I feel like posting here today.
I haven't had much to say lately but I am feeling quite overwelmed today with my life.
Have you ever had those days that you just have so many things you want to do but can't seem to work out which one to do or which one that you really want to spend the time on.
I want to do my cards but when I do my cards I want to go on the computer and then when I get on the computer I want to do my computer scrapbooking and read my new Slimming magazine.. then when I am reading my slimming magazine I want to read my scrapbooking magazine. I cannot seem to sit still and read one thing or do one thing.
Got up at 5.30 this morning and went to the L.E.A.N advanced (he he he) course today and it was a great workout. I hated doing it but I was not going to let myself hate it and I had to push myself and get over the pain. One of the ladies there when I went down would come and say get through the pain hun and you will enjoy it and it is only an hour. It was nice that she came over to get me motivated and I felt fantastic because of it. We went for like a 2km walk to a hill down the road from the gym (and it was dark he he he) and then she made us go up and down the hill and I managed 6 times and by the end my legs were hating me like you wouldn't believe but I pushed through it. My knee at the moment is not happy but I feel happy that I did it. When we got back we went on to the bikes and had 1 minute easy and 1 minute hard and then on to the treadmill to do the same and when our trainer came over I felt quite dizzy and just had to stop. I think after being sick I pushed myself a little too much and said to her that I think I might just go so I was about 5 minutes early leaving but I did do the work and I pushed myself and felt fantastic for it.
I am not too sure about my weigh in this week. I don't think I have been bad with the food but I have had a lot of carbo's this week that isn't right so I don't know until tonight what I have lost.
I have a mini goal tonight I want to get to and I am anxious to see if I manage it.... but the way my thinking has been going lately everytime I think I have lost I gain and visa versa so with my body I just don't know. I am really happy with my photo I posted yesterday and in a way I can tell the difference in the way I look happier in the second but I just still can't wait till I am at goal and I can see the two pictures and wonder how they can both be me. I want one of those photos that you can't tell it was me.... it will happen and I know I have a couple more years to go but I have done one year so that is one year closer.
I have finally gotten my head around this life style change because for a month or so I have been so up and down in my head (especially when I thought I was doing so well and I didn't) so let's hope it will keep going. I am not a happy person when my mojo isn't there, but hey it is all good challenges for us.
Ok so I will update later on what happened.
Love ya
Chubbymum
:::::UPDATE::::
I lost what I was aiming for... (and no Kris it wasn't the big one he he he) just a little goal that I have been trying to achieve to get me focussed he he he...
WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I have been doing this L.E.A.N course for 3 weeks and in 3 weeks I have lost each week... no yoyoing wohooooo. I am convinced that the L.E.A.N is benefiting me because I haven't changed my diet as such. I am loving the mornings.... I have got my head around the early morning rise and I am not letting it beat me because this is good for me, and I think I might do this for the rest of the year... keep up with the routine.
I am not fretting about food anymore as I am sticking to the good food and not straying from that. I think the hardest thing for me over this year is to get to the stage that food isn't the problem as such... just that I can indulge in things in moderation and still keep with the plan... isn't that the whole thing? Getting the balance. If I loose next week then I am well on my way and have found the balance for me.
Anyway going now.. thanks everyone for being here for me.
Love ya... love ya.... love ya....

Hey long time no type
I know I have been slack over the last week.
I think it is because I haven't had that much to say and I am not too sure how the weight loss is going. I lost last week and I had my monthly and didn't feel like I would loose at all but tomorrow night is another weigh in and I am not too sure either. I mean I haven't been bad and I have been doing my exercise but I just don't know if I have lost or not.
Wasn't feeling too well today felt quite light headed and hubby seems to think I have a bug and my work phoned and said there were a couple of people off sick with feeling quite light headed so that sort of made me feel like I had a bug after that. Was a little scared it might have been my blood pressure but after hearing that I think it might be a bug.
I have been having a lot of people notice the change in my face lately. It is great for the self esteem that is for sure.
Went to the gym today to learn about nutrician as we missed that part of it with this L.E.A.N course. I have to say that most of what they said were things we knew from Weight Watchers and with WW I would get more support in that area. Not to say I am not going to try a couple of things that they had on their pamplets but WW is more logical for my life. We have been asked to put our food down and bring it in on the L.E.A.N classes in the morning so she can discuss things with us and maybe give substitutes. I hope that I am feeling better tomorrow so I can make the L.E.A.N class as it certainly makes my day.
I thought I might put this picture up so that you can see the difference from Jan 05 to Feb 06. It is a cheeky photo as hubby was being smart when he was taking the photo.

