I have gone back and forth so much with exercising and trying to eat healthier!Well early last week I threw a tantrum  decided I needed to just do it.

My mum had given me a bag full of weight watchers pro point things,the booklets,calculator,everything!So I am 8 days in and so far so good (especially considering we have had 2 birthdays in that time!).I love that fruit is 0 points!So trying when I'm wanting to snack to just grab some fruit (which is good anyway,I have realised that I go days without eating any because I'm aware the girls need it more than me.BUT a healthy mum is hopefully a healthy and happy household!So buying more fruit now :p ).Obviously not going to meetings,but Steve is helping out with it quite a bit (as in goes through the booklets and tells me what I can eat :p ).S offered for me to do a weekly weigh in at her place,but I'm not sure about weighing myself at all at the moment. I'm really worried about doing this the healthy way,and for me my mind goes straight to not eating when I see what I weigh... I'm a work in progress ok?!
So I have 27 points a day which being a week in ,Im finding it hard to use them all.But I do,so thats what matters right?I didnt realise really that I quite often dont have lunch,and the amount of crap I eat!!Oy!!!!!Onwards and upwards now right?!
The awesome thing about Isabella being at school is I HAVE  to walk her to and from school 5 days a week which each days amounts to 5.6 kms alone!So instead of using the extra points I could be for the exercise Im not and hoping I'll start losing weight.I dont want to lose heaps (I like my clothes ok!I dont want to buy a whole new wardrobe,but would love to feel better in the ones I have!),but in a year am hoping for about 10kgs.
Im also still training for the half marathon (walking remember NOT running!) which is in early May.Im doing it with a friend and with an extra walk added in,most days Im doing around 7kms a day,we will build that up each week to more.But yeah,Im finding it really good that no matter how I am feeling I just have to get out and do the school run at least.

So thats whats going on with that :) Hoping I am finally doing it in a healthy way that I can maintain.

Also,because I know I posted about it,but we as a couple decided to not join the LDS church (can you sense the it wasnt so much my decision?!It just got to the point where we were arguing about it so much that it wasnt good for our relationship or for us as a family).I LOVE the church and will happily go to services every now and then but not with the aim of joining.
But we came to a compromise and have been attending the Catholic church for a few weeks,which we both love.Will be meeting with a priest soon to talk about things. (but thats for another more in depth post,another day.But I do want to say that,because of an awesome 3 hour phone call to my close friend Steve and I have realised we need to get back into the Word.Didnt realise how much I had missed it!)

AND Steve has been given a days work a week for the next few months with the company he is working for at the moment.It means he doesnt have to travel to Tauranga every weekend and we will have more money to save!!It has been a bit of a leap of faith for us,but trying to rest in the knowledge that God has our backs.

Yup,so thats a little bit about whats going on with us at the moment :) Life is an awesome journey at the moment!!
