Cheated

And big time... not only did I have a little candy at school... I had McDonald's for dinner... bummer! Why did I do it? Plus, I didn't get to go running since I had to take Paula to the ER... well... tomorrow will be a better day I'm sure!

Tired

I am tired today... Pol wakes up at night and I go to bed late. It's 10.30 pm now... maybe I shouldn't be blogging and should be in bed... I really need to rest some or else...

Things at work are good although the 5s are not interested in the new project and are being pesty, oh well... ho-hum!

Been good food wise yet one more day. Hoping for a nice run tomorrow. I know I'll be tired when I go but I'll go anyway! Need to do my strength training... I'm sure it would improve my performance a lot!

Kids are good, Paula's still hoarse and not as lively as usual but otherwise ok.

Not much more... going to look for a CD... will need lots of luck!

A good day

Well, just that... a good day... work was good. I like my coworkers very much, we make a good team. We work hard and I'm seing results... I'm happy!

Kids are great... love them to bits. Paula went to gym and had a great time. School was good too! Jan was good and happy. And Pol was super sweet and very empathic (if the word exists...), he's great! What a lucky mom I am!

And I went for a run... I clocked 3.28 miles in 40:19. Slow but a bit better... loved my run... hard at the beginning but then, it went on its own...it was great. Can't wait for the race on the 29th... I imagined my Paula crossing the finish line with me and my eyes watered... too bad they won't be there. I'd love them to be... it'd be sooooooooooooo special to have them with me!

So all in all a good day... have no veg/salad at home now so I guess it'll be fruit for dinner!

Off to have a shower... I well deserve it!

Another day

Yet another day... just a day... been good food wise... haven't had the yogurts though... I just coulnd't face them, but nothing forbidden today!

Had a few things done... finally sent the photos in to be printed so my lovely daughter will be super happy! I have played with the kids, fed Pol mid-afternoon to see if he was in better spirits... he just wanted to go to bed! Spoon fed him at night. We'll see how that goes... he loved it though! He's growing sooooooooooo fast... my baby...

Lovely run yesterday. Hoping for another one tomorrow. Only 19 days til race day... so exciting, yet so nervous!

Paula's been reading in English understanding everything she read... I'm over the moon!

I love my kids... they're the best thing that's ever happenned to me... thank you babes!

A good did

Monday again... back to work. Work went good. Did lots of stuff and love my work mates. The kids weren't too bad and the 2 worse ones of all weren't there so it was quite pleasant.

I was good food wise today. Wasn't hungry at all so that's good, very good! I did have a little extra yesterday but I think I'm not overdoing it at all!

I went for a run. I felt tired, my legs feel really tired but did my best time yet. Nothing to shoot rockets about but made up for my run on Friday and my disappointment after it. I just love the feeling after running... it's amazing! I had an energy gel before going. I don't think it did anything then again, I don't know what would've happenned if I hadn't taken it! Running my 10K on the 29th... only 20 days to go! Counting today's run, I should get 9 runs in before the 10K so hopefully I get there in good shape!

Really tired so off to bed I go, it's 11 pm, bout time I went, right?

I'm going to do this, I can do this... control is my pending subject... being able to control when there's good food about but easy does it. I hope I've lost a bit more before my 39th birthday on the 28th. The race is my self present! I think running with my brother will be great even if I only see him at the beginning and then at the end where he'll be waiting for me!

I can do it!

Been bad...

Hello! I'm here again... it's been a few days I think.

I am really tired so I should really be heading to bed but I thought I'd update first. It's been a good week at work. Things are falling into place and it's so much nicer and *easier* (as easy as it can get). I'm enjoying it and loving my work mates.

Both Paula and Pol had a temperature yesterday but have been ok today. Let's hope they're on the mend! Jan's been soft but holding on.

