KICK SOME BUTT ANI!

oh before i forget..... you were right........ M&M machine in house is NOT a good idea.... i would go to kitchen, i want a cookie..... no kelly have yogurt or apple instead... good girl..... oh and 5 m&ms...... GRRRR

been doing 2 walks a day the last two days so that is good..... am going to weigh in in the morning instead of thursday (unless result is bad then i'll try again....) just feel like seeing what it says and having high tea and roast tomorrow........

had some big mind frame changes the last couple of days... been annoyed at myself for gossiping and *****ing and stuff so making big improvements there, had a go at my neighbour but all good now and sick to death of everyone i know having babies or being pregnant.... but feeling heaps better now....
going with the 'life is too short and baby is too beautiful to worry about everyone else' motto... is working for me at the moment.

Hi all. I put a straightner and dryer on layby. Its a remington and is only $44 but I spent to much in Bris. Got myself a laptop...woohooo. And a few clothes for hte kids and a handbag. Went to pancake manor, toscanis, some healthy sandwich place and maccas (lmao) It was one B&E muffin only AND I only had 2 cappacinos the whole time. Grrr on the way down my windscreen cracked.

Ani I feel for you with yr housemate. Hopefully it all settles for you soon enough. Barb holy dooly where did you spring up from? Kel I'm like you at the moment.... good intentions but go by the wayside.

Damn I have been like it for ages. Ok I got my student nurse uniforms and I HAVE to lose a few kilos before residential. They r a bit tight around my tum.

Gotta fly, baby getting into everything
Von

nothing like your uniform not fitting as it should to make you want to lose weight!
i ate too much tonight so no doubt will be disappointed with weigh in.
i hate knowing I CAN lose the weight when I try, and I hate this half job harry attempt i am doing at the moment... 2 walks a day is a waste of time if i am going to eat crap!

Hello ladies

Something very strange happened to me at the gym last night ... I seem to have turned into some sort of exercise machine.

I ran for 30 minutes! Then I walked for 10 minutes and then I ran for another 20 minutes!!!!!

I am still gobsmacked that I did it and that I actually really enjoyed it.

Weird

My size 18 uniform skirt is now starting to get baggy and people are starting to say that they can really notice a difference which is awesome.

Keep it up ladies. We can do this

WTG Julia. That is so awesome. I got up this morn in all good intentions to go for a walk and it's bloody raining. Grrrr. We do need the rain though, just as much as I need to walk. I am thinking of nvesting in a stepper like Lindor has. Speaking of Lindor..... Are you lurking? A BIG HUGE HELLO if you are just silently sitting in.

A big Hi to everyone that I have missed the past couple of weeks. I know I should log in a little more but......

Vonni.

PS - Kel are the teeth through yet?

Another day and I haven't got my head right…

OK! I'm going to walk this morning and spend an hour or so doing domestics. My housemate is going away for a 4-day weekend on Friday - and I am hanging out for that. Hopefully she will be moving out in the next two weeks!!!

In the meantime I want to set myself some exercise challenges, and especially to get back into the habit of walking every day. That, more than anything else, seems to be the thing that determines how successful I am with my weight loss.


Ani

OK Here goes.

Chips and chocolate I have just discovered are NOT my friends. I have been treating them as my BEST friends and they have only served the purpose of destroying my confidence in this struggle with weight loss.

I have put on half of what I have lost since Feb.

I have become a couch potato. I sit mon my arse all day and have my nose in books or on the tv. The only exercise I get is housework (and thats minimal) and walking around the shops. I have officially become a sloth. I am sitting here STILL in my jammies and it is lunchtime. My hair is unbrushed, and because I seem to have lost the time for my friends, I feel no need to brush it cause noone is going to be knocking on my door for coffee.

I eat crap all day and never eat regular meals. Except for evening meal, and thats only because I HAVE to feed everyone else in this family.

