Jet Skiing woohoooo

Saturday:

As you can see below I am getting ready to get on the jet ski woohoooo... plus my new board shorts OMG I can get in to board shorts... I can I can.

In front of me is my friend Marina (who I go to coffee with) she is a fabulous friend. She is the one with the mansion (she calls a batch) but she makes everyone feel incredible... she treats you with respect and never says a bad thing about anyone. I really enjoy spending time with her and her family. Her husband David gets on really well with Jeremy too.

Had a fabulous day can you tell?

Below fabulous hubby.... squinting he he he but isn't he a cutie (ok I am biast he he).

Here is is telling me how fab the jet skiing was GRRRRR he got to go first GRRRRR I was pissed (in a nice way) it was one of my goals and he got to go first grrrr he he he.

Mind you he looks absolulty sexing on the red jet ski.

So these amazing machines are BLOODY expensive. I was inquisitive and asked how much they cost BLOODY hell around $20,000 each. Now I shouldn't have asked one of them costs more than my car ha ha ha.... and it is not that old at all.

Quinn and Dion below getting ready to go on a ride and totally excited.

Marina is telling me the ins and outs of how the jet ski works, and me looking at the huge jet ski and thinking WHAT THE HELL HAVE I GOT MYSELF IN TO. Especially when Jeremy and David were up behind us laughing at me.

Here I was pointing at them saying they needed to stop laughing. I had to get on the back of the jet ski and I said to them "great you guys are taking photos and laughing.. all I need to do now is stick my big arse in front of the camera and tip in to the water and it will be all a huge laugh for you guys" he he he

This is where I was laughing my head off and couldn't stop.

I was scared to get on the bloody thing ha ha LOL.

Ok the big arse is on the beast and now I am going to take off Farrrrrrrkkkkk.

Woohooo bloody woohoo this is fab and scary at the same time. I wanted to go faster but I was in the 5 knots zone and had to wait till I was past it.

Coming back in... I didn't want to get off! I didn't!!

Came back and took Quinn out. Jeremy took him out before me but he said he like it with me instead. We did turns and bumps but with Jeremy he didn't like it... woohooooo.

We then went back for a swim and dinner at Marina and Davids... they totally love entertaining. Jeremy and I are slack with it but have made a New Year's Resolution to entertain more... so we are going to have to have them over hmmm.

I was smiling and laughing so much I was scared that I would have bugs in my teeth when I got back.

Sunday:

Today was a nightmare.

I think I pulled a muscle in my neck from the jet skiing and so all night I couldn't sleep and Jeremy gave me a pain killer (that I had from my back) and it didn't go down well. So this morning I spent a lot of time on the toilet throwing it up and the afternoon was spent doing that too... not much went in my tummy until dinner and that has stayed down so that is good. I still have a really bad neck and still feeling under the weather but hey that is life and it will get better. I am feeling better now but not 100% but better.

Well Chris, Anne and Janene it looks like it is just you guys and me for the get together in October... We can have some fun wohooo

2 things I need you to know.

Two things I want to mention on the blog today

Number One

OMG one of my 101 things to do list has my all time thing I want to try and that is jet skiing...... and I get to do it tomorrow...Yes fellow bloggers TOMORROW woohoooo. My friend Marina phoned this morning and asked if I wanted to finally get out and do it blooodyyyyy hell... scared but excited at the same time. Something else to cross off my list.

I was supposed to be going to a BBQ at Kris's (for her daughters birthday party) and so I phoned and said that Corbin will still be there but I can't. I was a little naughty and I don't usually like doing this sort of thing but F it I am not going to hold my life because of her she has pushed me aside like a piece of rubbish enough times. (bitch I am... aren't I?).

Marina is the one that owns the mansion (which she calls the batch) ohhhhh so excited but scared at the same time.

Hopefully hubby will take photos. Their jetski is like worth more than my bloody car and I paid enough for that as it was he he.

I have been on track and been doing my exercise this week since coming back from camping.... I must say I am really proud of the fact that I only gained 100 grams on camp... really proud as I wasn't wonderful but I was careful so that makes a lot of difference.. This week I better lose that is all I have to say as I am trying my hardest.

Ok..

So for the Second thing..

Anyone interested in a bloggers camping get together in October (Labour weekend)? I thought it would be great to get together again but that it wouldn't have to be that it was at someones house and that way no one was having to do more than they should.... (I felt a little sorry for ChrisH last year with all of us there because wow can she entertain and it must have been a lot of work for her).

So what do you reckon?

