Here I am at last!!!!

I sat down yesterday to post and the blog board was out of action. Then last night I had to work. I should be dong some mending now and will do it shortly but promised myself I'd post on here this weekend.

Hello everyone-I am doing ok. Just so darn tired at night when I get home from work. I just sit and blob not blog. Actually I had hoped this year I'd have been more energtic this summer but really don't feel any less tired than I did last year 40 kilos heavier.

Food could do with a hurry up and I do start the day well but it goes hey wire some where along the way...like last night and the fight I had with a bag of licorise alsorts they won...you never would guess how strong a bag of licorise can be it held me down while I was fighting back hard and kicking and screaming and jammed the lollies in my mouth and made me chew and swollow I was objecting all the time I assure you and didn't enjoy them at all but my mouth tells me they were YUMMY

Exercise however is better.
I am averaging 40k a week on my bike.
Walk 3 k most days.
3 days a week at pool and up to 12 lengths, sadly that won't last long only maybe another 3 weeks at pool as it will be getting cold by end of month. Biut I am going to join the gym when pool finishes. Was going to wait until May after our holiday but decided a week away from gym isn't gonna cost me much but I'll have gained a month of going if I join in March so will join 1st March.

Went out today and did the distance for duathlon. 3.5k walk 10k bike and further 1.5k walk a breeze did it in 2 hr 5mins planned on 2 hrs so happy enough with that...on the day I am sure it will be under the 2 hrs because I'll get caught up in the flow of others. I see on the GoGirl site they have announced the times and starts at 8am so that isn't to bad I thought it would have been earlier than that. Registration is 12 tilll 5 day b4 so that suits me as I planned on doing the curcit in the car might walk the 1.5 route but don't want to over do it then I'll register and all that stuff then go to the beach for a lovely paddle and stroll before going back to hotel for a spa and good nights sleep. Breakfast will be the biggest issue as I dont think the restarant at hotel opens till 6.30am will have to make inquires want to be out at site by 7.15 at latest. Must ask Jo from Chch what she has for brekkie she has done tons of these.

Went out for tea Friday night with the work crowd. Had soda water b4 we went to restaurant then 2 glasses of wine with dinner and soda after. I had a nice salad and chicken meal and no dessert as I was already full and would have spoilt the meal to stuff more food in me WOW isn't that ever a change, I have be known to stuff myself till I was sick then go back for more.

Realised something the other day while I was floundering in the pool doing my lengths as best as I can. No wonder I can't swim-as a child the primary school and then the intermediate I went to I was foundation pupil at both and so neither had a swimming pool we did gazzillions of fundraising at both but didn't get wet in them until years later when my son was a pupil. By highschool and I was 13/14years I had no confidence and usually found excuse for not swimming i remember having my period an awful lot those years. I did have bad cycles but not as often as that. The other reason for not going in the pool was my togs. They were very flash orange with black piping and I loved them I got them NEW yes not secondhand NEW for xmas or birthday can't remember now which so close together they merge into one anyways. But they were lovely and i thought I was great till I was in the middle of the pool and someone yelled out u could see right thru them when they were wet...they were only bathing togs for lounging poolside and looking glamourous not swimming togs. I can tell you when I bought my togs this year, which are the first ones I have bought since I made darn sure they were for getting wet. They also say on tag suitable for cylorine.

Ok really must do this mending and get clothes ready for work next week. Only have 2 full weeks left then it will be back on call agian thanks goodness as Much more of this will be the end of me. I have trip to Timaru on 13th and then Dundein on 14th so going from Timaru stay night then back here night of 14th. Will miss out on my aqua erobics because it is onlyu on Tues in timaru minght see if it is on in Dunedin pool body permitting.
Right gotta go