I have been thinking of getting back on my tablets for a month or two. To kickstart my energy and curb my hunger. Though I need to emotionally get a grip on the hunger thing. I eat because I am lonley, bored, sad and frustrated with life and people. At the moment I get annoyed at people who are so selfish they can not see the benefit of my career goals. Then on the other hand I feel that I am being selfish in not understanding why they feel that way.

My kids are being so naughty I am ready to put a for sale sign on their foreheads and sit them on the fence post. My son as ODD, ADHD and Tourettes. And tells his father and grandfather that he gets beaten up by my BF (just to get attention) then laughs about the lies when we confont him about it. I feel sometimes I am too lenient on him, yet when tough I have to reign myself in and understand him. His natural father doesn't seem to give a care and won't support me in any decisions or give him his medication when he is there for the weekend. he doesn't even get up him for his lies, just says stop in a blase tone. My son's having a hard time at school and I can't get to see the teachers with bub and when the other half gets home I feel I have to BE here for him.

The 7yr old is wetting the bed at least 3 nights a week. I thought was an emotional thing but watching her it is a DEEP sleep thing. She just can't wake herself up. So I am exhausted washing sheets all the time also.

Anyhow, I just had to vent. I feel better now. heehee

Vonni

Vonni, ask your doc about the wetting bed thing - there is some alarm you can get that you put a sensor on the bed which goes off if they start to wet it - might save some sheets!

Oh Vonni

I'm glad you came and vented

It's certainly not an easy journey is it. That's a shame that you've gained back half of what you lost but hey, at least you're recognising it and are able to put a stop to that now. Half is better than gaining it all back

This is a battle that we can win and coming here to get some support is a really positive step to be taking.

Let us know if there's anything that anyone here can do to help you. We're all in this together.

Keep on keeping on

Julia, I can't believe you ran that much! Congrats, that's AMAZING!!

Very happy that the physio told me today I'm not allowed to run with the achilles injury, or skip or jump. He wants me to stick to the cycle, elliptical, weights. Got some ultrasound therapy, so the foot feels great for now.

Hit the gym again last night but just did weights and some light cardio. Tonight is my cardio night so I'll do 60 minutes of whatever I feel like when I get there

Off to get my eyes tested this afternoon and I can't wait. I'm positive that I need glasses and it'll be great to get the ball rolling on that.

gosh i feel like a slack arse.
i have no excuse to be not losing at least a little bit of weight....
jemima may make interesting but not impossible, she does not tell me to eat crap, and she likes our walks and there is nothing stopping me hoppingon the cross trainer when she goes to bed......

still 89.5 HEAPS better than yesterday's sneak weighin of 90!!! oops!

vonni how old is your son who is being naughty? poor you with 7 yearold bedwetter, i cant remember when i stopped but i am sure i didnt do it on purpose, wonder what makes kids do it...

the teeth in my babies mouth are SO SO close and she is SO SO grissly, makes me want a break big time.... got in huge fight with mum last night as she wants to look after her but whenever i say she is all yours the fact that i am there makes her not want to do it for herself, too scared of doing it wrong but she says if i wasnt there she would be fine.... very frustrating as i have told her there is no wrong! and that as long as she doesnt cut her eyelashes its all good...... the fight may have been more aboutthe way i was talking to her not what i was saying, i am very frustrated at the moment as it seems that i am the ONLY one that can look after jemima??? is she the first baby in the world?? i think not...

My housemate is going away for a long-weekend tomorrow. That means I get some wonderful solitude in 22 hours and 44 minutes from now!

Not that I'm counting .

You'll be able to dance around the house naked Ani!

Ha ha Julia - the neighbours would be thrilled if I did that - not

Nine hours to go, and hopefully I'll be asleep for most of them!

I've been good today. I walked for an hour, drank 2.4L of water and ate 1600 calories. I'm still not allowed to do weights or anything else - not even situps - so have to be a bit careful. But at least I feel like I'm on track, and motivated to keep going.
