Funny

It was a small town and the patrolman was making his evening rounds.
As he was checking a used car lot, he came upon?two little old ladies sitting in a used?car.
He stopped and asked them why they were sitting there in the car. Were they trying to steal it?
"Heavens no, we bought?it."
"Then why don't you drive it away."
We can't drive."
Then why did you buy it?"
"We were told that if we bought a Used car here we'd get screwed ...so we're just waiting.
?

Thanks

I just wanted to say thanks for the comments on the running and the links. I also let my fingers do the walking last night on the internet and came up with the C25K - Couch to 5k it even has a podcast of a guy telling you when to run and when to walk, so have downloaded to my ipod shuffle week one and I'll be off and running hopefully shortly. Dazza even piped in to say that I had better get him an ipod so that he can do it too! I may have my running partner after all. Although I know that won't last. I also keep having a recurring dream that I am weighed and I am at 66.1kg. One where I am weighing myself and another where I am on a ride and it goes through a weigh bridge of sorts, similar to those you pass on the highway for speed. hey maybe its my mind putting it out to the universe that I am that size and its going to bring it to me, I read that in The Secret the other day and thought, what a crock of sh*t, but maybe my mind has taken over................

Just a short update

Kristy has asked me about my 'RSI' and how its going so thought better to answer it here since maybe others could use the information.

Well Kristy, I still have the condition however not as bad, actually almost gone. I have been seeing an Osteopath as Kek had suggested and after the first visit I really felt a difference. However not all session have had the same result. Slowly but surely I am getting to the end of the soreness and will probably go back to full hours next week. The RTW officer also raised my desk at work so that my back is straighter, I have a 'Evoluent' mouse for my right hand but did the same as you are doing by using my left hand for mousing for a long time until my symptoms reduced in my right. All I can say is that you will need to rest it and that means not inflaming the tendons in your wrist so you may not be able to do weights with that hand. But again it would be better to see someone like an Osteopath and they will be able to walk you through the do and don'ts.

Hope this helps and that it gets better real soon. Thanks for all the info you have passed onto me also with the running :)

This will sound strange but

I've been day dreaming, sort of. I would really like to learn to jog/run but really do have trouble with the breathing/heaving thing, but even today when walking to the train station I could have just about broken out into a run. Sounds silly doesn't it? I think allot of my resistance to jogging/running is how silly I actually look. I sometimes think when I do give it a go that I'm just stupid as I just can't do it!

But watching the Biggest Loser tonight and hearing Alison say that once she had the weight back on (in sand bags in her backpack) that she felt all of her original emotions coming back. IE I can't do this, this is too hard, I'm just stupid, just give it up, you can't do it. I realised that these are things that I say to myself. But lately my mind has been playing tricks on me, making me think that I can do it and feeling like breaking into the run. I start to do it and then realise that 'what am I doing? you can't do this' and then I'm back to walking and eating chips.

I am my own worst enemy, I don't need others to make me feel bad, I do a great job of my own. I really don't have a great deal of friends and the one that I did have, have now slowly had kids and due to my lack of being able to have them, I have slowly drifted away from them without them noticing, therefore have a lack of friends or people to have like a running buddy to keep me on track. I am not one to be motivated by chats on the email to keep me in check as I can lie like the best of them, but don't know what else I can do. I will have to try and make a commitment to myself to try and run each night. I know all about the walk/run thing, try up to the light pole and walk a light pole but, after one night it's all out the window. God I wish I could do this!

Things

I have decided to give this food and exercise thing another go, I usually fail miserably at it but thought what the heck, what do I have to lose - except of course some weight.

Yesterday I cooked my lunch for the week, I know you will all be say, the same thing for the whole week, but yes this is true. It's not all that bad as I really like soup so here is a picture of the 'Creamy Chicken & Vegetable Soup' from my Symply Too Good To be True 5 cook book. It smelt a bit sweet when I was cooking it and thought that I was a little unsure but its fine.

I also went out and brought me some new Pink shoes and handbag to match. I think now I can wear my favorite colour- Black- and just mix it up with different accessories, I also brought red shoes but they are a picture for another day, still have to get me a red bag. Dazza thinks that I can just add colour by wearing 'colourful socks' with my outfits. Hhhhmmmmmmm there is a reason why men don't buy their own clothes????


