Fizzle fizzle...

Well my New Year resolution has so far got off with a fizzle rather than a bang...all thanks to a rather spectacular bout of the flu....I started feeling unwell on New Years day but it gradually got worse until I spent Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in bed. I am up today (well, on the couch under a blanket, rather than in bed sleeping!), my temperature is a bit more stable, and I'm not in so much pain (I swear somebody had filled my bones with a mixture of lead and firecrackers that exploded whenever I tried to move!), and I hope the chest and head cold symptoms will bugger off pretty soon too.

Cos as soon as they do, I can crack on with getting fit. Here's my new little friend who will help keep an eye on me, my Mii, Tubbs!!
Ain't she purrrdy, if a lil bit more than lardy round the middle?! ;)

Which reminds me of one of the pages I created with the December Sarah's Cards kit. I decided to use a photo that I like of a time when I had achieved success before as a source for motivation and inspiration for my new quest - I think I'd lost just over three stone at this point and felt really good. I also have some right humdingers of me at my absolute heaviest too- but it's all about positive mental attitude and moving forward isn't it?! Plus....if I scrapped those I'd have to share them with you lol, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone ;)
 
Mr T has been a little angel looking after me this week bless him....I am lucky to have him you know :) Here's a page I made documenting "our story" with the same kit:
He turned 30 last week too, proper ole boy he is now! If he wasn't so good to me I'd have to consider trading him in for a younger model ;)
Catch you all soon xxx

Loving your pages, that paper range is gorgeous isn't it. That photo of you is lovely.
Not long til March, I am so excited about the weekend!

Take it easy and see you in March
