Friday

First of all congratulations to Kate and family on the arrival of Natalia! Love the name they chose as well. I don't think there are many blogs around where you get up to date news on a birth and then that ambulance update. A bit nerve racking.

Friday already!! Must say I've have had a better week. I went back to the gym yesterday!! The physio said to try the whole program and although my ankle was a bit niggly I did it!! Wasn't too sure about the leg press though, I sat there and wondered if my ankle would handle it, but no problems. I'm feeling a lot happier, I really didn't like being out of action. Eating is also back on track. It needed to!! The scales are back up to 71.4 which is frustrating but I haven't really helped myself. It shocks me how easily weight goes on and how hard it is to get the scales to go downward again! But we all know that.

The gym phoned up yesterday morning to say it was time for my assessment and new program. This was the assessment that I was determined to make sure I did, hopefully getting a better result than the one a couple of months ago (which was fair) Since that assessment I've really tried to make regular gym visits, and increase my exercise. I was going well and was really sure I would get a better result but in what seems to be the story of my life lately - just when I'm going well something jumps up and slaps me back down again. At least I know my ankle is coming right and this was only a temporary hiccup in this never ending journey of mine!Sort of thinking I may have to hold off on the assessment for a couple of weeks until I get back into routine.

Our life here doesn't seem to be any quieter, or slower. MM reckons that life speeds up and goes faster and faster and then you fly of the end....... The mind boggles. We have a rental property and when chasing up rent this morning found out the tenant is leaving mid July. Good in one way as the rent chase up happens a bit but I feel we are in for a huge clean up, getting the place right and re-advertising for another tenant, which don't really need at the moment. Then the carpet saga, we had carpet laid late last year - it is flawed and they are going to replace it. Has taken forever to get to this stage and the date for the new carpet was last Monday, we had starting moving furniture and then got the phone call to say the second lot of carpet had colour variations as well!! The next batch won't be ready until late July. So a date is now booked in for the first week in August.

I'm off to aqua soon then meeting Jenny (Jo's mum) for coffee. I better keep moving....

Catch you all later:)
