.. It’s Tuesday and Mat went to Adelaide on Sunday. We get him back late tomorrow night which will be great!
Sunday night there was a massive thunderstorm and so Travis, Cherry & I were all huddled together trying to be brave.
I was a bit scared the first night but I had a great nights sleep last night and hope to do the same tonight.
I went to work yesterday, Sue picked Travis, Cherry & I up and Harry dropped us home.
Last night my friend Jess came for a visit, we had dinner & commenced our ‘Biggest Loser’ competition.
Travis is being a very good boy, love that he sleeps well through the night and has been doing so for quite awhile now.
Today I am not at work so we may pop down to Beacon Lighting & order some ceiling fans.

Well today is the 3rd morning of my ‘detox’ and unfortunately I awoke feeling weak and seeing spots.
As I am breast feeding Travis I have decided to use the detox plan as a base diet and add a couple of things.
I am guessing I was feeling weak due to losing 2.5 kilos in just over 2 days, which can’t be good for the body (however I think had had a load of water retention as I have been on the toilet all day/night).
So yes, this morning along with my berries I had a bowl of cereal and I am feeling much better for it.

Mat had to do some traveling for work today, he got up at 5am to travel to Tamworth.
He should be back by 6pm and even though that’s only a couple of hours later than when he would usually be home I mss him, as I know he isn’t just 20 minutes away.
However I should toughen up a bit as for the next 2 months he is doing a fair bit of travel for longer than just a day.

Well it’s Monday, 11th January 2010. Christmas has been and gone & we are well into the New Year.
I have made 2 resolutions for 2010 to get my Driver’s licence & to get fit, be healthy and hopefully shed some unwanted kilos!
I went for my first driving lesson in over 2 years last Friday. Before the lesson I was having a load of anxiety (which i never get) about driving. I have been putting off getting my licence due to nerves, but I did it.
The lesson went for 2 hours and it was great. My instructor was very positive and said that I was doing really well, so I have booked another lesson for February. In between classes my mum & mother in law have offered to take me out on the road!
Initially I thought I had to log 50 hours of driving before going for my Provisional licence test but the instructor informed me of a change in law that people over the age of 25 can go for the test at any time. So yes, with a few more professional lessons & driving with my mum & Sue, I am hoping to be on the road (by myself) within a few months.
Now onto the health kick – I have decided to kick start my new ‘healthy lifestyle’ with a detox. My friend told me about a plan that has something to do with Alkaline & Acidic foods, I didn’t really understand the purpose but the foods allowed seemed super healthy so I thought I would give it a go.
I looked on the internet to see what I could find and it mentioned that to maintain health, the diet should consist of 60% alkaline forming foods and 40% acid forming foods. To restore health, the diet should consist of 80% alkaline forming foods and 20% acid forming foods.
After the initial detox I will incorporate some dairy products back into my diet and of course allow a ‘naughty’ day here and there.
I hope to pair this healthy eating plan with at least 3 visits (min) to the gym each week.

So there is 25 days left until Christmas, I have not done any shopping, however I do know what I want to purchase for everyone.
I only work 3 days per week so really I should have plenty of time to go to the shops, I just seem to put it off.
I am hoping to do majority of my shopping tomorrow.
I was going to put the Christmas tree up today however I do not have any decorations.
This is my first year putting up the tree, as we always travel to Gloucester for Christmas eve to spend with my parents & immediate family and on Christmas day we travel to various families houses & have lunch at Mat’s parents house.
This year however, since we have Travis I thought I should put in a little extra effort and have a Christmas tree up in our house!
I think I will put the actual tree up today & purchase decorations tomorrow and then decorate it.
I am also going to get a photo of Travis with Santa at the shops tomorrow, which I plan on doing every year until he decides he is too grown up for it.
