OK, I've been 'dieting' for a week now and, according to my scales, I have lost about 2.5kg. This feels pretty good, and is to be expected at the beginning, although I would be surprised if it continued to drop off at this rate. The thing that surprises me most is that I am not craving the sugary, fatty foods I am forsaking at all, and am feeling pretty damn virtuous and healthy - all the fruit, veges and copious drinks of water gotta do it!! If ever I get the urge to nibble on a biscuit with the kids or grab a processed snack in a rush, I think for a minute about what this food can offer my body and it's easy to resist after that.
I have joined the gym but have yet to fork out for the membership, and I figure that this pre-Christmas week is too crazy to be starting at the gym properly so I will do all that next week, no really! The people seem nice there and the atmosphere seems friendly - we'll see soon anyway. I figure that there's no point in dropping the weight if I'm still in my usual couch potato mode so I hope to get there at least 3 times each week. A lot will ride on Fraz helping me out in the evenings and I have barely seen him for several days now! Hopefully things will settle down for him at work once the Christmas madness abates.
Lockie's last day of school today, and only a half day at that. So I am mentally preparing myself this morning and enjoying the last morning of calm for a l-o-n-g time. He's a lovely boy but needs a fair bit of maintenance, as 5-year-old kids often do! Bella's not so good at having her naps when he's home too; he's just so darned exciting! Speaking of Bell, she woke me at 5:30am today [yawn] even though it was a great day for sleeping in - rainy and overcast. Must teach her about the weather and staying cosy in bed...
Tomorrow night Meg arrives from Sydney!!!! Can't wait to see her...if you had a twin, you'd understand.
