I love my hubby!

Billy didn't get me a Christmas gift as I couldn't decide what I wanted and he had no idea what to get. I told him that we would wait till the Christmas rush went away and go to the sales.

Anyway inspired my my fellow blogger Tiny Donna I have decided I want a Pandora Charm bracelet like she has. So tomorrow we are going to go and look at them and maybe buy one!! YAY!!

Also BIG news, I have given up Coke Zero. I havn't had one in at least 1 week. I have had 1 normal coke on Christmas day but apart from that NO COKE at all!!

I am pretty proud of myself as I usually have 2-3 cans a day.

I'm Melting!!!

Will this heat ever go away? It was 38 today and its going to be 40 tomorrow!

I hate summer! I want to move to Alaska!!! hehehe

First day back at work since Christmas was good, had about a million emails!!

Was pretty good with my eating today. Its hard to eat too much when its hot I reckon. One good thing about summer.... maybe the only good thing!

A New Year and new beginnings

Well its 2008.

Time for a new start.

I have made my New Year's resolutions and they are:

1. To try to lose this weight once and for all.

2. To take more photo's.

3. To get out of debt.

4. To save up for a holiday to the USA next Christmas.

5. To be a better wife, mother, friend.

In keeping with the second resolution here are some pictures I took over Christmas:

Christmas lights on our street:

Ashley opening up his gifts:

Billy with his new tool set:

My sister who is a designer/buyer for Sachi gave me these 3 gorgeous bags!!

Christmas lunch with my mum, sister, niece, Billy & Ashley:

Christmas was good this year, I got to see some of my family as opposed to last year when it was just Billy & I as Ashley was with his Dad.

I feel for Billy as he has no family here, but we are planning to go to the USA for Christmas next year.

Well I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year!!

I'm still alive

Hi all!

I am still alive. I just havn't gotten around to updating here.

Things have been a little tough lately. I quit my job and got a new one but had a 2week gap in between and my new job is a monthly pay cycle so we have been struggling financially for a while.

I had to stop going to Weight Watchers because of this. We havnt been able to afford good food either so I have gained everything I have lost back.

I am not going to let it get to me though. I have a plan.

I got paid finally and yesterday we went to Target and I bought some of those long shorts that look like work pants but shorter. I am going to wear them and short sleeve tops to work whicle its warm and I am going to spend my lunch break walking.

I can eat my lunch while I work and this way I get some form of exercise in my day.

*sigh*

Weighed in this morning and gained 0.6kg.

Pathetic. I am pathetic.

I have been doing WW for 12 weeks now, and lost a dismal 2.1kg.

Most people have gotten to 10kg by then!!

I am tired, depressed.. I just want to cry.

Why do I do this.

I have been going to WW for like 7 years off and on, and I have never gotten my 5kg bookmark.

Even though I lost like 20kg on my own 2 years ago, I have never been successful on WW.

I quit, I give up. I stop going to meetings. Yet I know it works.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!!!!!!

Did someone say "I lost 0.9kg??"

Yes they did, and that someone was ME!!!

Yeah baby!! I went to my weigh in this morning not expecting much at all and i lost 0.9kg!!

AWESOME!!!!!!!

But I know that I am going to have to be extra careful this week as I think it was a bit of a fluke!!

Meh

Ain't feeling the best at the moment. I have had my period now for 3 weeks and its been really heavy.

I am so tired all the time, even though I get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. I am starving all the time, I feel so down.

I also feel really lonely. Even though my husband is my best friend, he is all I have. I don't have anyone else.

I gained last week and initially I took it really well, but now I find myself dwelling on it.

I just feel really deflated and so ready to give up again.

Weigh in

Well it was weigh in today and seeming I have had my horrible TTOM for the past 2 weeks and have been feeling really tired and crabby my diet has been really bad: KFC, cake, etc etc.

I gained 0.7kg. Not too bad considering.

But I am fine. Just getting back on the horse and moving forward.

Its a long weekend here so I am going to enjoy it. Its beautiful outside so might go and sit in the sun!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Nostalgia

I was browsing YouTube and found some old videos of songs I love from the 80's.

Anyone remember these?







Makes me feel old!!

I'm BACK!

Wow, its been 5 months since I posted on here!! Thats terrible!

Well I am back doing Weight Watchers and and after a rocky start I am doing good.

Week 1 - Lost .4kg
Didn't go back for 4 weeks. Gained 1.7kg
Week 3 - lost 1.2kg

So am back on track and happy.

Billy and I have been walking lately and I am so proud of myself for doing it, because I am the biggest lazy ass I know.

I have changed jobs again. Now working at Dorsogna in accounts receivable. Its good and the money is good too.

So everything is really good at the moment and I am happy!!
