  • Hello Ladies,

    How are things with all of you? I'm feeling quite fine this am - not least because I've lost another kg (that really deserves a dancing carrot!), but also because I went clothes shopping on Friday arvo and... I am now the proud owner of a pair of size 12 pants!! I think that the last time I was this size was when my jaw was wired shut! I did eat some more chocolate, but it was the dark one and I just can't eat as much of it! My brother brought me some chocolate covered coffee beans as well and as a result of eating too many of them yesterday, I ate very little for the rest of the day (maybe that then balances out ?

    Otherwise, all is well. The very cold spell seems to have passed for the moment, so it's a bit warmer. No work again, but going to pay for my course a bit later and should get all the stuff by next week and I'll then have something to do besides surf!

    Chat soon.

    Mwah
  • congrats on the weight loss and the new slimmer pants. cool. but unfortunately you gave the weight to me

    my eating is out of control at the moment. i felt wonderful when i first came back from holiday but now i feel pretty blah. not very motivated. i move in 4 weeks and i have to get my butt into gear and get packing and organising everything to do with the move. i have been procrastinating. i;ve been sitting outside reading books, drinking wine, playing with my website and adding online shopping to it and not doing the priority stuff. had to force myself to do the dishes tonight and didn't quite get thru them all.

    i will just have to snap myself out of it. there's no excuse for it. just have to give myself a whipping and get stuck in to do things. i know i will feel better once i get some things done.
  • With moving, I've found that I do it better the closer to the time it is! I'm also a super procrastinator, but that works for me! If it's close to the actual move, I can then just pack everything without having to think if I might need it at some point in the next x days or some such thing.

    As for the dishes, I tap the sink full of hot water, add the dishes and leave to soak for an hour or so. Then most of them are clean and you can just rinse them! I'm just a slacker-delux aren't I.

    I managed to get through to the Liscence department and I'm booked for the 18th July! Now I've got something to practise for and hopefully get it then and there and can start meeting all the cute guys from the internet!
  • Hiya girls, just feeling like poop the last few days! My company left yesterday morning and I was never happier to have someone leave(except the ex!!lol!)I threw my back out on Friday, have had a migraine since then also(from my wisdom teeth) and it's TOM!! When I don't feel well I go all out!lol!
    Today I'm calling the oral sergeon, setting up a appointment for a massage and buying Midol for the cramps so I'll fell a little better by the end of the day.
    Going to go buy some flowers to plant today, I've been stalling, just lazy I guess.I have to transplant my tiger lillies into full sun so they will bloom this year,I hope!And get a bunch for the containers(6).
    Have a great day/evening!!
  • Wendy - sorry to hear about the migraine/back/TOM! Nothing like having just one at a time! Hope you feel better by tomorrow and good luck with the gardening.
  • meg i'm all for slacking. i sometimes leave dishes to clean themselves too. next house has a dishwasher wahoooooo. will be good.

    i need to do some packing in advance or i will never get in done in time. when i moved to whangarei from auckland i was still packing when the truck arrived. i am NEVER doing that again. it takes a lot of energy so i am going to try and do some in advance even if it's not much

    oooooh exciting you now have a date to work towards for your license.

    wendy hope you feel better soon
  • Another day with little work. Started a new weights programme last night and am surprisingly not too sore today. We'll wait and see how tomorrow goes though! The weather has warmed up quite considerably for the moment and feels almost like summer (in the UK at least!). I'm off tomorrow so that I can go and pay for the licence thingy. Will be nice to get up a bit later!

    Good luck with the packing Sweet. Rather you than me, I did mine only a few months ago as well.

    Mwah
  • i absolutely loathe packing but it has to be done. i have been really procrastinating on everything this week. and i o/d'd on pizza tonight. it was really yummy and i kept eating even tho my tummy was bursting lol
  • Hey there,

    I'm back, but just checking in quickly as I've got work to do. Had a fab day off and even managed to take in a movie! Didn't stick to the diet, but didn't really eat that much, except for WAY too much sugar. Will have to watch that, as it seems to give me palpitations.

    Later
  • LOL i didn't know you'd gone anywhere meg glad you had a lovely day off. the sugar palpitations don't sound good. no idea what it means but i'd definitely make enquiries

    i did about 45 mins walking today. it was very slow and painful but glad i did it. am aiming to do 30 mins 6 days a walk with a combo of walking gardening dancing

    no packing done today. i've been lazy and demotivated. must get onto it. i keep thinking about it and that's as far as i get. need to get it done just in case something happens to hold me up at the last minute. need to pack a couple of boxes each day.

    argh dogs barking gotta go
  • Thanks Hey!! Nice to know that you take so much notice of me! I'm busy printing out plan after plan after plan! Pretty tired of it now and have still got 4 more sets to go! Argh!

    Got to go - have to search for payment certificates.

    Til tomorrow!
  • hehe i'm observant to a fault

    been reading a really witty author. the protagonist is a real smart mouth. it's making my laugh. by david rosenfelt

    nite
  • Urgh! Hex gave major probs yesterday (my computer) but seems to be a bit better today, although my drawing programme has hung itself again. (But is up and running again now.) Diet has crashed, but trying to be goodish now. Will probably not last, but with cold coming tomorrow, will be mainlining coffee and rusks! Must go, lots of plans to print etc.

    Have a good weekend and hope the packing starts happening!

    mwah
  • are you serious about the rusks? i haven't had them since i was a toddler. i wasn't even sure they still existed

    had a quiet day today. didn't do much but had a lot of visitors. unfortunatley they brought chocolate. oh well
  • I've just gone and raided an engineer's goodie drawer - got some biscuits (cookies). We're very big on rusks in this country. These ones are wholewheat and very good at their job (hope you get that one...) Am now just biding time til we can leave. Could do with some chocolate now myself...
