Little Kiwi that is so cool! 2kg in 2 weeks that is a dream! especially since you have been doing it 'properly'!
Vonni - why does your baby need a eeg? that sounds scary to me, Jemima had to have xrays when she was 8 weeks i had to streach her out on the table and then me and the nurse had to streach her out in front of the wall, it was sad, funny and a little scary all at once - didnt find anything... yes i am so so luckky she sleeps through she has been since 5and a bit weeks one day she just didnt wake for her 2am and that's that.... once a week she wakes at 3 or sometimes 4.30 but i can deal with that, it is funny enough usually the same day as the baby accross the road sleeps through, like i am doing the wake up for her! she had a werid one last night 10pm (i was still awake so not counted as a wake up ehehehe) and 5.45 i think or maybe 5.15 i dont know my hubby brought her to me and then i fed her and he was still home so he put her to bed and NOW she is waking! yippee
tomorrow is weigh in day........................ dum dum............................ i am kinda looking forward to it as i WANT to know if i did damage or not when i was sick and comfort eating late last week....... i have been real good monday and yesterday, even hopped on cross trainer at 8.30pm as i had not had chance for walk at jemima had weird nap times so i kinda want a pleasant (staying same is pleasant) result tomorrow as i HAVE been trying.... but today is lunch with friend at pub and no matter how hard pub tries it is not good food..... oh well here goes nothing
Hello, all you lovely people. Nice to see eveyeone is alive and kicking.
Sorry, I did not come back to you's the other day, life was starting to get away from me.My baby girl had her school ball last friday, so it was all dress, hair, makeup, shoes and such. Can't wait to see the photo's.
And since then have been laid low with a flu. Have been sleeping, lying there just watching TV. Sleeping some more, for the last 4 days.Chest infection is clearing up and now I am starting with the runny nose.
As always, I wait until the holidays to get sick. Looking at my house at the moment I wish I had never got up. Never, ever leave 5 males in your home alone.What a mess!!!!!!
I will be up in the morning, crack the whip and get them to rattle their dags and clean it up.( while I go back to bed)
If I have not lost weight this week I will just go out back and shoot myself.
Good thing about this week is, my gym has been closed while they relocate, back where it was before, after they have made it bigger and with some new machine's etc.
Ok, Ok, Sorry this is all about me. I really have not looked through the posts.
Right now not sure wheather I need a bucket for my nose or to throw up in so I am out of here.
Be Good
Mary
mary you sound miserable. Must be the weather all round for colds. Evryone here has come down with it and BF is the owrst. What is it about men that when they are sick they're dying?. Everything he does to "help" me gets done in slow motion. Really I DO mean slow motion. It's like watching a movie in forward pause mode. I get so frustrated cause even when I am sick (am now grrr) I move and get things done because I have to. I can't stay in bed. Wish I could but my place would be a bit like MaryL said hers is lol. And the kids would kill each other. I've tried it once before but just not worth the stress. Unless I get some ear plugs so I can't hear them all.
Gen did the lady genuinely have seizures? Or was she putting them on. I've seen someone putting on fainting spells and you can really tell how fake they are. It's like a strange cry for attention for some reason.
Eb went well. She cracked a bit of a micky because she is usually so hypo and didn't want to sit. We get the results in a few weeks when we go back to specialist. Unless of cause they uncover something really nasty we'd get a call I am assuming (well you would assume). She only slept for a half hour all day yesterday and was exhausted by the time we got home at 6.30.
Spent the day shopping and eating. Went to pizza hut for lunch but I had pasta (no pizza) and a piece of garlic bread. Then had a half bit of cheesecake for arvo tea.
Didn't spend to much money on crap. I spent it on textbooks and a payment of my course. The only indulgence I had was I went to pumpkin patch. I only went to buy a red top to go under Ebs jacket but they were having a sale and I ended up getting a whole outfit for $80. Thats ok cause it would have been closer to $200 at full price.
I got home to get a message from my eldest daughter that she was involved in a car accident. She's ok, but the car she and her boyfriend bought a week ago is totalled. Her and a friend who just recently got licence were driving on a dirt road. The friends slipper came off (what was she doing driving in slippers? I hear you ask) so she bent down to put it back on, veered to side of raod, so my daughter grabbed wheel to correct and pulled to hard. They flipped and rolled the car. They were stuck upside down with engine running on an isolated road in the dark. Lucky someone came along, pulled them out and gave a lift to town. The girls rang police and they got a fine for leaving the scene. Like would they want one of their kids left on a road like that at night? They went and got a check up and all fine, though it scared the crap outta them. Now she has no car she worked hard for. And let this be a lesson to them. I am of the opinion that perhaps my daughter was driving but dare not ask her and she'll never tell me.
