    Have fun, Kaz!!!!!! I am always kind to Trev!!!

     Got up, had 2 scrambled eggs for brekky (can I just say how fast, easy, tasty and filling that is?) then walked to the gym and back to do a Yoga class. Two hours of good exercise, done! We are sitting her debating about going out for lunch! It would be great, to go somewhere nice!!!! I am plugging for Warrandyte, it is a lovely day for that!!!!

    Gees, do I need a prescription to get that feeling??!  I've already got 'children fatigue'!!!  Had half the street's kids up here today might have something to do with it...

    Re: Saturday!

    Sorry Lorna, but there was NO sarcasm for once, I truly LOVE the holidays! and yes, i am weird!

    A great Spring day today!!!! I was up at 6.15am, hanging out washing, as it was simply too nice to be in bed! Dh thought i had finally cracked I am sure! We are, I think, forcast for some rain later though.

    The kids and I have gone nuts and done masses of spring cleaning, THEY are glad it is over, but it was really nice to be doing stuff together. We picked up all the toys in the back yard, swept paths, weeded paving, scrubbed decking, wiped outside tables and chairs, hung out more washing, emptied bins, cleaned bathrooms and the kitchen! Phew! Oh, and they have tidied PROPERLY their rooms! Nice to sit back now with a coffee, I must say! Can't believe it was all done by 10.30am!!!

    Now all I am waiting for is the washing to dry, so I can fold it and put it away, I have ironing to do, dinner to cook and 2 banana cakes to make, and freeze.

    I shall also get on Trev for half an hour later! Yay me!

    Food has been great, even last night, where we had no "meal" as such, just a nibble of this and that, I tracked the calories and hit about 1350 for the day. Which was kick ass considering we ate out!

    Chris leaves for Belgium on Saturday, starting to feel a bit sad. It must be easier in some ways to be glad to get rid of  a husband, LOL!

    Re: Monday

    Sorry, yes, you're probably hanging out to get some leisure time with the kids.  I've been cleaning too, donated half my bookcases.  I went through my wardrobe and donated all the clothes that I kept because I wanted to fit back into them some day.  So my favourite size 8 jeans from when I was 16 will go to a new teenager where they belong.  Thrown out a fair bit of clothes too, DH and I.  And just tidied up in a way we haven't for years.  Feels great.

    Re: Saturday!

    Go Lorna!!!! Nice to clean out, isn't it?

    Ray, he is FAR too excited about the beers! I HAVE pointed out to him that his hotel has a HUGE gym, that looks great, but I suspect he will not go near it! He was in Hong Kong for 12 weeks once, and actually DID use the gym, but their beer is not so good! Whereas when he worked in the UK for 12 weeks, he gained TEN KILOS from the beer!!!! He drops it once he gets back on his bike, thankfully! I have tactfully mentioned that I am not keen on him returning home with lots of Belgian Chockies, because everyone has been telling him to buy lots for his wife, and it would be a nightmare.

    It is now pouring here, and we are stuck inside. Getting a bit cstir crazy! I heard back from a friend who ran the bridge run on the weekend. 15 weeks ago she struggled to run 500m, and she did the 9k in 1hr and 2 minutes, so she is stoked! (She was one of the ones in Newcastle, Raymondo!) I am really happy for her! AND it makes me more determined to get on Trev later!

    Tuesday

    Took the kids to pottery this morning and spent two hours getting little things done, so I would not have to drag them around to lots of shops etc! Came home, had chicken and salad rolls for lunch! They are playing Nintendo while I am online, and later I will be getting on Trev, and I really am looking forward to it, I need to do something physical.

    I gained 0.8 this week, yay me! LOL! We had white rice last night, and dinner was salty, so it is not a good day to weigh in, but such is life.  I mentioned the "two steps forward, one step back" thing earlier this week, but I am definitely on the forward roll today. I found it very hard ot find "good" things for my journalling last night, which kind of frightened me, actually. It menas two things. 1. I am coming down hard on myself, and not allowing myself to feel good about what I DO that is good, and 2. I am in danger of going back to my negative mode. And I am not letting that happen, because this time I am aware of it, and cna therefore make changes to stop it!

