Youngest woke up with a sor tummy. Neither of my kids complain about school. He couldn't eat his breakfast and was almost in tears when he told me! I was booked for work but mum life comeS first so cancelled work and got him changed into trackies. Turns out it was the right choice, he's not eaten all day and hardly moved from the sofa. (Apart from to dash to the toilet)

Minimal jobs done, he wanted me to stay close.

Hubs worked so hard in the the yard this week. Lots of wood split and stacked. The kids and I helped but it was mainly his job to plough through. My house is spotless, I've blitzed it from head to toe. hubs helped with the higher jobs that I can't reach but that was mainly my job while he was outside sorting wood, we make a good team.

This week I had a slice of birthday cake. It was so sweet, I enjoyed it while I had it but honestly it felt like a dead weight in my stomach.  Glad I had it of course it was nice to share in my sons birthday cake but I'm okay to not have any more until my eldest sons birthday in 6 months. Having said that I'm totally fine or have some keto cakes...different story!

Metro Melbourne is back in lockdown, thankfully regional vic are not but gee it's a worry. The shops
are looking bare in fact I went to aldi for air fresheners for the house about 4pm today and the entire meats and dairy section were so empty they had their blinds down on them. I was shocked! Anyway I bought my air fresheners and the checkout lady laughingly commented 'no toilet rolls with that, you must be my first today!"

Eldest is at a sleepover and I'm happy for him, it's a lovely family. Youngest is here and excited for his birthday party tomorrow (3 friends at trampoline place) my house is spotless, hubs and I worked so hard today to get it totally reset. Tomorrow morning we will just blitz the veranda and then enjoy it! Who knows what work will bring for me next terms but hubs has realised that I can't do it all if I'm working full time.

 Looking to buy a new caravan. Our ski trip 2020 and ourGold Coast trip 2021 have been cancelled due to coronavirus. Having a bigger van  gives us flexibility to be able to go away for a weekend and being self-contained means we meet the requirements of some of the new restrictions.  We have seen
a van that we like  and are hoping to get my finance approved soon.

School holidays!

Our ski trip has been cancelled. Ther isn't enough snow on the mountain, first time we've had this Trouble early in the season. We are trying to reschedule for during the term.

We did an IKEA trip to sort out eldest sons bedroom. He keeps it tidy and we want to get our heads
around a more grown up space for him for high school a bit of an oasis of calm for him. Currently wading through the flat pack.

I've been off my kilter with keto, just cravings galore for take away hot chips. Goodness it's been hard!

Today I have a list on my iPad of jobs to do in the next few days but I also want to get into the veggie garden and plant some veggies I got a Bunnings  reduced
6x kale for $3
6x Punnet of bok Choi, wombok and something else  for $3

Kale I'm taking a punt with, it's not a veggie we Buy but I've seen a lot of keto people make keto chips with it so for $3 it's Worth a gamble. The Asian Punnet will be used in some sort of stir fry I imagine

Tonight we had burgers for dinner with cheese, onions, beetroot on low carb buns from Aldi. The boys had normal buns and so,e oven chips too with a jelly I'd made yesterday afterwards. They were happy and so were we.

Tomorrow (friday) will be a leftovers day. In the fridge I have
Tuna fritters
Butter chicken
And a chicken breast stuffed with cheese

Friday
Last day of work for the week and it's been an enjoyable but tiring week

Hoping I can get in to the 114 numbers this week

This week I've eaten 99% compliant this week
Keto pizza from homemade dough
Cauliflower bake
Lots of coffee and cream
Different dinners frozen during iso from the freezer
All compliant snacks


Work is good but due to the nature of it at the moment I'm not able to move around much. 



Current Weightloss goal is to fit in my ski pants. I can get them on but there is a stubborn belly that won't let them close...3 weeks until we go away.
