Well, after some serious thinking over the past few weeks, I've decided to hang up my Blogging hat. I made a decision a long long time ago, that when I found updating to be more of a chore than anything else, I would give it up. That time has come now. I've come a long long way since I started waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in July of 2002, I've lost 54kgs, had a beautiful daughter, lost two

Thanks for all your suggestions about the accommodation.... We have it sorted!  YAY! For the record, it wasn't just me running around like a blue arse fly trying to find somewhere, J had his fair share of buzzing going on too... And it is thanks to him that we have somewhere - YAY! We will be staying at his uncles place with the rest of the family. Can't wait actually - we are going up in the

Man o man was I bad/complacent over the weekend!!!! I just totally disregarded the fact that I have a hell of a lot of weight to lose, and ate my way through two days like I had the metabolism of a Gazelle!!! Stupid thing to do, cos now I am kicking myself! It all went downhill on Friday night when I had a few bourbons with J's sister.   The time flew by and before we knew it, it was past

I've never been a fan of Valentines Day at all..... Why have just one day in the year when you are pressured to spend money (that you probably don't have) on crap with over-inflated prices.... Florists must look forward to this day all blimmen year I reckon!

Last week:  119.1 kg This week:  119.0 kg Loss:  100grams (WTF !?!?!) Ah well, that'll learn me for getting complacent over the weekend and indulging in too much alcohol (and fried rice!!) Never mind, a loss is a loss is a loss, and I KNOW that I will kick the 119's to the curb next week! I'm trying not to get too hung up on the numbers that the scales show, but in saying that, I still need to

Still here, still going strong..... Although I ate too much over the weekend........ I'm already in damage control mode, so no harm done really :) Bloody busy at work, so this will be ultra quick... Went out on Friday night for drinks with workmates, ended up having a few too many, but had a brilliant night all the same! Got home about 1am, so it was relatively early.... YAY! And, there was no

50 minutes to go until the weekend! Well, until I finish work for the week! Off to the pub with workmates for farewell drinks for two of them.... Then maybe off to a BBQ at a friends place after that. Not sure what the weekend holds... J was talking about going to the cricket tomorrow (NZ vs England) as he has free tickets with work.... Either that or the beach.. Dunno.. THURSDAY FOOD:

Ohmigosh - I have had the most AMAZING weekend! The Rugby 7's was FAN-FREAKEN-TASTIC, and I will DEFINATELY be going back again next year - if I can get tickets of course *wink* The atmosphere was incredible, the costumes were fabulous, and it was just an awesome weekend to be involved in! Friday I didn't dress up, as I the group I was with all had corporate t-shirts supplied by our customer.

Been a busy old day today.... But it's been an ON TRACK day too!  YAY ME!! Yesterday was brilliant as well! YAY ME AGAIN!!! I jumped on the scales this morning, but didn't write it down, and can't for the life of me remember what the number was!!! It was either 121.2kg  or  121.7kg  (last week I was 122.7kg - I'll NEVER forget that number!!!!!) Either way it is a loss, but it's either a loss of

Don't the weekends just go by so blimmen fast??? I didn't end up going to the races on Saturday at all. Instead, J and I stayed home and had a quiet day cleaning the house, spending time together and then in the afternoon I went and got Rhian from Chris, as I had missed her too much, so he was good enough to hand her over to me two days early! We took her out for dinner on Saturday night to a

Yesterday's eating was good. Cereal & Yoghurt for breakfast, Trim latte for morning tea, Kapai Salad for lunch, then fish & salad and boiled new potato for dinner, followed by a little "lite" ice cream for desert. Water intake was about 2 litres, so all in all it was a good day! I'm going out for lunch today with a colleague, so I'm gonna make wise choices, and stick with something pretty

It's bloody painful.......... but totally worth it!!!!!!!!I was still awake with throbbing eyebrows at midnight and ended up having to take some panadol to help the pain subside and enable me to get some well needed sleep!!!!I've been told that it does get less painful the more times you have it done, so I guess I just have to tough it out and keep going back.About once a month apparently.....

