Above photo is from today - Wednesday the 30th of September - and boy do I have some greasy hair! How did that happen?! Must be hormones or something! Today, so many people called me Mrs. - not Miss. I guess I am at that age! It's just been so long since anyone used either of those titles for me that today when I heard it about 12 times in a row it was weird! I guess that's what happens when you are in a school around students almost 20 years younger than you! Good thing I still feel young!

Saturday and Sunday 26 and 27 September 2009: ASG and TSG are in town! :-)
That's me above today - Sunday the 27th of September 2009. It's been a nice weekend because ASG and TSG are here with their bunny Buster and we are all relaxed and doing our own thing and hanging together. Below you can see a full shot - to track my weight loss. I ate like crazy yesterday so I probably gained some of those 2 kilos back but I tried to eat a bit less than I usually would. I did eat fries (homemade by Tom's mother - could not resist!!!) and falafal as well as dessert.Oh well! It's really the first big cheat and it wasn't even all that bad. I still feel good and I will be very good this week to come!
And here is some of the great food we had (below)! Notice my new slow-cooker thanks to ASG and TSG and the soup I'm making in it as I write this! That's tonight's dinner! I'm guessing it's going to be very good!

Thursday 24 September 2009: YMA YMA YMA YMA!!!!! (and Sarah has lost 2 kilos (4.4 pounds) since September 7th!!!!)
Sarah says:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YMA!!!!!
I am so happy right now! I went to the obesity center tonight. Last time I was there and got weighed was on the 7th of September (so two weeks and 3 days ago) and I have lost 2 kilos since then (4.4 pounds!!!!)!!!! I have been trying so hard and pushing myself on the bike and cutting portions and eating slower and all that - all the tips and it's paying off!!!! It made my day!

Wednesday 23 September 2009: Busier day for Heidi and Sarah is not doing a very good job of keeping up with Face The Day!
I'm not sure if the above photo is from Tuesday or Wednesday but it is either/or - the 22nd or the 23rd of September. I suck at keeping up! Who would have thought that would happen! I'm doing my best! I just keep forgetting to take pictures. Anyway - things are okay! Nothing new to report!
Heidi says: This is good! I have a busier day today. I did some studying on the internet, baked pancakes for Yma's birthday tomorrow (she will bring those to school) and I will apply for a job this afternoon. It is just a two week job but it is something! It will change my routine for at least two weeks and that is good! I just hope that I get through the typing test I have this afternoon (I am not a blind typist...). But I am sure I am capable of doing this simple administrative input job. Fingers crossed!

Sunday 20 and Monday 21 September 2009: Mondaymorningblues - Sunday sunny fun!
Heidi says: Mondays are tough for me. They are the start of a new week, everyone goes back to what they do in the week, and I stay home. I lose my hope a bit on Mondays. The hope for a job, a filled life, to belong somewhere. I also lose belief in myself. On Mondays I don't know what I am good at. I doubt myself and that is the biggest danger for me.

Saturday 19 September 2009: DIRTY DANCING NIGHT AT HEIDI'S!
at his best in this movie. We had a great dirty night!

Saturday 19 September 2009: Sarah is searching for a new bike (and back!)

But it is so sunny and warm in Belgium today and I had a few hours to myself to do my writing course so I am happy despite back pain! Life goes on...

Thursday and Friday 17 and 18 September 2009: It's the weekend yet again!!!! Time is crazy!

I hurt my back on my bike yesterday - felt a pull in it as I lunged a bit forward. It still hurts a lot and I have to be very careful? I hate that! I was feeling great! I'm going to try not to let it get me down! I can still move and work and all I just feel like I have to walk on tip-toes sort of - like one more wrong move and I'll be back on my back!!! I don't want that!!! I want to keep on riding my back (I meant bike but kind of like how back sounds there ;-)! I want to keep on feeling full of energy! The diet is still going really well though I don't lose weight fast at all - but I am okay with that. As long as over the year I see some serious loss, I'll be very happy I think! It's weekend again and I have some time to rest my back. I hope the weekend moves slowly because I can only function at that pace! I can't wait to finally have some time to sit down and pay attention to the creative writing course I am taking! I can't wait to read everyone's writing to see how other people do it! I also can't wait for the next assignment!

Thursday 17 Setember 2009: Heidi thinks it's time to get out of the house

Monday and Tuesday 14 and 15 September 2009: Sarah is happy and dieting - believe it or not!

Picture above is from today - Tuesday the 15th. I'm still feeling good! I kind of like where I am at right now. The funk I was in after losing my last job has finally lifted. It was a long and heavy one! I am glad to be moving on with a new job and new experiences. I'm also really enjoying the challenge of this diet I am on and I just started an online creative writing course, which is another great challenge. I am feeling creative again. It's been so long since I felt that way. I am starting to feel healthier too. I can't remember the last time I felt that way! I think the way I am eating is giving me more energy too or something. I hope this keeps up for a while! And I am loving riding my bike!

Sunday 13 September 2009: Sarah is feeling very happy to have some great friends... And the family goes for a walk in the forest!

It's been a good weekend with the little family and also because I had time to speak on the phone to some good, old friend and some newer ones and that always makes me feel good. I also had a nice night out Friday with two close girlfriends over here. I just feel pleased and content to have so many super people in my life - old and new. How did I get so lucky?
I chose the below Post Secret this week because I like the message in it. Just reminds me of life's flow. It can be bad and then good and then great and then bad again but it is always changing. That keeps us on our toes sometimes and isn't always an easy formula because on the one hand it's so random yet on the other we can always expect it...

Friday 11 September 2009: Friday! Weekend! Bright orange soup!


Sarah says:
It's Friday and it's weekend and tonight I will go out to dinner with two girlfriends! I have eaten so well all week. I hope I don't screw it up this weekend. Dieting is hard but it feels good! It was a good week in general at home, work and in my head!
