Going ok...

Well week 1 down into the 12 week challenge and I have lost 500gms for this first week! And I avoided the scales all week which amazed me so I had no idea at all what they were going to say when I got on them this morning... And to be honest last night I was thinking that I may have even had a gain as I haven't had that greater week for various reasons. So to have a 500gm loss makes me happy and is on track for my goal of 500gms per week...

So what have we been upto for the last week... not a lot really. Just plodding on and TRYING to get motivated for the house tidying since we go on the market next Monday! OMG!!! I am so scared and worried that no one will like our place and we will never sell... but am sure that is just first timer nerves and we will do ok. Okay I am worried how I am going to make sure the place is tidy each morning before going to work since I have enough to do each morning as it is already... And the Real Estate Agent is not going to bring people through after 6pm so we can bath Rachel and do her bedtime routine without people coming through so that will be good. First home open is Sunday 2nd March but it will be on Open2view by next Wednesday!

And for those long time readers, some of you might recall in January 2007 I was bitten on the arm and reacted badly to whatever had bitten me (tried to do a link back to the original post but it won't let me do any links whatsoever). Anyway, I have been bitten a few times in the last couple of weeks which we have put down to me sleeping on top of the sheets etc (with a nightie on of course) but they have just been itchy and then gone... however on Saturday morning I awoke to 9 new bites and 8 of them enlarged quite considerably and became red, hot, painful, extremely itchy and were just getting bigger and bigger! So went off to the Dr's on Sunday morning, and at least 3 of them were at the beginning stages of infection so am on a 4 day dose of a very strong AB to kick them in the butt! Am also taking the anti-hestimane tablets too... but if they haven't gone down by Wednesday morning I need to get my butt back to the Dr's who will put me on to a specialist. They seem to have gone down a bit this morning but still red, warm and itchy...

Anyway, best I get stuck into the de-cluttering which is why I am off work... so will catch ya all later...

Congratulations on the loss ... a loss is a loss - well done!

Sorry to hear about your bites - I hope that the antibiotics do their thing quickly and you are back to 100% soon.

Good luck with the house sale too - hopefully the perfect buyers won't be too far away - your place will sell when the time is right.

Have you heard anything further about the Christchurch job yet?

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Cheers,
Paula (Christchurch)