Well, it's Tuesday today, and I'm feeling a 100 times better than I did yesterday, and yesterday, I was feeling a 100 times better than I was the day before, so I guess you could say that I am getting well! YAY!!!!!!! Thank goodness for that I say!!! I'm still not right, and I'm still feeling REALLY REALLY tired all the time, but my neck and glands are nowhere near as sore as what they were over

Went to the Dr's yesterday, turns out I have an infection of some kind, and am now on some kick ass strong antibiotics and painkillersSuits me fine...... Although this morning i thought I was dying - I woke up and my throat/neck was killing me (from the swollen glands) and I couldn't turn my neck much at all!Freaked me out a bit, but after a wee cry and a bit of a lie down, combined with my first

I didn't last the day at work yesterday, I bailed by midday and came home and slept most of the afternoon away...Of course I rang the Dr, and mine is away til Monday and the surgery only had one other Dr on who was fully booked....... so the result is that I have an appointment today at 2.30pm.I've woken up this morning with earache as well, so now not only do I feel like I have been hit by a

Well, today is the last weigh day of our "Weight Watchers At Work" program, and I can't wait!  haha... Certainly makes a change from a few weeks ago when I avoided it like the blimmen plague! I have been so good in relation to food, excellent with my water, pretty bad with exercise, but we won't talk about that, and I'm hoping for a loss all the same!

The weekend has flown by too damn fast and I don't like the fact that it is Monday already!!!! My work Xmas function was on Friday, and I stayed sober the entire time....... a fact that some people found rather amusing I can tell you! I'm usually the one right in the middle of all the drunkeness, but NO, not this year!!! We started out by being loaded on to a couple of buses, then taken to the

It's a crazy crazy time of year......... seems like the days go by so much faster and I'm left standing still with my head spinning sometimes! The weekend whizzed by in a blur of alcohol, food, family & friends and it was fan-flippen-tastic!! Friday night was a quiet night as planned, and it was good to be able to have some down time after a hectic week of work and socialising. Saturday was busy

This is CRAZY - Where has the week gone to???? It's Friday afternoon already, only 2 hours to go before it's the "weekend" and I have Monday off - YAY!!! I LOVE long weekends! The social life is starting to take it's toll this week, that's for damn sure! Tuesday night was drinks with some of J's clients, we got home at 11pm Wednesday night was a BBQ at J's sisters place, we got home at 10pm

I'm loving it though - I LOVE being busy, learning new things, achieving goals - I THRIVE on it! Eating has been fantastic, water consumption has been superb, and I'm really really looking forward to weigh in tomorrow.... Makes a change from the past 5 weeks where I avoided it like the

Feeling positive today - YAY!! We had a big meeting this morning that also included a breakfast before hand, and I am happy to say that I was well restrained and am darn pleased with what I ate and how it all went....  YAY! Although it makes the rest of the day run late, and it's 1.46pm and I haven't had lunch yet!!!   Speaking of lunch......... I have a salad with tuna and I'm blimmen hungry,

Check out the little cherubs!Sisters and oh so cute...We got them this morning, Rhian wanted to call them Dora & Boots.We agreed on Boots for the tabby girl, but still haven't come up with anything that suits the little black girl...Let's hope they don't decide to play all night long :)

So tired today..... that'll teach me for enjoying a few too many glasses of wine last night! It wasn't a late night by any stretch of the imagination, in fact we were home by 9pm, and I was probably asleep by 9.30pm! But it was a bit of a restless night and I woke up feeling like I could sleep for another 6 hours!! We went out for a BBQ to J's sisters place and the food was just divine! She made

The weekend was awesome, fantastically awesomely great to get away for a few days! Ate too much, drank too much, had too much sun, but had a total blast! it was brilliant to be able to catch up with relatives that I haven't seen for ages, and some I can't ever remember meeting in the past! PLUS.... I got to meet my Godmother for the first time in years and years and years....... too cool! Hate

I've been flat tack all day, didn't get a break for morning smoko, or lunch, so I'm gonna shoot off early..... YAY! And I don't have to come back here until Tuesday! BIGGER YAY!!! We are going out to the Workingmans Club tonight to see "Lyn of Tawa & Gazza" apparently it is supposed to be hysterical, so I'm looking forward to it. The show starts at 7pm, and I'm not sure if that includes a meal

