I'VE GOT A COW ON ME TREE

 

ABOVE:  Steve 'n' Bex gave me the cutest cow ornament for our tree the other day.

There's quite a few cow 'things' dotted around my home ... I love cows.

Stew is home today, he booked today off work ages ago.

So, not sure what we are going to get up to today.

The gazebo thingee over our outdoor seating by the pool is coming down.  We don't like it.  It will be going out on the front grass verge for someone to take away for us.

Reason being it's a tight enough area without the gazebo.  At some point I will get a retractable shade awning for that area, one that doesn't impact on the space.

My new Challenge starts today.

I am going to be following it until Christmas Day, which will be my first 'Day Off'.  Then I will do A 14 DAY ROTATION for a while. The biggest thing will be cutting out sugar, and almost all carbs.

I still want to be eating fresh veges (which have carbs), but they are not processed carbs, so I'm having them.

Let's see how it goes. 

 

I will weigh in this morning on my home scales... then not again until Christmas Day morning.

This Challenge IS all about dropping some goddam kilos!

I'm sick to death of staying within the same bloody 5 kilos, up and down. 

I'm going for a walk first thing this morning, then coming home to do the usual Monday morning housework.

Then Stew and I will potter around doing odd jobs.

Catch ya later.

Bloody perfect day for a lake walk!

Super cloudy and not too hot.

ABOVE:  Duck... Duck... Coot.  And that Coot was going nuts at me, squawking it's head off.

ABOVE:  It took a bit of 'shepherding', but I got a Duck... Duck... Goose photo too.  

ABOVE:  We got tired of walking on the path, and did some 'walking on water' today.

Yeah nah.  I forgot to restart the app after stopping to take photos.  So not a correct account of our walk.  

It was slower than 'normal' I think.  We are all a bit tired.

Now, I'm going outside to deal to the feral begonias in my rockery.  They are going mental... just too many of them now.

ABOVE:  That didn't take too long.  All I had to do was snap all the begonia stalks off.  They will grow again I'm sure.  And if they don't, I don't actually mind.  They were taking over the entire area.

After that Stew and I attended a school assembly to see Archer get an end of Year Award.

Now I remember why I hate going to school assemblies!

OMG soooooooooo ...   NOT ME.

ABOVE:  Proud little man.

After that 'ordeal', we came home and had a VERY LATE lunch, and then I got on with another job on my 'to do' list for the day.

I'll show you tomorrow.  Don't hold ya breath, it's not that interesting.  But at least I'll have a photo for tomorrow, right?

I had a shower and washed my hair before going to the school thing, but now I have to have another one.  Cos  I got all dirty outside.  *sigh*

I'm all clean again... and now just chilling out watching the telly.

Today (Day 1 of 14) has gone well.  Sorta.  We had our main meal at around 3 pm today.  And I've felt hungry ever since.

Clearly carbs fill you up and stop you feeling hungry.  I hope my stomach gets used to this new regime soon.

And I'm now off to enjoy the evening.

Catch ya tomorrow.
