Honesty Time ....

Okay so it's been a few days since my last post! It's been a very up and down few days.... emotionally, physically & mentally challenging. The biggest battle this week has been dealing with sick children! I'm generally not one to fuss or whine about my kids or myself  being sick, I am usually more than happy to relax, rest up and laze around with my munchkins, but I was just amazed this week at how much of a stuff around it can be when your trying to start new habits, eg. diet, exercise, routine, etc. It was just one of those weeks where everything seemed to be back to front and nothing fit together. I know it sounds like I'm just talking jibberish and I quite possibly am (sudofed is my best friend right now!!) but it was all the little things like, exercising late at night (generally at about 8.30-9ish) pumped me up right before bed making it hard to go to sleep and then causing me to wake in the morning, aching and tired. Add to that, being up a few times in the night to sick kiddies wanting midnight snuggles, and a complete change in routine with husband working afternoon shifts instead of his usual early morning shift. It just all threw me! I feel like I've spent the whole week on the back foot, just trying to catch up with life! Don't get me wrong here, I know it might come across like I'm complaining but I'm completely not, I'm just being realistic about the realities of setting new habits. 


Reality is, life happens!! Life in all of it's chaotic, spontaneous, wonderful, frustration; regardless of what you plan ..... just continues to keep on rolling. So my 2 big focuses at the start of the week, being diet & training, were pretty much none existent by the end of the week! 

Start of the week........

End of the week ........

Yes, if you look close enough, you will see a pizza box under the empty box of magnums! And I tell you what, neither were worth it, but it never seems to matter beforehand! In all honesty though, I didn't make it through even one full day on the "plan" but what else can I do but keep on trying! Oh and also, I haven't trained since Wednesday night ...... no excuses, I just didn't! (Okay I did get sick as well, but I CHOSE not to train and that's okay!)


Bah! I just had to take a big teary break, watching what I think must have been the whole weeks worth of masterchef episodes, repeated tonight. It's been on since 6 o'clock and we're up to the "family" episode. I have literally laughed and cried out loud!! My husband must think I am absolutely mental, I am seriously the biggest sook out! As soon as they bring the families out, I'm gone, a complete, blubbering mess!


On a side note, I have a strange urge to sew things right now! I've been doing a lot of sewing machine research today (all suggestions welcome!) and have added a heap of cute, crafty blogs with ideas (I'm really bad at sewing "patterns" but love to look at the ideas!) and have lots of wonderfully, colourful things floating around my scatterbrained head! I also really want to make a "Denim, Braided Floor Rug" which I found an instructional on this week. It looks really funky, so if it works out I'll post a link to where I found it :)


And on that note (completely unrelated segue) I really ought to go to bed! Next week's goal - GO TO BED BEFORE 9.30PM EVERY NIGHT. Nighty Night x
