Have had verbal diareha he he

Ok so lately I have had verbal diareha but I suppose it is better than not posting at all.

So....

On the exercise talk....

I have been trying my hardest to do some exercise even though it is the silly season.

Saturday: 4 km (around the lake)

Sunday: 3.3km (around the block)

Monday: Gym

Went to the gym and worked so hard that I felt like throwing up. Ran on the treadmill at 1 minute 30 seconds each time OMG I have gone from 30 second run minute off to 1 1/2 minute run... felt very proud. Did my weights and extra rep of situps 80 situps woohoo, 5 minutes on the rower and J and I did punching on the kickboxing pads woohooo... felt fantastic but sick in the tummy oh well.

Going to get dressed now as we are taking a drive to Te Awamutu for morning tea.

Little sad also today it is my Dad's birthday and if he were here he would have been celebrating and spending time with my boys... life is unfair sometimes.

Doodling

Paget seems better today but we still haven't received the results from the Vet yet so who knows what is going to happen. He is cuddling up with us and being a little bit more normal than he was a day a go so I will keep you all posted.

So I have been using my drawing tablet to do some tutuing in the last day... been really busy or I would have done more... he he he so here it is. It is hard to get used to drawing on the side and it turning up on the screen instead of where I am drawing.So today we got up and said to ourselves that we have to get back in to it. I did take a sneaky peak at the scales because I know I have gained but didn't know how much... and it wasn't as bad as I thought but it wasn't good either but that is fine as long as Saturday is the start of my tracking and gettting back in to it.

So we got us (as I was saying he he he) and we went to the gym and I ran my big backside off on the treadmill and also did the rower and sit ups and arms... felt good at the time but feeling buggered now he he he. We are also going tomorrow morning as well... gotta do this!! Want to be my hubby's weight by at least my birthday and he is 103 kilos... (assuming I will be around 119.9 he he kilos) then I have about 17 kilos to go.... that is 500 grams a week I have to lose to get there... that is doable... if I stick to the plan and track..

So by Xmas next year I will be under 100 kilos... it has to happen.

Love ya all

OHHHH and finished my MIL clock so will take some photos and post it... sooo much fun being creative.. Also started my Art Journal too... it is sooo way out and isn't pretty but it feels great.

Full on!!!

Woke up this morning with Jeremy in the shower and Quinn was up in the bed hugging me... it was so nice.. I treasure these moments because it gets to the stage where one day they won't want to know you and so I am treasuring those moments like anything.

Finished the gym's wine bottle labels Tuesday night and gave them to the owner on Wednesday night so should be getting the money today woohoooooo.... he was happy with them so I was pleased.

I am still getting compliments from people at school that saw the clock OMG I didn't think it would bring on so much drama he he he... quite liking it really. Corbin's teacher came up to me this morning and handed me a present... I looked at her all puzzled and said "why??" and she said said because you have helped me out all year and came in to do things and you also did those wonderful scrapbook pages to give to the kids today and it was amazing so thank you" Wow I had a tear coming down my cheek as I didn't expect it because I did it because it was my son's class and because I love helping him out.... and I only came in to help about 3 times where I went in every week religiously to Quinn's class for spelling and she didn't even thank me and that woud have been the only thing I would have wanted.

Well we find out at 12.30 what class they will be in next year ARGGHHHHHH so I hope that it is going to be a nice teacher and students next year... Corbin's best friends mum Ange (who comes to our coffees sometimes) said to me "you better be here this avo as I want to know where Corbin is going to be in regards to Cathan which is sooo nice and means that she is happy for them both to be in the same class and friends... which also makes me feel good that the mum loves my son wohoooo... I know as his mum he is fabulous but having another mum expressing that she likes my son with hers is a nice thing.

My mother in law came to the school yesterday afternoon as well as my mum to see Corbin's class do a dance for us all it was sooo cute and it was nice to have my MIL come too as she is a High School teacher so can't get in to the school... Corbin was sooo proud to do the dance in front of them.

OHHHHHH and she came over on Tuesday night after phoning to see if Jeremy was there and when she got here she said to Jeremy can you please back my car in to your garage....???? so I took my car out of the garage and when he backed the car in the garage she said she needed help to take his present out of the car WTF....what the hell could it be OMG OMG OMG she brought him a 6 burner BBQ with a lid and a roaster bloody hell and it was all in two boxes so he has to put it together but that is ok as he loves putting things together BLOODY HELL I just couldn't believe it. We were so lucky.. because she doesn't usually buy expensive gifts... and ON TOP OF THAT she brought a present for me to go under the tree. OMG I would have been happy with just the share in the BBQ he he he.

