THE WEEK IN REFLECTION

Pulled my act together last week after feeling miserable over the weekend and the week flew by in a haze of frantic activity. The week before I had set myself a 4 week challenge. Drew up a spreadsheet to record points for doing the right thing. Points are rewarded for good eating, for water consumption, eating frut and vegetables and exercising. Set a target to exercise every day for the 4 weeks. I have now changed the challenge to 5 weeks. Not sure what the reward will be but with a little bit of luck and a lot of effort I will be off this plateau I have been hovering around all year. The focus however is not about the scales but on basically living in a healthy way and feeling good each day when I can record positive results.

EXERCISE THIS WEEK:
Kickboxing class, step class, 1000 stairs, 60 min running session x 2, 4km walk, tone and sculpt class, 30mins trampoline, body pump class.
Also many hours gardening, cleaning out the garage, cleaning out the gutters, etc, in preparation for DS2 21st Birthday party next sat night. Still a lot to do to get organised for that.
I need you all to use whatever influence you have to keep the good weather till after the party as we are having it outside. DS1 band will be entertaining us from the garage and we have made a huge balloon net canopy for the "dance" area. Not sure what we will do if the weather turns bad.
My office girl was off sick most of last week which was difficult as I had wnated time off to spend with DD as she had only the 1 week off from school. The office girl is now on Annual Leave so I have her work to do as well as my own so I am definitely keeping busy. This allows little time for worrying so I am sure the time to the Drs visit will fly by. I have so many great things coming up to look forward to and the best course of action is to just deal with whatever comesnd I was again spoilt and quite overwhelmed when another blogging friend sent me a beautiful flower arrangement that arrived at my office 10 minutes BEFORE I posted my whingy post. Mental telepathy knowing I was feeling down and bothering to do something about it. It just amazes me how caring some people are. THANKYOU!!
As I said to my trainer when we did the 1000 stairs life is a rollercoaster and the ups are made even better by surviving the downs.
Had a lovely dinner for my sisters birthday on Sat night at a winery in Sunbury. Food was simple but delicious. I had made my sister a scrap album about my dad who is deceased and we had a wonderful time sharing our memories. He was a very special man and we both miss him every day. The album took hours over a few weeks and I made one for myself as well. It really was good though looking back through old pictures and then producing the album was like celebrating his life and our love for him.
Well better get back to work. Have a great week everyone.
