5 Days to go!

We are getting so close!  Check out the GCF Shop - I got the email last night and it looks pretty exciting!  I sure do hope I don't have to buy all that stuff though!

I am so tired right now!  I've been setting the alarm earlier and earlier this week in the hopes of getting up early enough to hit the gym before I start my day.  I think it might be a lost cause though, I'm much better at afternoon exercise so 6:30am will be it for early days!!  That gives me enough time to prep properly for the day, go to uni, pick up kids, exercise, dinner, clean, bed!

I'm pretty sure we get some plans open up tomorrow.. though I'm not sure if we get plans for the first week or not.  Will have to wait and see!  Excited!

Posting this one late!  I thought I published it last night.. yet here I am at 7am in the morning posting it!  Kind of funny really - given I woke at 6am this morning!  No alarm!  After saying that 6:30am is as early as I wanted to wake up!

6 days to go!

I am totally over being sick. 

No more complaining as of now! 

No more excuses as of now!

The time is getting closer and two weeks of this chest cold has thwarted my goals long enough!  I'm getting better, slowly, and although even moderate exercise is out of the question, some light exercise would do me good!  I'm pretty sure the pizza and coke for dinner, even though it did save washing up and the energy expenditure from cooking, was not 'immune boosting'. 

No more interruptions. 

Day 20: Still sick!

Before



After

I still have this chesty cough thing going on.  Somehow it means I must eat things like roast chicken and gravy rolls, chocolate, and whatever I can get my hands on! 

Still, I felt healthy enough to attack the garden some more this weekend.  While Dave cleared out behind the shed, I went for the next segment down the side.  There is still another 'half' of this garden along this side of the fence but that will be a full weekend mission for when I am feeling better!

I spent almost $50 on plants - and yes I am renting, but it is worth it to have it pretty while I am here!

 

 

Getting back on topic though.. I am not weighing in today.  The fact is, being sick, I have reverted very easily back to bad habits.  Excuses have amplified.. I can't get to the shop, I'm too tired to cook, blah, blah.   I am having herbal teas and getting plenty of sleep though!

Day 17

I can speak.. Sometimes a whole sentence before I start coughing.

Knee deep in tissues, I am wading through a houseful of the lurgy, the kids, the hubby, and me..
