Well, first go at prep parent help today!

What a funny day! Gab's class is just too cute! They were all pretty good, and were so happy to do what was asked. They are running assembly tomorrow which should be just gorgeous. I had to come late, so that tomorrow is a 'surprise' (mind you she has been singing the song all week :P)

The water part of the challenge so far is going really well. I have had a bit of coffee though .. might have to cut that back! I stayed the same this week, but ate (and drank) badly, so very grateful to stay the same!

Out to lunch also today with a 'computer' friend, who has turned into a RL one :) Thanks for lunch S, it was lovely today. We spent the whole time gossiping about the news on different websites, but it was lovely to do it without the helper 4 year olds! They spent some time with their grand mother.

On the hunt for some new bedding. Might head out to the Sheridan outlet.

Now what to do for tea ..........

Well .. as I commonly say ...

Sleep is over rated. Off this week to cry at the doctor I think and see if they have any solutions. This is just insane!

Anyhow .. we drew hockey 2 - 2. I am so pleased with that as we were a player down and they also had 4 subs. Did lots of running! Of course I came home and started comfort eating as the child is not sleeping. I know why I am doing it, I need to find a way to stop that!

I have joined a 12 week challenge called the star team. We start today! I am starting the first challenge this week, which is drinking 8+ glasses of fluid today, the majority being water. I am hoping to loose 10 kilos in this 12 week challenge.

Thats all for now, spring cleaning time! I got some lovely photos from the party we went to on Saturday, so break times will be sorting through those and sending/editing!

I truly detest ears, and have learnt that I am not...

as far into the weight loss journey as I thought. DS2 has yet another flipping ear infection. Not that that worries him, except of a night. He then can't sleep, and all he wants is to be cuddled, preferably in the upright position. Needless to say, only one of us gets sleep, and its normally him. I feel like a frieght train hit me!

The reason for not being as far as I thought I was is that I did what I used to do ... emotional eating and drinking :( I know I don't need it, but of course I have it. I have to get past this hump, I can't hide behind it anymore!

Off to hockey today, hopefully that will wake me up!

Yet

another post for today. I was knocked for six with news last night, and am still equally stunned today. A friend in a forum I am on has just be diagnosed with breast cancer. B, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am around when ever you need someone to help in anyway possible ok?

Exciting News that Deserves a post of its own :)

My first go and my new scrapping program, and what better way to test it than making 2 pregnancy announcements! Thats 2 nieces/nephews on the way in January .. how exciting!! Ignore the editing marks please, I cut and pasted wrong!

Wow ... I'm down 20 pounds now...

Well slightly more, but no complaints from me :) Thats 9.3 kilos :) I am stoked. I didn't have the best week, and was extremely premenstral, so any weight loss was a bonus (lost a kilo this week!)

Now, to lose the peanut butter addiction ...

The kids started swimming lessons yesterday. The boys started in the morning, and surprised me with their confidence. For 2 children who hate getting wet at the best of times, they were like little fish :P

Gab was in the afternoon, and didn't stop talking about going swimming between the 3pm pickup and the lesson.



Wannabee photographer here, and I forgot to take a camera. Thank goodness for camera phones eh?

It was a close game of hockey ...

It was a 9 - 0 win! Nice! I ran about 50% of the game, and stayed moving for the rest. I ran! I can't beleive how much I did run, and how good it felt!! Have made up those points for the beers on Friday. Yesterday I ate 5 under, and so far today I am 11 under. Struggling to keep up with the two bits of fruit, but loving the vegies and low fat dairy.

DH is away this week from tomorrow, so another test at getting my act into shape, and not falling back on easy teas. For those that don't know, DH works away a bit, he can go away for up to 8 weeks or so with anything up to an hours notice. He is off to Olympic Dam (SA) for 10 days.

Mum and Dad should be in London now. Bet they are excited. They are away for 7 1/2 weeks. Mum didn't kill Dad on the first night, and didn't trip over anything, so thats a good start to the trip :P

Must go finish cooking tea :)
