Went to mom's yesterday. We were celebrating my brother's birthday (next Tuesday), my nephew Harry's birthday (he was 3 on the 22nd), my sister-in-law's birthday (was Oct. 8) and my baby's 1st birthday (next Friday). Didn't eat a lot, but had a regular lunch: asparagus, hard boiled egg, a little bread, tuna fish, some chicken and... cake... little dinner after that.
Wanted to go for a long run today to make up for it but woke up full of a head cold and run down so... no run today. Also *cheated* a little today... had a mandarin, a banana, some wholewheat toast and a salad for lunch and a little square of chocolate... and all this with no run... why am I so childish? Why can't I control myself? Shame on me :(
Paula's gym was presenting the teams today so we went. They put on a little show... it was great! She's doing so well, so neat and so *clean*... she loves it!
Spent the afternoon at home, only going over to the neighbour's for a while to play. Kids were hyper...
So, on the wagon again tomorrow I hope!

Nice little run
It is late again... 11:30 pm... it's been a good week at work. I'm so glad and happy about changing jobs or better said schools since I sort of do the same! I think (let me just whisper that...) I am starting to get to my 5s...let's hope so!
Just been for a run... 41:01, 3.24 miles (5.22k)... not bad... I'm happy with the time... it's getting better! I love the feeling I'm left with after running! I wore my new shoes only to find out they're too small for me :(... how on earth did that happen?
No working tomorrow (was supposed to) so that's good. Over to mom's to celebrate Harry's birthday (he was 3 yesterday), Carol's birthday (was Oct. 8) and my brother Dani's birthday (will be Oct. 27). Should be fun. Hope all kids behave!
Eating was good today too... was about to overdo it or have *forbidden* stuff but I didn't... yay for me!
Baby Pol decided to turn the water on in the bath and the shower started going... the bathroom was flooded and we all got soaked... ho-hum!
I'd love to scrapbook... I have no time... no worries... it'll happen, it's just a question/matter of time!
Life is good!

3rd rainy day in a row...
Yes... it's still raining... supposed to be getting better but kids were still kept inside because of the rain, so they were a bit hyper... it'll pass but while at it it's quite stressing.
I went for a 51:22 run yesterday... 4 miles exactly. So proud to have run for so long but I did have pain on my leg just as it happenned 3 years ago. My doc says not to worry about it. The weather's playing tricks on me... hopefully it's only that!
So, I'm going for it... building time and endurance. Speed will come in time... not really worried about it since I have lots of weight to lose and dragging it along doesn't make it easy!
Food wise... I had 3 forbidden things yesterday. I had a tiny sandwich in the am, had custard, a donut and a little chocolate... hopefully the run did the trick! Today I had rice for lunch which wasn't really allowed either but have been good otherwise. I hope all the effort is worth it and I see results.
I am very tired today and have a bit of a back ache but I ain't giving up. I'm meeting great people on dailymile that motivate me big time. I hope I stick to it. I can do this and must go for it!
Weighing in in the am... hoping for a loss!

Rainy day
It rained today... hadn't done so in ages so it was very much needed but of course... the kids didn't get any playground time and you could tell. Still it was a good day!
Went to my psychologist appointment today and it was great. Instead of being negative as usual, I was very positive. I'm feeling this way since I changed jobs... I work in a really nice atmosphere and you can tell. Helps with my mood! So the appointment was good. She said to see me a little later this time as she sees me progressing really well! Told her I have been eating well for a week and she was pleased to hear that and to see the effort I'm putting into it all.
Eating wise I did 2 *forbidden* things. One was have a tiny sandwich mid morning... I was hungry and that's what I felt like having and the other was a coffee after lunch that did me a lot of good... I wasn't hungry all afternoon! It's not like I over did it and had a bar of chocolate or anything... but it's the first day I have something "not" supposed to have. I feel good. I did weigh myself this am and that was a mistake because despite my being good, the scale showed 1 extra kilo... I didn't like that but then again I shouldn't weigh myself everyday or 2 days in a row for the matter. So, no more weighing until Friday and after that, until next Thursday (we're going away) and then until Tuesday because on Tuesday I'm seing the nutritionist! So there!
Work was good today. Had 12 5s missing... the class was heaven! It really went well. All classes were good today. I'm happy... I've realised I will do what I can. It's a challenge and I hope I get them to like my class and learn something. I'll try my best. If I excell, great, if not... tough. These kids have no limits or habits whatsoever. I have them an hour a day... no miracle can be expected, right???
Feeling good... was it that coffee???

