Good, better, best...

I am feeling better and better with every day that I go to the gym and work out and make sure that my diet is good. It is so crazy to let go of yourself like this and eat like a pig and not exercise. But why do I let this happen again and again and again? I tend to loose weight and exercise for a few months and look really good and feel so good about myself. Have lots of energy for my kids, husband and work. Then one day I stop. I start allowing myself to eat more, eat sweets more often and bread and like a bang.... I have gained maybe 10 kg.

I usually say that I am like a Jo Jo. Don´t know if that word gets through to my English speaking friends. Jo Jo is a toy that goes up and down on a string. I have no clue what it is called in English. So I just write it the way we say it in Icelandic hehehe. Maybe Yo Yo! - Yes.... my weight goes up and down like a Yo Yo on a string :) It is about time to stop this. I want to have a flat line.... no change in my weight for a few years. I have stopped having kids and that is not an excuse now. So hopefully I will be successful now.

This past weekend was a wonderful family weekend. We spent Saturday at home with the kids and cleaned the apartment. We have not cleaned it for many weeks now. We always postpone it because the weather has been so good and then we have been traveling. This weekend it rained, so I said to Joi: "you know what we have to do now"? So it was cleaning day in the rain and the kids "helped out". Sunday we went to my mom´s house and baked and played Yatzy and the kids played outside in the rain with grandpa Hannes. He was working in the yard and it was so much fun for them. I need to post some pictures soon. They got so dirty in the mud and all wet and then Joi squirted water on them to rinse them off. They laughed so hard and loved it. The pictures I took that day were taken with mom´s camera so now I need to get them from her to post them on the kid´s website.

Enough of blogging. Lunch is coming and only 4,5 days until my summer vacation. Smooches to everyone. Love, GSJ
