Julia I can see why you're happy that got sorted out! I'm trying to decide what to do with my hair at the moment - still thinking!!!
Yesterday was pretty good, although I didn't enjoy the fish and chips so much. I'm going to eat a lot more clean today, and drink heaps of water too.
My housemate moved out this morning, and the new one arrives on Sunday. I don't have a great deal of optimism about the new one - but I guess I'll just have to wait and see. She might surprise me.
Big weekend for me - our Pride Parade is on (Perth's equivalent to Sydney's Mardi Gras), and I have to help organise it tomorrow night. Then I have to take photos … and then have to go to the dance parties and take photos there. Then of course, the new housemate moves in Sunday.
Add to that the deadlines I am working to for Monday, and it all feels a bit overwhelming.
Oh well, it might take my mind off the interview I have coming up. It's nearly three weeks away, and I'm already scared sh!tless
OK - must go and do some work!
Ani

Hello all! I am back!!!
Feeling somewhat disappointed in myself just now though. Of the five promises I listed, I managed to keep number one and number four only! Well, I guess really number one doesn't count and I only really get to count half of number four...because my week was far from good in regard to my weight-loss efforts! Argh!!!
I hate disruption!!! Back on track tomorrow!
I have to apologise, I have not read over any of the posts I have missed yet, I am only in the door five minutes! And I feel like I am going to crash pretty soon!
I have not slept much in the last two nights as I had an uncontrolled little brat in the room next door who (by the sound of it!) had a ball of a time rearranging the furniture in the room to make a suitable playground to play in until after midnight!!! Where the **** the parents where I do not know!!!
And I am feeling further disgruntled at the fact that we are being ripped off one hour from our weekend on this side of the country!!
Hey Lindor, glad to see you home safe and sound. Hope you got a good night's sleep after all the disruptions.
There's no point beating yourself up over a bad week. I think you would benefit more from just putting it behind you, and moving onto a fresh new goal for this week.
Having to go away all the time is really disruptive, and I know that when my routine is broken up I struggle to stay on goal.
Yesterday was another reasonable day for me. I ate 1450 calories and drank 2.6L of water. Didn't do any exercise though, in spite of my good intentions.
I'm planning to potter today, and soak up my ONE day of solitude before the new housemate moves in.
I so wish I could afford to live on my own! I HATE having people around all the time…
Woohoo - *just* made it under 90 by the skin of my teeth - 89.9kg (- 700g)! I'm happy with that after my exceedingly horrid binge this week!
Would like to be between 89 and 89.5 next week, so got to get the skates on this week. Unfortunately as I tipped under 90, I drop from 26 to 23 WW points this week. Doh!
I know exactly what you mean. I have a pile of people around me all the time and the other half just doesn't get it when I want to sneak away somewhere quiet and just BE.
Ani what a bugger. How'd you break a rib? Take it easy and hope it gets better soon. At least you won't have to help the other housemate unload their belongings
Gen here's that carrot Kel was trying to give you
Lindor despite your best intentions of watching calories etc.... Did you have a good week as far as a week away is concerned? Hope so. Hope you had some good times
I've been not to bad with eating, but need more water and really DO want to start doing some bloody exercise. But don't seem to have energy at the moment.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get rid of my "apron"? It just seems to hang in front non matter how much weight I lose. It's so uncomfortable trying to wear pants and I look bloomin pregnant all the tikme.
Vonni, the only way to lose anywhere is to lose everywhere. Can you work out a weights routine or something to decrease your body fat % if it's too high? People often have a certain area that is stubborn until the last few kgs come off.
Vonni some people have surgery to remove their apron. I've read, around these and other forums, that it might go away or reduce after a couple of years. Guess it's all individual, hey!
How'd I break my rib? Well it was something really silly I did … I have water delivered in those 15L bottles, and I was in a bad mood the other day and decided I could replace a bottle one-handed. As they say: you can't put brains in statues
Anyway, I have ten perfectly healthy ribs, so I won't complain too much!
I ate very, very bad yesterday but have been good today. Whether that will be enough to get me below 85kg tomorrow morning, who knows! But I've been pretty good for most of the week.
hey hey vonni, i did hear and i am very sorry to be bearer of bad news that if you have a c-section the apron may never fully go away.
i will ask my personal trainer if there IS anything that can focus getting the weight off there but gen is right it comes off everywhere at once really.... or your boobs.... always lose the boobs.
i am SERIOUSLY considering putting jemima on the bottle and then doing a shakes diet to "shake" a bit of this 'excess' weight faster, i am just getting over everything!
jemima has really started to 'stuff around' while feeding too especially at 2am, which is annoying me especially with the heat (if i am asleep i dont realise how muggy it is) so even though i know that is a bad idea at least me having succeeded and failed the shakes diets before i will perhaps be able to make it work.
i am going to the doc to find out more about switching jemima to a bottle, not really looking forward to it but dont want to wait 4 months or so until she weans herself.... and want my body back.....
Yummo at the roast Kel. Can I come? We had nachos. Eaten nothing but crap this weekend and drank no water today. Put it down to the heat, nowhere to go today or anything to do. Sat on the couch most of the day watching SVU on pay tv. Got a bit depressed with the other half. We had massive arguement last night over stuff he said to my kids that he shouldnt have, and when confronted he got peeved and told his kids to pack their stuff he was outta here. I wish he would sometimes. Relationship is just in the to hard basket 90% of the time latety. I want more out of life to broaden my horizons, he wants more out of life materially. He's not happy within himself and admits jealous of me doing this nursing. hmmmm. Another thing is he KNOWS I want to lose weight and lovely enough he says but honey you're fine to me, your tummy is sexy. He just doesn't seem to GET the fact that its NOT fine with ME.
PS. Kel don't beat yrself up about putting bub on bottle. you've done well and given her the first few months of life the best. I fed 3 of my kids and the last I couldnt. For weeks her and I suffered and I felt guilty as **** when going to bottle, but wouldnt hesitate again.
If you are not in the right head space to feed she may get fussy and that will drag your health down. An unhealthy mum is an unhappy baby. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
My apologies for being so slack this week with my posts. I have been very busy sewing ballet costumes for my daughter's concert (not my strong point) and work has been a nightmare. Still stayed mostly on track but had a bad day on Tuesday.
Vonni, sorry to hear about your partner. I hope it works out the way you want it to.
Kel congrulations of the new kitchen, I bet that roast was fantastic. You can sit back and relax now and enjoy. I hope weaning goes well. I go by the saying that if Mum is happy the baby will be happy.
Gen congrulations for getting under 90 kgs!!!! How cool is that!
Overall I am 4 weeks into my weight loss and am just starting to lose the raw motivation that got me started. I have to keep reminding myself that this is a good idea and worth the effort.