Tired
It's been a good day but I'm tired... I guess my long run (for me) yesterday is sinking in, plus it's Monday, went to bed late... you get the picture, I'm sure!
I managed with my eating despite feeling really hungry and wanting to eat a little carb (just a slice of wholewehat bread) but I didn't, so I managed a week in a row... many more to come I hope!
Work was good today. Even the 5s behaved... what a blessing!
My kids have been great. I love them!
I did weigh myself this am and haven't lost any weight... that was a bit of a bummer to say the least... I am making a huge effort with the eating and I'm exercising... maybe next week! I've got to stick to it, that's for sure!
I'll keep blogging everytime I can!

It's late...
Here I am once more and it's late... 11:34 pm when I start typing this... should be in bed but... I just had my dinner so I need for it to go down a bit before I head that way.
Today was a very nice day... first, Pol slept the night through until 8:45! Then I went with Paula to run a kid's race in the am. After the race where we met her best friend whith whom she set off running and went way ahead of me, we went t0 the park with my in-laws. They all had a great time. I met a friend's mom and a coworker. We came home, we had lunch. Pol took a 3 1/2+ hour nap... we had to wake him up! Good thing is that he woke up 1 1/2 hours into it and went back to sleep! We spent the afternoon playing at home. Pol took a few steps on his own... he's growing fast!
And once everyone was in bed... I headed out for a run. It was late and cold but I went. Decided to go where I used to run 3 years ago. Lots of hills that made me really slow, but I did it. I ran for 50:22 and did 3.8 miles in that time... really slow but... I did it. Had run 0.96 miles in the am with Paula. A total of 4.44 miles this evening including warm up and cool down. Felt great... what a nice run! I am hoping that as I shift weight off, I'll get faster... fingers crossed! I don't intend to be an Olympian but I sure pretend to improve these times... although I'm proud of all I'm achieving... that speed is far from ideal... things at their own time I guess!
And well... the weekend is over... another busy weekend next week... working Sat. am and then gym teams presentations on Sun. Birthday party for 3 on Sat. afternoon... I'm tired only thinking about it, LOL!
Ok... another good day food wise... can't believe I'm sticking to it. I just hope I see results... my jeans did feel a bit more lose today... it'll be a long road... it'll be slow but it'll be the last time riding it, I hope!

Saturday...
So it's Saturday again... time flies... my oh my... and it's getting cold... finally fall is setting in... it was wicked hot last week, really hot and unusual but it's gone to normal now. It's only that it happened from night to day... no time to re-adjust... oh well... what to do!
Another good day yet despite an outing for lunch with lots of people. I was good... didn't do any extras, stuck to my healthy habits. I'm so proud... but I do have to admit it wasn't difficult either. I didn't feel the need to eat what they were eating or taste the crisps... all felt natural... I ate what I brought and that's it!
It is windy again... I went running yesterday and wasn't going to go today. Have to let my body recover. But there's a race tomorrow. I'm doing the kid's race with my eldest. About 2km only but at least a little run with her that will be lovely for sure! I will get a *proper* run in later on if I can!
Went shopping in the evening. My big guy has no *winter* clothes... he's grown soooooooo much... so I got him a couple of jeans and a couple of pyjamas. Rest to follow!
Off to bed now... been outdoors all day, had a lovely time but I'm exhausted now!
I'm doing it... I'm slowly getting there!