Been out doing the last of my little shopping... I had finished but wasn't happy with what I had gotten for my father in law etc so I got some little things to go with it.

I have been trying my hardest to get to the computer and update every day but have just not managed it...

OH and BTW I am on holiday woohoooooooo.... no work till 7th January OMG that is bloody fantastic..

FANBLOODYTASTIC...

Diet has been ok this week... not wonderful but I have been to the gym twice this week and I am going tomorrow morning as mum is looking after the boys so that will be good.

Anyway better get my backside ready to pick up the boys...

BYEEE

Chubbymum

Update:::

Picked up the boys and when I was in Corbin's class his teacher Miss Lauren Murphy was telling them how great they were and that they could achieve anything they put their minds too and that she thought they were all the nicest, brightest kids she has ever had and it was a previledge etc OMG and then in front of all the parent she handed out the scrapbook pages to the class (all laminated OMG) and said that Corbin's mum made them and all the parents went oohhhh and ahhhh OMG. The last straw (that made me want to cry) was that Corbin had made a book (spiral bound) that he had made an autobiography and then at the end he dedicated it to his Mum OMG I had tears and one of the parents were looking over my shoulder and smiled soooo cool that was the best thing ever.

Then went to pick up Quinn from his class (after leaving Corbin's class with all the parents still there talking to the teacher etc) to an empty class with only Quinn and one other kid there and no parents or kids... it was a sad thing and all she said was Goodbye Quinn and that was it... we walked out and said have a good Xmas but what a difference I mean.... wow how does someone become a Head of a department and not have a personality or conversation skills... it is beyond me.

So as usual all the parents milled around outside to see what class everyone else's child was going to..

Corbin's best friend is in a different class next year (he has been with Corbin for 3 years now) so that was weird.... but I think it will be good as Corbin needs to make some new friends as it is good to have lots I reckon.

Corbin has Lisa Smith and Quinn has Paula Schiwikkard (I am putting this down because it is a record for me for my kids when they get older... he he). I have been told that Corbin's teacher is the head teacher for year 4 and that she is strict but a great teacher and that Quinn's teacher is Paula Schiwikkard and she is South African and is the kindest caring lady OMG THAT IS SOOOOOO great as he needs a teacher that is caring and supportive as he achieves more with teachers like that.

Ok so after that we went to my friends Cherryls for a get together with the avo tea girls this year he he he and sat around and had cake (he he he) and drinks while the kids were in the pool and trampoline it was a great afternoon.... nice friends, kids happy and one of the dads was there too and he is really nice to get on with and it was his birthday so we laughed the whole afternoon.

Finished two brag books full of my scrapbook pages for my mother in law and my father inlaw and step mother in law tonight OMG glad that is done as I am tired... and went to bed at midnight arghhhhh.

Post every day.

Went to the gym last night and did my new program OMG I am sore today. The new program pushes my limits... I have to go hard out until I fail... it isn't like I do 3 x 15 or anything and man it is hard. But... the weird thing was my scales were soooo down this morning and that is sooo weird but I felt good with this program.

The only thing that I wasn't too happy about was that I have to do the rower first and I am not warmed up and it felt really really horrible to do it without being warmed up and especially for 15 minutes on the darn thing he he.

I promised I would post every day but last night I got way laid with all the things I needed to catch up on but I am still managing to tell about the day so that isn't too bad.

I think I am catching a bloody cold because I have had headaches and blocked sinuses and now a sore throat... but that is not going to beat me... I am going to lose this weight and I am not going to feel sorry for myself... I am trying sooo hard to be positive and I am chanting postive things when I can feel that my mind is wandering.

I keep picturing this lady that I saw in the weekend from WW and how fantastic she looks and I suppose that is keeping me going as well this week.

Only 3 more working days for me and then I am off from next Wed at 2.30 woohooooooo I just cannot bloody wait.

Corbin took some Xmas cards in today to school and for Ashley's one he put a candy cane in it awwwww how sweet (even though she is Kris's daughter she is a nice little girl) and Corbin blushed when I said "So why does she get a candy cane and the others don't" he he he it was just tooo cute.

Oh Well....

Might update later on what I have done today

The Secret

Reading the book The Secret and I know this subject has been brought up by bloggers before and there were people that didn't believe... I don't want to hear if you don't believe ok!!! Just thought I would say that before I write this.

