Woops

Tonight I had to take back a sports bra as I had brought the wrong size? It appears that it has already started................ the shrinkage factor. Its not fair, its too soon. Its one of the reasons I didn't mind putting on weight, the bustier me.

One the way home we decided to by food for dinner, I had been feeling like pasta and of course Dazza wanted his fav 'pizza'. so I'm sitting here now with my jean button undone typing this post. Its all bad news now. Although it was really yummy was it worth it. Hell yes :P


I've looked at the aerobic timetable and think Body Pump may be the order of the day however it does start at 8.30am, it might be a bit of an ask. After all it will be the first time in a while Dazza and I will be in bed at the same time, a novel idea.

I also will have my great niece and mother over tomorrow, Keira my great niece gives me a run for my money so that is a workout alone. Its little Miss Keira's birthday on Monday, the big 3. Its the first birthday that I won't be at so that's a bit sad, I am working my 1-9pm so will have to make up for it tomorrow. I will also have to get a 3 year old photo, I have attached her 1st birthday and 2nd birthday photo's, obviously with her 2nd birthday photo, she got into food before the photo's started so not the cleanest little girl.

Finally moved the scales

Today I have half heartily weighed myself for my weekly weigh in to find I have actually lost some weight. It appears that my healthy eating has done something. Maybe being on the later shift helps as well because when I get home at 9.30pm I'm only having a lite snack before bed, once I have my main meal break at work, then that's about it for food, except for maybe a piece of fruit, which is catered for at work. So if I can keep this up for the next 4 weeks, I hope that I will be under 80 kilos by the end of the challenge (the one I'm not on........)

I found myself stumped last night on my way home as I knew I had eaten all of the chicken for this weeks meals and had to think of something to make for lunch today, on day shift today, so stopped off at the supermarket and started to think what was healthy in there! Its funny that I deem most things in the supermarket as unhealthy, don't know where that has come from but anyway, back to the lunch menu. What to take, microwave food Yuk, tuna again, no........ , baked beans, urrrr no. I then selected some beef cubes, had Greek spices at home, some mountain bread, tzatziki, some salad from home and Bob's your uncle, this will be the beef kabab that I like and made. Watch the envy at work when they smell the meat heating up to go in my kebab.

I'm bored and tired

So I am currently at work, awaiting calls to come in, even though I really don't want them to come but I want the time to fly by.

I recently told Dazza that I want a 'breast enlargement', his normal reply is why, you don't need to do that, but this time he asked what size? Then he told his work mates and discussed sizes with them! I think a large C or standard D, (Kerryn you know what I look like so comments please :0). So Dazza also told me that he thinks Liposuction would be good too as if I removed the fat from my bum and thighs it would make my boobs look proportioned! So I think I will have to go and be 'measured and quoted', I did call and was told approximately $11,000. I think that's OK, lipo is added on to that but I really don't like the thought of the long, sharp instrument being jammed into my body. YUK

Something different in more ways than one

This week I decided to try something new for breakie. I had already been eating Weet-Bix for a couple of mornings for breakie but saw these and thought, healthy = multigrain = :) and to tell you the truth the first few mouth fulls was a little strange but definitely worth a try.

Today I was notified that I have an interview for a internal position at work. I am now in Sales/Service and the new role would be Customer Resolutions, you know the ones that are about to go or are with the Energy Ombudsman. I really don't know if I even want this role, spoke to my team manager about it and have decided to go anyway to get a feel for the people and the role. May even ask if I can spend a morning at the office to see what they do. I work out in the sticks (South Morang) and the new position would be in Melbourne City. As you may remember from my last sint in the city I spent a fortune and was only there for a week, imagine me there forever?????

Dazza tells me to go for it as its more money, he is all about the money but I think about the convenience of working 20 minutes from home verses train trip for an hour each way. I also think about the little time we have together now verses not being on shift work so never seeing each other. Now I can start at 1pm and finish at 9pm so we get to have have the morning together. Won't have that with the new job.............. I'm sure I will be able to find some more good verses bad, but for now I will have to concentrate on whether the role will suit me and my needs.

An update

Thought I would update you on my latest blood tests for glucose, cholesterol and thyroid tests that I had done for our adoption application. My glucose was 5.0, cholesterol 3.3 (perfect) and my thyroid function 'normal'. Now a little while ago I mentioned that the naturopath at the chemist told me to take what I can only describe as POISON to help with my thyroid as in his opinion I looked like crap, tired, stressed and that one eye protruded more than the other. Well mister, my thyroid function is NORMAL. So if I see this man again, one of his eyes will be protruding more! You might think that its normal because of the sea minerals he suggested but as I've written above, it was like drinking poison so therefore after 3 days it was no longer taken.

I can feel my stomach muscles

So after my trip to the gym yesterday I can actually feel my stomach muscles. Which is quite amazing considering that only about 10 minutes of the class included crunches and the rest step aerobics.

I didn't make it to the gym today but did take Demolition Dog for a walk and a throw of the frisbee. Actually I didn't take the frisbee but found something to improvise with. Not that Molly noticed it wasn't her normal frisbee and enjoyed the 1 on 1 time.

For those following the Dazza saga with his old job, well I had a disagreement with his previous employer today, he claims that Dazza is telling only lies............... mmmm what do we have to gain from that, what do they have to lose???? So I have forwarded the letters as previously advised to Work Cover and AMWU (union), we may not get any funds out of it but at least we have made it better for the employees still there and the one to come in the future.

mmmmmm I'm back again........

Well got myself all worked out for the rest of the week for my meal break at work since I am doing 1-9 this week. I arrived at work a little early so that I could catch up on being off last Thursday and Friday to find that I actually had today off. OK, so I didn't know, I looked a little silly turning up when not needing to :( however I was quite happy to come back home. I still have all of my food prepared for the week and am feeling the effects of getting up early to go to the gym. So may have to lie my head on a pillow soon. First I must take Demolition Dog out to play some frisbee. I really want to take her with me on the bike but scared she will possibly kill me. Tried to talk Dazza into doing it instead but he would prefer to buy a new skate board to take her as he can then jump off if need be.

Thanks Kristy for dropping by and giving me some encouragement.
Also a thank you to Liz and Kerryn for doing the same. Kerryn its funny that I didn't jump straight into my favorite food group, licorice and popcorn but have been behaving myself, for now anyway. I think now that I have done aerobics I should be able to have the licorice today.......
