I have bought this Junior exercise bike for R, I am hoping it arrives within the next week or so. I spotted it on a UK web site called GymKids. I know we need to get her out and more active outside the home but am hoping she will use this and it will help. It is for ages 7 to 11.
Well
I've stayed the same yet again and am quite dissapointed. I realise I
have to be that litttle bit better with my food and try to do some exercise
each and every day even if it's only 20 minutes. Starting today I am going
to do a walk after lunch for half an hour.
Neil's brother is paying a flying visit tomorrow (he is
driving from Manchester/from London where he is staying for a flight stopover
on his way back to Algeria - he lives in Australia but works in Algeria
- he has on work stuff I think.
Anyway, R is desperate to see her uncle, whom she saw once about 5 years
ago on a previous visit. Her teacher said yes we can keep her off in the
morning for her to see him since it will probably be a long long time
till he visists again. J has a German oral exam in the morning and is
catching the bus to the village,, getting off there and hoping to catch
Philip still in Bill and Maries (Neil's mum and dads).
I have been busy this morning tidying
- where on earth does all the crap come from and more to the point where
can I put it all? Boy if ever I won the lottery I would get a house with
PLENTY of storage space.
Not sure if I will be able to fit a walk in just now but I did say to
R that after she had had a small snack and a sit down that before tea
we would go for a short walk (we are going to try and do this several
times a week)
Tuesday 5th June
It's
lovely and sunny out. Another warm day.J has got an English exam this morning (not German). HAve joined a forum with people on it who are taking Reductil, it seems really helpful and it is very supportive, I am going to take the Red. a bit later on in the morning, making sure it is working into the evening as this is the time I am getting hungrier and more likely to over-snack.
Last night I scoffed some Matchmakers, mint ones. Not too many but.............,well I just needed some chocolate!
Me
and the kids earlier with Neil's mum and dad and Neil's brother Philip
(who is here for a few hours before returning to work in Algeria - he
lives in Australia, eemigrated about 15 yrs ago with his wife and 2 children.
It was lovely to see him.
R in the back garden with Bill and Philip (before going to school after
lunch)
The kids and Philip
If we won the lottery I would most definately love to go over to Australia and visit them all. R enjoyed seeing her 'Australian' uncle, she remembered him from last time even though it was quite some years ago.
Still Tue 5th May
Neil sent for a pair of 'petite' jeans for me (me being
not quite 5ft) as a surprise. Which is really nice of him
Except
he sent for a pair size 18. Now I might look like a size 18 but am actually
a 14 to 16. Anyway I tried them on, too big, I could get them on and off
without unfastening them!
A size 14
would have been a bit too tight and a 16 would have been fine, even though
I hate to have a 16 (I want to be a 10 to 12).
Wednesday 6th May 2007
How
I would've liked to relax this afternoon but didn't!
Waited by the bus stop to come home (too hot to walk) and I could easily have nodded off in the heat (apart from all the traffic noise and other people chattering).
I closed my eyes and was just daydreaming of being somewhere beautiful and peaceful and relaxing
Being
good on diet, just wish I had a little bit more energy! Though am doing
an hours dance class tonight.Thursday 7th May 2007
Weight - 10 st 3 lbs
(143 lbs)
Loss - 1 lb
Weighed
myself this morning (for the reductil site) and yeah I lost another lb.Another sunny day out there. I am aiming to walk half way to work (or rather get dropped off halfway there).
Ha, I never end up doing the things I meant to do, so I never did walk halfway, it got too late (R again being a slowcoach in the morning).
It's 6pm, feel bloated am sure I am 10 lbs heavier now!
We
are planning on going to PortSunlight today. Neil used to work here many
years ago. It is just a village, a very pretty one and it has an Art Gallery.
This
is the Lever Art Gallery.A selection of pics from our day out today in PortSunlight, we had a really nice time and went to the garden centre and the Art Gallery and sat by the big fountain and got sprayed with lovely cool water! Gosh it was hot out.