Gotta fly, Ebony is eating brekky and cracking a willy cause she wants to get out of high chair. She's in a mood.
Von xx
PS Kel, She had a seizure a couple of months ago and a couple of "blank": moments since. We have epilepsy in an immediate family member so they are just checking to be "safer than sorry". Drs at time put it down to overload as she got all her back teeth early and all at once. Fingers crossed thats what it was.
Everyone is invited to my ..............
Dancing Carrot Dude Party.... :c arrot:
It's a miracle!!!!!! I am under 90kg!!!!!! today weigh in was VERY pleasant 89.5kg!!!!! I lost 1kg this week, that's the miracle! I had lambshank and roast vegies at the pub yesterday and 2 cookies last night AND milo, on Sunday we had apple crumble and dairywhip and roast beef and veges and as far as I can remember food choices the couple of days before that were not fantastic (chicken burgers and chips definately on saturday and I seem to remember a kebab on Thursday when I was sick) SO I AM AMAZED!!!
I am so over the moon, I will FIGHT to never get over 90kgs ever again, I was telling Jemima that the ONLY reason to get over 90kgs is if I get pregnant again before I am 80kgs (I feel 10kgs when pregnant is a healthy weight gain - the 30kgs i did was stupid)
fight fight fight!
Now I have 'caught' up from my last 3 weeks of staying the same which means i am still only on track to be goal weight end of January if I lose 500grams a week..... have to keep thinking like that as pressure of losing 1kg a week is just too much and I will go insane.
I have a friend who I am telling about calorie king, she is keen and I was so proud of her yesterday... she passed her secret test, she has been talking about losing weight so ihave been encouraging and then 3 weeks ago we compared the calories in coke vs coke zero she ALWAYS has coke and then she saw it was a whole meals worth of calories BUT she seemed to still buy coke..... this pissed me off and i sometimes mentioned how they taste THE SAME so yesterday I told my hubby if jodie buys a coke today I am not going to help her lose weight or talk to her about weight loss again.... and she got a cokezero!!!! so i am excited for her especially since she is not rushing into it and making changes slowly, she doesnt have time to eat much and her biggest problem has been the choices that she makes when it is time to eat or having too much gloriajeans fatty milk coffees so she made another big step in right direction by having it with skinny milk yesterday......
and if my week couldnt get any better, i rang my hubby's boss and organised a day off for him on his birthday in a week and half and i also arranged for his boss to lend him one of his very fancy smancy cars for that weekend and not telling hubby til the day before! today i am off to bunnings to find out about laser levels which is probably the only tool my hubby doesnt have in his shed (he doesnt really need but hey) so i am going to see if they can educate me about those and then check prices - very big day today
gosh i can waffle....... sorry about huge post
Mary GOODLUCK with weigh in....i really hope you get pleasant surprise but you have been sick.... sometimes i think bodies keep the fat around when you are sick so that you can get better
i hope everyone had a good time at my dancing carrot party - hoping for another one next week!!!
Von we were posting at same time
that is so scary about both your daughters!!! I am glad it is over for Eb.... and that you went to pumpkin patch!!! I spent $78 there last week and am going back for more.... just realised today is payday.... hehehehe I bought some of the red cords for Jemima 2 pairs one that will fit her in a couple of months and one that will fit her hopefully in 12months and i am going back for the same ones in a size 3 if they have any left they are a bargain and as i may have mentioned in previous post a sentimental purchase as i have a pair of red cords that i dieted to get into last year and i did and so i plan to do so again! and when i do jem and i will be matching.... i love all the russian doll stuff they have there i bought jem a shirt but i think it size 1 (jemima is in 00 at the moment)
your other daughter is VERY VERY lucky by the sounds of it..... that is so scary, cant believe one day jemima will be driving.... and probably driving some bomb that my hubby fixes up for her cheap.... hmmmmmm
was she insured?? i guess not if they said that friend was driving.....
God Vonni, how scary for your daughter!!! Eek. Glad she's okay.
