Reality Bites
( If I had not fallen asleep on the couch last night - not to awaken until the alarm this morning, this is what I would have posted - and all I had to do was hit "Publish Post" D'oh)
It's a funny thing to get a reality check sometimes. I could have sworn that I had been to the gym more often last year. And I was absolutely certain that my last weights sessions was just before Christmas. But. It was not. The last time I did weights was Monday 10th October!! That is over 3 months ago. I knew I had to take it easy today, so that I can go back tomorrow, but blooming heck. LOL
Today has been great on pretty much all fronts.
I ate 21 points exactly and all were comprised of good, healthy, whole foods. I do however need to add some fruit in tomorrow.
I drank 2.25 litres of water at work. So will probably go over 3 for the day.
I went to the gym and did a weights session. As it was the first for 3 months I did 2 sets of everything instead of 3. I will build up the 3rd set slowly.
I walked to Central to get the bus. I think I sweated off 20kgs on the way (I wish!)
I have cooked dinner.
I have cleaned the kitchen.
The lounge room is still tidy.
The bath toys have been disinfected (don't ask).
And now I blog before bed. (well I didn't quiet get around to doing this one LOL)
A good start to the week :D

LOL at the bath toys, I need to do my DS's too, not for any "pooticular" reason but just cos I haven't done them for a while. Ha ha ha.
Hope you have another great day today!

God.. your daysounds just like mine - I wonder at time why do I even bother with cleaning up the house! But I still do...
Small world isn't it - I love the Riverland - We lived there for 12 months (1997) - just loved the climate!

I felt the same exact thing when I plugged the treadmill on a couple of weeks back. I had the feeling it had only been a couple of months back...and Angelos reminded it it had been...ummm...many "couples" of months ago...lol
But you are trully underestimating things when you say that it is a good start of the week. It is a GREAT start babe!!!!
*hugs*
