HUMP DAY

Howdy, how is everyone's weeks going? apart from a mucusy cough im feeling ten times better than earlier in the week, even got out for a walk last night, zara loved me for it too! had a naughty icecream sweets though, not the low fat one either.. so smacks for that. and treated myself to a rumball for morning tea this morning - biggest morning tea here at work so that wasnt too bad. and its ttom next week so i usually include a bit of chocolate this week. my main thing is getting my health back on track this week and making my portion sizes smaller again so thats my focus. going well too, going to bed hungry which is good. my ring starts to get really loose when im lower on the scales too and its practically falling off today so im hoping i can sustain a pretty good week, include some exercise in there and not go off the rails at the weekend.

heading to yea saturday for netball and footy, chappys out with injury and im a maybe... will see how i go at training tomorrow night. then on to melbourne for one of my best friend emmas 24th birthday, we are staying at my other best friend kates house so it will be so good to catch up with both of them and be able to have a drink too, havent in so long. but it still wont be a messy night which is good. cant wait. as long as im still healthy at the end of the week!!

1.3 from goal again, its getting a bit exciting and daunting, i can definitely see myself making my personal goal of 72-73 now too. My friends in melbourne havent seen me for a long time so it will be nice to show off the new me on the weekend, ive got a new outfit and all so that will be pretty special! not that they loved me any differently being overweight that is.

Bridesmaids are getting their measurements and everything taken friday night too, so their dresses can start getting made, thats exciting!! a few more months and i go back down to get mine fitted again and any alterations made. I still cant believe that the size i ordered was a 12 and that was five kilos ago... so ill be getting a size 12 altered down.. sureal or what!

I think I have to keep up the positives and realisation of how far ive come, to keep me on track, i have a few slip ups or have a gain and get a bit complacent and think im a failure, and thats the difference between success and failure, how we get over things, i think.

We have had a few things added to our social calander in july now.. so junes full every weekend, - big things too, 30ths, engagements, winery walk about stuff like that. and then july has two weekends gone already as well. So ive scheduled out the other two as KEEP FREE - (ten points for trying) so ill see what happens there... anything big we should know about by now so we should be able to keep it free, then august is giong to have to be quiet because september is footy and netty finals, and the local and afl grandfinal days, then my sisters 21st, dads 50th and hens night and stuff in october.. its honestly making me tired thinking about it all, as im sure it is reading about it... so bring on quiet august - i say!!!

Lucky i decided to get to goal through out all these massive weekends as well, otherwise id be waiting till august to get some quiet time. its all about choices though, so i have to make the right ones over all these big weeeknds and ill be right, because really thats what life is all about and we are always going to have stuff on, and thats fun so i cant complain!! as long as im taking care of myself thats the main thing.. dont want to keep getting sick and run into the ground, so 'yes dad i am looking after myself...'!

Tea at sarahs tonight, i might take some more pics of little ashton, he's so big now! im doing a few hours study and then we will head out for a roast - yum! so ill be getting lots of cuddles, he came in before with sarah and played in my office for a bit! he's only 11 weeks but such an alert little thing. ill also get lots more photos this weekend with my friends in melbourne so ill be sure to post them next week! i guess thats one good thing for you to look forward to over the next few busy weeks - lots of photos!!!! i have over 200 on my camera at the moment so i really have to go get them developed, i need a new album every time i do theres that many!!

Anyway enough rambling, hope ive passed some time for you anyway - time to go get a roll in a minute, making a yummy salad roll for lunch, looking forward to it. have a good day everyone and ill be in touch, take care, make good choices and love life - we only get one shot, love yourself too, or no one else will be able to! xx
