Its been so long since I had any kind of routine with my food and with my exercise, so I am really glad to be feeling some direction happening now. I checked out SPARKPEOPLE thanks to Beck for the recommendation. I like it!
So I have tracked out my plan for the week, exercise and food, although I still need to update the food pages as I am doing my own food plan and not the one they recommend, but things are looking good so far.
I am also thrilled to report that last night I went walking for an hour and my knee did not give me any trouble (well nothing that would stop me anyway), and it has continued to be pain free today too. Hooray! That gives me more confidence to get out there and push it a little more now. You never know I may just be able to get back to my beloved Karate after all.
The scales have not changed for two weeks now, and all that time I have been saying well TOM is due blah blah, but TOM has not made an appearance, so it looks like the reason the scales are not moving is because I am not moving either. (and no I dont think I am pregnant my cycle is just all over the place since stopping OC's last year).
Today was a strength day for me and I have done my workout even with the horrible heat in this house right now 33degrees inside and no air conditioning YUK. I would like to go for a half hour walk tonight also as I think it will help me to sleep if I am a bit worn out before bed.
Kids are back to school tomorrow YAY, as much as I love them, they are getting sick of being at home and really starting to get on my nerves. Lately I have not even been able to go to the toilet in peace, there is always someone yelling "MUM...", now I understand mothers with toddlers cant go to the toilet in peace, but mine are all four years old or more - surely ten minutes to myself is not too much to ask? Any way I am glad they are excited about going back to school, and I am looking forward to my first year with some child free days as my youngest will be at preschool for three days a week this year. I am only working for two of those days and the third day I can do whatever I please. My sister Lucy reckons I will probably sit on the lounge for the first few weeks just because I can! LOL
So I leave this post feeling positive, and hopeful for my weight loss/health future.

Just for fun
I was tagged by the lovely Wendi with this one, so here goes:
Top 10 list of who I'd have unadulterated, wild, passionate, unabashed sex with if I could. (in no particular order)
Now keep in mind this is just for fun!
1. Johnny Depp
2. Orlando Bloom
3. Jon Stevens (ex Noiseworks lead singer)
4. Chris Cheney (The Living End lead singer)
5. Ben Affleck
6. George Clooney
7. Drew Fuller (played Chris in Charmed)
8. Vin Diesel
9. Andrea Bocelli (but only if he sang the whole time LOL)
10. Julian McMahon (cos I loved him in Charmed)
Kind of strange selection really, but different things do it for different people I guess. I'm not tagging anyone but feel free to do it and let me know if you do.

Goods from my garden
Lately we have had a lot of very warm weather, and then rain, in fact in the last week, lots of rain, and my garden is going beserk.
Mostly there is just lots of good healthy organic food like this:
Then there are the slightly overzealous tomato plants producing a basin of tomatoes every second day like this:
Then there is this:
This one was half the size of my four year old daughter, and weighed nearly as much too LOL.
Just think if I could limit myself to only eating this stuff then my weight loss woes would be over.

My bloggiversary
I just realised I missed my blogiversary, one year since creating my blog. Well happy blogiversary to me LOL.
Happy New Year
All right so it is a little late to be saying this, but this is my first post for the new year and I am saying it, so there...
The first nine days of the new year have been interesting, I hope they are not setting a pattern for the rest of the year cause if they are I may as well just go to sleep and wake me up in 2007!
So far there has been a bottle (yes bottle) of red wine spilt on my cream carpet, a water pump failure in my car, arguments with DH about money and other stuff, screaming at the kids (when I had planned to use zen type mothering this year) and a host of little things that have really bugged me.
On the up side I have been able to start exercising a little again and hopefully this will improve my mood. I am only walking, the whole running thing might never be a reality for me now, but I managed thirty minutes pain free on Saturday, and that is the longest walk I have managed since October. If I can manage this every day and work my way up to one hour walking I am hopeful that I will see the scale start to move in the right direction again.
Also good news, I have a temporary fourth child this week as my close friend gave birth to a healthy beautiful baby boy last night and I am looking after her daughter while she is in hospital. Livvy is very easy to look after and we are enjoying having her, we are also very excited about the arrival of little Dorian, and looking forward to meeting him at the end of the week. Something about new babies always makes me smile :-)
