Weighing in

I made it to weigh in this week and with some trepidation I hesitantly stepped onto the scale. A loss !!! Much to my surprise, only 200 grams but still a loss, with the inlaws visit and feeling a little blue at times this week my eating habbits have not been the best. I am finding my weight loss journey this time round a little difficult. Being home with my beautiful girls all the time and Ad working longs hours and often saturdays exercise is not easy to fit in and cooking meals that suit all of us on the odd occasion can be a little tricky. The last time I lost alot of weight (50kgs) I was single, carefree and working 5 days a week. I only had to cook meals for myself, could excercise anytime I want and at work I was busy so no temptation to eat food I shouldn't. I would walk to and from work each day.

Well enough reminising about the old days. Don't get me wrong I love my life and my family I just occassionaly miss being carefree and no responsiblities exept for myself. I have had a busy week this week I discovered a lump on my 3 year olds shoulder blade so feeling a little worried off we went to the doctors. After a long wait and a quick visit with the doctor he diagnised an exostosis. What is this you may well ask. Well it is a piece of bone that has grown on another bone. The doctor did say not to worry it will not cause her any problems but just to be sure his diagnosis is correct we left with a referal for an xray. So the next day off we went to get the xray done. We arrive at the imaging rooms closest to home a short walk away only  to be told we had to go to the next suburbs rooms as they prefer not to do childrens chests with their old equipment which is not a priorety to be updated any time soon.So short walk home and a drive to the next suburb for our xray, miss three was of course in a bad mood by now having to miss playgroup was giving me grief in the car until we found a park 20 mins later. Then a quick xray a jaunt in the park to pick miss three up and off home. Alls good or so I think until later a call from the doctor saying the xray was inconclusive we better have an ultrasound.  So the next day off to the doctors to pick up the new referal and a phone call to make an appointment only to be told none availably yet and we will have to wait for a call for the next available appointment at one of their rooms. So we will wait.

So now I am mid week again and have been to busy to worry about me and looking after myself will have to try hard for the next few days so as not to gain weight which seems to be a pattern for me, loose for 2 weeks gain the next. Maybe i will aim for some sort of exercise in the next few days ?? Not sure what though will have to get imaginative with 2 little girls and rain outside. Stay tuned to find out what I did for exercise
