Life's toooo busy

Well, so much for trying to be more organised and making my next post sooner. It's been over a month since my last post!! Geez, how time flies. I knew I'd be busy when I went back to work, but life has been so hectic it's just not funny.

So now I have some down time, and thought I should catch up with some things.

Easter has come and gone, and I didn't have one hot cross bun. They are my favourite part of Easter. But, they must be dripping with butter. So I thought it would be best if I steered clear of them altogether. I reckon I probably ate 2 or 3 dozen last year, so I feel very proud.

I'm totally back into the swing of things at work. It feels like I never left. The kids are loving going to Gran's and getting spoilt. I'm really lucky that I have a mother-in-law that I get on with really well. She can't do enough to help us out, and I don't know what I'd do without her. My mum and sister also help out with the kids, and they too are lifesavers. With both Darren and I working full-time, it's nice that Lana and Jack can still be around family.

Food wise at work has been a breeze. Being prepared is the key. My locker is loaded with low point snacks, so I never feel deprived. There's plenty to eat if I'm ever hungry, and I don't need to take the "easy option" of getting a sausage roll from the bakery across the road. I'm pleased to say that I haven't been tempted once. I've even been out to lunch several times and made sensible choices.

It all seems to come so naturally now. There's no inner struggle over good food/bad food. I just know what's better for me, and that's what I choose. It really is that simple.

Exercise wise I'm not doing so well. I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses, but I just can't find the time. I'm awake at 5:30 with Jack. Ready for work and out the door by 7:15. Then I'm usually not home until 6:30. Then it's time for tea, kids to bed, do a load of washing. I usually go to bed by 9:30(I'm not a night owl), and then I'm up once or twice a night with Jack.

I'm trying to walk more at work, and I'm going to get a pedometer. I'm sure having one will encourage me to move more. Once Jack gets a bit bigger I'm hoping to fit more time in for me. But for now, I think the pedometer is the best option.

Well that's a real random post about nothing really, but a post all the same. I promise to make my next post sooner rather than later.

Till next time, take care
