Yesterday's Food

Scots are tough, but not being a Scot (only a fraction anyway) I'm a wimp! Can't handle cold.
Daughter's performance was lovely, thanks!
I did find bathing suits for my trip, and can't believe I actually wore them. Not sure if I'll ever wear them again, but I'm glad I had them.

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to. Kahil Gibran Today I am grateful for: shopping with my daughter, doing what I want when I want, having wisdom Hello Lovely Girls, It's going to whip up to around 60 degrees today, although it is a bit cloudy now, it will clear and we shall have a wonderful afternoon:) The children are leaving around five o'clock and peace shall descend:) I am just popping on to write this before I go out. Daughter and I are driving about 40 minutes to a huge shopping centre to put toys on lay-by for Christmas, yes, they let you pay them off between now and then, they have a huge sale and she saves heaps of money:) Yay! We left it for a week since the sale started as neither of us is good in crowds, did they same thing last year and still got heaps of bargains. I shall be in the book section, nana always buys books! They are getting their own libraries slowly but surely:) My motto (well! one of them!) is "A home without books is a home without wisdom":) Hope you girls have a great weekend and get to spend it doing things that you enjoy with people you like:) Love you girls:)
I suppose very few people lose weight just because they have a fat ass--haha! They may have a fat ass, but the motivation doesn't come until they either vainly hate the way they look, feel like sh*t because they can't keep up with hubby/wife, kids or friends or have some ailment that will perhaps be improved by a change in diet and weight. Some of my experience and a bit of 2cents:-)
You've got really good grandkids (obviously) there or you get toys earlier--I doubt the latest and greatest will be in the stores here 'til right before/after Thanksgiving (near the end of November). I agree on the books--always the best bet!
I just can't applaud you enough for LOOKING and FINDING what works. As you've seen here on DDs it doesn't take much for many to simply give up. It's sad. Have great day/evening!
My daughter is having a great time, it's nice to have the daughter of the president in her dance camp: super special treatment wherever they go!

One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest. Maya Angelou
Today I am grateful for: knowing where I came from, knowing what I am doing here, knowing where I am going
Hello Lovely Girls, Another chilly day but maybe a hint of sun. It is so unusual not to have sun for at least part of the day in Sydney it is surprising!! Daughter, the angel and myself have been out shopping this morning and my daughter was following me round the fruit and vegies section and said you have lost weight mom, I can see it around your hips. Nice! This not dieting is working for me and no stress! Yay! Definitely very slow but I wasn't losing weight at all when I was trying hard so I am grateful to have someone else notice that there is a difference:)
I have been requested to make pizza for the boys for afternoon tea/dinner tonight. I am to lazy today to make my own dough though and purchased bases!! Shocking!!! Apparently I make the best pizza in the world!! Gotta love grandchildren:) School holidays start again tomorrow and the children will be at their other grandparents for a week, daughter is looking forward to it. Is it just me or has this year flown by quicker than usual. We are already half way through 2012!! No time to waste if you have plans and goals to achieve, no procrastinating, life does fly by and you wonder where it went:) Not that I am complaining about that, I have achieved just about everything I am able to do that was within my power to achieve:) It is a nice place to be:) I hope you girls finish of the week in champion fashion:) Love you girls:)
Yesterday's Food
hot chocolate, porridge
poached eggs on toast
meat pie
dark chocolate
Yes, I feel I'm in a good place right now, full of energy. I was exercising this evening next to this young and cute thing at the gym and i was going faster and lasted longer on the eliptical than she did. it felt good ;)

