ITS NOT ABOUT THE SCALE, BUT...

I bought a new scale online, which was delivered with my groceries today. After completing a 59min trampoline session (the first half wearing ankle weights), I weighed myself and found I'd lost 2kgs! Wow. I'm really chuffed because I've been careful this holiday season, avoiding everything in the biscuit, cake, pudding line – even on Christmas day.

What's interesting is how PMS can make you feel headache-y and heavy, off-colour and generally not like your usual self; and you aren't actually any bigger than before. 

Anyhow, this has set me on a new and positive track. I'm aim to lose 3kgs over the next 3 months (very doable, I think); and then the last 2.5 over April and May. This means, by June (the start of winter in the southern hemisphere), I should be at *goal weight*.

When things quieten off, time with the golden oldie will be sought,  once  again. I think a big part of a recent panicky episode I experienced, was due to feeling (romantically) alone after an operation, and previously when running a race (where I had requested supp

DEFINE: "RISK"

... a situation involving exposure to danger , harm, or loss. I was editor of the RISK AFRICA print magazine, app and events supplements from December 2017 until May 2018, following the capable editorship of Sven Hugo.  Content written, curated and commissioned was aimed at the insurance market, particularly brokers, in an attempt to assist them with the reasons their clients should be insuring things – cars, art works, lives, estates and so on. During this time, we faced one of the most severe droughts in living history within the Western Cape province of South Africa, and hosted an event for Insurance and Tourism at the River Club, Cape Town, in order for these two economic sectors to effectively collaborate.
