Had lunch today with a lovely bunch of women, and a couple of brave blokes ;-), it was great to meet up with everyone! Many thanks to my darling man for amusing the kids while I sat and chatted.

Here I am! 😀 The size 22 pants I’m wearing (down from size 26 when I started WW) were skin tight around the bum not all that long ago, now there’s discernable bagginess and no doubt there will shortly be a need for a belt! Continue reading Milestone pics

Yep, all is going according to plan! Tuesday and Wednesday were spot on for points and on Wednesday I embarked on a mighty struggle with myself to actually get up off my bum and exercise. I got dressed in my walking clothes before taking the kids to school with the intention of coming home and walking straight away…3 hours later I was finally on the treadmill 😛 It was a tough battle but I WON! 🙂 I then surprised myself later in the day by doing about 40 minutes of the Weight Watchers Exercise Success DVD and a second walking … Continue reading So far so good

No more 2:00am bedtimes 😛 That last one comes about because last month I joined Flylady and I really like the idea of focusing on one new habit a month. April’s new habit was making the bed, May’s is to move for 15 minutes a day. Well, I think I’ve already got that one well in hand so I decided to pick another one to work on and … Continue reading Mini Goals for the Merry Month of May

Let’s see, what have I been up to lately…. Oh yes! Shindiging with the Browncoats of course 😀 Saturday was lunch at the Lowenbrau, here’s a pic of the meal hubby and I did NOT order! (I had the salmon :P)After lunch we wandered around the markets at the Rocks for a while then I drove hubby and the kids home to a chorus of snores from Adam and Tom and constant bickering from David and Caitlin *grrrrr* We had dinner and then I went back to the city to re-join the Browncoats at the Orient. Where silly faces were … Continue reading Busy weekend!