I feel good in the February 2006 photo and feel happier that is for sure. I wish that the difference was more but hey that is life. This photo was taken on Saturday (just gone).
I am sorry for the lack of updates.... I just don't know what to write and to be honest getting frustrated with totally concentrating on weight loss all the time that I feel like it is doing my head in. Please pray for me tomorrow at weigh in because I really want to lose... not much but just a little would do me.
Love ya all

Wow what a day
The day went really fast....
- Work was a nightmare... things happening at work with boss and she was crying (can't say what) but OMG.
- Had a phone call from our new bosses in head office and they were asking me if I would take over the administration job of the whole 4 centres in Hamilton doing HR, ACC and other stuff not account related hmmmmm not sure because I don't really want to work anymore hours. I still have to decide.
- Went to the gym and met Kris there and did a work out and now my arms and legs are KILLING me. I think I tried harder than I have in such a while.... and our trainer was soooo pushing us to the limits today. Afterwards Natalie (the receptionist there) came over to me (as she was doing the class) and said "I am really proud of you today I was watching you in the mirror and you were working it girl" Wow that felt really good for her to say that and put me on a high.
- Got home and sat down and the phone rang and it was one of my Weight Watcher leaders phoning to talk to me and say she was glad that I came back this week and she really believes I can do this and that I can be a leader at the end of it and we were talking about so many things for about an hour.
What an inspiration she is and how special she made me feel just phoning me and asking me how things are going. I did tell her that I cannot wait until winter when some of these people drop out. I said I know that sounds selfish but I find it harder to talk in the meetings because the people there don't know how long I have been at this and how much I have lost.... I know that is my problem but it doesn't feel as close nit... until last night anyway. She said she feels the same. Usually she knows what people have been through and what they have lost etc but with the new people it is different.
There were so many other things that we talked about and it just reinforced that this meeting is for me and the support that I am getting goes far beyond the meetings. - I am tired..... he he he
Anyway going now.
Love ya all

I lost.... I lost.... I lost....
I don't have much to say today.
But!!!! I lost 1 kilo wohooo for me. I have lost in the last two weeks and I think it is because I have been doing this L.E.A.N course and I have been just going with the flow and not stressing.
I think I am well on my way to getting this weight off. I have stopped the competing in my head now and I am happy with the weight I am at the moment... so happy... so happy with how much I have lost (not like over the moon but happy for losing anything).
I am glad that I have goals in my mind now and not material goals but emotional goals.
The best thing is is that I thought I was going to gain because I have my time of month but I didn't hmmmmm.
I have been concentrating on making cards this last week and not spending so much on the computer. I think I have been calmer since doing it too because it is creative and not spending all night on the computer.
I hope you are all still with me.. I know I am trying to read everyones journals and replying...still love ya all.

Weekend
I have decided that weekends I won't update until Sunday or Monday only because I was spending too much time in the weekends when I could be spending it with hubby or the kids or even just for me.
Saturday
We took off to Waihi in the morning to go and check out sections or houses out there to have as a bach... I asked my mum if she wanted to go for the ride and she agreed and thought as usual unless there were shops she wouldn't get out of the car but she suprised me no end she went for a walk with us to the swing bridge and around the camp site (in Athenree) and the harbour as well. I told her it was great that she was getting out with her grandkids because they were enjoying having her there.
We booked our camp site for Easter woohoooo so we have the same campsite as Waitangi weekend and the boys are just soooo happy about that.
We still haven't found the section etc we want but we are wanting to go and see some more towards winter too because it is good to see sections in winter just in case the bog up or other things happen with the houses too.
It was such a nice picnic by the harbour and to do it as a family was fantastic.
Sunday
Got up at 9am and had breakfast then went for an hour bike ride with the boys. It was nice as it wasn't that hot yet. I felt wrong all morning and felt quite grumpy.... wasn't too sure why until I got home and realised that I had my monthly... now a little background. I am ALWAYS late with my monthly ALWAYS... but I am a week and a half early! OMG it is just weird. Hubby thinks maybe it is because of all the exercise I am doing etc. I am not usually grumpy at my monthly but today I just couldn't be bothered with anything including my boys and I know that is bad but I was in an unhappy mood. So I thought maybe I would do some cards and managed to do 12 cards to sell.
I am so scared to go to weight watchers this week only because I have tried really hard with the food this week and now I have my monthly grrrrr so that is a gain for me ho hum. But there is always the week after.
I have a little goal that I am going to finally say... I have someone that I know that is only 6 kilos away (no not you Kris) and I am going to close this gap between us so that I can lose more than this person. No you don't know who it is but this has given me a focus and goal now. The last goal I had was to prove another friend that I COULD lose 20 kilos in one year and I lost that in 10 months.
I find it hard to have 5 kilos challenges and goals for material things.
While at Waihi this weekend there were other things that I am looking forward to doing when I get down under the 100 kilos.
I don't know if any of you have been watching the show "Now, so you think you can dance" but they had some tap dancers on there... OMG I am going to try tap dancing... I still have to get the nerve or maybe I am feeling like I am still a little too big for it?? Hmmm I don't know I will have to think more on that.
Anyway I have rambled on too much.
Have a good night... another week starting tomorrow. Can you believe it is almost March argghh

