Blogtober 4 & 5 - Family Time

It started with a trip to The Royal Melbourne Show. It was fun and exhausting all at once, and a little disappointing because I didn't even get to step foot into the Arts and Craft building...geez kids! There was no patience or stamina left in these two delights to allow mum a 15min run around in this very worthwhile exhibition, but that's OK. I guess.

From there we went straight to our hotel destination. The girls were so excited. Show bags were pulled apart and play time started, at least for an hour before DD and I were being tugged and nagged, "Can we go to the pool now?" So we did. Why aren't 'heated pools' NEVER heated enough?

Dinner was room service. By this stage we were all beyond tired and I needed SUGAR. Fruit - that was my craving, but I knew if I started on the left over fruit salad that DD prepared for the show, that I wouldn't stop. So, I munched on two mouth fulls of licorice and that was it! I knew breakfast would be a different story.

Breakfast was buffet style. I usually go over board here, after all I want to get my dollars worth, but I was sensible. Yes, I caved in but only a little (we all knew I was going to). I ate bircher muesli that was so over the top sweet I couldn't finish it, good thing after 5 days of no sugar. Then, I really couldn't resist my favourite muffins at this place, carrot and walnut - now these muffins are tiny! I ate half, which probably equalled to 40gms. I thought I did well overall but I'm still not feeling great. I know it's lack of exercise and water consumption here.

It was just awesome spending some family time. We think our chics are heaps of fun!

Until tomorrow...
