With it being a new year and all that I didn't bother with a resolution. I know I won't keep one so what's the point in torturing yourself?
But I am starting back at Slimming World on Wednesday. I got all my excess weight off with it before and kept it off for over a year - I could blame putting weight back on on Tommy getting sick, and it didn't help eating take-aways between hospital visits, but the only thing I can realistically blame is myself and my lack of will power - and the only person who can fix it is me! I would like to lose at least 2 stone by the time we go to Florida in August - if I could manage to lose 3 I would be even happier! I would weigh less than my target weight the first time around!
To this end I splashed out on EA Sports Active 2 with heart monitor and resistance band for the xbox Kinect - a bargain in Argos, £46 instead of £60 in Game. I thought I would have a go this evening but it took that long to set up that our dinner was ready before I'd started to exercise. The good news is my resting heartbeat (well setting up the stupid game not sat on my ass) is 68 bpm which is pretty good for an overweight, 40-something woman. I must remember to wear a sports bra when I go to exercise though..........................
It's back to work tomorrow for me - I am not unhappy about going back but it's always a chore the first day back. Jack goes back to school too. I will have the car because Tommy is off until Thursday. He has a hospital appointment on Wednesday so I will be on leave to drive him as it's his last eye appointment since he was ill - hopefully. So back to work for a whole day, then a day off and back for 2 days so not a bad start to 2011 workwise.
I went to Hillmount Garden Centre this afternoon - without hubby and son because they can't stand going there. I was hoping to get a couple of bargains in the craft section but there was nothing that was in the sale - even the Christmas stuff was still the original prices - so didn't get much, just some nice paper flowers. I was hoping to get the new Docraft Creativity magazine which came out on 1st January, but of course it wasn't there! Talk about a wasted journey. Oh well I am sure I can make a detour on Wednesday and get it at the craft shop on the way home from the hospital. The sooner they start selling that magazine in shops the happier I will be!
I put my new calender up today - since I took the old one down and put it back up again my mistake - DOH!!!
I only have 2 male birthday cards to make for January and the first is 2 weeks away so I still have time to tidy the spare room aka the craft room. I did start sorting it out but I ran out of enthusiasm for it...... I will try again at the weekend!
Wish me luck for my first day back at work tomorrow.
