oh yeah and i didnt weigh in
maybe next week

and thanks for chaffisge advice
bikepants awesome idea will do that
and then cream for when it hurts
it seems to come and go - right now all good!

i am one big fat deflated balloon and i dont know why

hey guys had a stressful weekend.. that led me hiding in a corner ignoring the world and switching the phones off , keeping the curtains closed and myself binging yesterday.. i had chocolate 160grams of it plus a snickers bar..... yup you guessed it had to skip dinner last night.(wasnt hungry). and felt angry at myself.. .. but better day today ...

Its all over my sister.. who has once again had a mental breakdown and is in a hospital in the mental ward over in sydney..

She has been in and out of trouble for 12 years.. trashing houses.. gathering debt.. druggy friends.. abusive hubby.. you name it.. she has done everythign she could to upset our parents from not talking to them to calling them names . and marrying mr incredible... But now expects us all to go to sydney because she has really ballsed it up this time.. My parent are towing there van to sydney as we speak.. and yesterday they were nearly killed when i semi plowed straight into a stupid P platter that tried to over take there van and car without looking .. they also blew a tyre replaced it only to be pulled up by someone becuase the one the put on was falling off..... wrong sized nut holes made the wheel move and the nuts wiggle off.

My sister keeps trying to call me reverse charge.. so im ignoring the phone.. i dont want to know... her usual lies... she is saying she is going to leave her pond scum husband but we will see... ( he is a ex child prostatute with paraniod scitzophrenia that got locked up for trying to kill some one.. a couple of years ago for 18 months.. lost his job cant get another one and has been living off her wage ever since... any wonder she is in a mental ward? and the pair of them live in one of those rentals you see on ACA)

so yep i have had enough and got to the point of ....... talk to the hand.. becuase the ear aint listening.. ...

other wise ive been ok.. one dietry slip up.. only was 1832 cals that day so not to drastic really just annoying.. I have been keeping busy clearing out extra crap in my house.. started with my fat clothes.. then the shed... then the kids toys.. then Leahs clothes... then the kitchen and today the linene cupbaord.. IM sick of having all this stuff we dont use and having trouble putting away the stuff we do use.. so its all gone.. goodwill bins.. and the salvos shop.. :) feels great :) oh and of course the good old fashioned rubbish bin too lol..

Amy :hug:

oh amy that is full on
hang in there!

Amy I think it's very wise to not get caught up in your sister's dramas. As tough as it is, you have enough going on in your own life - and she needs to take some responsibility for her own behaviour. And even though it has been said a million times before, you can't control or change what someone else does - all you can control is your own reactions to them.

I know it's really tough, because she is family - and I am thinking of you :hug:.

I had an OK day yesterday: ate 1650 calories, walked 10km - but I only drank 1.2L of water. Still… a lot better than I have been, so I'll take that as a mostly successful day.

I think I have discovered what is wrong with me - I'm feeling restless, and beginning to think about leaving Perth. On some levels I have been thinking about it for a little while, and I have been here for about 20 years, so it isn't all that easy.

But I've been toying with the idea of moving to Queensland (I have two sisters living there) - and then on Sunday one of my closest friends from many years ago got in touch with me through Facebook. And would you believe it, she lives in Brisbane!

I'll give it some more thought over the next few months and see how well it sits with me.

Anyway, in the meantime I need to try and have another good day with my weight loss, and work to reach those goals. I have two days off, and I'm hoping to catch up with Lindor while she's here - it might be my last chance for ages because she is going to be moving interstate soon.

Julia are you back from Canada yet?

I'm back!

:wave:

Had a great time in Canada but am suffering for it now. I'm tired and run down and feel like I could sleep for a week.

Had a nice weekend celebrating my 30th birthday but overindulged somewhat and that is no doubt adding to my feeling crap.

We were so well fed on my trip and I'm finding it hard to get back into the swing of cooking for myself again. I've got a session with my trainer tonight that I'm dreading because I feel so flat but I'll go because I know it'll do me good.