- I am going to do the Waihi mountain (well it looks like one to me he he) and not cry the whole way like I did when I was a teenager because it was too much exercise for me.
- I am going to go to the surf beach and go swimming with my kids and not fear about all the surfies and what they think.
- I am going to walk the Karangahake gorge walk and take lots of photos.
- I want to stop being afraid of things and to do everything that I set my heart on.
- Sea Kayaking with the family and go for it on the beach up and down the waves.

I DID IT!!!!
I feel pumped!!
The thing I am most proud of today is that...... drum roll please....... I jogged YEP YEP YEP you heard it right. I jogged this morning.
Ok it was hard and I felt like I couldn't breath afterwards he he he but how exhilerating was that. I went to the L.E.A.N class at 6am this morning and we were outside again and she asked us to walk/run around the shops... ok my first thought was NO WAY was I going to run around the shops.
It felt like I was back at school again but when we started off I was running and then decided why not try it! Why not try and run and I did!! I DID!!! then I heard Kris's shoes going faster... yep she was running behind me he he he he so I think maybe it must have made Kris think wohooo I can do it too... so that was a gold medal to the both of us this morning.
I was at the A & E AGAIN yep yep yep with my oldest son last night and $50 later OUCH they gave us ear drops and it hasn't helped. So today we went to the doctor AGAIN (3rd time)and said that his ear is worse and red and you can even lightly touch it and yesterday you could touch it... It was worrying us that is for sure. The gunk in it just seems to be staying in now... I would rather that it was coming out like yesterday at least the waste is not staying there.
Well this doctor said the only thing we could do was keep with the antibiotics and give him pamol and nurophen OMG I just can't believe it.. this boy is so sore and upset and I can only give him pamol. It just doesn't seem right. So we are going to leave it for another day and if there is not one bit of a sign it is getting better OMG we are going back again.
I don't like to fool around with ears it is just not right. Work was ok today. Boss seemed to actually delegate today. Apparently she said yesterday others had said that she isn't delgating enough to them and others and she turned around and said that it takes too long to teach the person how to do it and then they could stuff up and she has to fix the mistake... well if she doesn't give anyone a try why have staff at all! People are only human and she is not perfect. So it is not only me that is getting annoyed with her not delegating. So hopefully she sorts things out and stops her micro managing.
Anyway it is 8.30 and I am going to bed because after going to the A & E with Corbin last night I had 4 1/2 hours sleep and then had to get up for the L.E.A.N course so I am buggered. I have 3 days off. I think I have finally found my balance in exercise. When I was doing 5 days a week I was burning out and the food went out of control... now with 4 days it is working right for me and I am not feeling like I want to eat the whole house out he he he.
HEY GIRLS... I think my MOJO is back.
75 kilos here I come!!!

