Started to skip morning and night – about 300 total now – knees groaning along with the huffing and puffing – quite disgusting really to be so unfit and fat! Days still great – nights really difficult. Anyway I am still in there – I am going to email Mandi to change my accountability measures – at the moment the long term accountability is too easy to break. To really move into a healthier way of living I will need to be on notice daily and not allowed to weasle out because I don’t send in my food and exercise diary. Exercise is always OK – I just enjoy every moment and always have done. Food, drink – another story!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the push – I know that you are always in for the long haul and do not give up on us. Next week I hope to have a more positive response. Annie

Yep – 2 weeks and I am just off “start mode”. I haven’t lost or gained any weight and I am drinking way less. I bought the skipping rope yesterday as I could not find my trusty old leather one – could not find one in a sports’ store in Box Hill yesterday!!
I am not really sure how to get off “start Mode”. It is almost like a slef punishment or devaluing of self. It’s a feeling that I haven’t experienced before as I could easily tick your 20 items for the success pie this week. This is so odd as even working with Mandi is not kick starting me as I had hoped. Anyway I am not giving up and will “start” again today. It is great to read that others also have trouble getting into the “start” mode and the drink at night after a torrid day is not just my problem. Thanks Craig. Annie

I believe that there are a few elements required to achieve success and potential that are not on the list – health (psycho social and physical) and, associated with those are energy. The list is fantastic – a couple of fundamentals could influence outcomes for those feeling “unwell”. I am now of the opinion that when someone feels “unwell” that needs to be addressed and the easy physical conditions need to be ruled out as potential influences for lack of potential achievement; next the mental conditions. When a healthy balance is achieved the pie as you have built it Craig makes fantastic sense. I am just looking at the very vulnerable youth with whom I am working – I check out the basics alongside to building the success pie. Sometimes the pie needs basics such as sufficient intellect, physical health and mental wellness. I am using this success pie theory with my adolescents – thanks Craig. You know that I am always looking for ways to motivate and encourage them. When we build our own pie ingredients for adolescents I will share with the group. Annie
