Sleepwalking through the days
Everything feels like it is moving in slow motion in my head this week. Yesterday I fell asleep four times during the day! Four times! What is with me.
I ate really badly yesterday through the day so that is probably the biggest culprit. I really have to try and do better today because I have too much to do to be able to sleep the day away.
Bit more motivated this morning, the house is done and the kids are dressed all before ten o clock today, first time in a while LOL. This whole school holiday thing really gets you feeling lazy.
The whole weight loss thing is going nowhere this week. I have the breakfast under control, I am walking for half an hour most mornings (this morning I made an exception due to the midday naps yesterday), and tea is always healthy. It is just the hours between 10.00am and 5.00pm that I really am struggling with. If only I could come up with some healthy tasty lunch options that don't require a lot of prep. Most days I just grab the most convenient thing to hand as I am perpetually lazy.
I have a huge pile of work to type this week so its time to get off the computer and start earning some money...

Lucky I have no readers...
because if I did they would all have left by now anyhow, given the time between updates on my blog here. Busy is the only way to describe life right now, kids home on school holidays, transcribing to be done and assignments to start and finish.
I have been researching a lot lately, looking for information on writing, hints and tips, things not to do etc. In the process I discovered a new author whom I think I will really enjoy. A link led me to her website, and the whole tone of the site really appealed to me. She also has excerpts from her books available, ususally the first chapter. Already I am dying to find out what happens next, so off to the bookstore we go to see if any of her work is available here. Unfortunately some of the authors I want to read at the moment are unavailable in Australia, which means waiting, waiting, waiting... although Mum is going to try and pick some up in London for me if possible YAY!
Weight wise things are not looking rosy after the wedding last weekend in Manly. A gain of 800g this week puts me back up close to 76kg again. So back on the straight and narrow this week in pursuit of my lowest weight for 2005.
One thing that I really noticed this weekend is how much eating badly really makes me feel bad. I had really awful indigestion on Saturday night and just felt so slow on Sunday and Monday. I am sure not enough sleep and too much rich food and alcohol are the culprits and I have to cut these bad habits from my life. I am getting too old now to put up with feeling bad all the time.
Time to make my life a healthy place.

Passing time
Well I still cant get the images to upload, the software keeps freezing on me, darn it. But I will give it another go this week and see what I come up with.
I managed to get some exercise in today, walked for half an hour before lunch, and thankfully the pain has almost fully gone. Just in time to stretch it all again tomorrow with another pump class LOL. Thankfully the worst is over and it is time now to start seeing some results.
I tried on the dress I want to wear to a wedding in April, and it fits!! :-))))
So another nine weeks slogging at the gym will either see it fitting really well, and displaying my honed muscles, or it will see me buying a new sexy dress in a smaller size, either way I will be really happy about that.
I am procrastinating here, as I should be studying right now, so I had better pull my finger out and get too it. I really need to get this coursework finished and pass my exam before the end of the month. I will be really dissappointed with myself if I stuff it up.

Pain and shopping, do they go hand in hand?
OMG the pain....
Went back to the gym yesterday after six weeks break.
OMG the pain...
and I know tomorrow will be worse, as I usually dont get bad until day two or three. Thankfully by Monday the pain will be gone again, then I will be at the gym again to start it all over.... no it will never be as bad again, at least not until I stop for another six week break. I always say I will keep going through the summer break, but it just seems such a hassle taking all the kids to the creche, especially when we would not otherwise be going out.
Had a shocker eating day on Wednesday, which sort of continued a bit yesterday although not quite as bad. Thankfully today I have things back under control. If I do that too often I will end up gaining on my first bootcamp weigh in instead of losing.
Went shopping this morning and spent too much money at Target getting new clothes for the kids. I still have more to get too, but I just could not look around any longer, I was getting too frustrated. What is it with my three year old that she thinks evertime I start browsing she can just wander off and browse too, I mean really!
Luckily this afternoon I dont have to go and pick up the kids from school as they both have play dates with friends. So I can fool around here for another hour or two before they come home. I want to try and upload some photos so thats what I will experiment with now.

Stupid antivirus protection
I am nearly fed up with this stupid computer. We do the right thing, get the anti virus software installed and then all it does is interfere with my internet connection and disconnect me all the time. Arggghh!
I am trying to finish my current course on website design, and everytime I try to log in to study I waste up to an hour trying to get the connection to stay. The only way around it is to disable the virus protection, but that is not a good idea. So I just keep logging back in time after time till I get a stable connection.
Good news on the study front though. After talking with a friend this afternoon I now have a case study to use, a real case too. Not just a company I had to invent, so I am very excited about this.
As for the weight loss, not much going on there. I managed to maintain over the holidays, and I am tracking again, but I have to pull my finger out on the exercise front. Bootcamp started today. Back to the gym for Pump and half an hour of cardio. I am committed for Monday and Tuesday next week as well, so hopefully that will give me good news on the scales on Wednesday.
The writing is still on the back burner for the next four weeks, till the study is finished on March 4. Then I plan a two week break between units so I can write for a bit.
So life is looking pretty busy for me till then.
