This week has been soo busy yet I don't seem to have achieved anything! I still have masses of ironing to do and I didn't do any yoga this week. I really must make time to get things and myself in order.
I have been really picky with food and found myself nibbling lots, Needless to say, I have spend at least the past few days paying points back. It paid off though as I managed a half pound loss. I am very pleased with that.
On Saturday, we went out for ice cream with Simon's Mum. I wasn't going to have one at first and then I decided that there was no point doing this whole weightloss thing if I would never allow myself a treat. I had one scoop of cherry ice cream in a tub, whilst everyone else had cones too. I pointed it as 6 points just to be on the safe side - this was real country ice cream from the farm shop so very rich and creamy. It was delicious and I loved every mouthful! They have a play area there and we had a lovely afternoon just watching the children play.
On Sunday, we went to the Splash Club for the first time in what seemed like forever. It is only on once a fortnight and we had moved and then Simon and the children had been unwell so we had missed a few. It was good to be back in the water and in a swimsuit 2 sizes smaller!!! I am definately going to try to get to swimming once a week on my own and once with Daniel (to help strengthen his legs). I really enjoy it and I felt like I really worked this week as Megan was trying to swim breadths with only her armbands for the first time. In the end she managed 2 complete breadths so we were all chuffed with that.
Basically, I need to get off my bum and my activity head on and start doing more. Things are draining with all the hours we put in with Daniel and I often don't feel like doing much more than flopping when I get some time - but I do know how much the excersise is worth it. I think I need to become more efficent with my housework, I am tidy and relatively houseproud but don't often get as much done at once as I should really. If I get my act in gear with that I will have more time to excercise without leaving it until an evening when I am too exhausted.
So this week I have decided I am going to be more organised and just get things done so that I can get some excercise fitted in on a morning, when Daniel is at nursery. That is my goal for this week. Maybe if I do that then all the extra activity might just boost my weightloss so that I can be under 18 stone when we go out for Simon's Dad's birthday. I will do my best to work hard this week and keep my fingers crossed but I think 4lbs is asking a bit much. We shall see and any extra loss will be great.
So as promised I am off to get busy while I have a little time before Dan wakes up again. I am going to go and get my invitations started for our Renewal of Vows ceremony.
Have a good week everyone

I'm tired just reading all that. It's easy to forget how full on life can be when your children are young. The only way I can be organised enough to get done what I want to in a day is to list it all out then as you say, just get through it and cross them all off, even listing the exercise as a job to make sure it's not pushed back till everything else is done, when I might be too tired to want to do it.
