Busy weekend for the grey cells

I'm really screwing up my system - there is no control over how much I eat and how much I exercise. To take the latter first, I have found a soft copy of the XBX exercise system, which I have started plus there is yoga plus there is the walk in the forest. I keep discovering beautiful, new routes and now I want to include all of them in my everyday routine. I do keep coming across some tracks where I am a little scared to venture alone but I'll get some company to go with me. A couple of days back I tried to find the forest track behind the house. Went out quite bravely and then actually saw a snake across the path!!! Is it even possible to imagine how petrified I was! But then fortunately, yesterday, as part of my discover new routes program, I have found the track from the forest which leads back home. So, now I have my 5km stretch. Its just that I dont want to stick to one route but keep discovering new ones.

And then on the eating front, look at today. Forgot to have breakfast and lunch. Was to have headed back home by 4-30 but finally got back at 9. Meeting Ocean Waves and then had to pick up shy person from the hospital - I realised I was hungry only when I got home. And, of course, since then I have been eating non-stop, a chapatti, grilled chicken, bananas, oranges, yoghurt and no idea how many slices of cake and biscuits. Have made up for the whole day in one meal. It was the same yesterday. For breakfast and lunch combined, I had two bananas and two oranges. Very healthy but then when I reached the tea party that the P1s had thrown, I have no count of the number of cake pieces, cookies and tarts I ended up having (the portuguese cookies were unbelievably delicious). Once again got home at 9. Tomorrow should be a nice peaceful day at home - finish with clothes, vacuuming home, sleeping, baking...the works. I want Tweedledum to have clean, well ironed shirts for the coming week. The poor darling is working so hard. Wish I could help him in some way.

Also, though I dont have to, I would like to do a project for the elective that I am auditing. This means I have lots of reading to do over the weekend. There is a financial assignment and Ihave to start reading about capital markets and microfinance funds once again.

I haven't used the camera in a long time - it needs to come out once again. I think I'll take it for my walk tomorrow.
