And what fantastic holidays they were!
After spending Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with the kids, they went off to their Dad's and Nigel and I hopped on a plane to Cuba for 8 days. Paradise! 28 degrees every day and no rain. Lounged by the pool, snorkeled in the coral reef, drove speed boats, swam in crystal clear waters, tanned on a white sand beach...all-inclusive drinks and food, entertainment every night and a glass of champagne and a kiss at midnight on New Years Eve. I couldn't have asked for anything more...except maybe another week there!
But the holidays are over and it's back to real life.
I did manage to actually lose a few pounds while I was away, but I need to get serious now and get rid of this weight once and for all. I've started back on the medication and testing again, but my numbers don't seem to be very good. I am hoping the increase in exercise and losing some weight will help bring me closer to the right numbers.
This week I'm going to work on my breakfasts. The right number of carbs and hopefully adding some more dairy to them. Will also be hitting the gym each day while the kids are in school. Busy week with a big catering job on Saturday.
Was feeling a bit down on things earlier this weekend, but have picked up today. I am working on accepting that life isn't always going to be how we think it should and be open to change and living life differently, but still happily. It's a daily battle, but I will continue to tell myself that everyday.
Anyway...off to bed! Will check in tomorrow.
