Goals

So normally my goal is to lose weight - but that's not happening so I have a new goal. My goal is to compete in a marathon (or perhaps half marathon) next year!
I don't run. So I have to learn to do it!
(cue Eye of the Tiger for my training montage)

First goal is to be at the gym at least 3 times a week - and on the days that I don't I will go for a big walk - then at the start of the new year I will begin to learn to run.

So tomorrow, after Dylan gets home, I am off to the gym. No matter how tired I think I am I will do it - also walk Harrison to and from kindy as long as it isn't persisting down!

10kg by Christmas

My goal is to weigh 10kg less by Christmas.
I will start by weighing myself tomorrow morning - then tracking points and going to the gym.

So back tomorrow to fill in the gaps!

10 sleeps to go

Right well - off to Melbourne next week! Last time we went was for our honeymoon so I am quite excited as we loved it then (2 1/2 years ago).
I went and bought some summery type tops today and a skirt - 4 tops, 1 cardigan and a skirt - $44. Pretty pleased with that - although I am planning a wee tiny bit more shopping while we are in Melbourne - lalala.
Also looking for a good steak house for a nice dinner out - Dylan is a big fan of steak - and I am even a little partial to a nice steak every now and again.
Of course the only other thing we have planned is the Dali exhibition - soooooooo excited! I can't wait.

10 sleeps ................... 10 sleeps .....................

Life

We are now living 5 minutes walk from the beach, in a massive house, sharing with my parents.
So far, so good!

Harrison loves it here - the only problem is that until a space opens (someone turns 5!) at Takapuna Kindy he still has to go to Birkdale - which is a 10km drive away ...... in the morning ..... every day ....... in rush hour traffic!!!!

Dylan has just taken the boys for a walk - Mr J is trying his backpack out for the first time and was looking pretty pleased about it all when they left - we'll see how he feels when they get back as there was a sudden downpour about 5 minutes after they walked out the door!

I am back on the weightloss wagon. Again.
I am trying to be very aware of what I am eating and not snacking between/after meals.
Working on it!!!

And they're back!

You know what sucks

being sick.

The worst thing is that I know that if I had a day of rest I wouldn't get this bad but because I spend the time looking after other people my cold gets worse. I am now at the tired, sick, sore stage. My legs hurt, my glands hurt, my eyes are tired and itchy .................... I'm exhausted.

Sooooooooooo

there is no way I will be goal weight by June 11!

But I have kept the weight off - just not losing anymore - so trying some new tactics.
Tomorrow is a Monday so I am
* counting points again
* drinking more water (rather than coke!)
* no eating after 7pm!!!
* and back to the gym

I have a bad habit of snacking after dinner an I eat way too much and it's always crap.

But anyway - I just want to make sure I am not going to start getting all the weight back - that is something I really do not want to happen.

We have been having smoothies for breakfast so at least I am having one every morning now rather than no breakfast at all. Now I just have to take note of all the other things I am eating.