Exercised out
Ok... first off... had the day off as sick today as Quinn was really sick last night and had a fever and blocked nose and ear infection. So I decided that I would stay home today and keep him away from my mum so that she wouldn't catch it (wishing thinking on my part).
So phoned work said I wasn't coming in which as far as my thinking... I have 7 days a year sick leave and I have been there since July and haven't taken a day since then. So anyway after taking Corbin to school and cuddling Quinn most of the morning my boss phones.. I don't know if she was checking up so that I haven't taken the day off without being sick or what (I phoned my boss but she didn't answer her phone this morning so I phoned the lady under her to tell her I wouldn't be there). So anyway she gets on the phone saying she couldn't find things and OMG I just wanted to say FUCK OFF I had enough to deal with with Quinn being sick and for one fucken day she could deal with the things without phoning me... which got me to the thinking that maybe she was phoning to check that I was really at home with a sick child.... GRRRRRR...
I am tired of the micro managing she does it is just pissing me off.
My horoscope tonight says that I should just stick to things at the moment and not change anything... omg is that an omen or what. I was looking through the job pages and read the horoscope so maybe I should sit back and think about things..
but lately I have hated my job...
especially since they sold the business because one of the Directors is now just a manager (I mis the other director) and half my job has gone up to Auckland because the business that took over our centre has it all centralised... well now what do I do.. ???
I have been a Financial Administrator for such a long time in my jobs that with half of my work gone is driving me insane and my boss micromanaging because she wants to know everyones job is driving me insane. I am not the only one that is feeling it.
This afternoon before going over Kris's place I sat back thinking... ok the job is boring but I have to only deal with it for 21.5 hours of a week and really in all honesty I am only working because I want money to do other things in my life so hey why not stick it out till the end of the year....
I do know that I would love to do a course in Life Coaching... that is funny considering I dont know what I want to do with my life but I do love helping other people... maybe councelling would be something I could do. I love it when people ask my advice and I try to give them what I think but leaving it so they still make their own decisions.. hmmmm might be something I should look into??
Well anyway Kris and I went to the gym today and tried out the new Vibro machine (or something like that) it feels like you are holding a huge I MEAN HUGE lawn mower and it fibrates. You have to sit in different postions (like you are doing squats or pretending to sit on a chair) to get the feeling and it contracts your muscles. OMG now I thought that it was a stupid idea but thought it would be interesting to try... so anyway after doing the exercises on that Kris and I decided to go to the Kick boxing class and I was sore with the muscles feeling tight but I reallllllly realllllly tried in this class... now after an hour and a half I AM REGRETTING THAT I TRIED THAT HARD argghhhhh and I have to get up at 5.30am to go the gym for the L.E.A.N course. I reckon I like punishing myself that is for sure.
So.. how do I solve the not liking my job? I know I sound like I am a stuck record... I mean will I ever be happy? How do you know what you want to do with your life? I am 35 years old and I still don't know. I don't want my boys to ever ever have that! I hope they know what makes them happy and does it.
Closing off now.

Been a bit quiet
I have had nothing to say in the last week.
I have been quite down with my weight loss over the last 4 months with all the yoyoing... I loose I gain and I feel like I am doing the same old same.
The second day of the L.E.A.N was really good today. Felt like I accomplished lots and I am rearing to go. I am looking forward to doing this course more and more each time I go. I think meeting new people and having different things to do in the hour is fantastic.
I wasn't feeling this positive before going to my WW meeting tonight. I had a huge talk with hubby and I know it sounds contridictory but I was talking to hubby today at lunch and decided I would take a month off and get my head together because I am paying money and I am not achieving what I want to and I am not saying that WW doesn't work. I know it does!! it is me either not doing something right or my food combinations aren't right even though I am staying with points. The WW works!! just maybe not how I am doing it. I have been through the talk about why not try the no count but it is too restrictive for me and I would not stick to it.
So I went to the meeting all prepaired and I weighed in (and lost he he he) but still said to my leader I wanted to talk. Well both leaders came and talked and started the meeting late and both of them said to me that they want me to lose this weight and become a WW leader and have thought from the first day that they met me that I should be a leader because people listen to me in the meetings and that they believe I can do it. (One of our leaders is the one that teachers the North Island WW leaders) hmmmmm. They had a huge talk to me and I was crying because honestly I don't know what I am doing to yoyo like I am!
I had a friend that said I couldn't lose 20 kilos in one year and I DID!!! I proved her wrong and that got me going but since that I have not been losing because there is no goal for me. And I just can't pluck it up like that... I have to do it for an angry reason (real not fake) and when I am pissed off I work harder. I don't like goals like getting my hair done or my nails or buying clothes as it doesn't motivate me, material things aren't my motivation. I have to work this out I know do but how is what my problem is!!
So anyway one of my leaders have given me a personal trainer she uses and that he like a guru with nutrician and he does personal training at his place as his wife is studying to be a teacher and he has a studio with all the stuff. So she suggested I try him out. I am thinking that I will do that when I have finished the L.E.A.N course because I would like to try this out first. Obviously with doing the two days of the L.E.A.N this week it has given me a loss and so what could happen next week is the same and if so then L.E.A.N. is working for me and maybe I needed to change the type of exercise I was doing.
My weekend went really well spent time with my friend that is considering moving to Hamilton with her new man and he seems really nice.
Also made heaps of cards to sell as that is what I want to do! I want to make cards for a living... I want to have a card shop or a creative shop where I can scrapbook and make cards and anything else that takes my fancy. It makes me happy.
Went to the L.E.A.N course at 6am this morning and then when I got home hubby had breakfast ready for me and had a lovely card for me too... In the middle it said.... you are my one and only love and will be for eternity. Love Hubby and then it said P.S I owe you $4 for the card he he he (I made the card but not the saying he did that and stole it from my stash he he he) but that was thoughtful because he doesn't like Valentines day and usually I get something a day early or late and not on the day because he doesn't believe in the commercialisation of it all... so for him to think about a lovely breakfast for me ready when I got home was fantastic...
Anyway love you all

