Another weekend gone.....

I think I will be living off "free soup" for the rest of the week.... What a weekend!! Had Apex Christmas party Friday night, best friends engagement party on Saturday night and Santa come to the park for Apex yesterday afternoon.... Too many late nights for me and the kids!! I can't expect to loss weight with what I ate and drank over the weekend - I guess I can only hope to maintain! - I still have a few days to catch up before weigh in!!

Thank you everyone for all of your comments of congratulations... I must say I am still feeling very happy with myself about the weight that I have lost!! In the time that I have been going to WW, I have been the only one to reach goal so far. There are a few not very far from it... I think it is encouraging seeing people that the WW plan has worked for, and worked well for. During the last ten weeks I haven't starved myself, I have had treats, I have only been hungry on a couple of occasions... It has all been about choice of foods.. And I think that I still need to exercise more. I get in lots of incential movements during the day, but actual planned exercise is still only 30min, tops a day. Unless I haven't got the kids and I do a big catch up walk or something...

I will post some photos shortly - But if you have read my Christmas wishlist post - you will see that we don't have a digital camera as yet - arriving for christmas - so they will appear shortly...

My mum reminded me that I now weigh 7 kg less then what I did when we got married.... So I don't think I would have been this light since around 1997 or 1998...

Phillippa's vegie patch is very impressive.... if we had a digital camera I would post you a photo of ours, but we are just asarting to reap the rewards of our vegie patch - Jack is an agronomist (A farm adviser for those city people... Country folks would know what one it..) so our vegie patch is far from organic, but it does grow quickly and BIG vegies.... The kids love planting seeds, watering and then picking the fruit and veg.. Laura, my middle daughter can ben found head down and bum up in the strawberries... Just eating her way through them..

Well, I better sign off and do some housework. One thing that suffered over the weekend....

my vegie patch is on steriods its huge. my hubby dave is in the process of studying agriculture about 3 years in (he studies part time) and he wants to be an agronomist. Its good to actually know (in a blogger kind of way) someone else that is an agronomist.

I cant wait to have my own place to start a vegie patch, and a herb garden. A bit hard to here in our cairns unit! mind you having a pool andbeing a block from the esplanade is a pretty nice compromise for now. Eventually we will settle in Western Victoria. Your lucky your husband is into the vegie patch! I always thought I would marry a hard working country boy... I ended up with a male nurse from the city!!! he cant even drive a manual car!! (you can imagine what my Dad said about that). My sister was here over the weekend, seeing we spent the majority of the time at the pub, Im a bit worried about the weigh in tomorow morning... Have a great week!!

Can't wait to have a vege patch. We even talked about it last weekend and said when we move into our own house I want a section just for the boys. So they can plant, water, and reap all the rewards. I love gardening and I think they will too..

Sounds like you had a great weekend. Hope this week is even better :)
