Peace and quiet....

This morning I got up at 5am to take Daisuke to the station so that he didn`t have to get a taxi/ public transport. Then J and I came back and went back to bed. Thankfully Joey went back to sleep as well because I was somewhat concerned that he wouldn`t! I dragged my ever-expanding butt out of bed at about 8.30 to have a shower and make J`s lunch for daycare today. Daisuke usually looks after him on saturdays but that wasn`t possible today so I decided to put him in daycare for the morning instead. I could have picked him up straight after his class but I kind of figured that as I am going to be a "single Mum" until tuesday, I would take a little bit of me time. I was thinking of going to the gym but decided to read lots of blogs instead! I will no doubt regret it when I weigh myself next week!!! On Wednesday they weighed me at the gym and measured my height/ internal body fat ratio and according to their charts I am hideously and obscenely obese. I was somewhat distressed but as i don`t put too much stock in that kind of thing, I was actually more bothered by the fact that I weigh more now than I ever have done, even more than when I packed on the pounds in my final year at university so I really need to do something about it. The gym is a good start but I really need to eat less crap and be a bit more sensible about my food intake. I am a bad compulsive/ comfort eater and I need to work on that. There is a chance that I will suffer a big drop in income next month and that might be a good thing for my diet as there will be less money for snacks!! Hope you all have a good weekend!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

I'm in the same boat about the weight stuff as well. I am a snacker. I will snack from morning until night, if I were to allow it! I really shouldn't be doing that! Sigh! I've been doing treadmill lately. So hopefully it helps. Crossing fingers! : )

Ahhhh....snacks....yum. I can relate, especially during the holidays!

My friend here on Okinawa told me that it takes 21 days to form a habit so keep going to the gym! And try to keep healthy snacks around. I know, I know, you`ve probably heard it before but it really works. Ganbatte!
