It is quiet on the home front now! DH was first into bed, then the 14 yr old, then the 13 yr old and last but not least the 8 yr old.

We made Pizza's for dinner - which was a great idea, as the three grandchildren have very different tastes - particularly the youngest who is a cousin to the other two! It was lovely, and the kids enjoyed each other's company.

There was a big Mario Bros tournament happening on the Wii early in the evening!

The day started with me not hurrying too much - decided to go to soccer at 10 and then visit mum. She has improved and is looking great for her. She was a bit sleepy - but apparently the last 2 nights she has been talking all night! She is drinking well and that is the main thing.

When I arrived home, I came up with a bright idea that DH and I should go to the club for lunch. Not a good idea because of the food, but a good idea to just do something together. It is very easy to get into the way of doing things separately and then not doing anything together. It was very nice, I chose Lasagne - and only at half of it and half of the potato bake and had a large soda water.

TRACKING .... GRRR ... why don't I do it? The day just goes and here it is just after 11 pm and I am finally winding down, finishing 'sparking' and nearly ready for bed.

I get up in the morning, have a coffee or 2 with skim milk, then a good breakfast - this morning 2 slices of rye bread with tomato on it. I keep trying to stay with the filling and healthy choices WW suggests - mainly because of my lack of TRACKING! Then the day slips away, and I sort of stay on the filling and healthy and sort of just eat what I think.

AND of course, this type of attitude is not going to get the weight off. If I could control what I eat and tracked what I eat - I wouldn't be over weight, would I? Actually OBESE - that is what the BMI reading for my height and weight says.

Then there is EXERCISE!!!! or the lack of exercise! I have done around 7900 steps today - and that is the grand sum of my exercise. No stationary bike, none of the DVD's I have on exercise, Zumba etc., no walking - even a walking DVD - NONE!!!

I have put certain words into CAPITAL letters - the main ones being:

TRACKING and EXERCISE - well actually, lack of ....

I am going to have to get into a routine! and GET ORGANISED.

Late night thoughts, but true thoughts! This needs to be addressed.

The positives of today more outweigh the negatives above - soccer, seeing my mum, lunch with DH, the grandchildren being here, getting the music organised and the pew sheet done, cuddling Max this morning, planting some annuals that nearly died because of lack of water on my part.

Tomorrow is another day .... the first day of the rest of my life ... LOL
