SOC: Feburary Review and Upcoming Plans

Dominique Thoughts saturday nine, Stream of Conciousness

February has been a rather reflective month for me. There has been highs and lows, doubtful moments and moments of joy and happiness. I guess that this is what makes life interesting. I’m been rather unproductive this month and have been finding it difficult keeping to schedule. I get very frustrated when things deviate from plan and sometimes really feel like kicking myself for not being disciplined enough.I’m wondering if I’m been setting my aspirations too high or if I need to be more patient and wait for a while before I am able to see the results I desire.

I’ve been stepping up exercising and paid but the kilos doesn’t seem to be falling off as fast as I would like. I guess that the eating out on weekends and my passion for it coupled with doing bakes has been self sabotaging. Maybe I shouldn’t be so critical on myself and judge myself so much on the numbers on the scale as I ‘m sure there has been inches lost since I’m able to fit back into all clothes that were bought before the kids were born.

I guess I have to do a more detailed plan/schedule for next month to ensure that what I have planned for the month does get carried out.

SOC: Taking Time Off

Dominique Thoughts Stream of Conciousness

This weekend we are taking the chance to take things slow. To go back in time and relive the moments as a one child family as we jet off to Taiwan with Tiger Girl. The boys are being left in the loving care of their grannies and I’m sure that they will enjoy their attention that they get from them. It’s not the first time that we have left the boys with the grandparents and went of on a holiday. I would like to have left Tiger girl too and have some couple time but she’s still at a very challenging age and would be too stressful and difficult for the grannies to handle all 3 kids.

It would be my fourth time and I’m really looking forward to meeting up with my high school friend who I have kept in contact since going to Taiwan on a student exchange program. The last time we met up was more then six years ago before Doggie boy was born if I remember correctly. It will be great as we will be visiting the lantern festivals which is a major event being held in February . It would be a great time to snap pictures and really practice using my camera.
