Life cycles

Had a slim day today. Woke up feeling like a sexy slim thing :) Isn't it funny how some days our body feels fat yet other days we feel slim? I'm presuming it's my TOM fluid disappearing.

Been 100% on track the last two days. Hasn't been too much of a problem keeping to the 20pts (so far) Although I am really motivated at the moment so might be a little tougher when that drops.

Thanks to those who sent me their congrats!! You guys are awesome!! But honestly I haven't done anything amazing ... just stuck at it ... that's all it takes. I haven't been one of those 1kg a week people ... have had my ups and downs like everyone else ... but I have just kept at it. If I've had a bad week I just put it behind me and think that at the end when I get to goal I won't even remember those gains. I know it feels like the whole world has caved in and I may as well give up when I have a gain ... but that's so not true. We just gotta keep plodding on!!

Bill's boss had been looking out for a second hand Mitsubishi Challenger for us. He came back to Bill the other day and said he couldn't find a good enough one with low enough km's for the price he wanted to pay. So instead he's going to lease one, that means we get it BRAND NEW!!! Wahooo!! We've never had a brand new car before (let alone a Challenger!) We got to choose the colour today. I've really feel so spoilt this year. It just keeps getting better and better. We have had our years of struggling. At times we couldn't afford even to buy food and had rent payments bouncing. I remember one night we had to go out fishing to catch our dinner because we only had 3 potatos in the cupboard and when I tried to cook them up they had blite (sp) all through them. It was cold, wet and not the ideal night for fishing. But we packed the kids up in the car (around 8pm) and set out to find an estuary to put our lines in. 2 hours later we still hadn't caught anything and by now the kids were crying, we were hungry and now cold. We went back home with our tails between our legs. It took all the humbleness we could muster to ring a charity organisation to get a food parcel. I had never ever asked for food before and I felt so ashamed doing it. But it fed us that night and I grew so much through the experience.

Life is full of ups and downs and everything we go through adds to our life experiences. I'm just so grateful for blessings we have had this year.

On that note, I better get these kids fed and ready for bed.
Take care,
Lyn :)
