Damn I duno what the heck?.... I tallied EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING i ate today. No cheating and I have only had 731 calories. Go figure... I even had 2 bikkies and a huge silverside meal. lmao.

[LittleKiwi]

God Amy what a pain! At least you got your money back I guess. I certainly wouldn't be buying with them again. Hope you can find something somewhere else.

Good to see you back Kel!

I had another good day yesterday. Was right on track with my diet and had a good session at the gym.

Goals for today: stick to my points and do 60 minutes light cardio tonight.

[smylie]

vonni - go eat some m&ms that will fix the calorie count
julia - 60 mins light cardio.... how about 30 mins hard core cardio and 30 mins light cardio? i should be a personal trainer......
i should get my arse into gear and figure out what my plan is with regards to weight loss and exercise - it is like i am waiting for something to change... but what??

[PerthChick]

Vonni DON'T go and eat M&Ms - Kel's being outrageous

Amy I would have lodged a complaint about that woman - what a pig!

Julia - you go girl!

Now Kel what are you doing, aside from trying to lead Vonni astray? Take a deep breath because you KNOW you can lose weight and eat more healthy - you know it! I get the feeling that idiot doctor has thrown you for a loop. Are you OK?

We have a bit of a problem in our section at work. Five of us have a kind of stomach flu thingy - one has been off work for three weeks, two are in hospital, and the other two of us are battling through. But work is a bit worried about it. I've had it since Friday and haven't felt too good all week - but I am still going to work.

Then yesterday morning my cat got sick again. I found a new vet who has opened just around the corner, and she was lovely - but I have to take him back this morning.

I am on track with my weight loss this week though. Trying to eat really well and drink heaps of water so my body can stay strong while I'm fighting off this bug.

[amouse]

KEL>>>>>>> M&M"S really ....... dont even go there lol you are soooo bad.. lol

that gave me a good laugh though thank you for that.. ..

oh yeah i need to take back a earlier comment ( way up there ^^^) or maybe just change it a little.. if you want a treadmill dont go to kmart.. if you want a broken treadmill.. go to kmart lol.. .

So i have bitten the bullet and put that money onto a new you bute expensive elliptical .. lol its on layby so it is gonna take me a while before i get it .. but at least im going to get it .. im considering ringing befit hire and hiring a bike or something in the mean time.. the bikes are the cheapest.. i think they are 40 a month.. what do you think? better then doing aerobics or should i just do the boring ols aerobic?? .. my problem is my good workout i was doing watching big brother.. and the biggest loser.. and i cant do aerobics while watching tv.. .. so im missing a good 30-40 minutes a cardio a day now .. when i would do aerobics in the day and then the elliptical at night .. and i was losing, now im stalled no weightloss at all ..

so i dont knoe if i wait or find a cheap bike on ebay or hire one.. what do you think?

[smylie]

cheap bike
m&ms rock
idiot doctor is a dick
my doctor is wonderful - went and saw him today and we have started me on a mental health plan that means i can go to shrink and get medicare rebate and sort out the anxiety that is affecting me (got to sort it out coz i sometimes feel so out of control i am terrified i'll hurt jemima which is the main reason she is in daycare lots to get her away from me and that makes me sad)
but it also affects my eating
i now binge eat
i am not hungry but i eat if we are at the table for a meal
i am not hungry so if noone else about i wont eat and then i am starving and then i eat whateva
so i guess i should take some control of that.......... still dont know what i am waiting for - i cleaned my kitchen just then though it looks awesome, i think when i clean the whole house i will be ready to do one thing at a time and plan lunches and dinner and stuff like i used to
i am taking control of lots of things but finding lots of normal day to day things really hard
and it is really hard to admit it

got a new shirt and wore it for the first time today - it is so funny

"If a fat girl falls in the woods - do the trees laugh?"

too funny

mwah

amy - coz of your kmart problem i did not go there for toy sale i am going to big w
buy a bike it will cost you the same in the long run as hiring one and not as mujch as a pain in the butt

vonni - ignore the other girls - m&ms rock - but honestly if you have a calorie deficienty you should have a banana they are heaps cheap and will fill you up and are so so good for you they are a super food

ani - do you take vitamins to help ward off the sickness that is at your work?? and what is wrong with your cat??? i hope he/she is going to be ok

[amouse]

Ok problem solved for the time being.. i went to cash converters and bought a mini tramp.. so i can do my afternoon cardio.. $10 and i have a solution till i can get the elliptical off layby..