Run 3 times this week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Didn't go today cause we've been out all day and got home too late. It was late, cold and I was exhausted. My runs were good. I took a *test* on Friday to see how far I could go pushing it. I was disappointed... I thought I'd have run faster but no... a bit discouraging, then again, I guess I was tired from running Monday and Wednesday and after not having run 10 days before that. Anyway, that was the run and it's now time to look ahead and never back. The thing is that I have the 10K on the 29th and right now I feel like I won't be able to do it :(

I saw the doc about my leg and he said it's fine but it hurts a bit... I'll see how it feels on my next runs. Also saw the nutritionist. I'm 5k down so that's good! Also saw a trainer and he'll design my very own training program, thus the *test* I took on Friday. With the data I gave him, he'll design a program to fit my needs. Can't wait!

Controled my eating all week but failed today. Went to a friends house and after having a salad for lunch I have some ice cream and some chocolate biscuits in the pm... oh well... time to look ahead again and be good, keeping on track!

Hoping to run 3 times next week too at least. Got to get ready for my 10K with my bro... it's going to be great having him with me although he'll take off and we'll meet again at the end!

Ok, gotta get things ready for the am. I'll keep updating. Need to chin up... a good rest would do!

Falling off the wagon...

Hi! It's been a little while... been away and just have had no time for anything. But now I have a moment so... here I am!

My little Pol, my little baby's 1 already... he was one on Friday... now, how on earth did that happen? Time's gone by way too fast... not while at it but looking back... my gosh... a year ago I was at hospital. Pol was a tiny baby that could do nothing on his own and look at him now... I so treasure those memories!

Ok... it's been the city's fair so we only had a 3 day week (working wise) last week and it was special with special things planned everyday which made it even more special. Loved it as children had lots of fun!

On Thursday we headed for Port Aventura, a huge amusement park about 2 hours drive from us. The kids had an absolut blast... it was just sooooooooo worth it... such a lovely family time together! Instead of going to the fair in town which is filthy and expensive we went over and slept over too. Found a great offer and can't wait to have that offer again and go back. Seing the spark in my kid's eyes was priceless!!! Loved every minute of it although Paula was scared of the vampires... after all it was Halloween!!!! So we went on Thurs and came back on Fri. The night at the hotel was great and in the am we were all awake waiting for birthday boy to wake up... too funny... he made us wait until 8:45, what a champ!

Yesterday was a very easy day... not much except taking baby to the docs... a double ear infection... decided to take his temp as I felt him hot, otherwise, no symptoms! He's been ok since except for today at snack time when he's thrown it all up... he had a temp again, which he hadn't had since yesterday... shocking to say the least. Thanks heaven for Dalsy (ibuprofen), he's happy as can be! Will be taking antibiotic for a week and hopefully he's feeling all better tomorrow... also 2 teeth, actually 3, coming through... poor fella, all at once!

We went to the fair today just to take a look. We had told the kids no rides since we had gone to the amusement park already and 2 days in a row but we said just 1 ride and they were thrilled although they could tell the difference! They had a blast and were so thankful we let them go on that one ride. They're really cute! I loved the food and crafts fair, as usual, although there were lots less stalls due to the crisis, still it was very nice and we went early enough not to find lots and lots of people on *the* day, since the whole province is in the city!

We've spent the afternoon at home since Pol had a temperature again. We did blow a candle for his 1st birthday and we sang happy birthday to him... he's such a cutie pie! Now dad's taken Paula and Jan to his parents to see the fireworks from their balcony and I'm staying home with baby to put him in bed as usual. It's so nice and peaceful!

As for me... have fallen a bit off the wagon, not 100% but haven't been as good as I should have... eating wise I've had a few forbidden items and I haven't run in a week... I don't know what's up wether it's the weather/season, my thyroid or just me but I'm extremely exhausted. Funny now that Pol's sleeping the night through and so I am I'm more tired than ever... I have new shoes and want to get out there... I'm sure the light savings thing's got to do with it because it's since we changed the time I haven't been running. I have a 10K race on Nov. 29th so I better get my butt into gear!

I have to be a good girl. It's all about control. I can do it. I have to do it. Just do it Jacky... it only depends on you girl... it's just that food is so yummy... darn food!

Love my kids!
