GIRLS GET GROOMED TODAY

 Today the girls go to the groomers again.  I was just saying a couple of days ago that they must be due to go again, and boom!  I get a reminder they have an appointment today at 11.30.

Just as well the groomers send reminders, cos I can never remember when they are due to go.

I will be cancelling their next appointment though, as they don't need to be groomed in the middle of winter.  They freeze!

I mentioned yesterday that Mike and Joyce left a little present for me, under the pillows on the bed they used.

ABOVE: It was the funky sweatshirt Mike had bought for himself!  Seems I get to wear it first.  THANK YOU so much Mike and Joyce, I love it.

It's the very first item of clothing I've ever worn from H & M.  'Before', none of their clothing would fit me.   I must stop moaning about still being fat, I'm not that bad, and I'm still working on losing more.

I have just plateaued lately.  I just need to break through and get going again.

And I will.

Right now though, my day's plan is to do some housework.  Primarily cleaning the skirting boards!  They are easily forgotten... so that is my plan for today.  Clean them.  I will be shuffling around the house on me arse with a bucket of hot, soapy water!  Just picture it, I'm sure it will amuse you for a moment.

...9.10 am:  and shit!  Skirting boards are hard work.  Particularly when you add in full cleans of the bathrooms/wet room.  

I doubt I'm gunna get all the skirting boards done today.

I'm also spot cleaning walls as I go too... so yeah.  A big job.

It feels like a Monday, when I do most of the housework to be honest.  I bet most people feel like it's Monday too.  Long weekends sure mess with ya daily clock.

And I just dropped the girls off at the groomers.  Marley needed some 'gentle' persuasion to get in the room.  😂😁😀  Poor thing, she started shaking the moment I put her harness on.  She knew.

Now... all is quiet here.  My hands are wrecked from the cleaning products.  I really should learn to wear gloves.  I'm done for the day, in relation to cleaning anyway.  I'm gunna just relax for a little while, before perhaps doing some sewing.

2.20 pm:  The girls are home, they look gorgeous. They both embarrassed me by going toilet at the groomers!  Both of them.  And both 'ways' as well.   Stress I think makes them do that.

Anyway, they are home and sleeping it off.

I am very reluctantly going to WW this evening, where I WILL record a BIG gain.  There's no getting around it.

I think the hot drinks have a little to do with it, plus adding carbs back into my meals a bit too often.

Like, I made delicious savoury scones over the weekend, and I had my fair share of them.  I shouldn't have had any.

But, I can hand on heart say I did not have any chocolate!  I'm proud of that at least.

3 and a half hours till I weigh in.  

Well... as I expected I went up.  By 1.6 kilos.  That's a very big gain.

But it could have been worse!  At least I didn't hit the 2 kg mark.

Time to work harder, and not be quite so self indulgent.

AND get back to some exercise. 

 

AND stop drinking those hot drinks.  The WW leader tonight told me that I'm consuming half my daily points in drinks per day!!!  Oh hell.

I think I better reserve those hot drinks to market days only.

And that's me day done and dusted.  I'm glad I still went and weighed in, instead of going YEAH NAH, not going.  Being accountable and owning it.  

On to the next day.
