My husband has been in Johannesburg on business for two days and the result is I have had very little sleep! I find it very hard to have a restful night when he is away and Wednesday night was no exception, I woke up at about three in the morning and managed to turn many little mole hills into huge mountains! Tiredness was the last thing I needed yesterday morning as I had to be on good form to pack for four days away in Paternoster. We arrived at our beach house at about five in the evening and the breath taking view that hit me from the deck was worth the slog to get here - we will be staying until Sunday with divine friends and I know its going to be spectacular!
I'm sure you all know that weekends away can entail a lot of unnecessary eating which for me in my current situation would not be a good idea - luckily, the couple that we are with are the King and Queen of Weight Watchers so although there is an abundance of food, (my girlfriend is the "Go large or go home" type and is very good at it!) its all slimming and healthy. I mentioned in my last blog that I needed to step things up a notch and I'm intent on doing just that! I'm hoping to lose at least three kilograms in the next week.
As I have written previously, at the end of my thirteen weeks my husband and I are going to New York for a much needed break from work and parenting and, if all goes according to plan, Ell as apposed to Butterball will be climbing the stairs to board that plane! I was discussing this with my husband the other night expecting his response to be something along the lines of - yes darling, you are going to be so skinny! - but instead he said "Now look, rather than aiming for the impossible, why don't you count your small victories and be happy with achieving a kind of pleasant chubbiness!" Oh yes he did! Although my knee jerk reaction was to laugh uncontrollably I also thought, you bastard, ( in the most loving was of course) Ill show you that I can do this and come June you'll be begging me to eat something for fear of fading away! Oh how I long for someone to say that to me! x
