Got the flu

 I’m not feeling very well at all.

Got an irritating cough that no matter what I take, or suck it just won’t go away. I’ve had very little sleep, even though I slept up high on 3 pillows. I honestly feel like crap. Over it. 

Taken 3 rat tests and they all negative so it’s not Covid. But will take another one tonight.

The kids have had time off daycare/school due to the same  thing….so looks like they’ve past it on…😬

Weigh in was Saturday, 600g down. Still working on reduced portions. STILL need to work on my water, drinking nowhere near enough.

Kids have turned up for the night….bring on bedtime, I’m heading to bed at the same time. Spoke to my boss earlier and he’s got someone to cover my shift tomorrow, no way can I work feeling like this.

Till next time….

2nd week.

What a wet, cold and miserable week it has been. We did have a little bit of sunshine mid week but boy it was still so cold. 

Been quite good food wise. Watching my portions sizes but still have to get more water down inside me. Trying hard, and will keep persisting, I know I need too. Need to get a few more steps happening too. Soon I go down to one day a week so plan to meet up with my friend and start up our jabberwalking again. Anyway weigh in result, 100g off. 

William had his school assembly. Micheal got Covid again (2nd time) and couldn’t make it, BUT Bozo (Dad)drove down to watch William and his class host the assembly. Stayed long enough for a cuddle and a quick talk then drove all the way back to Perth as he had work at 4am. My god, if you going to drive that far why not hang around and spend time with the kids after school. 

Anyways, off to dish up dinner. Lazed around all day as it’s been so wet so not overly hungry.

First weigh in.

 And I was down 300g….not a lot but that wasn’t a full week.

Anyways I’m feeling quite good. I’m still motivated. BUT even though I’m not “dieting” I still need to for one drink more water. I’m finding that real hard atm, it’s so cold, wet and miserable and I’m drinking too much coffee instead…😏

And I need to move more. Other than work and chasing after those grandies of mine I don’t do much. Gone are the days where I was walking daily. My knee being as it is doesn’t help…but I’m hoping with some weight loss I’ll feel more like moving more.

Started new challenge

 Well it’s on my mark, get set and go….

The start of another new round with my online weight loss/support group.  I’ve had some good rounds and some darn bad ones but over the years I’ve been doing these challenges….no matter what diet I am doing….I always seem to sabotage myself. Somehow I have to stop it and try and stop the yo-yo’ing, I just have to. Gotta to get my head in the right place and do it. I know it will be hard, I’m going to slip as I’m not perfect…but I’ve got to learn to reset and pick myself up before that 1 slip turns into a landslide. 

I’ve started this challenge with all good intentions so fingers crossed for me. I’m not dieting as such this time round, no weight watchers, keto, 5:2…just eating sensibly and watching my portions. 

All else is going ok in the world of Jen.

I’m enjoying the less hours, particularly this week. It’s been so windy and wet and keeping the shopping centre clean in those conditions has been to say the least has been very challenging.

Talking about challenging….my littlest two grandies have been too. OMG…they have been sooo naughty. Think they are a little lost and feeling abandoned by their Dad. He has seen them once for 4 hours since the beginning of April. Ohh and has been down to watch 1 game of Williams soccer and Kylee had to offer him the fuel money to do that.

He has his partner had a big argument and she kicked him out (it was her house) and he was living in his car. So trying to sort that relationship out and his work became his priorities 😏 He took on extra shifts, applied for managerial positions and pushed his kids to the back burners. 

William was rushed to the childrens hospital in Perth last week for tooth surgery. He lives 40 minutes away and did he come see him …. no of course not 😡

Anyway before I get on my “high horse” and say things I shouldn’t say I better wrap this up and go clean up my kitchen, dishes to do. Then it will be a cup of hot chocolate and bed.

Till next time…..
