So it is Christmas... Well nearly!!

I'm getting SO excited... Only 6 sleeps till Santa comes... I brought all of my Christmas meats today - Rolled turkey, leg of lamb (I LOVE LAMB!!) and a home smoke ham... Enough for quite a few days, but I am NoCounting at the moment so I will be able to eat it!!

NoCount?? I am not sure what to say about it until I weigh.... I am following the principals of the program and understand it all.... but not willing to say too much until I have weighed a few times. I think there are only two of us out of our group actually doing NoCount.. but it is almost Christmas and it is difficult to eat out on NoCount (If anyone else has found a easy way - please let me know!!) We had take away at a friends on Friday night and I found myself making just a salad out of things from her fridge! - Not willing to kiss the whole week away just one day into NoCount - but on the other hand - I went to my trustly recipe book this morning and discovered that I can eat rissito again (minus the cheese) - so I am planning to give my curry chicken one a whirl tomorrow - will let you know how it goes!!

Jack started a week off today - but with the public holidays and a roster they've going for between Christmas and new year he doesn't go back to work until Friday week... So at present he is driving a header just down the road, but he has pumped a dam empty today that we are filling and revegetating - (Due to drought and limited dam fills - dam no longer needed)

The poor bugger had a stressful week last week... he had a client breakdown on him earlier in the week... The emotional damage the the drought has had on some farmers is ongoing and I wonder at times if they will ever recover fully... Then one of the young guys that Jack works with Father died suddenly. The guy was only in this 50's and Chris who works with Jack is just 20 - so Jack went up to the hospital, just after Chris rang him to see what could be done and stayed with them for a while until more family arrived. I think now that he is worried about himself and if that happened to him - what would we do... I hate to think about it... but that is how I deal with things... I will ignore it.. Hoping that it will go away (It rarely does... By the way!)

So that is about it for now... Horsham Wednesday to pick up layby's and the rest of the gifts the I need then a couple of quite days - then it is CHRISTMAS ___ YEAH - I'm soo excited!

Take care everyone and will post weigh in results on Thursday - just o see how this NoCount is going!!
