Not to chipper

I haven't posted in a few days, as I've been busy, stressed and not really focused on any one thing. I managed to track my food last week - right up to about 6-30pm Friday - it was all over after that. The weekend was a bit of a write-off entailing lots of eating and drinking, and not nearly as much exercise as I had planned. Now I have the flu, or a nasty cold, either way, I'm not at work today and I won't be going for my planned walk tonight. I'm a bit irritated as I have been eating well, and exercising more, but the stress has got me down. My loss for this week is modest (.6kg) and I'm not sure I can sustain it without exercising. I hope I feel better by Friday.

I think my body is craving a holiday of some kind. I haven't had a decent break from work in a long time. Christmas the last few years has been a bit of a family affair which, for me, is stressful and not at all relaxing. I want a couple of weeks off, my style > no routines, no best behavior and no RSL Chinese! C and I are even thinking of stealing a midweek mini-break in the Hunter. His Mum will be in town for a week at the end of October so we will try and drive her home (to Tamworth) and stay in the Hunter on the way back. I'm not sure if I can get the time off from work yet, but I'm going to give it a go. Wish I had more holidays up my sleeve!

I'm going to finish this up and do some B&B research. Hope everyone is having a decent week.
