NOT LONG TO GO

No, I am not talking about my weightloss goal cause boy do I have a lot to go. I am talking about my youngest son finishing Year 12 in 3 days time. He still has exams to do but as for the daily school drudge - it will be gone. I will be actually able to go to work at whatever time suits me and leave whatever time suits me. I haven't been able to do that for 12 years (or more as his older brother is nearly 21 and I have been the taxi driver for him as well). Where have all the years gone! This is definitely going to be a new era for me and time (at last) to think about me and my life. I have for so many years put my kids before me in so many ways. Now, I am not saying that I will no longer care for them cause that is inbred in me. What I am saying is that they no longer NEED me in the way they use to.

Anyway, apart from that my total weightloss is now 2.1kg. I consider that to be very good over a 6 week period and feel quite proud in being able to achieve that while still eating what I want and when I want. Still counting my points with WW Online and it keeps me on the straight and narrow. Even if I eat 20 points more in a day, I am counting that so I am held accountable and can look back and know that the reason I didn't lose weight that week is due to that and not because of "my metabolism"!!!

I also need to get back to Fernwood gym cause I have been making excuses for the last 2 weeks and know that it needs to become a permanent part of my life. Maybe after Thursday (when I get my wings), I can start making it a priority.

I know I am a bit slack in adding posts but maybe that can improve with a bit more time as well!!

A week off work

Well had the last week off work as my youngest son needed taxiing (is that a word??) to and from school for his trial VCE exams. God where has the time gone. Anyway, I sort of used that as an excuse to eat a bit more than I normally would and went over my points by 15 for the week! So, when I weighed in on Saturday I was slightly shitting bricks cause I was pretty sure I would have put on. But, I was pleasantly surprised to have stayed the same. I can't grumble with that. Figured I might make a diary of the points I have for a week and whether or not I lost or gained or stayed the same. That might give me an indication on where I go wrong. My problem this week was wine, wine,wine and the things that go with wine - namely salt and vinegar chips..................................................... I was in holiday mode.

Anyway, back to work tomorrow and back to my usual brekkies and lunches and hopefully a loss. I am happy with a .5 loss as I figured if I only lose that every week I can still be 24 kilos lighter in a year....

Watching Australian Idol at the moment singing Abba songs. Must say they are a good bunch of singers this year and some of those Abba songs sounds really really good. There was an advert just on saying that Supernatural is back (fast tracked from the US) and starts again tomorrow night!! Woohoo. Can't wait. Love that show (among others)

Oh well, I must start the school lunch thing for tomorrow and need to cook some chicken breasts on the George Foreman for my youngest.

Daylight savings started this morning so it aint gonna be easy getting up in the morning. Might try and get to bed early I think as well.
