Tickets paid in full! ;-)

Well 6,675 US Dollars Later, we have purchased our tickets home. We are flying out April 7th. We will only be in Christchurch 2 weeks this time as Daniel has to be back for school. I miss the days of splitting my year, 6 months here, 6 months there.
Diet wise, I am back on the horse again. I got on the scale and down to 264. Yeah! weigh in isn't for a few more days so will see how I do!
I only did the treadmil once this week. The last two days, I suffered from a terrible migrane. I haven't had one in a few years but it was totally stress related. My hubs family has put me over the edge. It will be a long two weeks staying there with them, they totally walk all over my hubby finacially and he doesn't say anything or do anything about it. My sis in law is a queen and her kids are the ONLY grandchildren that exist. (funny, I count 5 more but hey what do I know?) IT is frustrating to watch on the other side of the world. I don't know how I am going to handle it face to face. I tend to be loud mouthed. I wear my heart/ feelings on my sleeve, good or bad. I tell my opinions. Though, I am a very concientious person, I always try to put myself in someone elses shoes. And think how they must feel..
I don't agree with things people do but I never hold a grudge.
I am a walking bundle of contradiction. ;-)

How my husband ended up with me, I'll never understand. But oh, how I love him.

Except for today, when we went to get the girls passports and he forgot his drivers liscense. hehe. I had 10 forms, pictures, birth certs, checkbook, my id and the two kids. All he had to do was show up with his drivers liscense. Yeah he forgot. He drove away and he said he could see flames coming out my eyeballs and ears. I believe that may have been true!;-)

I am totally reved up to lose weight for our trip. It is giving me the push I need. I can't let his mum and sister see me at this weight. They are so judgemental and catty.

Can you believe how I am psyching myself out. I have to make a choice right now. I am not going to LET them make me feel inferior. I have a choice how I react. I don't need them to appove of me. I am who I am, my husband loves me and thats all the approval I need. I will make this trip FUN for me and my kids and hopefully my hubby, though he may take off and do his own thing, which is fine. As long as I have a rental car, I will be good as...

Sorry I am all over the place. My head is mixed up jumble right now.
All in all tho I am in a really good place healthy lifestyle wise. This is my year. I am not going to quit!

I am doing Paulene's 12 week Challenge.

During the next 10 weeks that are left, I will:

* Drink 10 glasses of water per day

* excersize 30 minutes 3 days per week

* excersize 60 minutes 4 days per week

* eat breakfast everyday.

* track my food

* cut back diet soda to 2 per day (yeah, I drink like 5 usually, hows the chemical hole in my tummy doing?)


There we have it.

Have a happy day!!
