Right you are all witness to...

...I am back on track. I have just read Just4Jo post and it so woke me up like she was physically shaking me-thanks Jo. I have been so slack for so long if I thought about it plodding along for most of 2007 AND NO MORE PLODDING

This week I have worked 40hrs first time in months and I feel like I have been run over by a truck a BIG truck. I ache all over. I fell asleep at 7 watching tv twice and went to bed for a nanna nap when I got home at 5 last night (we were to go out with hubby's work but didnt go in the end) I had hoped this summer I would feel better and not so run down working full time or near to it-but this week has proven to me different. I've got another full week next week and then a month till its full on summer hours AND I HAVE TO BE READY.

I have been blaming my lack of fitness onto my knee and yeap to an extent that is the case BUT (and a big butt it is getting) there is no need to be stuffing crap into my mouth because I have a sore knee. This week (well only Thursday actually) a huge jar of lollies-the soft chewy party mix sort of lollies that ya can stuff a handful down b4 u even realise it-turned up at work. This was some promotional thing to say well done guys and there is an even bigger bag to refill the jar when its empty. Now there are always lollies at work the blind dog lollies are on counter for sale and one co-worker always has a bag open and I can usually say no thanks to them BUT this jar of lollies really got a hold of me and has pushed well I would think the equivilant to 2 maybe 3 regular bags of lollies down my throat in two flippen days. NO MORE ON Monday I am not eating them I am no letting a scummy bag of lollies rule my life.
I am stronger than that.
I am stronger than that.
I am worth the effort.
I am worth the effort.
Feeling healthy fit and slim is great. Much better than any lolly tastes.

Right so you are witness to this I am back on track.

I here by declare:

I will track daily
I will drink my water (minimum 2 lts daily)
I will not give into that lolly jar
This week I will make the best choices I can-
no ice creams
no choc licorise
no extra sandwich at lunchtime (I'm on late lunch this week so will take a yogurt for morning tea to hold me over and then I wont scoff at lunch time)
no snacks after tea of any sort.
I wont commit to any exercise this week but hope to get at least 2 bike rides in.

Next Saturday when I am sat here aching all over from working all week (u would think I had hard labour work but I don't I tell u all I do all day is stand on one spot smiling at stupid people) I am going to feel good about my week and I am going to be able to say I did the best I could do.



What else been happening-
Monday was our 12th wedding annivesary...not really much to celebrate there except been 12yrs I havn't commited murder. We had whitebait fritters in bread for tea(I could have had salad with them as the healthy option but went with the lazy one...changes will happen)
Husband bought me a new lap top while we were in Chch last weekend-very nice you would think but as it is on tick and now I have to set up the automatic payments to come out of an already stretched bank account for $50 fortnight he also got stung for a norton virus protection which we dont need cause we got one and 3 yr warrenty which isnt worth paper written on for a computer so he is taking them back. I havent had the energy to set up the computer will do that today...that and washing will be it for the day me thinks and cook tea.

Tuesday fell asleep watching Frank Spencer on telly that is 7pm-was planning on going to weight managment but forgot it was even Tuesday...next week.

Wednesday was to have lunch with a friend but she never showed Tea was tinned salmon mashed spud and meslin salad mix with a tomato thrown at it.

Thursday- now Thursday was worth writting about..was hubbies day off work and I said earlier in the week as he was off he could cook tea...so all day Thurs I was thinking negitive thoughts but got home to him cooking ok it was only spag bol but it was a meal cooked and I didnt have to cook yeah This is only about the 5th time in 14.5 yrs together that he has cooked anything more than toast so a HUGE effort on his behalf and hope it means he is trying to make an effort.

Friday as I said I came home and went for a snoooze for an hour-we were to go to hubbies work drinks and meal at the pub I so did not want to go...cant stand the guys he wrks with. But as I am always grumbling we never go out together I was going to go...when I got up from snooze he said he didnt want to go either so I didnt argue...we went to Poppies (cafe on outskirts of town) had a lovely meal of fish of day..but was naughty and had garlic bread and chips off husbands plate...both things the heathly thinking Felicity would have not considered doing its these little things that make ya FAT Felicity-snap out of it. Didnt have desert but that was cause I suggested we get an icecream from garage...but when got in car it was 9pm and garage was closed so that save my body some much not needed calories and I was already full so did not need it anyway.

Ok off to start setting up this new laptop...hope to be back latter on it.
Will find my water bottle too

Cheerio folks.
