I've had a lovely weekend. Our very good friends came down from Havelock North to spend the weekend with us - only a year late for my 40th party, which they couldn't make it to.
So we spent the weekend talking, eating out and having a lovely time. There's just nothing like the conversations you have with old friends. I still managed to get in my exercise, so a quick peek at the home scales shows I've maintained over the weekend; always a good result after relaxing the rules a bit.
I'll have a very disjointed week this week.
I have the day off on Tuesday to go to the McEvedy Shield - an annual athletics competition involving the four main boys' schools in Wellington. Basically over 3000 boys spend the day chanting and roaring for blood - this competition had been going since 1922 and is a day not to be missed.
Wednesday and Thursday I'll be in Auckland for work. I always managed to cope with the work travel when I was tracking points, so it will be interesting to see how I manage now that I'm doing NoCount.
I used to pack plenty of snacks and things to take with me. This time I'll take enough fruit to get me through Wednesday and my porridge for Thursday morning. On Wednesday evening I'll pick up pasta and veggies for dinner and more fruit for the next day. Luckily I get to stay in an apartment so I can do my own cooking. Lunches will be a bit more hit-and-miss, but sushi is a great stand-by there.
I've tailored my exercise for the week around my travel. I'm trying to have a week of concentrating on running, because my riding is at a level where all I need to do is maintain it till the duathlon. It still amazes me when I make statements like that!
I used to be able to do an overnight trip to Auckland with just carry-on luggage, but having to pack training gear (particularly the shoes!) has made that a bit more difficult.
Because of the travel I won't be able to weigh in at WW till Friday. This is actually quite good because it will bring my WW weigh-in day in line with my home weigh-in day - my home one being what I'm still using as my 'official' weight, because that's what I've been using for the past year.
Thanks everyone, for the lovely comments about my progress pics. I'm hoping that I can post number five in the series - the one of me at goal - before the end of April.

Always great catching up with old friends:)
Good luck with your week - sounds like a busy one, but you've planned well!
Looking forward to seeing the next photo in the series!
Does sound like a lovely weekend. Great to catch up with old friends.
You sound very organised for your work trip.
Have a great week.
You certainly sound like you are enjoying life at the moment Sue. I am sure you will have no trouble with the no points while away.
Sounds like you have your time all planned and booked out already, but I am supposed to be weighing in on Weds night if you are interested in coming to my meeting with me?? I may end up working late, but am happy to have a chat offline and see if we can work something out?
You are so organised and I think that is the key. I am absolutely positive that you will be posting your goal pic very soon. Well done on maintaining over the weekend. Try not to breathe in too much testosterone today won't you!! haha

Hun I will be in Wellington End of APril beginning of May and I will do the HAPPY dance with you whether you are at goal or not. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION and it has been an honour to know you.

Sounds like you are sorted with your eating when away. Great planning! Sushi is a great idea too because it's cheap, easy and really healthy. I hope you have a great week, cheers.
Hope you have had a good week. You have planned ahead really well, especially in regards to fitting in the exercise! Hope weigh in tomorrow brings you even closer to your goal weight! You have done so well this past twelve months, truly an inspiration Sue :)
