Then you'll have a second home in the U.K., and live in your ideal neighborhood with your soul mate, whom you met while promoting your book. And because of the success of your book, you'll be given an <I>honorary degree</I> from Oxford. With your financial independence, you'll be able to focus on speed and the increased intensity will bring you to your ideal weight. Better write that damned book! :-)<BR/><BR/>Have you read <I>The Secret</I>? I think you may find it inspiring.Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489181738411546254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-59660164327759831912009-01-18T02:12:00.000-05:002009-01-18T02:12:00.000-05:00If you had to pick one, which would it be?If you had to pick one, which would it be?LBTEPAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17630217889998453714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-91449854968440604132009-01-17T11:40:00.000-05:002009-01-17T11:40:00.000-05:00Really really inspiring stuff..

I've been heading down a similar road recently turning to various self-help etc. figures despite the fact that I generally scorn the whole thing. <BR/><BR/>When you're stuck you've got to take a helping hand - the opposite of you! As for coming to the UK - let me know how you go with that! If you want to test the water you're always welcome to stay and see. <BR/><BR/>And re the weight? I'm back on Weightwatchers - I managed to lose 20kgs on it years ago and it changed my life. There's been a bit of slippage but overall I would highly recommend it. It works. <BR/><BR/>Keep it up and keep blogging about it - and well done for putting it all out there..Petrarunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223283092182797048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-75215689440123251202009-01-16T14:44:00.000-05:002009-01-16T14:44:00.000-05:00I think number 8 will happen.I think number 8 will happen.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302710072433158197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-38691630082629089572009-01-16T01:49:00.000-05:002009-01-16T01:49:00.000-05:00Wow, that sounds interesting, keep us posted.

You know you can make 5 happen. It's boring and not easy but totally doable and synergistic with 8 which is also very do-able. I'm running about a 9:30 now so I have faith. I also would love to write a book but that probably takes more guts than any of the others.<BR/><BR/>So go for it! Can't wait to see what your coach has you do with this list.21stCenturyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02370504811536749950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-11273792057283671512009-01-15T18:32:00.000-05:002009-01-15T18:32:00.000-05:00Sounds kind of interesting ..curious about the poi...Sounds kind of interesting ..curious about the point of that list...seems pretty aggressive for one year!

These types of big goals do not happen overnight, and they still haven't happened, but we are getting closer and they will happen soon. I think the key is identifying goals, coming up with a plan to achieve them and then putting it into action. Very similar to training for a big race, actually, but on a much longer time scale. <BR/><BR/>YOU CAN DO IT!!!ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-46651153468329804622009-01-15T13:00:00.000-05:002009-01-15T13:00:00.000-05:00Oooo...
