Back to work Back on track

Start work in an hour and half-not looking forward to it actually, one of the busiest days of the year...but it will at least go fast.
Went for a walk last night only 35 mins but it was a start. It was very pleasant had cooled down and a lite breeze, just on dark and very few ppl about. Had planned on going out at 6 this morning but my body and mind weren't playing together today. Have the swimming bag ready though and if it is a good afternoon will go to pool at 5 when I finish work.
Dinner is prepared and snacks packed just have to decide on Lunch. At least being at work the temptations aren't as much...I can resist the Blind dog lollies at work but give me a bag of lollies at home and I'll scoff them. I am sure it is because I am secretly trying to impress and show off infront of work mates what ever it is I wish I could carry it around with me all the time.

My gut is still growling and gurgling from all the food rubbish I have eaten over the last week. THe thing that really amazes me is that I didn't eat nearly as much as I would have eaten other Christmas'. The scales are slowly dripping back to where I was b4 all this stupid scoffing of food. The worst part is of course that I was the one that bought and prepared it all in the first place. I have managed to give away boxes of chocies and biscuits I received as presents. I don't normally give away presents but if someone is so insencitive to my feelings etc and gives me bloody chocolates then that is tough if they are offended by me giving them away. I told hubby last night that he could take the large box of sampler biscuits the big boss gave us at work...that one was a bulk buy and everyone got same I wasn't so niggled about it. But it really shows how little thought goes into a present if u get chocolates....even if I wasn't trying to lose weight at my size choclates isn't good...I wonder if they would give an alcoholic a bottle of gin.
Ok get off your soap box Felicity.
Best make a start on the day, think an other cup of coffee is in order. Have a great day and if u r lounging on a beach or river bank give us folks working hard a thought.

Felicity in charge.

4.5 kilo GAIN

Shit. Didn't even eat much, well not as much as do other Christmas days. Think some of it is wine and drinks from days previous. Only had bacon eggs for brakfast, cherries for lunch, then at 5.30 had shrimp cocktail, cold meat and salads (sliced roast pork, roast beef, moked salmon, bean salad, beetroot, carrot salad) now what would gain 4.5 k out of that....however maybe the broken glass jelly and trifle might have helped. What I keep thinking is if I gained 4.5 this year what the bloody hell did I gain other years when I had HUGE roast meal and Xmas pud, pav, and loads more food.

Didn't get to the lake as I had hoped hubby didn't want to go promised he'd take me tomorrow, we will see, of course by then all the holiday makers will be ther and it will be so crowded and stuff he'll come up with some other excuse.

Had a nice phone call from my son last night he had a lovely day in Sydney.

Well best go the washing machine has just finished so will get next load in....one day with out washing and there is a mountain of it to do...geez louise. Thought hubby might have said as u cooked I'll do the dishes (yesterday you know that miracle of Christmas thing) but it didn't happen so need to clean up in there. It was Christmas for me yesterday too so I was bloody sure I wasn't doing dishes was bad enough cooking.

Hope u all have had a lovely Christmas
Back into the weight loss journey again, onward we go.

time I showed my face

I hadn't realised it had been so long since I last posted. Time does fly so!!!
I am having a quiet day ( please whisper) Had a great night out last night with the crew from work. Went on a bus trip. It has been a LONG time since I have let my hair down like that hehehe. Had a ball. My head was a bit foggy this morning and I had to move slowly while making the morning coffee cause the room would spin if I didn't. Feeling loads better now just tired, got home 3.18 so my husband informmed me-I wasn't looking and the face on my watch had disapeared about 10ish or was that about when my eyes got a bit blurry. Oh well it was fun and I don't think I did to much to embarrass myself and will be able to show my face at work tomorrow. Eaat ok but the drinks calories consummed was way over the top. Got a BBQ this afternoon but it will be a much quieter affair.

Haven't had much energy lately to do much of anything-summer is a bad time for me. I don't blend well with heat and tend to blob when i finish work. That is when I eat most take aways and icecream. Have been good on the ice cream stakes thought has been over a month since last bought any.

Anyway must go make salad for thisBBQ just wanted to pop in and say howdy. Will post again b4 Xmas.

Hugs to all

Felicity

Stop and smell the roses

not recomended after it has been raining...can't believe how much rain a rose but holds.

Weigh in is the same.

tired and aching feet from a long day's work.

I am off to Dunedin tomorrow for the night...then to Christchurch for 2 nights, great jsut what I need at this time of year. As if thins aren't busy enough, oh well such is llife.

Time for bed see u all again some time after Monday.

Same old boring stuff

Have really no reason for not updating sooner other than nothing much to write. I did think of goin for a snooze this afternoon instead of writting this it is so hot and I don't do the heat well. I am sitting in the cool of the air conditioning with the drapes draw it is very pleasant. Unfortunately I am pooped from gardening earlier...not saying that I had any energy or desire to garden it had to be done the plants were already looking sick. I like the look of gardens but don't enjoy the labour on little bit and my garden or weed haven is a testiment to this.
I have a strange week ahead work Monday Tuesday then off to Dunedin Wed/Thurs, so hope to get at least 2 maybe 3 beach walks in and perhaps a trip to the pool. Not very confident driving in Dunedin so depends on where the pool is in relation to the hotel. The home Thurs night and off to Timaru and Christchurch Friday so a beach walk Thurs at Caroline Bay and if I can talk the hubby into it maybe Fri night then Sat and Sun morning can wangle Aqua gym classes and at least Sat a beach walk, maybe mid morning b4 it gets to hot. We have a 50th birthday party to go to Sat night so a loud night.

Christmas is nearly here and it really isn't doing much for me at all. Christmas is usually a family argument and 3 yrs ago was a beaut so hubby and I have since spent it on our own. We plan on just having cold meats and salads cheeses salmon etc and I'll make a trifle and jelly and of course plum pud and we will just pick at it all thru the day. Maybe snooze a bit and I want to go for a walk at Lake b4 all the holiday makers arrive from boxing day till end Jan u can't get near the lakes for loopies. I had the Christmas CD's on yesterday and if the remote wasn't over there I'd probably have them on now but can't muster up enough umph to go turn it on. Work will be mad (I shouldn't really have taken this week off but needs must) from now until Feb so a quiet day today is much needed. I am not working weekends this year it was to much and although the money would be nice for our Wellington trip in April the old weary body just can't handle it.

Food has picked up again was being a bit slcak for a couple of weeks, the platuea luggie had set in
and I was getting very frustrated. hope for a decrease this week...will not be happy wth anything else. I am going to weigh in tomorrow morning tea time as there won't be time Tuesday and Friday is too late. I want to know now.

Well girls I really am dropping off between lines here so will sigh off and go have 40 winks will shift hose first.

Thanks all for your lovely words about the photo post. Still haven't work out how to get it on my blog id. Says I need photo url but can't get it to do that, oh well never mind.

Will pop in with weigh in results tomorrow night. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

alive

I will post this weekend.
