Gandalf was a very wise character. He seemed to have ample time to save the worlds and bring about the restoration of peace and the demise of Sauron with his band of friends. But then, he had a giant eagle to give him lifts at his whim, and a beautiful white pony that he could call with ease and which ran with the wind. I have a fiesta. And no eagle.
So this week has been a long one. I feel that I have been quiet, but that's mostly because I've spent all my waking hours up and moving, and not enough hours sleeping. Last weekend was busy, and included illness, so by Monday I was worn out. Add to that a week of sickness at work (not by me, by others but I have to cover) and my body still recovering, and two gym sessions, and two sparring sessions, and you have a VERY worn out G.
My lovely, incredible, generally extremely thoughtful (most of the time) boyfriend went out this morning and did all the chores required and left me sleeping. Oh my lord, I really needed it. Which is why I do not begrudge him his time playing Battlefield 3 right now. He has earnt it. I even went out and bought him a little pie treat to say thank you - well, it is our treat day. I had a Cadbury Creme Egg. Nom nom nom!!
I lost a total of 1.4kg this week, which is one of my strongest losses. I suspect possibly because I've been constantly moving but also because I've been poorly. But the great news is that it pushes me over my 10% body weight target (half way point) so I'm thrilled!! I'm now over half way in my weight loss challenge to myself, and have the sum total of 8.5kg left to lose before September. I am now convinced that I will be able to achieve it. I am starting to imagine what that day will feel like. And also to have a look around for pretty dresses that Matty can buy for me as my treat. Matt put in another strong performance this week, considering he was also ill last week.
We have friends over tonight for treat night and will be off to Sukathai once more, love that place!! Tomorrow I intend to bake a sneaky cake and then get other people to eat it. Then just one more week until my parents come for the weekend - yey!! In fact, it's only two more weeks until I have a week off holiday. I'd wish it here sooner but we have so much excitement between now and then that I daren't!!
Back to the original theme, though, of this particular entry in my blog. I know that this is life, when your work is never done. I know that we have made good steps this week to sort the house out and, for once, it is clean and tidy before the weekend. I did a monumental amount of washing during the week to get on top of the serious backlog that had built up. But I just cannot help but think we are actually a little TOO busy for my liking. I think I am going to start to reserve a few weekends for just "nothing" - just to relax at home and catch up with hobbies etc. Either that, or I'm going to employ a magical giant eagle and a king of ponies.
To be fair, the latter DOES sound quite exciting. I wonder if they sell them on Amazon....
