Darn car!

So today after rushing around, getting food prepared, animals done and all the other things we all do, I go out to jump in the car but with the push of the button, she decides, nope, sorry I preferred to be locked. I play a cat and mouse game with the dam thing but decide, well its just gunna have to stay at home and I'll catch a train to the city since I had to go there this week for some computer stuff for work. I then think, best check the time table for Vline (the beauty of living close but still far enough away from Melbourne city Vline trains, 20 minutes, no stops and your there) however Vline and Melbourne throw a spanner in the works as well! We are going a new train line so all trains replaced with coaches! I don't think so. So I will have to catch the bus to the other station and then catch a normal train to the city, oh should only take me an hour and a half. So much for me laughing at the guys at work who were going to drive in. I'm thinking, great I have an ipod, a book and then I have some exercise all within 30 minutes. NOT.

====================================================

No sooner did I finish this post, but got a call from work to catch cab to work and then cab to city but I can't really afford to catch cabs around Melbourne. So hopefully I won't get my butt kicked when I get back to normal work on Monday. Its not like I planned this, I would actually prefer to be at work than sitting around waiting to catch a bus!

I've been naughty :-(

I have a confession to make.................. actually I could confess a few fopars but in general its take away. Since Friday night (which is the last time I was good) Dazza had pizza and I made the trip to Safeway to pick me a up a Weight Watchers pizza, then came Saturday, not much in the food thing, lunch was roasted veggie focaccia, dinner noodle box, of which I only ate about a quarter but had eaten along with Dazza a bag of prawn crackers! Sunday, didn't eat much until dinner, which became tomato based fettucini and garlic & cheese focaccia :-( and of course since Monday was a holiday (no work = no structure) and we cleaned the garage, didn't eat much again, accept for coffee, so dinner was fish and chips......................... I can't believe I ate SO much take away. For someone who is worried about spending money, I spent way too much this weekend. 2 trips to Mitre 10 Mega and goodbye to $200 + all that take away makes me a broke little girl.

I did no exercise this whole week end, dogs missed out except for some frisbee in the yard. I've been giving them 'human' food again which I know is bad for them and especially for 'catdog' as she is prone to obesity just like mum. She did however get on the table and start eating my Vita-Weats. I know this as they were on the floor when we got home from Noodle Box. I think she fell off the table because she couldn't jump for the night as she must have hurt her leg or back when falling but she was ok by morning when I thought I might have had to take her to the vet.

So getting back to me, since I've been bad, I weighed myself this morning!!!!!!!!!! I won't tell you what they said but I will have to do something good to make them go down by Friday and not up. So I had better get to it.

Tired girl today

I just don't understand why I am so fatigued? I really hardly do anything but boy, come the end of the day, I'm buggered. As per my food and exercise diary, food day was better than yesterday but not the best. Did exercise so will remain committed to the exercise plan, I have only 8 weeks left of the challenge and my plan is 6 weeks so surely I could stick to that????????

I have found it interesting that no one commented on my last blog but really not surprised as of course we all have our own opinions and no one likes to offend. Just remember I have contacts :-)

I have been put on a project at work for next week, playing with out accounts program, see if we can break it, so that will be a good break from the phones.

We have finally come to the conclusion that we will commence inter country adoption, expression of interest is in with out cheque for the education days so watch this space. It will end up being a long time before we receive allocation but at least we can get to the next stage of the 3 day ed classes. Boy might even have to start a new blog to trace our steps on that journey.

Well I'm done for tonight, read every ones blogs and am plum tuckered out. Nightie night and don't let the bed bugs bite.

YAH FAT TONY MOKBEL CAUGHT!

Thank God Tony Mokbel has been caught in Greece last night living his life of luxury whilst my cousin lives her life behind bars. I'm hoping that this may mean she could be released soon. I know allot of people will have allot of different views of Renate, yes she was stupid for getting mixed up with that family but can you really help who you fall in love with?? Renate and Milad have been together for at least the past 25 years, she is only a year younger than me which means that she was a teenager when first got with Milad, how was she to know what would eventually happen. I remember when we were younger, she was and is still no different to me. Could you imagine when approached by your husband and brother in-law, to put your home up as surety, not knowing everything that they were involved in, imagine saying NO, would she have been the next to be a victim of the 'gangland killings'? We all know now that Tony has not conscience, why would he care if she wasn't around for her kids, he didn't care that she was in jail now away from her kids.
I can't even imagine what she will say to Tony or even Milad when she gets a chance, once released where will she go, what will she do? Her poor mother is stuggling with cancer and is trying to hold it together, how do you make something like this up to your family that have supported you, through thick and thin, whether your fault or not. I just hope that she can put it behind her and that this does not define her as a person. I hope that people learn to not judge until they know her. She is a good person with a good heart.

