Friends on my side.. =)

i've really noticed my friends lately... especially since the start of my 'new life'... heh... we had a bbq last night to celebrate the bday of a friend, and i'm still a bit nervous about those kinds of things... parties and get togethers used to be a terrible place for me to just gorge on crap... and especially with the type of friends we had previously they only ate crap... bleh! now i've weened down a bit... held onto my nearest and dearest friends, who REALLY are friends... and they have been going out of their way to help me out... and i haven't even asked them to do anything differently, they're just going out of their way to make it just that bit easier for me.. snacking used to be an issue, and there would usually be chips a plently and lots of other yummy, but bad foods... last night there were carrot sticks, celery sticks some home made tzatziki and corn chips and salsa... just some good choices that i could nibble on here and there and now i wasn't having a huge blow out! Leanne also made this lovely fruit platter for dessert, so overall for a bbq i was well under points, which was AWESOME!

i've reached 'that time' of the month and in the past it's always been a shocker of a week on the scales... i retain heaps, but i also usually eat pretty badly too... so this time i'm trying hard to get a handle on my eating... i know there's nothing i can do about being a female... it's kinda in my DNA and if i do put on this week, if it goes like it does in the past, i take off plenty the next week to make up for it... i guess i'm gearing myself up for a 'who knows' result... but either way i'm doing my bit some things just aren't in my control though!

hmmmm weather has turned mighty nasty... might have to go check on everyone... hope everyone had a great weekend!
