New wheels....

Red... cos' it will go faster....

Hugh got his first set of wheels over the weekend... Check out how proud this little man is!!!

He stood there with his hands on his hips watching Jack put it together, just making sure it was right and then he was off!
Both the girls had their training wheels removed as well over the weekend. Laura (4) took off like a rocket and Emilie (5) took things a little more cautiously (so much like her mother...) But both girls are now riding like 'big girls"
The only thing the worries me now is that they might decide to ride into town (13km) or perhaps head to the neighbours (8km).... hmmm... perhaps I best shut the gate!!
I am on the tail end of by bi-annual cold. Don't get sick often, so shouldn't whinge too much, but I do whinge... poor Jack... but it is nearly gone!
Since WW meeting here has closed I have taken to weighing here at home each Monday morning. A loss of 1.6kg this past week. I have slowly watched the scales creep back up. Last Monday it was at 66.9kg (OMFG) and this Monday back to 65.3kg. I like to be in the 63's... so still a little way to go back down.
Tracking has been fantastic. I find I only eat foods that I know the point value of and I don't want to right down that I ate $2 of mixed allens lollies, so I don't eat them... I read somewhere that often it is only one food that lets lots of over-weight people down, be it chocolate, cake, icecream or whatever. I could easily fit that rule to myself. Lollies...
I seems to be able to get away with a few, but only a few...
Anyway, another 2 kg's to whittle away at before it gets warmer and I need to start showing some skins again.
Ok... better go and catch the clothes line then fill the wheel barrow with wood. So bloody cold and windy. I am often lovingly referred to as the "Wood Burning Bitch" as i hate being cold and tend to burn a bit to keep the house warm... but hey... it is only 10 degrees!!

Cute wee boy and his new bike! It is freezing here in NZ too, I'm surprised it gets so cold in Aussy too, I always thought it was always warm.... boo hooo, there goes my idea of retiring to the warmth of Aussy !
