Weekend Update
Wow! What a cool weekend we had - we had such a great time that none of us wanted to come home! Tried to do some shopping but didn't really work. Couldn't find anything that I liked really which was rather depressing. Ending up buying a nice camesole top and some cool boy leg knickers (ones with ducks and the other with turtles! so cute!). BF and C2 were really good about being dragged around all the clothes shops so I was very lucky. The weird thing about clothes shopping lately is I can't judge my size at all. BF and I would both look at the same thing and I would decide I would try something on - I would grab a size 18 or XL and he would grab 14's and mediums! He was always closest! My brain has obviously not caught up with my body yet!
Today I went and bought some more new jeans and a pair of board shorts. I have not owned shorts for years so quite nerve wracking ... but does mean I can work on my tan! Yay for that.
Eating wasn't too bad over the weekend. Considering I actually gave myself the weekend off I actually didn't do to badly at all. I didn't really pig out at all (except for a few ice creams) and just unconsciously made healthy choices with my food. It was a very good feeling! The scales were slightly up this morning but I am not stressing cos I am determined to have a fantastic week this week.
So my new goal is simple - I want to be 65kgs at Christmas. I am not going to make this complicated - I am simply going to stick to my points each day and exercise as much as I can. I am about to write a list of easy, yummy and point friendly meals that I can use as a guide for teas to try and spice things up a bit. I seem to be sticking to the same food at the moment and am getting bored with it. I love stir frys so am going to get those cranking again and am thinking panini breads, buns, meats and salads. Am also going to try out some new recipes too.
S0 that is it really. I have a busy week again. C2 is at tai kwon do two nights this week so I have two evenings of walking (while I wait for him to finish). BF and I are going to counselling tomorrow evening which will be interesting -it isn't counselling as such - we are just off to see a counsellor to get parenting advice. And then of course the big meeting on Thursday. I will have Thursday as a point free day but will try and eat as healthy as possible again.
Had better go and do some more work! (and look forward to my lovely evening walk at 6)

Good luck with your goal. Great idea to make some new and exciting meals. Sometimes I seem to get stuck in a rut of having the same foods.
Your new clothes sound wonderful. I love turtles LOL And how cool that your BF has worked out what size you really are. You need to let yourself believe that you have achieved a wonderful thing and that you really are many sizes smaller now.
Your Christmas goal is very achievable and you have a great plan of attack. Good luck this week :)
great goal & so cool that the bf pick in size was right! well done on the loss & have a great wk!