I've had a quick skim over all of your posts. Happy birthday to Elerine - hope it was a great one! Kel, congrats on the new job, I hope you enjoy it lots. Amy, I don't really know what to say about your dramas but hang in there chick, you'll get through it.

Ani that's potentially an exciting change for you to make. Vonni, sounds like you're loving what you're doing at the moment and that's awesome :D

Keep checking in Barb, you're doing some great work at the moment. Gen, how's things going with you? You in the middle of winter over there now? Brrrr.

That's about it for today. I'm so out of synch with food etc so will just try to get back on track this week.


:twirly:

hey hey
i have NEVER really thought about weight control that way
being "in synch" with your food
being "in synch" with your body
my daughter and my hubby are TOTALLY "in synch" with their food choices and know when they need to eat and can and are satisfied with just that they dont OVERinduldge but they induldge

i will THINK about that
and go and find something for lunch - i know there is fresh bread and i have lettuce IN MY GARDEN but no tomatoes ready yet.... tomorrow i will buy some and keep watching the rain make the ones in the garden bigger

so yippee LETTUCE SANDWICH for lunch hehehehehe maybe i will add some tuna

hey guys thanks .. im ok but just really needed to vent. :)

Im back in control and ignoring the phone.. lol.. well letting the machine get it before i do and scanning the calls :) my folks should reach sydney today and them being off those roads makes me feel a bit more relaxed..

Im making some real progress with my excess stuff.. which is great and i have tied up some loose ends i keep forgetting about.. like the canceling insurance on the old car we no longer have a hard rubbish pickup for the old dishwasher.. and filing away paper work to find the new bankcard in the pile.. :)..

this month has been a great one for weightloss for me.. i have lost almost double what i usually do.. so im very happy about that... im gonna make my goal of 110 for xmas.. no problems at this stage.. lol..


Ani you sure are changing your life around.. first the job and house and now thinkignabout the state.. wow .... so could you get bunnings to tranfer you ?? that would be good to have a bit of job securitry when you get there..

Kel .. can you come over and dig me a veggies garden please??? frsh veg is so much nicer then shop stuff...

Julia great to have you back.. i was just wondering when you were coming back

I went to the gym last night, the only chance I'm going to get all week. Weighed in and am up 0.5kg which I'm relieved with that it's not more.

Off to get more tattooing done tonight then off to Auckland for the weekend to see Def Leppard in concert.

Off work on Monday as my dad's going into full time hospital grade care so I'm going to have the day off work to help mum get him settled in.

That's all for now, will check in again next week.

Ciao!

Hello, my name is Kylie, and I'm not going to be overweight for long!

So there is only two of us in the office, and we both weigh the same amount. We both wracked up MASSIVE bills at the coffee shop downstairs, so we've decided, that's it. No More. We are going halves in salad stuff and we made lunch today together - it was great!

No more 3-5 skinny lattes per day either.

And....wait for it...

I joined the gym!! I'm going first thing tomorrow morning. There's an RPM class scheduled, but I don't want to scare myself off on the first day! It's right near work, so I'll just walk in like normal, work out, then shower/dress/doodle-bop to work.

The gym has everything I need - cardio, Les Mills (yay!), sauna, steamroom, aromatherpay (can you believe it?!). I've signed on a month-by-month contract because I am hoping and praying that I will be overseas in April next year.

Amy, I really hope you are ok. I've done the family drama thing this year too, it's hard. You sound like you're going ok (minus the drawn curtains and chocolate), so chin up hon, everything will come out in the wash.

Julia - I hope Canada was freakin' awesome! It's on my list of places to go (like everywhere else I guesss). I'm hoping to live/work in Central Asia for a year, after stopping in at a conference in Prague. Central Asia is pretty much the countries that end in -stan.

Ani, glad to hear that you are plugging away.

Hope all is well with everyone.

and Kel, once you're done with Amy's garden, can you do mine? :P
