Yay!!!
Feeling so cheerful today.
Thanks for all the comments lately guys. Sorry I haven't got around to reading and commenting on everyones blogs lately but I have actually been having to do lots of work at work and it is very stressful :O)
Anyway went to a stupid travel expo last night. It suxed. I want money off my ticket not $400 extra free for hotels if I spend $1000 on hotels. Not a whole $50 off a ticket to Italy. I didn't even want their free food and alcohol! (although in hindsight not sure why I turned that down). So we ended up staying there for about 1/2 hour and went back to Mum and Dad's place to work out a game plan. Today (this is why I am so excited) we rung and booked our tickets. We know have dates, times and know where stop overs are etc. I can't wait. It really has brought home the fact that I am going overseas next year!
Sad news though today :o( BF was talking to my ex workmate who has cancer. Not looking good. If he has no treatment he has 3 months to live. If he does he has max of 13 months. I cried. The poor guy is gone from being so active about a month ago to only be able to work half days (if that) and not being able to walk around the block. His daughter has just given birth to his very first grandbaby and now he is not even sure he is going to make it to his 1st birthday party :o(
Anyway ... results from yesterday:
Points Allowed: 20
Points Used: 15 1/2
Points Allowed This Week: 140
Total Points Used: 28 1/2
Exercise: 3 x 10 minute walks during breaks at work
Not as much exercise as I wanted to do so got up early and went for an hour walk before work. Have another hour walk planned tonight while C2 is at tai kwon do.
Thanks for the advice re low point days. I am just really trying to get back into following points and unfortunately if I am not strict on myself I eat far to much. I find it much easier to use only 15 points a day than use 20 (dunno why). Today I am going to finish on 19 points which is better :o)
Best go and do more work! and then head out for my walk

So sorry about your friend.
well done on the walk before work! How exciting that your are planning your trip.
Did you count walking around the expo? That counts too you know :)
Planning holidays is the best. Well second best, going on the holiday is the best.
LOL at Kathryn! I wanna go on holiday too!!!!!
So sad about your friend, let us know if he decides to have the treatment or not.
19 points does sound much better!
Yaaay for being happier today. And whilst it is very very sad about your friend, the very best silver lining that I can come up with (because I apply it every day to my Mum) is that your friend has the opportunity to say goodbye to his loved ones, and they to him. He can tie up loose ends and leave this world in a very happy and calm state. Not everyone has that opportunity.
Yaaaay for booking your trip. How exciting :)
