saturday

Another busy day.  Three loads of laundry, two bathrooms and toilets cleaned, a filthy kitchen scoured from top to bottom, plus the sheets changed.  And all before noon!

Predictably, this wore me out, so I then had a two-hour nap.  When I woke up, SO had done the food shopping and actually made lunch.  This is on a par with hell freezing over, so I was delighted.  We even ate fruit afterwards. 

We are on a health kick, effective as of today.  Last night when we were getting ready for dinner at the restaurant, SO was going to wear a tie…. until he realised that none of his dress shirts do up around his neck any more.  So we’re eating proper food (like tonight, we had grilled fish and vegies for dinner, rather than cereal) and exercising.  We went for a 50-minute walk tonight, and it incorporated hills.  We were both puffing and blowing, but we did it. 

I hope it continues.  We both need to live a healthier lifestyle.  And we both need to lose weight.  Especially me – I’m getting to the point where my size-16 pants are getting tight.  This is completely ridiculous.  So yes, we will be welcoming sprouts and salads into our lives from now on.  Not quite sure what this means for our Singapore trip, though.  I said to SO that all it means is that we’ll need to do a lot of sight-seeing and walking around, which should be fine.