P.S.... sorry about my banner and picture. I will fix it this weekend coming. I was hosting my pictures somewhere and they have gone under so I have to work out how to fix it and quite frankly I cannot be bothered until the weekend he he.
LOVEEEE and hugs and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Sore, Sore and SORE
Ok do you get the feeling that I am sore.
I couldn't get to sleep till 12.30am this morning as I was thinking about the L.E.A.N course. So 5.30 came and I got everything together got dressed for the gym and off I went. OMG I just felt like I wanted to go back to sleep.
When I got there Crusher introduced us to a really nice group (around 8 of us) and we got some weights and skipping ropes (ARGGHHH) and went outside to do some exercises. The skipping rope was a bugger I can tell you but I did it and I did the one where most of the fit ones ran but I did the fastest walk I could and I was proud of myself. My heart rate was up and I was feeling like I was putting my whole body through it. My arms were swinging and I refused to let myself relax. Then we went and did some ab work etc
It was the best workout in ages. The only thing I didn't like was rushing to have a shower so I got to work by 7.30 but hey that is life.
Work was ok today... can't say it was a blast.
I am proud of myself though.... BLONDE left a V on my desk at work and when she came up to me I said 'did you leave the V on my desk' and she said yes. I said thank you but I haven't had a V in weeks and I am not going back there (in all fairness she didn't know that I had given up V's) so she took it back and as she was walking out the door she walked back in and said 'I just have to tell you that your face is really slimming down and you are looking great'. Wow what a compliment especially when BLONDE has never really given me a compliment before. So that put me on a high for the day. Every little comment will work that is for sure.
Going to the schools PTA tonight and I am not too sure if I want to or not but Kris begged me he he he he so I will go he he he
So I might update later on.
See ya
Chubbymum
UPDATE:
Went to the PTA and it was good, but I felt like a small child again with the headmaster watching every move I make... I know it probably wasn't like that but I felt like that.
So I did get roped into being on the Gala committee he he he only because I don't want to be the only one not saying yes so I put my hand up argghhhh.
The only thing I have against the PTA is that they got the children last year to sell chocolates for money. Now I know that they are the biggest sellers for the PTA but aren't NZ school supposed to be promoting healthy eating and living and that they don't allow coke etc drinks at school or the selling of sweets yet they get the kids to massively sell chocolates... hmmmm doesn't seem right for me and I don't know if I could keep my mouth shut about it.... hmmmm we shall see.
Anyway good night I am going to bed he he

