Stuff and other nonsense.....



I can't seem to get rid of this tired feelilng. A lot of stuff has been going on since New Years. We've been quite busy at work and i've been helping the girls with typing, which gives me eye strain and a sore back - I really need a new chair for my desk.

We've been doing double band practice to try and get ready for our show on Saturday.

It's been really hot, and I detest the heat. I'd much rather it was winter all year round, it's so easy to warm up but never easy to cool down - unless you're my brother and your have ducted air AND a pool - but we rarely get invited there.

Then yesterday TTOTM arrives. Why is it always worse when it's hot? The pain seems worse aswell. Especially in the middle of the night when DS decides he doesn't want to sleep anymore and he wants to get up and play and yells "Mummy" enough times from his cot that I have to go and sit in his room and try to get him back to sleep before DH wakes up cranky!!!

Anyway, what i'm trying to say is, despite all of these factors AND not smoking for over a week, i've still been excellent when it has come to tracking, water and food. I can't say as much for exercise because of my ankle, but I set myself a goal of 6,000 steps yesterday and I went over it. I'm pretty pleased with that. I know it's not a lot of steps but it's good for me and my sore ankle.

So today i'm going to try and do 7,000 steps and maybe tonight i'll try and do some arm exercises with tins of tomatoes. Although ESD will be visiting tonight so she'll probably want lots of attention.

When I got to work this morning the front door had been left wide open. Luckily it was one of the bosses that left it open and not one of the girls!!

My very good blog friend Michelle is coming to visit in a week and a half. I'm so excited and we can't wait to meet each other. We're going to have so much fun while she's here.

So there's my thoughts for the start of the day. A bundled muddle of stuff and nonsense - make of it what you will .....

Hey you - hope you are feeling better. Take it easy in the heat - you are always welcome to use our aircon and pool - except the drive will probably get to you before you make it here !!! BUT - if you are ever in the area - the offer is always open.
Look after yourself and take care.

well done on still not smoking Bri. That is fantastic.

I don't like the heat too much either. Especially not today with 95% humidity. Yuck.

You are doing really well. Keep it going. :D

You're a trooper, and your muddled bundle was very entertaining!

Sorry I wasn't there for you yesterday babe. I am so proud of you for sticking to your plan even though you are tired, and understandably so. Not smoking is a major achievment so make sure you give yourself credit for it.
