Crikey!
Time certainly flies by when you are having fun huh??
I really need to update more, or just dump the whole blog...
I haven't had much motivation for updating lately, I've had so much typing work over the past few weeks, that the last thing I want to do is actually sit down and voluntarily type...
Plus, I have made a rule for myself that while Jaynie is awake, I don't use the computer (although she is wide awake at the moment completely engrossed in a puzzle that she flatly refuses to let me help her with).
Little Miss Independent :)
And since the little minx has decided to drop one of her day sleeps - I knew it would happen sooner or later, I just wasn't expecting it this soon - it means that I have gone from having 2 x 2 hours for typing, to having 1 x 2 hour block.
It certainly limits the amount of work I can take on, but as long as the little Princess is happy - who cares huh??

After my last post about giving up carbs - I failed miserably!
Well, actually, I was 100% successful for about a week, I felt great, my tummy wasn't bloated, I had more energy..... and THEN I failed miserably!
I went for a drink with some friends, ended up completely overindulging, and pigging out of chippies.
So then the next day when the hangover hit, it was carbs that I craved, and carbs is what I had!
And from there on, it was just a slippery slope and I started eating toast and bread again!
DUMB DUMB DUMB!
So.... here I am AGAIN, ready to give up wheat/carbs again...
I know that i feel better when I'm not bloated, I know that the number on the scales comes down, I know that I have more energy, and I know that I am in a way better mood, so now it's just a matter of doing it!
ARGH!!!!
Part of it is the alcohol, I know this.
I have been drinking far too much wine lately, so it's time to make a conscious effort NOT to drink it!
It's too easy to have a glass while cooking dinner, then before I know it, the entire bottle is gone and I've got the munchies!!
So.... I don't HAVE to drink, so I'm not going to.
I'm not even going to restock the wine supplies in the house either!
If we have visitors drop in, then they will just have to be happy with a coffee :)

Rhian is due back today - she is growing up in to a really cool kid!
Chris has moved in with his girlfriend and she has a son the same age as Rhian (plus an older daughter) and they have rules at their house - it's great!
I think that in the past she has been allowed to get away with quite a bit, and we have tried to enforce the same rules at each house, but it was always a bit tough at times.
Now, she can see that other kids DO actually have rules and jobs to do and she is taking that all on board... It's great to see her blossom :)

What else?
Not a lot.... I NEED to get on top of my eating and health.
My weight was barrelling towards triple digits again, and I just CAN'T go back there again!
I just CAN'T!
