I'm the cuddly one...

This week has been my biggest struggle. My back is still sore so I'm not exercising at all. I go home from work and just lie on my stomach, being idle. Grrr!! This is the second time in 3 weeks that I've been hurt from trying to do some work with weights. I'm using the lightest weight on the machine. I obviously need to do lots of core strength work before going back to the weights. Being too keen to shift the weight can be detrimental to my health it seems!
Yesterday was a huge food challenge too. It was "Teacher Appreciation day" at school. The PTA organizes it and it is AMAZING!! There is a huge buffet for breakfast, then a different one for lunch. The kids bring flowers and fruit for their teachers. I've never seen anything like it in any other school. I made smart-ish choices re food, but will still have gone over points. Didn't eat the cakes, cookies or gooey desserts, but had too many pasta/rice/couscous salads.

Funny/cute story for the week:

Last night I was talking on the phone to my sister who was telling me that she has qualified for lap-band surgery to lose weight. I was asking her all sorts of questions about it, and she said, "Are you thinking of getting it done too?" Before I got a chance to say, "No!" my sister started laughing. Apparently her 12 year old daughter was eavesdropping because after my sister asked the question she heard her daughter say, "Oh no! One of you has to stay cuddly!!"
