Good morning everyone J I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I LOVE Mondays J It’s a fresh start, the beginning of a whole new week to define goals and achieve what I set out to do. Optimistic, I know, especially with two unpredictable kids in tow, but I like to think it could be successful. In line with the upgrade to Kate: Version 2.0, I thought I better be accountable and give you all an update as to where I am at...
Well, the transition to a healthier, fitter, trimmer and happier me is underway. On Friday, when I collected Sophie from Kindy, one of her dear little friends came up to me, patted my tummy and asked if there was a baby in there!!!!!! Ah, no, the baby was actually on my hip! How mortifying. That was my light bulb moment, when the switch was flicked and I am now all of the sudden very serious about losing weight. The last three mornings, before doing anything else, I have completed 30 minutes on the cross trainer followed by some stretches and strength exercises. Mat and I have struck a deal whereby I will exercise at 5am each morning and if/when the kids wake up, he has to tend to them whilst getting himself ready for work. It’s a tight schedule seeing as he leaves for work at 5:50am but as far as I’m concerned, in his role as a carpenter, donning some clothes, whipping up a sandwich and sipping coffee is not exactly difficult to achieve in the 50 minute window. This morning was a hit so fingers crossed it continues to be successful J
Regarding organisation, things are slowly coming together. You know that course I signed up for in an effort to get my s*%t together? Well, I am still in Module One but the course is up to Module Five so I kind of need to pull my finger out and get organised to complete it...oh the irony. The bits I have read and completed are very useful though so it is proving to be beneficial, well, if you ignore the fact I am behind by four modules anyway J
As for my overall wellbeing and happiness, today I am onto something great. It’s 8am as I sit down to write this blog entry and so far, things are going along nicely. The kids and I are all fed, dressed, teeth cleaned and ready for the day. Beds are made, washing is sorted. I’ve played games with the kids, wrestled with the kids (involuntarily whilst I was attempting to do Pilates on the lounge room floor) and read 2 of the recommended 7 books a day to the kids. Elliott’s back down for his morning sleep and Sophie is happily playing dress-ups. I love today J
I hope you are all having a wonderful morning too. Enjoy your day and I will leave you with this quote to inspire you for a productive week ahead:
Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap...but by the seeds you plant. Robert Louis Stevenson.
