And so the theory test date came and went and then the date came again!

A great start to July.

BabaLopes has got a new occupation and will be off to working away during the week and home either every weekend or every forthnight. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Really happy as space can be a positive thing. Also this credit crunch is only palatable when served with luxury so all's well that ends's well.

Driving update.
I took my theory test about 6 years ago and then that test expired. Booked another one for the 20th of June but thought the date was the 21st and so I missed the test. Well, having swotted long and hard, I made my way to the test centre and on the way decided to read the back of the letter I was sent. Found out to my shock and horror that there was a hazard perception test introduced and I would have to watch 14 videos and click when I saw a developing hazard. Had enough time to offer many prayers. Went in and finished the test. 100% in the theory and 78% in the hazard perception. It seems my brain has remembered the days of yore when I was a hot chick. So practical test booked for..... Watch this space :)


Weight update
Start 102ks
27 May 93kgs
26 June 92.8kgs
10 July 90Kgs.

Getting better now. End of July target still 85kg. We'll see. Cut out all processed carbs and sugar. Still have slow release carbs and meat and veg. Yum. This is the lowest weight I have been for over 5 years!

Will leave you with my new favourite song. Ignore the video and just listen to the words. I am indeed a child of old age!

yes, distance makes the heart grow fonder and you guys will likely be stronger for it. And, congrats on the steady weight loss!!!! I wish i could cut out processed foods and carbs, but even as I type, I am thinking about spicy Utz chips...oooh, yum!!! =)

take care and kisses to Lopes.
