What a Week

This last week has been tiring....Matthew has been soooo sick!
He got over his croup OK but ended up back at the doctors with a chest and ear infection.
I don't think I slept for about 4 days and then on Friday Eloise had her 5th Birthday....It was such a big week...
Tuesday was my week 4 weigh in and I didn't do very well...I put on a kilo but I haven't had time to exercise so I wasn't surprised!

Things are getting back to normal now I just have to get focused again as I have been feeling bit low:(

Croup

Poor Matthew has had a nasty cough for a few days which had slowly gotten worse, so off to the doctor today....

He has croup!

This is the first time one of my kids has had it....He is on prednisolone for 2 days to ease his airways....Its so horrible to listen to him cough!

We will be sleeping in the lounge tonight with the heater on....

He is so miserable.....

Birthday Binge

I have been soooo naughty

Matthew had his first birthday party last night. I knew there would be yummy things like party pies, sausage rolls and cake so I bought a low fat dip to go with the celery and carrot sticks that I cut up so that I would not be tempted ......

I was going good....And then I thought....Just one!

Well it didn't stop there, I had a party pie, 3 cocktail franks and a piece of cake :(

I could have been happy with that until the mini wagonwheels came out and I had one of those as well!!!!!!

I have NO self control.....

I don't really feel bad as I could have eaten more and I will be back on track very soon.

It felt really good that my sister actually said she could notice the weight coming off :)

Tonight I am going to do some weights and I will feel better

I'm SO Happy !!!!!

I reluctantly got on the scales this morning expecting to either be stable or put on some weight....Instead I lost

2.5 kg

Yippeeee

I can do this.......

I am determined not to go back over 80kgs again....

Friday night is going to be a challenge as we are celebrating Matthews 1st Birthday and there will be lots of yummy things to eat.

but I am going to cut up some carrot, capsicum and celery for me to munch on...

after a few days of feeling yukky this is just great

Moving time

I'm finding staying I on track at the moment very challenging, I am still feeling very low.
I was chatting online to a friend in Perth last night and I got so home sick....I miss Perth.
So this morning I made a decision to move the bedrooms around. I have been thinking about it for a while as the girls bunks annoy me and in my room even though its tiny I can separate the beds.
So I had to dismantle the bunks and move them out of the room, then dismantle my bed as it is solid wood and very heavy. Then set that up. Then I put the girls beds together and mad them all. I still have heaps to do....But I'm feeling better already.

I move my furniture if I am feeling off....It helps with my itchy feet

I am hoping that tomorrow morning I will wake up feeling better and I can get back on track...I haven't eaten anything bad but I haven't been eating regular or drinking enough water...

Tuesday is not looking to good for a loss :(

Feeling Flat

I have been feeling really flat and down today. I don't know why but I thought visiting my sister would help, and it did. I spent most of the time fixing up her computer.
I had 3 cups of ovaltine lite with real milk...yummmmm
I went via the IGA on the way home to get some milk and all I could smell was the cooked chickens....All I could think of was a hot chicken sandwich.....
I almost relented but I didn't....
It is 7.41 and I am ready for bed, Matthew is crying in his cot and both girls are awake....It has been one of those days!
I might wait until the kids are asleep and then go have a nice hot bath with a good book
Hopefully I will wake up tomorrow morning feeling a heap better
