Mine was pretty good. I did slip up on Sunday however. Went to a wedding and the food was TERRIBLE, so went to McDonalds afterward and had chicken nuggets. Oh well...this week is all brand new!!

I got some exercise cleaning my house, weeding my garden and that's about it. I ate ok except for the ice cream. Yes the ice cream. I bought it for a party we had. I didn't have time to make a dessert so I had a "make your own sundays" kinda thing. I think I'll go home and throw out the left over ice cream so I don't eat it all. It's calling my name as we speak. I need to get my sh!t together. Can someone kick me in the arse please.

Probably because I have had to switch to working overnights for a few weeks- its just so hard to find the time/energy to get there right now. I went yesterday but missed today- but I'll go the rest of the week to make up for it. Luckily I've been able to maintain my diet and have still managed to lose 1 pound.

I tried to work out my legs yesterday as not working out is driving me crazy, it seems I'm pullin' something every couple of weeks lately. I did this doing a twisty swimming exercise. But, my attitude is good and I am watching what I'm eating in the meantime and just am considering this one of those times there is nothing I can do rather than get down about it and give up. I couldn't even get on the computer and type as raising my arm on that side was excrutiating. My goal this week is to ease my way back into exercise and stay cheery! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

I've only done one official workout this week, but I literally haven't stopped moving at all. Well, Ok, I have, but only to sleep and eat! Even eating is a challenge. I just didn't realise how much work was involved in taking on; full time work, full time study, two little children and a hubby!!!! This is only my first week. Im going to be stuffed by the end of the year! Im really enjoying it so far though. If anyone has any accounting knowledge, can you let me know, at some point over the next 6 months I may need to pick your brains! Im doing MYOB, manual bookkeeping, computer applications, and a few other things for a business course. My head hurts just thinking about it!

I used Quickbooks for my business and others I managed and it worked quite well. I am going to school on the 16th for two weeks to get my Affiliate Broker's License, I'm not going to be a realtor, but managing an office full time besides my writing, so maybe me and you can have some pity parties when we get frustrated!!! Good luck, really, sounds like you are doing great, even though you are having to work your tail off! You are accomplishing a lot!!!! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

DeeTee Posts: 166 Joined: 2004/06/09	2004/08/01, 08:26 PM That's fantastic Veda! Im going to remember that and make sure if I get stuck I come straight to you. At the moment we are doing manual bookkeeping, using my brain WAY to much! But I think I'll get a better grounding doing it this way, to learn the whys of it, not just that it works. Thanks again!