It's amazing how unfit I am....... after my 45 minute walk yesterday, I woke to find my legs aching. Then of course when I got to work this morning and had to climb the 51 stairs to get to my office, they (my thunder thighs) started to object!!! Crazy how totally unfit I am, but also crazy about how blimmen determined I am to get that fitness back!!!!! Breakfast this morning was a glorious

10.45amThis is a bit of a new thing for me......Well, not entirely new, but certainly a thing that I had long forgotten about!!!I had cereal for breakfast this morning, Wheat flakes with natural yoghurt and a sprinkling of sunflower, sesame and pumpkin seeds.I got half way through the bowl and thought that I didn't need anymore....In the past (as early as last week) I would have just sat there

OK - this is what I ended up wearing to the wedding, but I added a long sleeve polo neck merino top underneath the halterneck:There was no one around to help me decide what to wear, so I had to try on a heap of things, take photos of me in them, and then look at the photos to decide on the final outfit.And the reason for chopping my head off? it was before I went, my hair was a mess, my face was

Have you ever "Googled" yourself?? Of course I have, but never found anything of interest at all..... UNTIL someone suggested Googling your "username" that you have for forums or whatever. OK, so I did this last night, and sat there and actually cried when I read what I found!!! It dates back to the 7th August 2002, and it was a response that I typed to someone on a "diet" forum who was

Day 2 of no smoking, going well, but I haven't had time to think about it today I've been so busy - YAY! It certainly helps having Rhian around at nights, cos I wont smoke around her, and it also helps that I got my car back yesterday after being at the panel beaters to get the rear end fixed. Why would that help??? Well, they groomed it, so it smells and looks LOVELY, and there is NO WAY that I

I'm loving work at the moment...... it makes a change to be busy and have my brain occupied with thoughts of meaningful stuff, not just the usual "What can I eat now?" bullshit!!! I find that when I am bored, I "think" I am hungry, I graze constantly and end up going home feeling like a big fat whale at the end of the day. Whereas, when I am busy, I can quite happily ignore all food on offer and

Friday night I had plans to have a quiet night, but at the last minute (literally as I was driving home from work) J rang to say "come have a beer at J***'s place, so off I went!

I've spent the last two days on a "Coaching & Feedback" course, which I really enjoyed! I thought I would hate it, but if I'm honest, I did actually get quite a bit out of it! Anyway, two days was long enough, and I'm glad to be back at work! Although today has been rather busy catching up on two days worth of work..... I've decided to stay where I am - work-wise.

Plus - next week I will be out of the office on a two day course, so it is gonna be two weeks before I can weigh in "officially" again! Ah well.......... maybe it was meant to be!

I've ALREADY finished what I needed to do, and so I sit here twiddling my thumbs, with no one to talk to (or annoy!) Of course, just because I have finished what I need to do,

The damn weekends go by too bloody quickly for my liking!!! Saturday flew by in a blur.... I got out for a bit shopping and picked Rhian up some new sandals - which she has been wearing ever since, got myself a new pair of shoes (Yep - I'm a shoe whore!!!) and also a couple of vacuum storage bags - just like my mum! Saturday night we had been invited out for drinks for a friends birthday, but

I LOVE the fact that I didn't have to get up to the alarm clock this morning, although we had a 3 year old blondini in our bed wriggling and squirming all night long, so I think if the alarm had screeeched at 6.30 I would have thrown it out the bloody window!!I went out last night and J looked after Rhian, he also had his 13 nephew here and they played on the playstation for so long that he ended

Although my morning got off to a rocky start........ I'm DETERMINED to make it a good day! My bloody alarm didn't go off at 6.30am, and it was close to 7.10am when Rhian came in to wake me up!!! Didn't help that both J and I were wide awake at 2.30am as neither of us could sleep! Stupid thing is, that we were both in bed asleep in front of the tv by 9pm, yet wide awake at 2.30am! I HATE THAT!!!