So now for the big reveal of weight - don't you like how I have tucked it away where no one should see it? 90.5 kilo's this morning. That's after 1 coffee and being 'that time of the month'. Hopefully there is only 1 way from here and that's down not up.

Funny you should ask................

Its been a bit of a funny week for me, coming to the realisation that I really don't have that much time left for me to continue on my baby making dream. The one thing I do know for sure is that I need to be at my best, health and fitness wise if it is ever to work. I know I hear allot of 'it's OK about being big, I've known heaps for women who are bigger than you that fall pregnant easy', the fact is I am not one of these women. I am the only one in control of my future. I am going to do training for infant adoption but I CAN NOT give up the hope that I can have my own baby. So the plan for me is to do as much exercise that I can possibly manage with the ailments that I have and not create anymore.

So far I have locked the dogs (also known as my babies) from our room at night so that I can get a restful night sleep. It also appears to my Osteo that some of my issue with my wrist may be the way I have been sleeping since I have had to share the bed with the babies and I am vying for room. I am known to sleep with my hands above my head and sometimes under my head. Girls got to put them somewhere and there is nowhere on the actual bed. the osteo believes I could be causing some stress to my wrist by twisting it and putting pressure on it over night. As it is always sore first thing in the morning. So far so good except when you don't except that you have limitations and try to pour 8 kilos of dog food into a container using 1 hand, the sore one! OK may have been stupid and I may have to go back to the Osteo before my 3 week appointment to have the ligaments put back to where they should be but hey, someones got to do it right?

I must admit I had a melt down with Dazza the other week and set up some ground rules for the house and so far my plan is working. I told him that I can not do all this on my own, I need help, so the rules are like this:

1. If I cook, he washes the dishes - that's every night
2. I do the washing and ironing, therefore he must sweep, vacuum (3 times a week) and wash the floor (once a week)
3. He must clean the bathroom sink after using it - I clean the rest of the bathroom
4. He wanted the new fur baby, he is to feed all the dogs, morning and night
5. I feed the cats - morning and night
6. He takes the bins out - when I tell him - otherwise no bins out because he forgets!

This is it so far, but he is letting me add to it all the time. it actually looks Dazza heavy but I don't mind.

I have been going through my 'To Good To Be True' cook books and think that I really need to be making a plan. Money all of a sudden is tight again but I'm not letting it faze me. It's funny my star's advised that 'Credit cards are not free money, you do know this, don't you?' I find it really funny because in the past I used to think of it as free money hence why we have always been in bad debt. At the moment we do not have any credit cards but we are still paying them off.

Dazza is going to go for a new job AGAIN, but this one he thinks he really wants. It will be a supervisor role, they repair Connex trams, but the training is in Germany. He first said that he had found a really good job but I wouldn't let him apply because he would have to go to Germany for training for 2 weeks. I told him I don't know why he would think that I wouldn't let him go, it would be a great chance to visit Germany, a country that we would never go on holidays. So he called the company and they seemed impressed, he was to send over his CV, which I did for him and they are still impressed. He will meet with them later this week so fingers crossed. Oh the only bad news for me is that he has now found out that the training will go for 6-8 weeks in Germany! For those who know me, this is disastrous for me as I can't sleep when he is not here. Last time it was when he worked nights, imagine how I will be with him out of the country!

Anywho, it's off to check on the banana cake in the oven.

Updated post: Banana cake yummy but..............................

I forgot to tell this story that happened yesterday.

I went to the laundromat early to clean my king size doona and on the way back noticed that our church and primary school had crime scene tape around it with 2 white vans backed up into the primary school yard. I thought straight away that someone had maybe topped themselves but later found out in the Tattslotto agency from the young girl working there (her father is fire brigade) that someone had planted a LIVE bomb in the church to go off today Sunday. The 2 white vans where the bomb squad disarming it. She knew because her father was called to the scene as a firey. It is ridiculous as I was considering going back to church this Saturday night. Do you think someone is trying to tell me something? Dazza wants to know who plants a bomb in a Catholic church? Obviously someone who is not Catholic or has a huge grudge against more than 1 person. Thankfully it was disarmed and no one ha heard about it at all.