Day started off bad but got better.
Day at work wasn't the best but it was good too.
The day went fast and the best thing was leaving work he he he.
Picked up Corbin from school and I was really proud of him at reflection time he actually had his hand up to answer a question and got it right. Last year the only thing that his teacher commented on was that he doesn't participate in group activities. I put it down to the fact that he is like his Dad and he likes to think about things before he answers and by the time he has thought about what he wants to say it is over with. Sooo proud and I asked him what he thought of his new class and he said he Loves his new teacher and new class. Wow in only two days this teacher has impressed him it is great. Great things will happen for him this year... not that last year didn't because he was only 5 and reading at age 8 but if he likes his teacher then he will achieve more.
Met Kris at school and we walked back to her place and had a conversation... we both realised that since we haven't been going to the gym together like we used to we have both not gone as far as we have. We had this team thing going on! Like we worked harder or something. I am not too sure why we both work harder with each other but we do and I am sooooo glad we came back to the conclusion that we need to get back to it again. The motivation in the last couple of weeks has been all over the place that I just don't know what I am doing or what I am trying to achieve in my weight loss. All I know is that I want to lose the same amount of weight this year OR MORE.
So we did a fantastic work out tonight.
18 minutes on the bike
Squats with the swiss ball
Bicep curls
Bum lifts
Crunches
Lateral Crunches
Triceps
15 minutes on treamill
5 minutes on the arm treadmill
5 minutes on the recumbant bike.
When you look at it that way it isn't as much as when you are doing it but my arms and legs are feeling da pain he he he.
After our workout we went and saw Crusher and explained what we were feeling and she asked us to join in on the last two weeks of her L.E.A.N course which starts at 6am tomorrow morning ARGGHHHHHH not a good thing for me... I don't do mornings he he he but tomorrow I am getting my arse up and meeting Kris there and we are going to do this! I need something to get my backside going again. I am doing the WW thing and I am doing the exercise but not achieving and maybe the combinations aren't right for me and this will give me the push I need.
So the camping trip is over and now I have to get back to life!
Woohooo I got my Easter Leave approved today too... we are going camping for a week in the second week of school holidays woohoooo for me!
Anyway good night everyone

Camping we did go!
Saturday/Sunday/Monday
Took off about 10am this morning as the camping ground didn't let us in until 12 midday. So we left around 10am and had a really nice drive there. The weather was fantastic and we stopped at a bakery in Waihi and had a nice chicken roll (soooo big) that I didn't eat it all. Now that would have been a first for me that is for sure. When we got to Athenree it was just a feeling of happiness. It is a great camp ground with hot pools and a harbour to swim in (really calm and refreshing). The boys were so excited about camping and quite frankly so was I. We put up the tent and got the whole place sorted. It had a really nice area for us to have our table and chairs up and we read our books for a little while and had some water to hydrate us again. The boys were like on a high so we got our togs on and went for a swim in the hot pools and they met some friends there and we chatted with people too and I had one lady come up and ask if my son went to crèche at **** and I said yes and she said that her daughter recognized him. What a small world huh.
I cannot say my food choices were fantastic this weekend but I was too worried. I didn't overdo it and I enjoyed myself.
The best part of the whole time was on Sunday when we got up early and went to Waihi Beach (not the busy part though he he he) and I felt exhilarated! I was in my togs and I was at the beach and I was in the water with my kids and GUESS WHAT.... he he he I went boogie boarding ME... boogie boarding. Hubby got a photo of my face smiling from here to kingdom come. I haven't had that much fun since I was a teenager he he he.
We went back to the tent with some fresh bread and had tomato sandwiches under the umbrella and had a half an hour where we read our books (wohoooooo) and then hubby took the boys to the hot pools for a while as I just wanted to relax for a while and I didn’t have a wonderful sleep on the air bed he he he Saturday night. It was soooo hot that I got up and went for a walk to find them and they were at the harbour so we all went in with the boogie boards and got the boys floating on the top of them. It was nice but I forgot to put suntan lotion on and that night was a bright as a beet root he he he he.
Hubby enjoyed it so much we are going back on the second week of school holidays woohooo. I just felt so relaxed and the kids enjoyed themselves too. Hubby is thinking about buying some land over there so we can tent whenever we want and then build a house on it so we have a Bach. OMG it is like a dream for me to have a family Bach. If we find one at a good price with a house we might just get it and rent it out over Xmas (because we don’t travel at Xmas as there are too many idiots on the road). That way we can make some money for the mortgage. So you never know… he went and got real estate brochures and all… wohooooo.
Came home on Monday afternoon about 3pm and when we got home we had noticed that Quinn’s nose still wasn’t getting better from a cold he had a month ago. Plus I made him clean his teeth in the morning so much because I thought he had bad breath and said he wasn’t cleaning his teeth right. But in fact when we looked it looked like he had something up his nose.
We took him to A & E and they sent us up to the hospital as Quinn wouldn’t let them near his nose. We waited from 4.30 till 11.30pm just to see a doctor last night and then they couldn’t get near it either so they said that we need to see the ear, nose and throat doctor but if what was stuck up his nose was metallic then we couldn’t so we went to have an X-Ray and that is when I broke down…. (my dad died in this hospital and I think it was just too much after all that waiting and waiting). It wasn’t a metallic thing in his nose. The doctor seemed to think it might be bone or something and sent us home and said to go to the ear, nose and throat doctor in the morning and they might have to put him under local anesthetic.
Ok so this morning I took Corbin to school and hubby took Quinn to the hospital and we arranged to meet at the hospital after I took Corbin to school. When I was leaving the school I hear this toot toot and hubby was in the car with Quinn with his thumb up… I started crying from relief as I was up all night fretting about it.
And guess what it was.. Cello tape!!! Yep he stuck cello tape up his nose GRRRRR so needless to say we had a huge talk about not putting anything up your nose or in anywhere apart from his mouth and that has to be food as well. GEESH
Went to the gym at 11am this morning and did a big cardio workout. Enjoyed it heaps.
I went to Weight Watchers tonight and I gained but I am ok with that. I did the naughty eating and DRINKING that I deserve the gain... I am back on track now and the gain is in the past! I am so much stronger than I was a year ago and I have finally realised that I have to do this for me and not as a competition which is what I had been doing. So it is going to be a good year!!
Good night everyone

