Better late than never

Oooppss! I forgot to blog last week.

Last week saw a 400g loss, not too shabby at least it isn’t a gain.


On Saturday we headed out to Hubby’s Grandparents house to say hello. After that we headed into Freo for lunch.
I have been to flipside before, they do the best burgers ever, and hubby has never been so I thought he would like to go
And boy was I right he loved it. I had parmesan, chicken and pear burger it was delish, I could only manage to eat half though.

Then I got a call from my mum saying to come over because my nephews were there, it was so great to see them, as I don’t get to see them a lot.
Every time I see them they are bigger and cuter.
Sunday was cleaning the house day; it feels great when everything is done. We actually hubby planted some plants up the back so it adds a bit more colour instead of
Just grass. I really must take a picture; I love our backyard atm. There are a few spots that I just don’t know what to do with but I really want something there other than grass
But I’m not sure what. I really should take some pictures. I will try this week.

On a lighter note!

Do you know what I have been doing all morning?

Well since you really want to know I have been pulling up my shorts, they keep falling down.
This is a good thing obviously, but a bit embarrassing when I nearly showed a teacher my backside lol.

Weigh In was this morning 1.1kg gone and never coming back YAY! I’m very happy with this.

Last night I was having a convo with hubby and he is always telling me he loves me the way I am, which is great. But when I’m trying to loose weight I find it off putting, I know that seems silly but hear me out.
I have told him how much I weigh he is the only person I have told and he doesn’t believe me he says I am lying to him. He just won’t believe me no matter how much I tell him it’s true. Which is sweet too, but I know I have got to loose weight, but he thinks I’m fine. I hope you don’t think I’m a whingeing cow it is just frustrating me. Can’t he see what I see?

Anyway at the end of the day this for me, I guess I should be grateful.

Work is still uncertain of what is happening, to be honest I’m just hanging out until May Long Service baby.

Good Times

So I weighed in on Thursday and I had lost 700grams. I am so pleased with that cos its TTOTM so it could have been more but a loss is a loss.

I woke up this morning and I just felt so positive about everything, YAY!

Last weekend I finally had time to sort out my wardrobe it has been over flowing for a while so I de cluttered and got rid of about a wheelie bin full some went to the salvos and some went to eBay!
Here are some pictures:

Birthday

I weighed in last week just forgot to post about it. I stayed the same which I was quite pleased with because it was my birthday and it ended up being quite a big weekend.
I was very spoiled for my birthday I received return ticket to Melbourne, a tiffany ring, an eiffel tower tiffany charm for my bracelet, a dress and a skirt, a vogue magazine subscription, mimco voucher.
We just went out for dinner and drinks at a pub up the road.

I am really looking forward to going to Melbourne in May. It will be nearly half way through the year and I normally need a break around then.

I weigh in tomorrow, although I have been pretty good eating and exercising wise, it was out first wedding anniversary and we did go out and indulge in a 15 course TAPA menu lol.
Most of it was seafood and salads, but the crème Brule was delish.

I can’t believe it’s been a year since we got married, it has just gone so fast.

A new start!

So I’m back again after I promised I will blog more often. Maybe I just won’t promise and see what will happen, even though I’m not too sure is anybody is actually reading J

Again I promised that I would keep my weight in check, hah that didn’t happen either! It actually went the other way and I put more on.

2009 is my year I have decided, no promise I just know this is my year.

I have had a good hard look at a few things, and I really am not happy with me and what I have let myself become. For ages I just kept thinking “oh yeah I’m fine the way I am” or “the scales say that much but I really don’t look that weight do I” well yes I do look that way and I have finally accepted it and decided to do something about it since our wedding in Jan 08 I have put on 12kgs. Some of that was from when I was overseas, some of it was because I have stuffed my knee and can’t exercise without it hurting but in the end it just kept getting higher and higher and I did nothing about it. My knee is starting to recover and I have started this week going on slow steady walks, although it is annoying going so slow at least I am doing something right, I wish I could be running that is my goal by June this year I will be running. So please knee be nice to me.

I have to admit that this is not the only reason I am starting this journey, yes I want to look and feel better inside and out but it also has a bit to with adding a little one to our family. We have been trying since September last year. And I know deep down that it is better for me to be healthy and it will hopefully help our chances of adding to our family.

My before picture – This was taken Last week.

Chilled

I’m sitting here eating my home made pumpkin and sweet potato soup. I have to rub it in, it’s my first time ever making soup and it is delish.
Thank god there were left overs so I could have it for lunch today. Last night I had my sister and her boyfriend over for dinner. They work in the mines and go back today so I thought I would make them dinner before they go back. My sister is a sweet heart and spoils me although I am the eldest ha ha. So she deserved a nice meal.
It all went well, and the food was enjoyed by all.

Had a pretty quiet weekend which was very nice for a change. I need to re charge for Melbourne. Watch the footy Saturday night and my team won YAY! Very excited go the Saints!

I wasn’t going to tell anyone this but hey I have a big mouth lol. I have actually started WW again, not officially but I’m counting points again. I just need to get back into a routine and plan our meals, this way it’s so much healthier and easier. I have already planned all this weeks meals and it feels great. I feel great and have only been doing it for 1 week.

We are going to go for a little walk tonight and play some tennis. YAY! to tennis.


Check out our picture in our bedroom don’t you just love it: It matches our room perfect.

Melbourne Here I Come

27 days until I am in Melbourne, my home away from home. Every time I go back I curse my mother for making us move to Perth.
Perth isn’t that bad but I feel so at home in Melbourne. Anyway I am very much looking forward to it. There are two reasons I am going
It’s my uncle’s 50th he always comes over to “our” events and plus he is my favourite uncle. The second reason is to see a very close friend
That I haven’t seen since January I miss her and can’t wait to catch up and see everything that she has been up to since we last saw each other.
And perhaps there may be a third reason…. Shopping!

August was crazy every single weekend we have been going out, something has been on and September seems to be shaping up the same. This weekend
We are having our housewarming party, very excited about this. Although I just haven’t had time to tidy the house Joel and I both work full time and work over an hour away from our house. So today tomorrow I am
Hoping to leave work a little early so I get prepared.

On the work front it has been thrown out there that I may be losing my job, as our department may be closing or moving on to somewhere else who might not want me. At first I was really worried but I weighed it all up and I’m due a nice little payout since I was due for long service leave next year in April so will be fine and all things happen for a reason, and maybe it’s time to go into something else.

On a small other note, that may be too much information. I have gone off the pill :)
