Itsmytime's Journal

I have spent the weekend lovingly smoothing, leveling and grinding the glue off the concrete around the pool.  Did I say lovingly?  Must be all that concrete dust in my head.  Or exhaustion.

If I never see another concrete griinder in my life, it will be too bloody soon.  My back aches, because the stupid person who designed it - probably a MAN, designed it with the handles just a touch too low.   Heaven knows how men use it.  Ohh , they don't, they get their wives to do it.

As the  machine spins around it throws itself to the left, so my left leg and hip are covered with bruises.  My arms are vibrated to within an inch of their lives.

I am all for vibrators, dont get me wrong, but there is nothing erotic or even sensuall about this bone jarring, nerve wrecking contraption. 

My skin is rough like sand paper. 

But all good things come to an end.  I dont have to grind anymore. YIPPEE.

The spray concrete man came today to clean it and will start tomorrow and hopefully will be finished Friday.

Hmm have to finish this later.

Yes yes yes, the scales have gone below the dreaded 97 kg.

I have written this journal once, then lost it.  LOL

I know I am different inside, because once, not that long ago, losing my journalentry would have sent me into a depressive state.  Now it is just annoying!!  Yippee for progress!!!

I have been on the plateau between 97 and 98 kg for a month and a half. 

Admittedly I have not tried overly hard, or stuck to any exercise regime, so it was nice to see that I could maintain, just by living.

I have been focusing on other stuff.  Men - husband, relationships, etc,  getting the farm ready to sell, getting ready to pick our fruit (we start picking Monday 18th - anyone want a job?), getting office work up to date, getting equipment maintained etc...

But now I am anxious to get rid of the next several kg.  For several reasons.

We are going to the snow on the 29th Aug for a week.  The boys have never seen snow.  I have not been looking forward to it, but yesterday I started to dig out old ski stuff and book lessons for the kids etc and I started to get a bit keener.  To some degree it just seems like a holiday for hubby and kids and work for me.   Mothers always get the washing, cooking, cleaning, packing cars, holding the gloves, etc...

D has a friend with a house down there so, at least it will be cheaper.  He is really excited and keen to go.  So are the kids. "How many days till we go Mummy?"  Cute, but drives you nuts!

I figure if I am going to ski, I had better exercise more before we go, get fitter etc.

So hopefully I can stay ontrack till the end of Aug.

Only 12 kg to go.

Hugs and love to you all.

Have shaken off the lethargy

Going down.