[smylie]

and your kids will love it too
what a great solution!
i am going to line up at big w tomorrow (i kinda did today but was with friend with baby so couldnt keep waiting) and buy jemima a tramp 13foot! with net! cant wait - the 3 dogs and her will love it

[amouse]

yeah tramps are fun we have a small one atm the kinder tramp that is about 2 ft off the ground and has a small rectancle mat.. its max weight is 40kg.. so im considering getting the kids a bigger one for xmas this year .. i have to talk to hubby about it first though .. he's the one that needs to move it to mow the lawn .. lol .

I have just done 20 minutes on the mini tramp and my butt is on fire.. my calves are tight and i feel like i have had a decent workout.. lol its alot harder work then i thought it would be.. i spent and hour or so searching through you tube for workout moves you can do on it and did those.. it was good.. and im happy.. ..

If you go though the catalouges big w's prices are slightly cheaper then kmart anyway.. the tramps are alot cheaper in big w .. the 13ft is 399 in kmart and 334 in big w the one in bigw is better to.. it has a 110kg rating and is round where the one in kmart is 100kg and is oval. so bigw is the way to go .

[pacman12]

I'm still around, and reading everything. I just can't seem to get the whatever I need to get started again. I have not been taking my antidep medication religiously, so maybe I'm out of whack. I just have no motivation for anything and am finding it hard to get out of bed, even though it's 25-30 deg and gorgeous most days here atm. I keep thinking something will happen to get me started too, Kel.. but I don't think it will haha!

[7senuf]

Gen welcome back here luvvy

Kel yr baaad M & Ms'!!!! Really!!!! hehe but sounds like a plan.

nope I just let it slide. I went to bed early and had a cup of tea and a little piece of carrot cake. It was lovely and took my calories up a bit without going over the top.

Today I havent worked out yet. But I did eat a boost bar at work and I felt totally ill.

GO BIW W.

Thanks Kel for supporting my work you support my job lol. No matter where ya live.

And Amy I am sorry things didnt happen at Kmart. In what happened with it..... We have had simialr. I S & D stuff and send out back for either clearance or trashy and sometimes it ends up back on the floor. Depends on the mnanagers of those departtments at the time whether they could be bothered or not on doing the paperwork to write something off.

Looks like everyone had a blast on here today. took forever to read it.

Ani hope yr cat is better and you to. Sounds like a rotten bug going around yr work. Prob with big places is once it gets around everyone the germ has mutated so the 1st person gets it back in a different way. Sux hey/

Gotta go.
Reading a good book at the moment called SOLD by a lady called Tess something. True story and very good but sad to.

Vonni xxx

[LittleKiwi]

Oh I've read Sold. Heartbreaking story

Amy great idea to get a mini tramp! I know what you mean about having a sore butt and calves - those things give you a killer workout!

Kel I'm glad that your regular doctor is going to be able to help you. I hope things get better for you soon.

Gen! Great to see you back please remember we're all here if you need to let off steam. Don't be a stranger!

Ani I hope the dreaded lurgie is on its way out. Nothing worse than a crook tummy

I had a good day again yesterday. Stuck to my points and had a great workout at the gym - did my circuit type weights session followed by 30 minutes of 2 minute walk/1 minute run intervals.

Goal for today is to stick to my points.

Bring on the weekend! I'm working tomorrow then visiting a friend and her new baby. In the evening I'm going to a friend's place for dinner and she's going to cook me a special low fat meal before we go to the pub for a couple of quiet drinks.

Sunday I'm thinking of going to a Bikram Yoga class but will play it by ear. Hope you all have a great weekend.

[7senuf]

Bikram yoga... Isn't that the one where the room is heated pretty warm? And yr supposed to release yr toxins as well as get peaceful? Damn I hate living in a country hick town sometimes.

I have a new goal.

Clear my debts (not that I have many or huge amounts) then move to a city where I can DO these things.

[smylie]

i was thinking the same thing vonni - but i live in the city where you can do whateva you want!!!
i was thinking sigh yoga sigh i USED to do that....
so what is stopping me now??? same answer for everything
i dont know

[LittleKiwi]

Yep, Bikram Yoga is a 90 minute class where the room is heated to 38 degrees. The only thing I don't like about it is the price - $15 a class. However, it's a nice thing to do when it's freezing outside and I really enjoyed it when I used to do it last year.

Had a day off the gym yesterday and ate a little over my points allowance but nothing too drastic. Goal for today is to stick to my usual mealtimes (I always struggle with that on the weekends), write down everything I eat and stick to my points.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
