ABOVE: two darling wee videos of Dante, he is just starting to 'talk'... so, so cute. He has got to be the most
Today: well it's one of those Thursdays where I take Keera over to west Auckland to visit with her father. So this will be 'it' from me until I get back home, which will be mid afternoon.
Fingers crossed we hear from the Building Company today about when they will be starting work on our house.
ONWARD...
Today's access visit went well.. though I did hear a few things that got me all hot and bothered. SO OVER dealing with shit that should have NOTHING to do with me.
*sigh*... anyway... I'm home now and looking forward to a stress free few days.
DAY 7: and I'm still feeling awesome. Starting to actually FEEL hungry, which is a novelty... lol.
I am going to make some sushi now for dinner. Yaaaa.
Scrap the sushi! I'm doing Australian rump steak and bubble 'n' squeak rissoles.
Been down in the garage, still trying to sort stuff out down there, but I think it's getting there. I can sit down and sew soon, without wondering where everything is.
Still crabby that I didn't find my big blue quilt. Just means I have to work on stuff I didn't want to do right now. Don't ya hate that?
BELLA: Bubble 'n' Squeak is a rissole made from cooked potato and usually veges like corn, peas, etc. I bought our's ready made from the supermarket. Cheating, but we don't usually have left over potato and veg in this house!
Time to get dinner going I think...
I know it's Valentine's Day, but Stew and I don't usually give each other anything, as we see it as just a revenue garning day for retailers. We don't need a 'special' day to show we love one another.
Anyway... what did my man go and do?
MARY H: funny, just as well they are not edible!
Today is the first time I've felt a bit shaky about my resolve to improve my weight/health. But, I will ride it out. Once I'm in bed I will be fine.
End of Day: a LONG day. I hate having to spend time away from home... I love being home ... how weird is that! I'm almost done in the garage (for now), so I can start some sewing projects soon.
nite nite
those vids were awesome! :)

Chris I am super proud of you and this whole weight loss thing can be tough. But!! Go and read your blog and realise how strong that Chris was that ate well and went to the gym every day, sometimes twice per day!! She is still there, find her Chris you can do it!!!! Bec
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines day!
ReplyDeleteChris - remember that if you are feeling hungry, especially right before bed, have a cracker or two with peanut butter on it. Or, a cracker with a piece of cheese. It will get you through the night.
When we quit eating like we normally do, our metabolism sloooows down, so we must exercise a bit to bring it back up. Then we will start losing weight.
When I lost 20 lbs I drank 16 ounces of water Before and After each meal. Plus, I ate an apple before lunch and before dinner. Of course I gained it back when I went on a cruise and ate my way through the buffet. But that is another story. LOL
I've recently lost 15 pounds, since October. At first, I was treating myself once a week, for one meal, to eat whatever I wanted. I'm not doing that now as I've realized that "treat" isn't good for me. It was usually a grease dripping hamburger. Ha!
Good luck, you can do this. Each day is a new day.

Happy Valentines Day (belated)
