Och Spots!

C2 woke up with spots this morning. Not pimple spots and not just a few of them. He hadn't been feeling himself yesterday and was a bit itchy (he does have quite bad excema so we didn't take much notice of that) but this morning he woke up and had spots on his face. We had a look and he actually has spots from head to toe. I have never seen anything like it! I called the Healthline but they weren't really that useful ... 'do they look like chicken spot spots?' .. 'I dunno I have never seen chicken pox' ... 'you don't have to take him to the doctor but you can if you want to' .. that sorta thing. We took him to the doctor! Apparently it was an allergic reaction to something he has eaten or a combination of what he has eaten. He was given some medicine and we were sent on our way. He was very miserable over tea tonight and has been very itchy throughout the day. I hope he manages to get some sleep tonight :O(

Eating has been a bit of a mixed bag this weekend. I have made some bad choices but made up for it with my teas (which has included home made pumpking soup and two big plates of vegetables). I haven't tracked all weekend which I regret and have probably eaten about a million points each day. But on the bright side I went on a huge walk today and mowed lawns/weeded gardens yesterday, I have also eaten 3 servings plus per day, had heaps of water and still haven't touched diet coke. I don't feel guilty about it though. I know I can make up for it this week and writing it down here doesn't make it seem so bad. The scales are still going in the right direction and tomorrow is the start of a brand new diet week for me ..... things could be worse!

Daylight savings started this weekend which is great! I love daylight savings. Walking in the dark doesn't do much for me .. I feel rather uncomfortable about it so having more daylight hours has got to be a bonus.

Thanks for all the comments about goal weights. I haven't made a clear cut decision yet but have decided to get down to 65kgs and reassess how I feel. I do have to tone up my flabby bits though which will make a huge difference to how I feel about myself and how I look. I am determined to get back into my weights programme. Any other suggestions for toning flabby bodies are gratefully accepted!

Before I wrap this up for the night just thought I would spare a prayer for all the people killed, injured and affected in the Bali bombings this weekend. It never ceases to disgust me what others can do to innocent people :O(
