it was ok, but somehow I never believed that I could go ALL the way. Now that I have learned so much about how I seem to tick, I am restarting and going for it.
At the moment I can not, or maybe dare not, speak out my short term WoWgoal . I know my long term WoW goal ist being FFF (fit, fun and flexible) at 86. And my current project is to get my thyroid under control and some weight loss. But I just can not say what my goal for the end of the year is, because I am not sure how to get there exactly. A case of premature practicalty!
Will get round it, I am sure

Day 356 + 2 steps
Had to be part of a photo shoot on Monday. It was not THAT bad. When the (fat) photographer asked me at one point to pull in my belly I could even see the hilarity in the situation
What did he think I was doing there whilst hardly breathing? Pulling in ones belly is obviously top priority! Duuuh
Anyway today begins another journey of 1001 steps which should take me about 356 days.
I have been diagnosed with Grave's Disease which is an autimune disease and I am trying to avoid having my thyroid removed. I like my thyroid, we have been together for a long time. It is not her fault that the disease creates anti-bodies which attack her. Being a sensitive kind of soul, her and her mate the pituitary gland go bananas and the results are not pleasant.
I am, with medication, nearly stable again but not fit to run a marathon quite yet - actually had to cancel our 100km challenge in under 30 hours. That was pretty difficult!
Now I am adding some herbal remedies, strength exercises, 10.000 steps a day and a low carb diet.