I am going to lose this weight and I am trying to be positive. I have a tendancy to be negative and I know that but I am truly finding it hard to lose this weight. It might seem like I have done well this year but since January 2007 I have lost a total of 3.7 kilos FUCK that isn't enough... it is better than gaining.. it so is better than gaining but I WILL DO BETTER and I could have done better.

I haven't finished reading the book as yet but the first couple of chapters certainly has made me think. I am going to start being more positive and I am going to lose this weight!! I have to keep this positive attitude up.

I want to get out of the 120's and stay there. I gained this week and I tracked and I don't understand why I really don't. Lyn has said that maybe because of the exercise and I haven't used enough points and my body is going in to starve mode or I have not calculated my points right. I am using 123 points but she seems to think I should be on 125?? hmmm not sure about the 125 but I am going to do 124 and I have a plan with hubby that I am allowed 14 points a week of exercise points so I am allowed 2 points extra a day. So... if I get over the 7,500 steps I am allowed 1 point and if I go over that and I also go to the gym or do some form of exercise that I sweat in then I am allowed the other point for the day.

I am making a plan to get this weight off and not a plan to fail. I am the weirdest person because I track and don't lose and I go a form of exercise everyday and don't lose and I don't like challenges because I go in to reverse so now I have to keep focussed and get the weight off.

I am going to do this for me!!!

I am going to keep at it because I am not a quitter!!!

By the end of January I am going to be in the 115's I AM!!!! This IS going to happen!! This IS!!

...................................................................................................................................

Saturday

Woke up early and went for a bike ride with the boys and we rode 10.5 kms and it was great. We went from home all around the place and up and down hills (not like the Wellington ones he he he I live in Hamilton) and it was a beautiful hot day but it was enjoyable.

Got home and had lunch and then I cleaned up my study because I wanted hubby to make me some scrapbook paper shelve block... then we went to Mitre 10 Mega and brought the building materials and it ws $90 but I get 3 big lots out of that. 2 Blocks with 19 shelves and 1 Block with 10 shelves on it..... So cool. Was looking on the internet and 1 Block with 10 shelves cost about $50 online so I think we did really well.

Since my study was clean I managed to make some cards yesterday and hubby started on my blocks yayyyyyy.

Sunday

Made an appointment to get a new program at the gym this morning with a new trainer so we had to be there at 9am this morning. I don't like him but I am not supposed to like him I suppose. I don't know if you have ever met a guy that has small man syndrome but he certainly has it. He has all the upper body look and is a well shaped man and knows what he is talking about but he has no empathy and I don't know if he listens or that he thinks he is better than us.

I also felt that he was thinking Yeah you lost 40 kilos yeah right sort of attitude.

He said to us in no certain terms he doesn't like Weight Watchers and it is a waste of time blah blah... but he does make sense with the exercise and I think even though I have been sweating my backside off at the gym I don't up my weights fast enough because I get comfortable and I have to stop it... so he gave us a routine that was simple but upped the weights and really is giving it to us. We had a program done that we could do at the same time since we keep together at the gym but with our own weights etc.

He said that I have to run more on the treadmill because I have to up my cardio and get sweating... tell ya I wouldn't like to have him as a Personal Trainer one on one every week that is for sure... I would hate it and not want to go.

But hubby and I are going to go all out and go for it!!! This exercise this week is going to happen.

The tracking is going to keep on.

Then hubby and I went shopping for new sneakers for him as Rebel Sports was having a half price sale on the sneakers he likes and we finished the last of the presents woohoooooo.

While in Whitcoulls I had this lady come up to me and she said "Wow you are looking fantastic!! you are Mandy aren't you?" I said yes but to be honest I couldn't work out who the hell it was. But then worked it out. She was a lady at Weight Watchers that was inspired by my loss and also by how I have stuck to it. I looked at her and said "Bloody hell you look fantastic!! how much have you lost" she said "28.5 kilos" Wow she looked fantastic.

We got to talking and asked if I would come back. I said to be honest I don't want to go back with Debbie there as I would end up hating her and I don't want to do that and also it is just too expensive for me to keep going. She said that Debbie isn't going anymore and they are all happy about it because she was getting negative (OMG like I am not negative at the moment well was anyway). Kept on me to get back with them and lets lose this weight. I was tempted and saddened because I would love to go back for the companionship but I just can't justify the money spent when I know I could do it at home.... if I stick to it.

The meeting with this lady really hit a cord!!

