Looking back on this week, I'll tell you this much - I'll be quite happy if I don't have to repeat it. It started on Wednesday when the City Power decided to cut our power/electricity!! I was fuming and there was nothing I could - our Landlord had not sorted out an issue with the prior tenant and we were now going to pay for that - not pay as in cash but in the effects of not having power for 4 days and 3 nights. The Landlord sorted out the account pretty promptly but it then took City Power forever to reconnect us. We only got our electricity back yesterday morning.I also did not achieve the goal had set for myself in weight loss. I picked up 0.2kg's instead of losing the 1.8kg's I had set for myself. To say I was crushed is an understatement. The battle with scale continues to rage on and some days can be very trying. With the trauma over the weigh-in hanging over me I decided to go and hunt for some warmer pants for the cooler days. I was either going to end up more frustrated or end up pleasantly surprised. Thankfully I ended up presently surprised when I realised that not only could I fit into a size 18 at Woolies (my fave store, although on the more pricey side) but I could fit into a size 18 house brand at one of our retailers. I was literally jumping for joy!! I think my boys thought I was nutz....LOL At Pick n' Pay, I managed to get pants and matching top for less than what a pair of pants at Woolies would have cost me.
Yesterday we took ourselves off to the local Spur to watch my rugby team who were in the semi-finals. I support the Blue Bulls , hubby supports the Stormers (W. Cape) and majority of my family support The Sharks (Natal team). I am the odd man out but that is okay. We had fun - and I ended up giving half my burger to hubby as my tummy said 'no more'. LOL
I am trying to get myself to sit in front of the torch!! It was one of those things which I guess I'll just have to do. LOL
Have a super week everyone. Keep strong.
Hugs
Michelle
