What a FANTASTIC day!!
It started with the usual groundhog day feeling ie doing the childrens breakfast, getting them off to school and then going to the office that I have been decorating all week to do some more painting and then my day got better...
My husband had the afternoon off and we went to our youngest son's sports day in the gorgeous sunshine
There wasn't a cloud in the sky and it was fantastic... My son did two novelty races and then came the big race that he had been dreading and even tried to tell me he was sick this morning when he woke up because he desperately didn't want to take part in sports day. He had to do a 2 lap race so twice around the cricket field/school sports field! He started off quite badly and was in the back 5 and I could see the pain in his face and that is when I had to put my sunglasses on so he couldn't see me crying. He did the first lap and got half way around the 2nd when I let out the biggest shout I ever have and shouted "COME ON KYLE YOU CAN DO IT!" and he heard me and he ran so fast I thought he was going to fall over...
He over took about 10 children to be placed 15th out of 62 children
Aww I cried my eyes out as I was so proud. Out of all 3 of my boys he is the one that doesn't like sport although the other two thrive on it! My eldest son wants to be a pe teacher and my middle son is in teh county cricket team, plays football and rugby plus he is fantastic at athletics! My youngest on the other hand HATES sport and the fact he did so well I was so proud.
He saw me crying and when he came to meet me after the sports day he said to me
"Mum why were you crying? Was it because I wasn't first?"
I replied with
"I don't care whether you were first or last, the fact that you completed it and did your very best made me very proud!
)
He hugged me and said "I love you Mum and I am glad I make you proud because I am proud of you!" guess what? I cried again...
Then to top it all when leaving the school a woman I used to work with was walking behind us and as she walked past she looked over her shoulder at me and I said Hello. To which her reply was
"Oh My G*d it is you Michelle, I saw your husband and wondered who he was with because I didn't think it was you! You have lost so much weight haven't you? You can tell in your face and especially on your backside!"
I said "Aww thank you. Yes I have lost 2 1/2 stone in total and if I had known you liked looking at my backside I would of flashed you
)
It felt great because I haven't seen her in over a year and that was before my ww diet or my sw journey... Big smiles on my face today