I have to get through this one week! Then I am going to aim for the next week.

Love Chubbymum

Weigh In Results

..............................................................

Weight last week: 119.9

Weight loss this week: 119.3 kgs

Loss/Gain: Loss 600 grams

Total loss from WW: 35.4 kgs

Total loss from start: 40.7 kgs

..............................................................

Ok... I am happy that I lost 600 grams but I thought it would be more. I really thought I did better this week and it wasn't what I thought I should have lost. I understood my gain last week because of my monthly etc... I don't know little sad.

But that is fine I am going to get off my backside and get more off this week.. I don't want to yoyo anymore!!! I don't... getting really upset about it.

Got up and went to the gym this morning with hubby at 8.30am

Did the following:

1. Managed to do Went to the gym today. Ran on the treadmill for 1 minute 30 seconds at a time. Increased it by 30 seconds x 3. So happy with that.



2. Worked on my arms and thighs and spent a lot of time with heavier weights



3. Did some thigh crunchers on the inside and the outside of the thighs... made the mistake to go on the spin bike afterwards arghhhhhhh.



4. Went on the spin bike 30 seconds up 30 seconds down for 5 minutes. Great workout. Going again tomorrow. I have to get back in to my exercise

When I look at this it doesn't look like much but I worked me butt off and I sweated a lot too so that is great.

Came home had breakfast and then went up and thoroughly did over our bedroom and ensuite and got rid of a lot of stuff and cleaned and the kids helped too.

Pam and Brianna came over for lunch and we ate outside and then came in and made Xmas cards... it was fun. We went from 2 till 6 pm making cards OMG it went so fast we didn't realise the time. Now sitting here while hubby makes dinner... yummmmy.

It is our date night tonight so we are going out for a coffee and maybe get a video and come back and watch it... only because there is nothing on at the movies that we want to see but can't afford to go out SIGHHH but tha tis Christmas for ya... would rather spend the money on something else.

Now hubby and I are going out for the night woohoooo.... tell ya about it later.

Uh Oh.... she's back

I have spent tonight doing a header for Chris as I had an idea this afternoon and soooo wanted to do it so she now has a new header...

I am really sore at the moment.

Went to the gym tonight and worked my butt off and ran on the treadmill more than I usually do... then Kris came in BUGGER SHIT FUCK she is back at the gym. She went to another gym (but obviously she didn't get the attention she does at this gym) and now she is back.. she came up to talk but secretly I was PISSED like you wouldn't believe because I don't want to see her there everytime I am there..

But to be honest (he he he like my post last night) I worked harder because she was there because I wanted her to see that she didn't stop me doing what I was doing, and that I am doing REALLY well without her, and even though she fucked up my trainer and my Lean group for me I am still doing it... I am still losing and she didn't win....

I am happier without her in my life... but in saying that I am not going to go out of my way like I did at the end of last year to avoid her either. I am going to keep to my routine at the gym and keep to doing the things I like and if she is there I am going to do more and more but she isn't going to know that it affects me.

Jeremy was saying tonight that she has gained a hell of a lot of weight. She said to me a couple of weeks ago that she had gained 15 kilos back so that would make her back to 100 kilos (I assume) so I am not sure if that made me feel better or not...... it made me realise that I don't want to gain mine back and I want to change my lifestyle and not just lose it all and gain it back because I hadn't worked out what I had done to make me fat in the first place (OMG I am not getting at anyone that has lost and gained and lost.... just rambling ok... see here I am watching what I am saying stop it CM)

I think the thing I want to be weary of is that I am not going to stop trying when I get down to goal... that to maintain is just as good as to lose because when you get to your goal I have heard that it is the hardest thing to stay there.... so that is going to be a huge challenge for me.

I do want to achieve this but I am still sure that I don't want to lose it too fast...

I think the reason it has taken me so long to stop yoyoing from the 121 to 120's is that I was afraid to be in the teens... because then it means.... well I don't know what it means maybe it means that I have to work hard to keep going.... or maybe it means that I am comfortable at this weight because I am not noticed... When I was a teenager I was NEVER short of a boyfriends (not trying to show a big head) just that I didn't like the attention that much...

I do like being told that they have noticed that I have lost weight but then it makes me aware that if I gain it that people are also going to notice and judge..

Ok I am rambling now.

