Busy doing "stuff" ...
So it's been a busy couple of weeks. For the three of you who occasionally pay attention, I thought perhaps an update on the reason behind my erratic posting might be in order ...
First off, it appears having a social life and a circle of friends has snuck up on me when I wasn't looking. We had our work mid-year function last weekend, and in between the planning for that (I was roped into the Social Club Committee on day two of my new job) and the organisation, since then I haven't had time to breathe.
(I promise I will post some pics and some more details later this weekend ... it was a total blast !!!)
One of the women at work and I have signed up for Weight Watchers together. I wasn't happy with how I was feeling since we moved down here ... although I don't look overweight I just wasn't comfortable. And apparently the last few kilos can be the hardest to shift ... so what I really needed was support, motivation and new ideas. Besides, if it's going to cost me money I know I'm more likely to actually stick to the programme ... I'm not going to pay $17 a week to put on weight !!!
I lost 900g last week, have been walking with P every lunch time and am feeling really good about my decision so far.
Since we took the kids to Alexandra at the start of the holidays, and knowing that S was taking ice skating lessons this term, I decided I wanted to start again. I used to figure skate when I was younger (I did the math and realised it was 21 years ago ... which made me feel very very old that I could remember something from that long ago !!!!!) and so I'm starting on Monday night with a whole group of other adults-only.
The MOTH and a friend have started playing squash again, and as soon as I finish typing this we're off to the courts so I can try to hit a ball for the first time in over ten years.
Combine that with having actually made time to have a coffee with a girlfriend twice in the past two weeks, going out for dinner this coming week with the people from the place I used to work, and the basic necessities like having my nails and my hair done ... and you'll understand why I laughed when the MOTH asked me the other night if I want to try and find a scrapbooking class to join like I did up north ...
Where am I going to find the time ?!?!?

Sounds like your new job is working out well for friends and socials. Good stuff.
Good for you for joining WW. I've been thinking of doing that again myself. I kinda need someone to shove me in a cupboard and feed me through a straw to help me lose weight, and I certainly have a lot more to lose than you do lol Congrats on the 900g loss. Just the extra exercise makes me feel better, so I know where you're coming from.
How cool that you're doing the ice skating classes, it's not like you're not in the right place for it eh? lol My ex husband tried to teach me how to play squash many years ago...unfortunately his competitive streak kept coming out and the fighting began lol
Scrapbooking really is becoming quite a craze isn't it? I've a close friend who imports albums and papers from overseas to sell on TradeMe. She's always running out of supplies and having to reorder.
thanks for the update!
Hi Kassi -- I saw you swung by my blog and thought I'd check out yours. Congrats on the Weight Watchers :) I did that here, in the States a couple of years ago and loved it.
