If sweat was the NEW DIET.......

I would be an official size 0!!!!!! nearly 3 weeks since I have last posted, sorry I have been working 40 hour weeks, ALL I can say to that is thank goodness my charges (the children I look after) ARE back at school........
Since the last post THOSE GARDENS well let me just say defining the word heinous in there is when the weeds SHADE you as you work!!! garden looked great(very small vege patch say 8ft by 4ft) when finished and rest of the gardens were just 5 min HOE jobs!!!
THE weather well, sweating alot and drinking ice cold water like a fish, (we put 3 mini pumps in the freezer at night and one LARGE pump, and voila ICE COLD water ALL DAY), but honestly this last week has been trying, no sleep at night and then nana naps in the afternoon heat (this weekend just passed). IT was soooo hot on the weekend we didnt head to the lake BECAUSE it was TOO DARN HOT!
Managed a few walks just 5km ones very slow and very hot, a few things I am grateful for this week, A: that I dont live in Melbourne, B: that I have reasonable health,C: that the heavens opened and it rained.
Walked this morning BUT in this stifling mugginess SWEATED more dont know whats worse HOT heat or MUGGY heat, hope everyone else is coping, and yet strangely i enjoyed it. AND too make matters worse I am sitting here with Eulactol Heel Balm on both feet and plastic BAGS covering my feet, they are swimming in sweat NOT a GOOD LOOK at all, also in the last few weeks I have been caught out in my lava lava(sarong) by visitors I AM sorry for them but in this heat I DONT CARE!
Sad to see school starting my son has his last year at primary/intermediate level and next year is college, exciting and scary all at the same time, he had an awesome start and is loving the new class, AND had RUDDY homework the first night HUGE AMOUNT!!!!! We went to see Twlight together LOVED it . I HAVE always loved Vampire movies the mystique the romanticism and the GORE. We had an awesome holidays although I worked right through and some shocking hours (he is able to come with me to the house I work at as a nanny/caregiver/housekeeper/cook), we went camping together just a few days, then he went off camping for 3 days FIRST time in nearly 5 YEARS i havent had him so was really nice WHAT did I DO, JACK NOTHING!!!! we have swum at the lake, played cards, board games, Crib, Canasta, I taught him 500 3rd game he beat me!!!! scrabble, tri ominos(like dominos but with 3 sided pieces) so all in all quite pleasant.
WEIGHT is exactly the same but I dont care I am loving being back walking and can feel albeit the 1 hour walks are having some benefit(used to be my minimum time now at the moment are my maximum times!!! sheesh) have a long way to go BUT may even squeeze in Huntly half marathon yet!!! and know that Taupo is definately on so at least I can enjoy that all over again the whole 3 hours and 51min(that was my first time in TORRENTIAL downpour and freezing cold) and I WANT to do it ALL AGAIN MAD I TELL YA!!!!! And actually cold weather right now WELL its defiantely appealing!! Ask me that again in August!
Loving having salad and cold options because I tell ya the oven on is NOT AN OPTION!!!!!
Ciao