OHHHHH and I got a payrise today.. not a lot but it was a payrise woohoooo

Weigh in 19 Sept 2007

Weigh in day at home today:

Loss: 300 grams

Current weight: 119.8 kgs

Total loss from WW: 34.9 kgs

Total loss from start: 40.2

I am totally happy with this result this week. I have been going to the gym and doing weights and I had a huge weekend with food but managed to lose weight so I am pleased. I wished it would have been the 500 grams that I aimed for but with alcohol, weight training, celebrations a loss is fantastic.

This week has been wonderful in the fact that I haven't been worried about the scales and I have not been obsessing about my food.

I am sooo glad to be back at the gym and went last night and the gym was SOOOO full that we had to wait for equipment and we don't usually have to wait... and with that many people I don't usually jog on the treadmill as I hate being watched but thought FUCK this he he he and I jogged but I walked for 5 minutes and then for the remainding 10 minutes I did 30 secs run 30 walk and OMG did I feel great. An ex Weight Watcher buddy of mine came up and said it is soooo great to see you running and you look amazing so I felt like on cloud nine.

My exercise for Tuesday night was

• Treadmill 15 minutes (5 min walk, then 30 sec run, 30 sec walk for 10 more minutes woohoo)


• Triceps


• Biceps


• Quads


• Kickboxing with hubby, arms and legs


• Lateral Pull downs

I felt on fire... and my shoes are HEAVEN... did I mention that before??? HEAVEN and I don't feel my feet and I want to run run run woohoooooo..... even the last pair that I brought didn't make me feel this good and I didn't have sore knees going up to our bedroom up the stairs last night which I usually did with my other sneakers..

Watched Biggest Loser UK last night and had a wonderful phone call in the middle of it and said to the person...GEESH ringing me in the middle of B.L he he he hope the person realised I was teasing and it was great to get the phone call... but in the ad's I phoned them back... thanks for caring!!!

So is anyone else watching the BL? I just get such a buzz from it and want them to do more and more and more of it... gives me such a boost and such inspiration.

Thank you for your comments re my friend.

My friend UPDATE:(if you don't want to read I understand... thought I would warn you beforehand).

I think I have solved a little of the problem and said to my friend that if he doesn't want have anything to do with her we will work things out.

So on Monday's when he takes her to dance class and also my friend has her son's star soccer so I said I would pick the daughter up from dance class which I can go for a walk for anyway and bring her back to my place. So that means that she doesn't have to have Monday's be a day that she is scared her Dad is going to pick her up and moan all the way to school. Last week he picked her up and made her get dressed in her outfit in the car in front of 2 of the boys that are now his new family. I think that was disgusting for a 9 year old girl to have happen when she kept telling him she didn't want to....

He has changed so much and it is scary.

He won't phone but txts all the time and won't give her the phone number for his place or email so she can't tell him when things are happening in the kids life but he told the daughter that her mother doesn't bother to tell her when things are happening.

I have seen the texts and she has tried to tell him about things and he won't answer her so why should she bother... it is all beyond me this childish behaviour.

So anyway he text last night to say he had a production on at school on Wednesday with his work mates and wanted them both to come... it would finish at 10.30... so my friend waited 2 hours before replying (woohooo her) and said no they couldn't come she txt back saying

"Is this a joke. You are unbelievable. You have refused to have B unless she stays at night and not taking her to dancing. But want to show off at school. Pretend to be good dad with your new family. 2 late for kids. Pick up A on Mon outside my work at 9. Don’t wish to text you again tonight. Am over it"

I was sooo proud of her because she usually lets him have what he wants so that the kids get to see their dad and this time she had the balls to say no... and I can just imagine there are going to be reprocussions as he hasn't signed off the lawyers yet and is still not paying the mortgages and she is having to pay that and is also not paying any child support and said to her if she causes any more trouble she is going to claim for the kids that is living with him so that she gets even less.

Janene I said the same thing to her last night... if he can't take them both then he doesn't get the son. But she said she phoned a counsellor and they said it wouldn't be fair to the other child and so she agreed... sorry I wouldn't have agreed at all. The father is in the wrong and he has to know that he can't play one child off on the other and both of them would be staying home.

The 9 yr old said that last time she was there she was asked if she wanted to go with her Dad to placemakers or with the slut the supermarket by the slut and then her Dad said No girls go with the slut and boys with him... so there again she was shot down by her Dad and had to go with the slut when she has only just known her for a couple of weeks.... what is up with him.

I told my friend I was putting this in my blog but not mentioning names because I needed to vent as well and she was ok about this so don't fear I am not writing this without permission but I am not using names.