Feeling quite positive about things
Feeling really positive about my weight loss this week. I am chuffed to pieces with my loss on Tuesday and I am just revved up for this week.
I was so motivated that I went to the gym this afternoon and did an hour, half an hour of cardio and half an hour of weights... and OMG my arms are killing me tonight and I have drank 3 litres of water... feel like a sloshing bucket he he he he.
I am on a high too because a friend emailed me tonight to say sorry she hasn't emailed for a while and that she misses our friendship and she might be moving to Hamilton. OMG that would be fantastic. I have known her since we were 7 and we have kept in contact ever since. Obviously not every week but I have missed chatting to her... so I might get to see her more now wohooo.
So my day has been quite good. We are going to meet up this weekend with her and her new man. We are also talking about going camping with all our kids. Wohooo I have missed that and with my friend moving to Hokitika it has felt quite flat but now it is going to be more interesting.
Good night everyone.
Love Chubbymum

Day went so fast
My day went so fast today... my work has finally got their jetstream working WOHOOOO so I can check my email at work OMG it is fantastic. I was able to keep in contact with hubby and with a friend (after I got my work done that is for sure).
The day went so fast! Better than waiting around all day.
I haven't got much to say tonight! The day was a non really but it was ok.
Tried to convince Kris to come to the gym tonight but in the end I didn't go because I think I just couldn't be bothered really and spent time with the kids.
I want to win Big Wednesday tonight!! I want to win it only because I want some money to go and study full time in something that I want to do.
I am reading a book at the moment which is making me think about how to discover what i really want in life and that I could do anything if I only knew what it was. So it is giving me things to think about.
I know the first thing is to get my weight off but I don't know what to do with my career as I am obviously not happy where I am. Not that the people are great just the job sucks and I feel like I am not challenged enough.
So I am on a career finding mission this year as well as losing weight.
I want to be happy with my life... and that part of my life is not right yet. Mind you I have done a lot of jobs like Financial Administrator and Research Assistant (with Ministry of Education money for the University, where I was dealing with a couple of million dollars), a computer consultant at the University, a computer tutor with a class of 25 people, and now I am an administrator for a creche.... which is good but not challenging enough but VERY good money!
So I have to do something that has good money and good hours to suit my family and something I am interested in.... OMG that seems impossible really doesn't it. I want to do more computer courses but anything I want to do is full time or part time at the wrong hours sooooo my dilema starts.
I am just not going to live my life being bored or not achieving anything because I have one life to live and I want to make the most of it.
GEEESH I thought I didn't have much to say tonight he he he.
Good Night
Love CM
The day went so fast! Better than waiting around all day.
I haven't got much to say tonight! The day was a non really but it was ok.
Tried to convince Kris to come to the gym tonight but in the end I didn't go because I think I just couldn't be bothered really and spent time with the kids.
