The dogs and cats got to bath me!

Today was a bit of a lazy day so thought I would finally try and groom my cat Angel. Normally I would take her to the ve and they do it while she is up out to sleep for about $110. So Daz said, you can do that, you have the clippers, why not have a go. 'Sure' I say, silently shitting myself. So he holds while I try to shave. I was trying not to have to shave her right back but you try shaving a pussy thats not really into it! So we ended up doing it in stages so that she could have a break. The end results not too bad but she's a bit dodgie. So as if I haven't put her through enough today. I decided to bath all of the precious little darling, (she says with clenched teeth). First was Molly, the super molter, then Becky, then Angel and finally Legend and I didn't even endup bloody and scratched to the wahzoo. However I am a bit wet, which is an understatement.

Now for the grooming and brushing and the cleaning up of hair everywhere.

I got some new one's ;-}

So after bitching today about not having any runners I have been able to pick myself up a cheap pair which will do me for a while. Yah for me!

Well there goes the challenge

So I haven't been able to admit yet, or until today anyway, that my challenge appears to be over :-(
On Monday my darling dog Molly decided that runner sandwich was the way to go and there went my LAST pair of runners. You may think 'why has she typed LAST for' well I actually had 2 pairs but she ate my first pair some time back! I know I should have known better than to leave them on the floor, like shoes belong on the floor people, but she had been soo good lately not chewing up peoples shoes that I thought we were finally safe. Or at least I was. I know that I can do weights but then I have no cardio at all until I can afford new runners.

Actually a thought just crossed my mind. Cardio could be at the pool! So maybe its not over yet :-) I will have to check out the water aerobics classes at the to pools cause I can't swim laps tosave my life and with shift work its a bit hard to fit in with swimming lessons.

Ok so not all is lost :-)

Out go the scales

So I have decided not to weigh myself any longer! I will no longer be a slave to the digital.

I seem to be addicted to the bathroom scales but I don't seem to be able to get rid of them. Every week my mother comes over and weighs herself and refuses to take them home with her but expects me to keep them at my house. Would she expect if I was a drunk to keep booze at my house for her to have a drink on a Saturday??? I don't think so. But these scales are my addiction. I tell myself, don't do it today but like a little dirty secret, I jump on them behind closed doors before my shower. I kick myself everyday if I don't see a change.......... imagine my horror when they increase, even by a 100grams.

So I am going to enlist my husband Daz to take the battery out and hide it. Even if I beg and plead, he is not to give it back to me. I know I'm too lazy to buy another one so that should solve my problem............ for now.

Ponderings........

I was thinking back over my week that was, the pain, the misery, the illness and thought, you know what. I behaved myself. Even when we had our surprise visitors from Queensland, when the boys tucked down to pizza, I came home with a chicken salad cause I knew that they would want takeaway. I must admit I didn't eat much at all over those 3 days of illness but I did have a bad thing. On Thursday night I had ................... chicken and chips :-( well the chips anyway. I thought that even if I didn't feel like anything, the trusty old appetite would come back with an old friend, chicken and chips, but not really, she didn't show her head, so didn't manage to eat much at all. So I guess if chips are the most staple part of a 3 day diet, its not done too much to my goal in the end. Yesterday only managed half of a focaccia with roasted veggies that I shared with mum and a same orange juice for lunch and I made chicken burgers (home made with my own hands) for dinner.

Exercise has been definitely down, actually not at all, I haven't felt like I have the strength, when sweeping the floor I got a sweat up so I will have to start back doing something. I haven't really been drinking to much either so water intake is down too. I wouldn't think that I have down much in weight loss this week at all. So bring on next week and hoping for the best.

Today is a new day

So today I have awoken a new person. I feel like I am about back to normal, the busting to use the loo because of fluid, not to evacuate :-}, I know TMI!

So will start out with a walk I think, seeing as yesterday, just sweeping the floor brought on a sweat. So today is a new day, time to start the washing and the cleaning and the groceries and the ironing and the dishes ............... maybe I'm not as well as I thought cause that all sounds too hard, best I go watch tv first ;-}

ohhhhhhh what happened????

So after my driving to the pool, doing my exercise as prescribed, I had a very restless night, my stomach goaned and grumbled all night. I awoke in the morning feeling less that productive. Besides from my legs feeling like lead I couldn't get started, the thought of food just wasn't in my brain. I feed my animals as per normal and thought I should sit down with my coffee for half an hour before I got ready for work. Thats when it went to hell. Lets just say, again the toliet was not my friend due to the soreness in my legs and butt but it was over taken from the 'need' to "evacuate" constantly, about 7 times in an hour! Due the visitors in the next room I was really scared of waking them and haveing to entertain at 7am so reluctantly flushed the toliet. Like I had a choice anyway.................... unless I wanted to kill someone with the smell.

So today I have remained again in my pj's on the couch, vomited in the shower and have had diarrhea again, maybe I'll lose some weight that way cause I haven't been able to exercise and food, don't even think about it. I have had 2 pieces on multigrain toast today so that I could take my magic little pill but thats as far as it goes. I have to go to the doctors today so hopefully this will be the end of the misery.