9 months away so you have plenty of time to save (not that camping is that expensive anyway?) but if we are to do this then we all need to book it so that we are all in the same area of the camping ground so we can have a great party he he he. So if you have any suggestions as to where we could go then could you please email me at chubbymum@yahoo.co.nz and we can sort that out.

Been really good today: Went for a walk with the family this morning and decided that I would jog at the park for one half of it and then I jogged from one lamp post to another and then I jogged up a hill OMG up a hill... it was exhillerating I can tell you. Jeremy and I have taken a leave of absence from the gym for a month to see if we could still do enough excercise and not have to pay for the gym as it is a lot of money for us and any money saved is good this year. So we have a kickboxing set and a boxing bag, and I am going to get a rebounder, and we are thinking about getting some weights as well (so if anyone knows of anywhere where it is cheap but good please tell me) so that we can do it from home and we can go out for walks (as we don't have a treadmill) and this year isn't the year that we can afford to buy one with buying the caravan.

So Jeremy has done an exercise plan for this week that started last night and I must say I am sticking to it so far.... it has been fun (well it is only really one day let's see what it is like at the end of the week ha ha ha).

I am going to try and get back in to my digital scrapbooking as well because I have been seriously slacking in that arena since November 2007 and need to get back to the creative side of me.

Wow am I rambling on or what....

Look forward to hearing your opinions.

Doing so much....

Jan 3, 2007 at 5:50 PM

Doing so much but I can't seem to find the inclination to write in my blog.

I was a little upset the last couple of weeks that I have let myself eat whatever I wanted and not feeling the consequences.

When I went to WW on 19th December and I was 121.8 kilos (at home they said 122.7) and I am certainly not that anymore but I am not stressing too much but angry with myself. The scales on Monday 1st January 2007 my scales at home said 125.3 ARGGHHHH (124.4 WW would have said) and so that is 2.6 kilos gained.... ho hum but......

This morning after being really good since Monday I am now 123.7 kilos on my scales (122.8 on WW scales) and so I have gained 1 kilo by WW scales and I can handle that but I am still working on either staying the same or losing.

This year is going to be a good one for me!! I am not going to plateau this year like last year. Mind you I achieved so so so much last year and there were ups and downs but I think that has made me a better person.

I regret that I had to give up a friendship last year but I also think that after what she did with Daniel and Joy in causing strife that I didn't deserve a friend that will use things against me. And she wasn't a true friend and will never be happy in life and she will deserve that. It took me a while to realise that I had to find a place to have my blog and not to be known as CM anymore and to be free of her totally.

Be ready for my blog to be just as full on as last year as I have so many challenges this year that I want to conquer.

I really want to do something with my life and if that is studying then I am going to do it this year but mind you it is not going to come in between my weight loss and exercise as I am content with all that now and I am not giving that up for anyone. Yes I have given up Lean because of Kris but to be honest she was doing me a favour as I was getting a little stale in it and not trying other things and she will never get out of it what I have and she will never get out of it the friendships that I have.

Which reminds me Delwyn is coming over tonight (from Lean) she phoned me this morning and we went for a walk around the Lake (4 kilometres) and had a coffee afterwards and tonight we are going to play Canasta woohoooo going to beat her backside he he he he.

So this year guys we are going to achieve all that we wish whether it be weight loss or other achievements.. I know with friendships like yours I will achieve anything!

I have been printing my Digital Scrapbooking out in the last couple of days and finding out ways to bind them etc as I want my boys to be able to read them and show them to other people.
I feel so content at home with my boys these holidays and I feel so happy here at Vox. I have realised that having a simple blog like this one is the best because all the extras aren't needed as long as I get what I need down. I have ticked off a lot of my 101 things list and feeling really proud of that. I still have heaps and heaps to do but I am achieving things and that is the main thing.

I am doing more Digital Scrapbook pages lately too and that is making me happy, and will upload more in the next day. I love being creative and I am also glad that Kate is doing it too... anyone else want to join us?

Anyway I have spaghetti meatballs (homemade and low in fat) tonight woohooo and a game of Canasta... how better can life get aye.
Love ya all
CM

Hi there deary,
Great to see your back. I have been meaning to write you an e-mail and see how you are but have had very restricted computer access over the past week (been away) and prior to going away I had almost a week of misery with my wisdom teeth (op) causing me major grief. Anyway, roll on 2007, there's a whole new year just beginning and I know we all have it within us to make progress on our own personal goals (whatever they may be). I must get back into blogspot and start posting and blog reading again as I've really missed everyone.
Well I hope your year is off to a great start.
Take care
Lynise