Last week:  117.0 kg This week:  115.9 kg Loss:  1.1 kg Isn't it funny that no matter how much I lose, I am never happy with it??? I wanted to lose more, I "expected" to lose more, and am now sitting here a little disappointed. Crazy I know, cos 1.1 kg is a GREAT loss!!! Gotta get the whole negative thing outta my head and take the loss and run with it! "Only" 7.9 kg to go to get back to

I'm actually looking forward to weighing in!!! How crazy is that! I KNOW I have been good, and I just want to see the results NOW!!! Pity I have 5 hours to wait!  hehehehehe Last night was a very easy dinner of scrambled eggs on toast, made with lots of help from Madam Rhian. She HAD to mix the eggs, then she HAD to butter the toast, then she HAD to stir the eggs in the pan!! Too cute!  My little

Crap weather here..... after yesterday it sucks, cos it was nice! Did that make sense? Seem to have a lot of work on at the moment which is good - it keeps me out of trouble and away from food! Food has been great this week, I got prepared and stocked up on stuff to eat at work, so that saves me eyeing up the lollie jar! Rice cakes, rice crackers, salsa, cereal for breakfast - all the good stuff

TOM reared it's damn ugly head this morning, and although I was expecting it, I still hate it! Last night all I wanted was sweet things!  And this morning is no better! I was totally unorganised this morning, and didn't get breakfast before i raced out the door, so all I have had is a WW Cereal bar. It satisfied the sweet craving for about 5 minutes, and now I am hungry again and looking for

Been bloody busy at work today - YAY ME!!! Makes a change - so I'm happy! Food over the weekend was 80% good, 20% not so good. Had dessert on Friday night which I could have done without! Went out with the girls on Saturday night, didn't over indulge too badly in alcohol, but DID succumb to a Burger King burger at about 1am Sunday morning! Sunday we went to Yum Cha for lunch, and I TRIED to

10am and I'm two loads of washing down - 1 to go.Dishes are done, bed is made, and the sun is shining!I LOVE waking up without a hangover *giggles*We went out last night for a little bit, I wasn't intending to at all, but J rang and invited me to teh drinks that he had been invited to by one of his clients.We were just gonna have a polite drink then head off to dinner by ourselves, but before we

Back at work today - thank god - I was starting to go a bit stir crazy by yesterday afternoon! Pretty busy at work too, so that makes a pleasant change, cos usually I am looking for work to keep me occupied! Got a quiet weekend planned, and am looking forward to relaxing and maybe even get some more of Rhian's room done. Although I can't do the plastering, but I can certainly nag at J until he

I'm so over feeling like shit - it's stupid!!I have had such a bad run lately, I think I've had more time at home than I have at work in the past month!Between Rhian and her conjunctivitis, and me with all my problems, I'm going insane!I came home at lunch time yesterday after putting up with stomach cramps and nausea most of the morning.I called the nurse and asked her if all the medication I

After another restless night - I'm bloody tired today! Short tempered, sleepy, and just generally a bit of a misery guts to be honest! I took the anti-histamine and although I expected it to stop the itching.............. IT DIDN'T!!! I PLASTERED myself with cream, and that didn't work either!!! PLUS, I noticed that I now have another two new spots! NOT FAIR!!!! I wish I could blame it on

NOT scabies!NOT shinglesNOT chickenpoxIt's an allergic reaction to an insect bite!!!Well, a cluster of insect bites actually!He is 95% sure that it was a pesky little flea that attacked my thigh and gave me 6 lovely bites last week!The ongoing spots are a result of my body not taking too kindly to that little bugger, and basically trying to fight it, but in fact replicating it!He gave it a big

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to the chemist, and he seems to think that the spots I have are scabies!!!!! So Susan - you might just be right!  hehehehehe Although when I got back to work, I googled it (bless technology) and the symptoms that I have don't really match the symptoms of scabies. Well, some of them do, but others don't. Like it says that they are usually prominent

If it's not one thing with my health........ it's another! I've got spots! And I don't mean pimples on my face either! They look like itchy bites, and that is what I thought they were to start with.... I got 6 in a cluster on the top of my thigh last week - i think it was Tuesday or Wednesday. I didn't think too much about it to be honest, then the next day, I got a couple more down on my ankle.