    2 minutes walk at 6kph
    2 minutes jog at 7kph
    1 minutes walk at 6kph

    Wednesday

    Going fine...................... BUSY! Took the kids for haircuts, then to visit Old Nan. Took her Mc Donalds Fries and thickshake, the kids had them too. I had apple slices and a Diet Coke and did not feel at all like I was missing out, fabulous to report!

    Am about to clean the kitchen and then check on the washing, before I get on Trev, and a few other things.

    We have a friends son coming to play tomorrow, his Dad has just come home after brain surgery, so they are pretty housebound. He is a handful, but it will be fine. I will get the exercise in tomorrow morning, as I know I will be monitoring them in the afternoon!

    SO much time!

    When you get up early!!!! LOL!

    It is only 10.12am, and we are all up, dressed and the house is under control. We have been to the shops for veggies and fruit, retunred DVD's, come home and put the shopping away. The kids have been playing outside, and I have just done some time on Trev! (5 minutes at 5kph, 6 minutes jog at 7kph, 3 mins walk at 6kph,6 minutes jog at 7kph, 3 mins walk at 6kph,6 minutes jog at 7kph, 3 mins walk at 6kph, 4 minutes at 5kph) So I sit here, all swaety and euphoric! LMAO. And strangely, I found myself waiting for the walk bits to be over, so I could jog. And I decided, I was not simply waiting, I was actually looking forward to them................

    Have to take Amy Rose to her friends at 11am, then home for lunch, and at 1.30pm I have to go collect Zacs friend and josh's friend for the afternoon. Josh's buddy is here for dinner, and they have chosen hot dogs. I am glad to say I have salmon risotto leftovers for me!

    Did I mention life is good???????????

    Friday morning!

    And what a LOVELY one it is! Sunny and warm here in Melbourne, just divine!

    Ended up having a great day health wise yesterday, although I had to ward off the evils last night as I watched TV. I actually went to the fridge, opened it, and then said (out loud!) "NO! What the hell?" I was not hungry, I was TIRED. So it may not seem much, but for me to actually identify the emotion/feeling I was about to cover up with food, well that is massive. I shut the fridge, sat back down and watched TV, sort of shell shocked! LMAO! And the whole evening I kept thinking about getting up and snacking, but never did. Then I went to bed early and slept, which sensibly is what you SHOULD do with tiredness! :)

    Chris has the car today, as he has to bring home the stuff he needs to take to Belgium, so we are having a home day, which I am beyond happy about! I have washing on the line, will have ironing to do, dinner to cook, and I will have Trev to do, also. I am not in the mood to exercise, as much as I am feeling upbeat. Not sure what is the deal with that. Maybe it is the head getting in the way, as in, "You won last night, so you can slacken off today"? So I WILL get on Trev later!!!!

    Chris leaves at 11.00amish tomorrow, :( Anyone wanna come and keep me company? LOL!!! I will be fine, I like my space, just in the past I have filled it with food, so BIG challenge that I will be beating this time.

    Re: Friday morning!

    Hi Jane,

    WOW!! That was so good to be able to say "No" to the night time munchies.  I haven't been able to beat the night time thing yet.  Everyday at work I say "I'm not going to eat when I get home tonight" but I always do.  I figures if I have a small healthy snack for now, maybe I can eventually have no snack.  Its like weaning myself of it LOL!!

    Take Care, Anna

    Airport food............

    Took Dh to the airport this morning, which sucks, as I hate airport goodbyes, and seeing my 10 yo son so sad was heartbreaking.........

    We bought lunch there, the kids had Hungry Jacks, Chris and I had Nandos. I had a veggie pita, and I have a suspicion is was deep fried, would that be right????? 418 calories, and I thought i was doing so well! LOL! I caved as we left and the kids and I all had  Krispy Kreme donut each, God they are AWFUL!!!! I threw most of mine away, so good am I not??? LOL! The kids liked them, no accounting for taste, si there?

    I am exhausted and have a headache after the driving etc, but I still want to get on Trev later so I hope the head eases. I dont mind so much being tired, but not the headache.................

    Anyhow, on we go............................
