"Memories & Mayhem"

Well we did it again.... the Boop and I finally dragged our sorry arses back to Fat Club and promised that we will be soooooo good ... from tomorrow of course!!

Well we did plan to be so good starting tonight but The Boy followed us back to the shop when we got home from Fat Club and presented us with an irrisistible selection of Chinese Tucker for tea...... so we said.... starting tomorrow of course!!! NO ONE says no to Chinese!! especially FREE chinese!!!!

The holidays are over... the kidlets have all returned to their parents... the Boop has once more lost her car to her daughter so she is hoofing it anyway.... and I have promised to turn over a new leaf in regards to my sewing, my internet shopping, my webstories..... my book-keeping (sighhhhh) and of course.... my bloody diet!!!

As we sat licking the honey sauce off our fingers tonight the Boop came to the realisation that the reason our diets have been floundering lately is because we failed to make new goals after we both achieved so many of our original goals during the Xmas holidays.

the Boop's main goal was to get enuff blubber off to enjoy running around the campsite all holidays like a flaming looney.... which I understand she achieved with bells on!!! (oh yes... and a bloody boogie board!!) She returned from her long camping holiday with a suntan, skinned knees, bruised bum and sore arms after being dragged behind a speeding boat with only a few inches of plastic covered foam between her and the waves!

She still gets a silly grin on her face when she remembers her "water skiing efforts!!"

My goal was to be able to swim around the town pool TWICE without stopping. By the end of summer I was swimming around the pool TEN times without stopping!!!! I was painfully slow..... I was not particularly attractive..... my cossie was a scream to see... my tattoos frightened the small children and their politely sensitive mothers.... But I did it!!! The kids eventually got used to me chugging round and round the pool for 45 minutes and would either dive across me.... or race me!! At least it got me out of the shop for the afternoon and got my knees moving... and trimmed a little fat off my "tuckshop arms".

But swimming has ended, the pool has closed.... dunno if it is closed for the winter or to protect the public from the sight of me in a cossie!!

My goal was well achieved and is now gone.... the Boop has also achieved a number of her goals too... the holiday fitness, the water sports... rolling around in the tent with her skinny little husband (gawd!! fly on the wall time!!).... taking OUT all the extensions she put into her clothes last year!!

So TOMORROW!!!!!!! we make new goals and start seriously dieting again.... cooking proper meals.... avoiding the chocolate fridge out front and the alcohol fridge out back!!! NO MORE EXCUSES!!!!!!!

sighhhhhhhhh
