The scales are travelling down again!

Well thank heavens, the scales are on the down slide AGAIN! It's a great day! I must apologise for my lack of posting lately as I have been busy trying to get my cookbook written, which I have been doing for the past two years, yes that's right two looooooooooong years! So what has been the hold up? Well it's like this, I go through fits of being focused and onto it and then the drive fizzles out, story of my life really, and this has to stop!

Recently I purchased a book by Tim Ferriss called "The 4 Hour Work Week" and it's brilliant! I am absolutely loving it especially because I am at the part that totally makes sense to me, it's all about 'information overload'. I am so guilty of exposing myself to loads and loads of information on a daily basis all from a 15 inch rectangle plugged into the wall and sucking in info from around the globe, if it's not that, it's my overly priced iPhone or even worse, both running at the same time!

So my task this week is to try and ignore it all, just simply, switch off. I know, I know, but how, how am I going to do this? I don't have a tv any more so all my entertainment and information sources are via my laptop or phone. I will be cut off from the world, ignorant as to what's going on out there. His theory is that, as soon as you talk to someone, they will tell you everything you need to know and skip out all the crap in between, I guess this makes sense when you think about it. Am I going to do this? I don't know, maybe I will try one day a week and then two days and go from there. He says that when you do this not only do you have enough time in the day to be more productive on your projects, but you also have enough time to spend with your loved ones, quite logical really, and let's face it, a lot of us have our laptops on when the kids are home so that we can check what's happening on Facebook every now and then right? If you say no, you're lying! How do I know, because most people I know, do it.

So for the rest of the week, I will no longer have Facebook running in the background while I am trying to write my blogs and cookbook, I will log in once in the morning and once in the evening and that's it, this is going to be extremely hard, but hey, I need to do it! So expect more posts from me :)

As for the scales, I am back down to 238 pounds, woot!