I am so crippled with sore quads - worked agency last night, and I am sure they thought I was just a cripple of some description as I can't bend my left leg or my quad gives way! Definitely NOT going to do any lower body work tomorrow - squats and lunges on top of skiing for hours at a time just didn't work for my poor "front thighs", as one of my training buddies call them. I know, I'm such a whiner, but I'm serious! Heh.
Warm bath and off to bed for me, worked night shift and now that I'm old they kill me!
Congrats Smylie with your loss. What a great feeling. Hope everything's ok with your baby Vonni, it must be a scary time. Sounds like your daughter had a lucky escape too.
Well I went to a seminar after work last night and of course they provided drinks and nibbles. I stayed away from the Moet (don't ask me how!) and had 1 diet coke and 1 water. I had 5 small pieces of sushi and 2 pieces of crusty bread with salmon and I'm really pleased with myself as usually I scoff loads at these functions.
Had an egg on toast when I got home and by my rekoning, I stuck within my points for the day.
Today I woke up early and went to the gym. Had a great workout and am happy that now I can go straight home from work today.
I've got to say, I'm amazed at how easy I'm finding this all. It seems that now I have my depression under control, everything else has just fallen into place. I've stopped smoking and drinking and neither were difficult at all and I seem to be getting the hang of this exercise and diet thing too!
Well I woke up this morning to go to the gym and promptly went back to sleep so will have to go after work.
Goals for today and the weekend are to stay under my points allowance as I really don't need to eat all of it - my allowance has gone up to 23 a day and that leaves a lot of room for junk - and to exercise every day. No excuses that it's too cold because it's not too cold in the gym!!!
I want Monday's weigh in to be positive like last week's was.
It's all much easier when you're not depressed, isn't it? When people tell you to "snap out of it", I really wish the depression fairy could visit them to let them know how HARD everything seems when you're stuck in it..!
My quads are much better after having multiple hot baths and "magic spray" from the osteopath yesterday. Also refused to do any lower body work this morning - the PT said I was whining! I said "no, when you literally CAN'T WALK PROPERLY in daily life, that's too much!". Jeez. OK, maybe I was whining a little bit haha.
Have stuck to my cals this week, and my sneak peek at the scales this morning was positive. Here's hoping I don't screw it all up this weekend.
If you can't whine when you're sore when can you whine!!
Ladies, I am SO excited. Last night at the gym I obliterated my own record and did something that I barely thought possible ......
I ran for 20 minutes non stop!!!
I am so proud of myself for doing something that I really doubted I was capable of. After that, I walked for 20 minutes and then cycled for another 20 minutes and I felt really great afterwards.
I also made sure I stuck well within my points allowance by going to bed early Can't be tempted if I'm not conscious, right!
Today I'm going to go back to the gym and have another good workout, with less cardio and some weights this time.
Wow I must have been on line when you wrote this!!!!
If I could,, I would crawl through the lines and give you the biggest hug ever!!! You have every right to be proud of yourself.
LittleKiwi that's awesome. You must feel so proud of yourself
I'm having a pretty uneventful week. I don't expect to lose any weight because I've done no exercise, and at the moment my back is feeling really stiff and sore. The fractured vertebrae is right where I do my bra up - so as you can imagine, there aren't many movements I can do that don't affect that part of my back.
Not much planned for the weekend either. There's a lot I would like to do, but I'm a bit restricted.
Perthchick, a wheatbag helps with mine i have the same in T5,6,7. Just above the bra line,now with a bit of osto in them and it always plays up a bit in colder weather. I made my own wheat bag about a foot long and then sewed it into 3 sections so it goes all the way down the middle of my back. works wonders. If i don;t do this it will give me pain 24/7.An old pillow case and a trip to the bulk store costs about $5. hope this helps.
MaryL
Little Kiwi, well done, that's awesome!! You'll be doing fun runs in no time hehe!
Mary, I LOVE my wheat pack! Far too lazy to make my own, but worth every cent!
I'm so annoyed, I have 3 weeks left in sydney, and a friend lined up to buy my vacuum, and it died tonight! I vacuumed and it was fine, then I moved room and it won't turn on! Do they normally crash and burn, or just *not work* one minute? Doh! Could it not have lasted one more month? Heh.
Yep Gen sorry to say. They do just suddenly die. Trust me, I get them back for eturn at work all the time, and my other half used to sell top quality ones and even they die. I think it's just luck of the draw.
Can't be tempted if I'm not conscious, right!
You have every right to be proud of yourself.
