I think that will work.

Blog Opening

Well just thought I would let those know that follow my blog that I have also opened and been utilising my other blog "Journey to Success". I was going to secretly do it but have since been having lots of fun writing on it more than this one. Hence my lack of posting.

A Special Occasion

Well I am off to Canberra tomorrow on a spontanious trip to surprise my Mum for her birthday on Saturday along with the other 2 people we know who also share the same day.

So if I can get on to posting whilst I am down there I will be sure to post something but if not I will be back in action by Monday or Tuesday.

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and the scales are on the down for everyone.

Well just had to post again, cause it keeps my mind thinking about what I should be doing and not doing. I was just doing the kids dinner, cheese on toast and was wondering why I had this real overwhelming sense of I NEED SUGAR....

1. not enough water today,
2. I forgot to eat afternoon tea - shit...

Question for anyone - does this mean that my body is going into Ketosis?????

So grabbed an apple (omg it tasted sooooo yummy) and ate that cause it is now tooo late to have afternoon tea so close to dinner and proceeded to make a bowl of low kj jelly cause I think this may lead to getting a fang for sugars after dinner. And yeah I was standing there slicing the block of cheese for the toast and oooopppssss a few little chunks went into my mouth. Oh crap I was munging on a bit and realised what I was doing. I am not going to strap myself for it but thought i would sit here blogging it. Being accountable.... I think I probably had a full slice all up, which is not on the menu and is the foods I think I should be staying away from. So mistake one for the week. But on the good side of it, I served it up to the kids - drooling a little at the way it looked and smelled and walked away to where I sit now typing away.

Note to mental self - I need to be conscious of all that goes in my mouth instead of running on auto pilot whilst in the kitchen.

Day 2 - going to plan today, and food well I think I may get addicted to eating the right foods again. I know its only 2 days in but I feel better having the food in my body. My 2 younger sons are loving it too, they hover like flies while I eat the oat pancakes and I generally get around half of what I make because they are sooooooo asking MORE MORE MORE mummy. THey love it, which is a good thing. My little boy Cj absoloutley loves all the other food I am eating too, sharing it when he can pull the most cheekish head cocked look and I cave and let him share it with me. So looks like I will have to start making extras. Will have to give Keks recipe a go with the apple pancake, I think that would soon become a favourite and possible a quick and easy dessert for them.

Kerry, glad you enjoyed your weekend, my body aches just thinking about all the things you did.

Anyways hope you all have a really great day and till next time.... Tootlepip

Blog Addicted Again

Well I have been very addicted to blogging today. Being the start of my journey to slimmer me today I have been searching and blogging. Great to catch up with everyone and all that is happening around the place.

So I had a quote for the week being my week 1 adventure. ACCOUNTABILITY is my key for this week and I am being literal in that. Documenting everything I eat and do. Whoo hoo, finally managed to realise how I cheated myself out last 2 programs. Not intentionally but subconciously. My photos werent done right and my eating wasnt documented correctly. So what a challenge it was doing the photos. CRAP I look friggen huge. I have never stuck my gut out like that ever, well allowed it to rest that is, I generally hold it in that it has become second nature to hold it there. So no pics are going up for anyone until I feel a little bit more comfortable and accountable.

So that is me in a nutshell for today, all went well, I achieved a CLEAN day of eating and a sense of well being and achievement.

Bye ;-)

Sunday sunday sunday. Oh how I am dreading the next 2 weeks of school holidays. NSW seems to be last on the line for holidays this time round. So another hair pulling 2 weeks with a house full of kids from all places. What to do, hhhmmm not a lot I must say.

Well I decided that I should get on and post on my blog seen as though I am a all talk no action kind of gal. Every time I put my "I;m gonna do this and that", I fall way off the mark and stop. How stupid I say. Still trying to figure it out actually why I do that. Any ideas anyone??

So - things have been pretty slow up here, finding it hard to deal with alot of things at the moment. 1 being hubby still trying to find work. Arrgghh it is really hard not having a regular income other than the government and let me tell you, IT SUCKS severely. I didn't in my wildest dreams think i would get stuck in the rut of looking for work that can be a life saving income. So in saying all that, I ha vent been able to do all the things I wanted to such as be a regular part of the Tony Ferguson program. Out the window that went and the terrible thing was, I really liked the shakes, they tasted absolutely fantastic and fill the spot. So back to square one and trying to make the changes I need to get back into some sort of reality of a routine.

Frankie, my hands applaud you for having the MOTIVATION and the DRIVE to getting out into your gym ALL THE TIME. I really don't know how you do it but you are absolutely fab for doing it. I have a gym on the deck that I see everyday right there if you know what I mean, but jesus I just cant get myself out on it. Too many distractions and it is a real oh well I need to do this and that. So I haven't done anything but 1 workout on it and guess what? Its rusting up. Oooops. Salt air getting to it more than me LOL.... So I have been tooing and frowing for the past few weeks how to get myself into something and motivated, so did join the gym down the road. $10 a week for as many times as I like so not too hard on the purse strings. Very very excited about it and it has made me realise how much I missed it when I moved. I feel a little bit more worthy of myself now that I have to physically go and mingle with other people and do things. I only joined last Tuesday but have been sussing the place out. Have done 2 Pilate's sessions and half hour on the tready and elliptical trainer. Oh so good feeling sore I must say. The only sad part of it all is the gym is sooooo old, the machines are old and they make you work harder cause they don't move as swiftly as what I am used to. They have limited weight machines there, and I am still trying to figure out how many of them I can use that were on my previous programs. The free weights area is down stairs into what was know as the "MANS ROOM". Women - what women, none of them use it. Apparently they have been trying to get women down there for the past 18months and no-one is interested. Hhhmm apparently the walls were lined with lady pics, nudey ones I am suspecting and well they pulled them all down cause I think their were some complaints but it still hasn't helped any. God, as I said to the owner, you would think it would be some what of an inspiration actually to see all the pics up there. But anyway, that's their choice I suppose. So as soon as I crack the 80kg mark I think I might brave it down there and start some weighty workouts again.

Still kinda shit on the diet front, this IS MY PROBLEM to all of my issues. I don't eat enough and what I do eat isn't anything special but does nothing for the body or my weight. Smoking still so it too isn't helping. Arrgghh another angle to tackle soon though. So I am not saying I am doing this or that or show my plans at the moment until I get into a routine and can be proud of the routine and have something to report. Just thought I would try this angle and see if I can push myself to be an ACHIEVER.

Hope to get on all your blogs soon and post some comments too, I have LOTS to catch up on.
