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

Food Today:

Breakfast: 1 toast bread with Jam (feeling not too well to eat)
Lunch: 2 Vogel bread, Chicken, tomato, slice cheese, pickle, lettuce
Dinner: Casserole, Rice
Snacks: Prunes (lots he he he)
Water: 2 Bottles

Looking for a new laptop

Woke up at 9.30am but didn't get out of bed till 12.00 because I had a huge headache and I am constipated (ewww I know you didn't want to know that). The doctor said that if I took the pain killers it would make me constipated and grrrr now I know it!!!

Had prunes and lots of water but not shifting and it is sooo hard to sit with constipation OMG OMG if it isn't one thing it is another.

So anyway after I got myself up we went out looking for a new laptop as this one is sooo slow that it takes like 20 minutes before it starts so hubby and I thought if I am going to do Papaya then I am going to have to have something that can handle the work...

Hubby wanted to go and get it but I decided that I wanted to be GST registered before getting the laptop or if I do start making money I wouldn't be able to claim a thing and I want to be able claim ya know??? But I don't know too much about GST to know.

Had a coffee with Delwyn (from Lean group) tonight at her place it was nice catching up.. she just came back from Samoa and so we are going to the gym with her tomorrow morning... it has been so long since going to the gym with Delwyn and I am looking forward to it even if I am limited to what I can go on, but damn it I am going to get back in shape.


Food today:

Breakfast: Egg, Toast
Lunch: Nothing as I had my breakfast late
Dinner: Roast Beef (leftover), Cauliflour, Carrots, Courgettes, Potatoe, Beans
Snacks: 4 Ryvita with Tomato, coffee
Water: 3 Bottles

Postive Thing that happened today: Delwyn texted to catch up and ask how I was.. I am thankful for friends today.

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

Motivation Galore

I am back to my old self!!!

Crusher worked me hard today and made me do the rower 4000 metres which took me 25 minutes but I know I can go faster than that as at the start it took us a while to work out where I was going to put my feet as I have a problem on it that my knees go out when I am on the rower so I put my feet on the floor but now I am putting them right under the feet holders so that I still work out properly but not tied in up above like other people so that I can not damage the knee.

I think I am more motivated now than ever... the reason being... I finally realised that I don't have to have Kris in my life to feel fufilled.... and also realising that I have so many supportive people in my life...

• firstly my husband he is just the best,
• Crusher is there for me and listens and is helping me out and believing in me when I don't believe in myself,
• you guys reading and commenting and listening I thrive on your support and the fact that you care and listen to me means SOOOOO much you wouldn't know,
• my friend Delwyn for telling me that I should not have gone back to Kris as a friend (the last time she let me down) and I didn't listen giving Kris the benefit of doubt and so now she can say "I told you so"
• Debbie for listening through the last week and commenting and helping me get through all this crap because I don't like the situation I have been in in the last week, Debbie goes to Lean with me and pushes me and goes to the gym with me and keeps me focussed on the positive side of weight loss, plus she is a great friend at work.

THANKS HEAPS EVERYONE

I felt great because I felt sooo relaxed and the concentration was even better with Crusher today.

Crusher just made me feel great in the fact that she has set me a challenge... I have a 6 week challenge and I will get the food list tonight (that she has two other people doing) and we are going to knock this weight off me he he he...

I said to her I want to lose another 10 kilos by February... now realistically I don't know if I can lose that much but I am going to try. I am more positive with this now and I know I just have to stop PISSING AROUND and do it.

So to be at 114 kilos by end of February will be my next challenge.
The teen's the teens woohooo.

So Crusher "Onward and Downward we go" I have the exercise sorted I reckon... I don't have a problem with the exercise and I am addicted to the gym it is just the food that I have to sort and that DAMN water.

Plus I feel like I am getting another cold... I am taking panadol and barocca like you wouldn't believe at the moment as I don't want to be sick anymore and I don't want my knee to stop me from getting on with this challenge.

So the challenge starts this
Sunday 22 October 2006
with Crusher and it will finish
3rd December 2006

Worked out my measurements today and these are the results

Arm - 12.5
Waist - 34.2
Hips - 22.0
Thighs - 9.5
Chest - 16.0
Calves - 6.2

Altogther lost: 100.4 centimetres over my whole body.

Went to school to watch my boys do their cross country today and had a picnic lunch with them... it was a lovely afternoon (especially when it was raining most of the day) the rain stopped and the sun came out BLISS!

I was soooo proud of the boys they did so well! They weren't last (like I was in school) and they both tried sooo hard and came in the middle... they were soooo cute with the determination on their faces.

Ok I have yapped on enough... got a sore throat and so I am going to get an early night and make sure this cold that is trying to come on doesn't get any yukkier he he he

Love ya all