Today I am grateful for: the sun shining through fog, cockatoos swirling overhead, a cat on my lap (I am typing one handed)
Hello Lovely Girls, It was a cold but sunny weekend, going for around 64 degrees today:) Nice! As I type the cockatoo's are screeching overhead making a real din and then circling round and returning, beautiful creatures but like you to know they are here!! I had a quiet weekend, except for the clearing of my lungs! Yuk! The angel and her mother are back on antibiotics, the angel for infected ears and her mother for bronchitis. I don't think we will be going out anytime soon, which of course suits my hermit leanings:)
I have my usual day today, a little cleaning, a little baking, a little reading with the angel and afternoon tea with the big kids:) I don't feel as if I have been eating intuitively lately, not thinking enough before eating and considering. I think it is difficult when you don't feel 100%, I shall get back to it seriously today. It does take a clear mind and some pondering to keep in touch with one's body. I hope you girls finish of your weekend well and will have a healthy and happy week. Love you girls:)
Yesterday's Food
hot chocolate
roast chicken, potatoes, carrots, peas, gravy
carrot cake (someone gave it to me at church, she comes from Hawaii and it was delicious)

I also appreciate your thoughts on the friendship with church guy. We'll have to see what happens with it.
Have a great day! I too feel privileged to be part of such a wonderful group, which includes YOU!
Happy Monday!

Today I am grateful for: a sunny morning, happy children, eternal promises
Hello Lovely Girls, Weather is beautiful one day and perfect the next!! Love winter in Sydney:) I took the angel to pre-school this morning and it was really chilly about 3 degrees Celsius, soooo about 37f. I tend not to bother changing clothes between Winter and Summer just long sleeved top to account for the cold and I do wear my jeans in Winter but never in Summer. I was sitting in the car and noticing that my 'measuring' skirt is now gathering a little around my tummy, it felt good:)
A normal day is planned for today, a little baking (white bean blondies today), a little cleaning, afternoon tea with the big kids, and of course, it's Tuesday so Top Model and a sleepover with the princess. I might as well turn off the volume as she gives great commentary all the way through!! LOL Hope you all have a lovely day:) Love you girls:)

Today I am grateful for: a beautiful Winter's day, a cuddly cat, earth angels
Hello Lovely Girls, Forecast around 65 degrees and sunny all week:) Yay! Been away for a few days ....again! We had another ambulance trip to the hospital on Thursday night with my daughter. She collapsed at the bottom of my stairwell, this time it was an allergic reaction, tongue thickening, throat closing over, fortunately the ambulance arrived really quickly and took her away. The eldest boy decided that it was time for him to 'man up' and informed me that he would be going with her. This was the quickest visit in six months only four hours and she was home, antihistamines and steroids counteracted the effects. Soooo grateful we live in a first world country:) Because she has so many other things wrong with her it does tend to knock her around a bit, her heart was tackier than usual all weekend and her blood sugars were all over the place, so I have been mommy and nurse this weekend. The children were at their dad's so that worked out well.
Food has not been good this weekend. There are only so many worries I can cope with before I need comforting food, so I had some! And it did make me less anxious and comforted, plus I don't feel guilty! I hope you girls had a healthier and less stressful weekend than I did and that we all have a happy and healthy week:) Love you girls:)

Have a great day, umm...evening...or night, Moogy!
Aye, it shocks me when I visit the US now and the huge portions served of fatty/sugary/additives and so much of it being touted as healthy! It didn't help that my sister had all these leftover packets of potato chips! And ate lots of meat as well. And drank lots of beer. Hmm...wonder why I gained weight? LOL. Well, it's coming off quickly, so no complaints.

I have learned to cut and paste everything on this website before I press the post button. I've learned the hard way too!!! It seems so quirky! Hope you have a wonderful day!!

I just addressed your comment on my new entry, but your prediction is right on haha! My philosophy is not to hold back or deprive myself on vacation, but not to go overboard crazy either. Moderation seems to be a practice that works well for me in so many areas of my life ;) Have a good one!

I hate when I lose an entry! I hear you about begrowing up without air....I did too and I had an attic bedroom growing up until around age 15. We are spoiled in USA because everything is airconditioned. Weather here is terribly hot in the summer and we are in the middle (southeastern US)of the states. It gets so humid here. But we can't count on any kind of weather because we are in the middle it can do anything at anytime and can change at the drop of your hat! We aren't miserable, but it will be soon unless we have it fixed/replaced.
