The photo's above were taken by myself while on holiday with my family in Cape Town, we had an attempted photo shoot...not so easy when you have three little monkey's - The photo's tell their own story....
Last night I had a webcam chat with them, the first time I've seen them since I left Cape Town over 2 weeks ago. There is always great excitement whenever they know we going to see each other on the computer...the bigger two hang on the table both trying to get as close as possible to the computer screen. I always start my chat with blowing them kisses and love it when my little grandson blows them back at me, its too cute. I really miss them but am so grateful for skype as in the days gone by this would not have been possible. I do feel for families who lived apart back then. Today it's so much easier and I make sure I keep remembering that when the longing for them gets a hold of my emotions.
As most of you know I'm on the Weight Watchers eating plan - its been the best thing I've done as after years of yoyo dieting on very crash diet around and never losing long term I've found something that works for me...it's a plan I can live with long term as there is nothing I have had to give up.
What I like about this plan is how I can plan ahead...for example, this weekend we have one where I'm going to be doing more drinking and eating than I would usually do on a weekend - so now instead of eating all of my 20 points daily this week, I'm keeping it to 18 points a day, this way I will have 12 points plus my 20 a day for the weekend. If I find I don't need it then that's even better, but I want to be prepared. Nothing worse than climbing on the scale on Monday mornings and seeing a gain. I hate that....
I was asked if I stil want to lose weight...yes...1.8kgs, want to get to 60kg's ( 132lbs ) then will start maintaining. I've been giving the maintaining program as when I reached 62kg's I thought I'd be happy there and did do the maintaining program for 2 months...but now with winter around the corner, I know one eats a bit more than in warmer weather, so want to have those 2 kg's to play with...my goal is to be 2kgs lighter by the time we go away over Xmas time so I can eat and not worry too much and of course...drink gluwein!!