Saturday and Sunday

Saturday

Woke up early had breakfast and then went shopping woohoooooo. Went to the Shoe clinic and they got me on a treadmill with a camera behind me and watching how I walked... it was really weird watching myself walk from behind myself.

Apparently I walk on the inside of my feet and so I need a lot of support. So we tried on a lot of shoes to see what felt comfortable and then when I had the ones that I thought were right then we went back on the treadmill and watched how it changed my feet. It was really different and made me really happy that these shoes will help. He asked if I had problem with my knees and asked me if they were on the inside of my knees.. OMG he was right and so these shoes should help... $220 later (down by $99 on sale arghhh) So I invested in shows over $300 that is sooo not like me but I do feel that they will be great.

Then at 11 we went to the prize giving for both Corbin and Quinn. Finally left after 2pm arghhhh and I don't want to do that again... what a long experience that was. Hubby's brother and girlfriend turned up and so did Hubby's Dad.

After the prize giving we went to the break up party of the team members. It was a pot luck dinner and there was about 40 people there it was a lot of fun but Marina (one of the ladies that I go to coffee with) giving me midori and lemondade drinks and for some reason she kept topping them up when I wasn't looking... we had some parents there that didn't really mingle well and were quite strange but hey that is life. We ended up leaving there at 9.30 and the kids were so tired.

We did break for 1/2 an hour and went to get some lunch and we walked past a cafe and a old work mate was there with his other half (another old work mate) and his mother (who was the only one of our friends that we invited the parent too as she was sooo cool. Anyway they saw us walk past the window and he waved and smiled and I could see his mum mouth who is that and he said my name and she looked at me and had her mouth wide open like she couldn't believe it or something and then she smiled and mouthed wow... felt sooo coool...

Here are some photos:

Quinn and his team members (Quinn is 3 from the left)

Quinn above with the trophy on his lap

Corbins team (he is at the back on the right) they won the 8th Grade Championship for their division.
This was at the team pot luck dinner and Darren (the guy in the red) was our manager and he was giving out certificates and trophies for the year.

I was roped in to handing out the trophies while Darren gave the certificate and a speach. I tied my hair back for the prize giving but had it straight for most of the night.

Sunday

Got up and went to the gym as I was excited to get to the treadmill with my new sneakers and IT WAS BLOODY EXCELLANT it felt like I was on a cushion of air (the sneakers have gel bottoms) and I didn't feel like I was running in bare feet like I have for a while now. It was soooo great and jogging on the treadmill I didn't feel as bad and the knees didn't hurt and I was sweating like a pig after it..

We went and did our triceps, biceps, lat pulldowns, cross trainer and felt really great afterwards. Tomorrow night we are going to be doing the legs and the tummy and then Wednesday will be back to kickboxing.

We haven't been in a week because of my back and didn't want to upset my back at all that is why we have been just walking.

The afternoon was spent cleaning out the study so that I can find some crafty things for the kids so they can make some birthday cards for their friends birthdays and we were making jigsaw puzzles with my jigsaw cutter.

The weekend went to fast and now I have to get off blog reading and get my backside going on making Quinn's birthday invites arghhh. Can't wait till they are done and then it is another year till I have to do them again.

Love ya all

Sunday - Gym done

Went to the gym this morning with Delwyn and hubby and it was ok.. the gym seems flat lately like there is no life left in it at the moment.

I did 20 minutes on the treadmill and then some leg lifts and then went on the water bike... Also managed to do some dumbell lifts... but that was all for me. I am glad that I went but sort of not glad as my calf muscle is killing me now and before anyone says it... YES I did stretch before and after and during because Delwyn pulled a calf muscle about six months ago and she had stretches that she was given by her physio so she taught me them.

Celtic girl yes they were codiene tablets OMG what a nightmare of a night and the headaches are atrocious aren't they... but it is over with now hopefully. I am a little bit scared to go to the toilet now though he he he but have to get over that don't I.

ChrisH I don't know much about GST claiming and that so it scares me that I will register and then have to pay soooo much back that it wouldn't be worth it? I really have to get down to business and check out all about GST etc.

So until I do I am not going to pay for another laptop until I delve more in to it (or if anyone here knows about it?)... apparently there are business lease ones and you can claim back on it too... I am cautious when it comes to things like that because I don't want to get stung the other way around... you know what IRD can be like (well that is what I have heard).

Can you all please link me on your blogs (if you have links) as I would love to be out there more now but please link http://cmlosingit.blogspot.com I need all the comments and motivation I can get as I am sick of my plateauing.

Will update more later