We, your family love you Renate and believe in you.

I'm through it unscathed

Whats with the calve cramps at night whilst trying to sleep????????

Its Sunday and all is quite ................ that is of course except for MY BARKING DOGS! I tell you, they just bark for the dam fun of it. I must admit they haven't been for a walk in a couple of days and this is probably part of the reason for the barking and that Demolition dog is starting to rip up any paper she can get hold of in the house and the reason why she ripped up a outside cushion during the week. Bad is me for not walking them. But time and weather constraints have been an issue, although we do need the rain. And for this reason I have told the husband we need a treadmill for that I can put the puppies on when its raining (not to mention I really want it for me;-})

Well as I previously stated I went to work yesterday for my 7.5 hrs and now I will have Wednesday off just for me and my dogs, oh and Dazza wants me to go somewhere for him to. Saturdays are good at work because its generally really quite, I think I probably took 25 calls all day, but it gives you time to do things that you want to do. I found that there are quite a few people at work who would either like to do Body for Life, 12 week Body Blitz or just improve their life some how. We all seemed to be sitting together as well. So I have shared everything I have, recipes, plans, exercise and the like and they will all be starting. I have shared my blog address and they are on their ways. Get ready for some newbies on the forum as well as messages on blogs I would say.

I went to Kmart last night for some t-shirts for Dazza to airbrush and saw an exercise bike marked down to $60, didn't read the sticker as to why but it has played on my mind this morning and want to go back and get it today. I just hope its still there or I'll have to buy a new one which I think was only $169 anyway. Just have to drag Dazza out of bed with a false claim to be getting something for him so that we can take the ute. Gee I'm sneaky, but its good. :-P

Saturday ............... why did I?????????

Tomorrow, Saturday I will be doing overtime from 8.30am - 4.30pm however I get Wednesday off and also get paid for the day. How good is that. So I work tomorrow, get paid time and a half with meal money and get Wednesday off which is also paid. Nice work huh. Although that also means that I can't sleep in tomorrow which is what I always want to do but never actual do anyway. Went to my mum's for Adams birthday and had a little KFC, not a great deal and ended up washing all of the dishes, oh nearly ommited that I ate birthday cake. Oh well its once in a while and I'm feeling sorry for myself anyway, with Shelbs gone and TOM anyway. I'm about to jump into bed as I'm a tired vegemite tonight.

Today is a day of mixed emotions

I'll start with my sad stuff first.................. today is the anniversary of the death of my beloved Shelby, she died 12 months ago today from a brain tumor that we didn't even know she had. It was really quick as we awoke to her falling all over the place and thought maybe a stroke. Our worst fear wasn't the case when we got her to the vet as it wasn't a stroke but a brain tumor that they couldn't fix. We had to put Shelby to sleep with 2 hours of finding her like this. Shelby gave us unconditional love for nearly 16 years and is sorely missed. I think of her often and wish I could just pat her again or snuggle on the bed with her. She was my baby. We miss you Shelbs.

=============================================

Today is also my nephews 19th birthday so after work will have to go to mum's for dinner. He's a funny boy and has only invited his girlfriend and 2 mates, its funny because its still like a kids party where you choose whats for tea and invite a friend. No huge parties or going to nightclubs which is what most of us and a lot of young ones would do, but each to their own. Happy birthday Adam.

=========================================

And finally to me, I weighed myself this morning, which I do most morning I might add but today is weigh in day and I am done 500gms, so happy but not over the moon. Yesterday I weighed less but its TOM for me, which also i didn't realise until yesterday at work again no less. Thought whats happening here this cant be right, its only day 16 when in actaul fact it was day 27!!!!! So I think I would have weighed less today if it wasn't for that dam womens issues.
