So now both boys are at the local school - as opposed to one being at a school two suburbs away - we can all walk/bike ride/scooter to school. Jasper's pre-school is two blocks further on, so on Mondays and Tuesdays we just keep ridin' to drop him off.
We worked out today that it's 2.2km from our house to the boys school. Most days of the week I'm doing that four times a day so I'm walking 8.8km! How awesome is that!
Not only am I getting exercise, the boys are and get this - Jasper rides all the way and all the way back. My little 3 year old is riding 4.4km a day. Without one single complaint. In fact, when I picked him up from kindy yesterday because I though he'd be too tired to ride home and it was too hot he gave me a doozy of a performance at not riding home.
It is early days, but what I'm loving is that because I'm out and moving my eating has been significantly curtailed. For example - no junk food or chocolate in a week. Awesome.

little victories
Have actually stood up to myself over the last few days:
1. Went to the races for a couple of hours on Sat afternoon and limited myself to 2 champagnes and maybe 3 corn chips
2. Increased incidental activity that also achieved something by doing some gardening on the weekend. Unfortunately my back was buggered yesterday afternoon, but seemed OK again this arvo so I dug a couple more holes tonight and then managed 30 minutes on the treadmill too.
3. Had a morning tea thing at school and limited myself to one half date scone (and hunted around till I found one with no butter) and then had 2 bites of a cupcake (Jem had licked the icing off and given it to me, but I left the rest even though it was nice) and one piece of slice Jem gave to me. But that was it and I counted the points in.
4. Tonight I cooked home grown lamb chops and mash for the others and then made myself a salad. Added a leg and thigh of a BBQ chook but removed all the skin (sprocket enjoyed it)
5. Have bought some WW meals for the freezer so I can cook for the family and then hook into a frozen dinner and salad/vegies. Also have heaps of WW desserts so I can satisfy my sweet tooth.
6. I am writing down everything in my little log book - I have had it for a nearly a year - I was going to lose 5kg leading up to Christmas last year (instead I gained 15!)
I am actually proud of myself and looking forward to seeing how much I have lost this week!!??!!
