Turns out being sick makes my brain fall out. What the hell was I thinking? Friday, Saturday and Sunday were total disasters as far as eating goes and the only part I really enjoyed was the scones with jam and King Island cream on Saturday, mmmmm… What was I saying? Oh yes – food, too much and bad choices all round 😦 I forced myself to walk on Sunday morning in the hope that it would give me a bit of a boost out of the slump, I’m glad I did it but it doesn’t seem to have helped much. … Continue reading Ahhh…crap

I’ve managed to make up yesterday’s debt through the judicious use of points free soup for dinner, I’d pantry picked my way through my points during the afternoon on account of feeling miserable but still having to do the parenting thing. The vegetable and barley soup did duty as lunch AND afternoon tea and was delish! And now I am going to bed with tea and a good book and dumping the parenting duties on my long suffering and most wonderful husband (he says I’ve forgotten handsome, he’s reading over my shoulder as I type). Life ain’t so bad really … Continue reading Soup is good

…but are more than happy to share their lurgies? I had David (aged 9) home from school Monday and Tuesday with a horribubble cold and this afternoon it became apparent that he has generously shared it with me 😦 My head is thumping, my throat is sore, and my sinuses are nicely blocked. No walkies for me today, I’m going to bed with some lemon tea. Went a little over on points today, using up yesterday’s saved point and going into debt 1 1/2 for tomorrow, that should be easy enough to make up. I’ve cooked a huge batch of … Continue reading Why is it kids won’t share toys…

I’ve saved 1 point, done some walking and when the urge to raid the pantry reared its ugly head while I was cooking dinner and then again just after the kids had gone to bed I clobbered it on the nut with my will of iron and consequently am feeling slightly smug about the whole deal. I shall report in again tomorrow 🙂 Continue reading And at the end of the day…

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. In the pic, from the left, are Lorries, me, Jessmac, Aempson, Kerryh and Blownupdoll. Jessmac’s and my other halves were doing the photo taking 🙂 Continue reading Picnic at Bicentennial Park

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

I went to The Hub Convention on Saturday, I hadn’t planned to go as I’d decided I couldn’t afford the time or the money but when last minute $20 tickets for the Saturday went on sale I gave in to temptation 🙂 I was pretty broke though so I couldn’t fork out for photos with the guests or autographs…ah well, you can’t have everything.

For this month I want to: 1) Get to my 10% – only 0.5kg to go!2) Leave the 120’s behind forever3) Do 3 weights/resistance training sessions per week4) Go to bed earlier! 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!