Back from the Dr, and she reckons it isn't sciatica! She thinks it is a "Lumbar Sprain" mixed with a little "Trochanteric Burstitis" She explained a little about what it is and means etc, gave me some strong painkillers and anti-imflammatories and said that physio may help. Wanted to give me time off work, but since I just sit here all day, I couldn't really see the point! So, there wont be any

I did have 3 TINY glasses of wine on Friday night, but I swear they were teeny tiny and not even enough to give me a "glow" I guess it helped that I have felt like utter crap most of the weekend, and

My leg/back isn't quite so sore today so that is a positive sign!!! It's all good when I'm walking on the flat, but as soon as I hit a rise or steps - I'm history! I must look like I'm 100 years old trying to get up the 51 steps to my office!!  hahaha... Not sure what the weekend holds, but I know I'll be catching up with the Fabulous skinny Helena on Sunday morning, so that'll be cool!! Not

Got the shock of my life yesterday when I got home form work.... J was getting dinner ready! AND he had washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen too! I'm not complaining at all of course... it's just strange!!  hahahaha... Dinner was bloody yummy too, he cooked beef snitchel with potato, peas, cauli & broc and it was all delicious and very healthy! YAY!!! Weigh in day today... not sure what the

On track 100% so far today, which is great for me considering my boss has filled his lollie jar!

Well, I managed to completely blow everything yesterday..... I woke with a wicked headache at 4am, took some pain killers and went back to bed. Alarm went off at 6.30am, I contemplated staying in bed, but Rhian was there demanding breakfast, so I got up, hit the shower, sorted her out, and headed off to work, my head pounding all the way. Now I KNOW it is gonna be a bad day when I can't even get

What a great weekend!!!! I did 16,068 steps on Saturday!!! GO ME!!!!! Mind you, since I only did 3964 yesterday, I NEEDED to get them up!  hahahaha.... OK - Recap time: Friday night went to the pub after work with J and his clients, none of the wives were there yet, and the guys were all eating pizza and chips, I was STARVING, and succumbed to one slice of pizza, and man it was GOOD!!!! 2 beers

My first official day of counting points is going well... Was running too late this morning to have breakfast, and to be honest I didn't really feel like food anyway, so instead I had a small scone at morning smoko. Scraped a small amount of marg and jam onto it, so all up I gave it 4 1/2 points. Now I've just got back from lunch with a couple of girls from my office and we went to subway for

Didn't quite get to 10,000 steps yesterday, but I was close enough! 9382 so I am pretty happy with that! Considering a couple of weeks ago I would have been lucky to get to 5,000! Everyone is talking points here this morning, and everyone is really motivated so it is fabulous to be surrounded by such positivity. Although last night I slipped up and a "quiet drink" turned in to far too many......

Hahahahahaha...........  Not as good as I would have liked it to be, but I guess it could have been worse too! 117.2kgs is the magic number, so that means 9.2kgs over my lowest ever weight, but still 44.8kgs lighter than what I was when I first joined Weight Watchers and started to change my life. So, although the good habits that I had formed over the years have definately slipped recently, I'm

Yep - back to the cold hard reality that is life!  hahahaha My work trip was good - I managed to make pretty good choices with my eating over the past few days, so I'm happy! Although dinner the first night was pizza, nachos and hot chips at a bar just down the road from our motel, where FAR too much alcohol was consumed!

Had a good weekend,. managed to stay on track with food 98% of the time... YAY ME!!! Weighed in this morning at 116.4kgs, so that means a loss of 1.2kgs for the week. Was hoping for more, but hey - I'm gonna take that and run with it! I'm off in about 15 minutes to Christchurch for three days for a training course through work, so wont be updating until Thursday..

Well, I made it through the night alone, but had a crap sleep! Woke up this morning far too early, and just lay there waiting for Rhian to climb into my bed like she does every morning. Sure enough 6.15am she was there! I had a slice of toast at home this morning fro breakfast as I was just starving!!! Usually I can wait until I get to work and have my cereal and yoghurt, or fruit smoothie, but

Getting out of work late, spending too much time at daycare reading stories to the other kids, stopped in at the shop to get some white vinegar to clean my washing machine, grabbed the washing off the line, spent too much time yakking to a girlfriend on the phone, then had to change Rhian cos she
