Well, I am VERY tired this morning. Around 1am I was woken up by the wind slamming Christy’s door shut. At 1.30am I still couldn’t sleep so I read for an hour and finished the latest Sandra Hill book. At 2.30am just I was dozing off again I heard Christy start with the asthma cough. I had to go downstairs for her spacer so I could give her ventolin while she was still mostly asleep. Back to bed, still couldn’t sleep after cuddling Rosie for half an hour so at 3am I went downstairs to use my computer – read blog, check e-mail, etc. I was searching PST time for my BPS Get Organised Be Inspired Super Saturday chat thing. Anyway, this is when I made my discovery. For some reason I had always thought my California friends (Hi Annie and Joann) were around 10 hours behind us. So when it’s morning here it’s evening there and vise versa. Boy was I wrong. Currently they are just 5 hours ahead (but a day behind). So when I discovered this at 4am Sat it was 9am Fri for them.

I finally went back to bed but didn’t get to sleep right away cause this totally spun me out :-). It does make a lot of sense though cause I was often confused when they wrote posts that seemed to be published at very strange times (to me anyway). But now I know why – I was just completely off with my time conversion. However, after my very bad nights sleep I doubt I will be up at 4am to start Super Saturday…. so I’ll try to get a bit of head start today – it’s all about resorting/storing my scrapbook supplies.

Well, I’m pottering along this week. Trying not to let this very slow weight loss get to me. I did miss cardio yesterday (cause Kevin went to work) but I did pass up Malteasers in the movies and only had my protein bar and a diet coke. Food wise everything is going well.

Well, I was feeling peckish for much of today. Did have a couple of plain biscuits and a packet of weight watchers nibblies. Not too bad. Had a friend over for afternoon tea. Since that was to be meal 4 I made a mexican dip to have with organic corn chips. I also made a low-fat choc brownie. I enjoyed the dip and 2 pieces of brownie and then felt absolutely horrible. I thought it was overeating (even though I didn’t think I ate too much) but  it’s 2 hours later and I still feel yuck so it must be something else. I’m not going to have meal 5. I’m off to a meeting soon and if I feel better when I come back might have something later.

Well, not quite the results I was hoping for – a loss of 0.2kg. I was lower on Friday but it seems every day this week I was up and down and all over the place. I did take my measurements and had dropped a couple of cms in most places since the last time I measured. Took photos but can’t see my difference in those. However I did put on a new top today and was pleasantly suprised when I could do it up and it looked okay.

I think I need to focus a bit more on my diet this week – mainly portion sizes – and I’m going to drop having meal 6 – I don’t usually feel like it anyway so I’ll only have it if I actually feel hungry.

Here’s a photo of my arms. I’m rather proud of my little muscles – just need to get rid of the flab and I’ll be all set.
