Ill start from Wednesday up early to
youngest son to a friend's place they were off to do stand-up paddle boarding
for 3hrs with a local govt rec centre as part of school holiday activities. One the way back the local radio station
had a car beside the river with give aways - hastily did a U-turn
and managed to get a free double pass to the movies
for "Eddie the Eagle" with Hugh Jackman which starts in the next few weeks
. Had a doctors appointment
to review my blood glucose levels - turned out all ok but still need to lose weight - got referrals for dietician and exercise physiologist. Home to the other 2 kids to do some
and check the
, watched some
by the afternoon I was feeling like I needed to get out of the house so the 2 kids and I jumped in the
and headed to the beach
for a
walk - was feeling a little unwell and dizzy
so had to cut the
short
. Went to the local park to meet with other son and friend's mother to drop off clothes as the playday turned into a sleepover -
happened with the mum of course! Thursday a down day nothing much happening
until had to
oldest son to/from part time job - it was a late night pick up he finishes at 10pm on Thursday nights
. Friday forced myself to get up early to go
paddling - I was on my own for this so stayed close to shore - couldn't convince the kids to get out of bed to come with me.
doctors again for a skin check (have to do them regularly when you live in Queensland and spend lots of time in the sun!) was supposed to have a vitamin B12 shot again but the timing of those have been reduced thanks to the nausea and dizziness. Youngest son got picked up for another play at a friend's house. Some more
and
. The home phone which has been slowly dying finally did just that so
off to the shops to get a new one and drop oldest son off to work for 2 hours training.
DD and I wandered the shops to kill time and as a special treat I shouted her a go on these ride on animals (not real) at the shops that she has been watching all the kids having a go on lately an when I say kids I mean from little ones through to teens. She was very
and I even got a double from her for a little while lol we had some laughs. Dropped oldest son off for a sleep over with his mates and again a small
chat with another mum, home in time for youngest son to get dropped off and more
with that mum lol
. Saturday
to pick up oldest son then home to get youngest son back in the
to get to hockey game lots of
was a good game DS almost got a goal but the goalie basically laid down to block him - he was so determined but just couldn't get it in
. Home to
discovered the new phone wasn't working properly the base unit was not getting power
so back in the
to drop oldest off at work again and go exchange the phone. Lazy night tonight ordered pizza to be ready for when I had to
pick up oldest son from work at 7pm and watched
'Notting Hill' was the movie on tv. We are having a very slow start to Sunday this morning lots of
zzzzz as we have to go back to school/work tomorrow after 2 weeks off!!!
we don't want to go. So that means
shopping today to stock up for the week and
and ironing and I think I am supposed to be
catching up with a friend. Oh and I have done a good job of cutting back on
soft drink through the day this week - not perfect yet but definitely improved.
Check in for the week is 20% of goal or 120/600 minutes of activity.
Check in for the weekend and I lost 4.5 pounds. I'm reeeeally not sure how that happened. I did do a good job of staying within points and working out so I guess it's real. Guess next week I need to eat more! I'm so excited to keep up with only one indulgent meal on the weekend though. I think that helped this week tremendously.
I'm at 75% of my 6 pound loss goal
I also just realized that I'm only 11 pounds from my initial weight loss goal of 170. I'm not sure what I'll do when I'm there but I can't believe how close I'm getting!
Fantastic effort - wow getting close to your goal weight woohoo.
I am having a crappy day today, had some very bad news about someone close to me. But I have decided to not eat my emotions and instead continue on my rather perfect week so far!
