yes all or nothing is self defeating you are right

i just found a forum that helps you declutter your house/world and it is baby steps and when you put all the baby steps together you have a well oiled machine
so i am going to join and give it a go
i think i definately need to be more organised in order to lose weight, i need to know what food i have in the house i need to know what i am doing and how long i have to cook dinner and who will be eating with me etc
i need meal plans and stuff like that

it is all coming together

oh
not happy jan
it is that time of the month!
my 3rd in 3 years so i should not complain but honestly as if i need anything else to think about - the minipill and breastfeeding was keeping it away sigh

gotta go got to work again tomorrow and only finished at 9.15 tonight ho hum

everyone is going really well considering it is the silly season... no body seems to have gone silly

julia while you can DEFINATELY make more time to take yourself out.... that is actually a great idea i think i will do that next year when i have maybe mondays to myself (until 5 when i work) or thursdays after work if i am then not volunteering at the opshop i think i will take myself to lunch and make it somewhere NICE not maccas....

I'm going to aim for a 'perfect weekend' with my goals. I'm working 9-5pm both days and I expect we are going to be really busy, so I need some discipline and commitment.

I have all my meals planned for today, and I think they are reasonably balanced. I just have to find the discipline to give away all the free chocolate that is being handed out to me at work .

My housemate moves out on Christmas Eve. She's off to NSW on the Indian Pacific, and I'll have my solitude back - yay! It has been good having someone here for a month, and has taken some of the financial pressure off me, but I don't know that I would cope with it on a full-time basis.

Anyway, better get ready for work. I hope you all have a great weekend.

if i want a kick arse vege garden by jemima's birthday feb 17 should i plant some seedlings now beside my established vege plants? so when these ones are "over" i have a new batch ready and bearing?
you should see my cucumbers they are going off!!

plant plant plant away Kel. And I'm hearing ya about finishing then starting. I finished work 9.30 Friday night then started again on Saturday at 7.45 finished at 6.30. What a day. BUT for the second Sat in a row I had no dramas with customers woohoo. Oh yeah, while I wa on my ,unch break the girl coverin me did have a woman reach over counter to grab phone for manager. she was pissed about something.... glad I missed it, I would have rapped her over the knuckles with the handpiece lol.

Havent typed in my food to cal king for a few days. Sitting down later to do it, i can remember everything. All in all, I havent been that bad. Tho last night i did have 3 shortbread bikkies and 2 squares of choc. ONLY TWO WOOHOO. Usually I would eat 2 rows (the huge blocks and theres 8 squares a row).

George is visiting me to Kel grrrr and I have a head cold so feeling pretty crappy. WIll try drinking more water to keep hydrated today.

Ani, Gens right.. new chick. But then, do you have time for that right now? Or want to be in a better headspace, tho you seem to be pretty damn good at the moment. You know what you want and are going after it. Good on you. What sort of keyboard are you getting? What sort of music do you like to play?

Where did evwyboddy go?

I'm here and I'm f*@#$ng angry. Popped over to a friend's place yesterday and she had a big fat black eye, thanks to her husband

I'm so incredibly angry!!!

Grrrr.

Nice.. hope she reported him to the cops, although knowing what I know about women, I doubt it.

Julia!

Some of the rage comes from feeling so utterly helpless to fix something like that, and the tragic thing in that situation is that you can't do anything to change your friend's situation.

Is she safe now? Is she going to stay with him? The most important thing you can do for your friend is to give her support - and to do what you can to see that she is safe. I bloody hate violent people.

Kel plant another bunch of vegetables now - it's a perfect time for your late-summer crops.

Vonni I play just about anything - very badly - and I often make up stuff. It's something I really enjoy doing, and I cannot wait to get my new keyboard!

I didn't weigh in this morning - I will do it tomorrow. I came home from work last night feeling really sore and tired, but knowing I needed a big meal of protein and vegetables. I ate chicken and a HEAP of green veges - and I know that if I jumped on the scales today I would weigh heavy from "food weight". But tomorrow I'll weigh-in and see if this plateau has begun to move.

Incidentally, on my "virtual walk around Australia" I will pass through Kalgoorlie this week, and head south towards Norseman.

No wonder I'm tired

She hasn't reported him, and she won't leave him. Part of the reason I'm so mad and sad about it is because I've been through it myself and know exactly what she's going through.

It's damn frustrating knowing that all I can do is to be there for her.

only 300grams gained with stupid week so i am actually not sad about that could have been worse
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE i think am too busy to be on computer anymore this week
life is insane

Got home from work at 10pm last night - no housemate. Very unusual! Sent her an SMS - no response. About 20 minutes later the phone rings, the police telling me she is with them and is very upset. The copper is telling me they are going to bring her home, and then tells me they had to drag her off the train tracks - twice!

I suggest to him that he might like to take her to hospital instead. And then I ask to speak to her. She is hysterical: "these c*&#s are trying to stop me from standing in front of a train". I listen for a few minutes and then ask to speak to the copper again.

This time I say to him: You WILL take her to the hospital and you WILL tell them she stopped taking her medication about a week ago.

He doesn't disagree this time.

The poor woman. She is taking anti-anxiety and anti-depression medication and stopped one of them quite suddenly - it haunts me that if the coppers hadn't seen her on that train track last night… *shiver*.

What is it about Christmas that seems to bring out the sadness, despair and hopelessness in people?

Ani, how do you find all the nutters?

OMG Ani that is so awful for you and her. I hope everything goes ok with her. Let us know how everything pans out. Are you ok? It must have been upsetting for you.

gosh that puts stuff in perspective doesnt it
no matter what problems we have others have the same and or worse and dont cope with them it is so sad and silly but life i guess
are you ok ani?
