Nothing to get excited about!

Well a piddly 100g this week and I've been sick AGAIN - I'm fed up being sick!! I copped what seems to have been a 24 hour virus - horrendous nausea and the dreaded diarrhea - was worried that it might be a recurrence of my Hong Kong episode but it seems to have gone again - in fact now suffering from the opposite extreme - sometimes you feel you just can't win!

Anyway here's the chart

So Steps - Well I forgot to put on my pedometer on Tuesday and Friday I came home sick at 10am and spent the rest of the day and night in bed. Exercise - I took sick in the middle of the night so didn't get up and run on Friday morning and wasn't quite up to it on Saturday either. Water, Points and Tracking all got their full quota of ticks - although points were incredibly low for Friday as I didn't eat a single thing all day and only had a piece of dry toast and a poached egg at night just to try and put something in my stomach. Then Saturday night we were invited out for dinner - didn't do anything too drastic but had to just guestimate points and have probably erred on the high side. Alcohol has featured a few times this week - couple of big days at work so had a couple of wines of an evening mid week - then out again at the weekend. However they are all counted in my points - in the past I've been known to be quite forgetful about including them - didn't chew it so it won't count!!!!!

I'm feeling a bit frustrated today - was actually down a bit further over the weekend but shot back up again this morning. I'm really conscious of the fact that I've really just been marking time for about 8 weeks now but I'm just not quite getting it all together. However I'll just soldier on and hopefully manage a couple more kilos before going on holiday. TOM sort of arrived last Monday but so light it was hardly worth noting, then disappeared totally for a couple of days then popped in again yesterday - that was the first for around 4 months- and I've been erratic for the past couple of years so maybe this was just a farewell flutter - here's hoping!

It's been a fairly ordinary kind of a week - don't mind them now and again - gives you a chance to regroup and catch up on things. Ran around a bit at the beginning of the week fixing up Josh's bike - No 2 son bought him one for Christmas but the training wheels (which he bought separately) were just a bit too short and Josh was riding on an angle on one training wheel which made it incredibly hard to pedal. So Granny decided that before I dropped his bike back home after his visit to us last week, that I'd call by the bike shop and see what could be done. Another set of training wheels and some clever adjustment by the man in the bike shop and it's heaps better. Had Curtis for most of yesterday - No 1 son was working and DIL had Little Athletics with Josh and it's such a long time for Curtis to be stuck in his pusher so he had some 'granny time' - thoroughly enjoyed by both of us.

Fun week ahead - Bloss it taking off to Brisbane from Thursday to Saturday to catch up with his No 2 son - the one from New Mexico - who is going to be in town briefly. He'll stay with his No1 son so it will be a wonderful opportunity to have some father/son time with no other time claimers like wives and children. A close friend is coming up from Brisbane on Friday night for a 'girlsz weekend', so there will be a lot of dining out and probably a wine or two consumed between then and Sunday afternoon when she flies back. We'll all be staying at my friend S's place - she's lives in town so better placed for taxis etc. The three of us try and get together every six months or so and it's been a while since the last one so really looking forward to a good girly gossip and catch up - we're all nutty as fruitcakes so there will be plenty of laughs and nonsense.

OK everyone - hope you're having a good week - catchya!
