That’s minutes. Oh well. Little by little. Thursday I’ll do 30 min and then on Saturday the prescription is an hour.
Following the lead of the mighty GGtI in not being All Complaining All the Time (not that there’s anything wrong with that), here’s my list of 10 things that made this week a good one.
1. Noddie is totally the best in her swimming class – after 3 weeks, vindicating my decision to delay sending her until she was old enough to have appropriate motor co-ordination and social skills. Proud Mummy/bang my head moment: we go to the pool nearly every week, and nearly every week Noddie wants to float on her back - with her chin tucked right down on her chest. So nearly every week I suggest she might like to point her chin up at the ceiling – and nearly every week she bellows “NO!” in her implacably contrary way. In swimming class she is the only one who points her chin at the ceiling.
2. Damn but I like riding my bike! Last night I went out – coz my back is much better and the physio said I could! - and it was wild and woolly, and windy, and the rain spattering on my jacket made a cool sound, and my yellow glasses made everything look spectacularly eerie - and when I got home the heater was on and Noddie was teaching the Spousal Unit how to play the triangle.
3. I have quite a bit to do at work. This is good. Trust me, there are few things more soul-sapping than feeling pointless.
4. We are all completely in love with the dinosaur fairy lights that J brought home for Noddie’s room.
5. In spite of my pizza-and-wine fuelled pity party, a sensational and excessive Vietnamese lunch out with J, and a week of no exercise, I have maintained my weight. The downward crawl continues – is 3.5kg in 4 months some kind of record for slowness?
6. I actually like my new haircut
7. It only took about an hour to fix the mistake I made in the cardie I’m knitting for Noddie
8. My Bulldogs RULE!
9. It appears that the people at the church where Noddie has started Sunday school are nice and interesting enough to make up for the minister’s simplistic fundamentalist theology.
10. Tonight J is working late so Noddie and I are going to rug up and go for an Adventure Walk along the creek in the dark!

Love it - maybe I need a "Good things this week" list too.... but moaning is far easier!
Enjoy your adventure walk. 15 min run sounds good :D
Noddie sounds alot like David and Mendy's Grace... Mother-daughter relationships are so titillating :-)
Gosh you make me laugh, are you ever gonna publish a book? You should.
Glad your back is better!! I sit with a dicky shoulder still.
Nice list. How typical that Noddie would refuse to point her chin up for you and then go do it in class. LOL.
Sure, rub in the fact that your bulldogs bulldogged by beloved eagles...bullies...I suppose it is payback for last year so I will accept it gravefully and wish you luck on your adventure walk. Hopefully you run into frogs, owls and the like.
Little by little indeed. You must take care of yourself afterall.
And with the weight loss, I am *certain* that studies have shown that the slower you take it off, the more likely you are to maintain it. Sustainable choices and all that malarky :D
And lets be fair, 3.5kg is a good amount of weight to have shed, however long it took you!
