Birthday, Grommets, Adenoids

It is Corbin's birthday today and hubby and I took him to school… and Quinn and Corbin was happy and left him there and went to hospital with Quinn for Grommets and have his adenoids out.

Got to the hospital at 10.30 and then at 11.30 the school phoned to say I had to come and get Corbin…. He fell in class and hit his head on the table and got the side of his face and was feeling sick and had a huge headache so I went and picked him up and then went back to the hospital with him OMG OMG what a day…

So we got there at 10.30 and the operation didn’t happen till 3.15 and then he got out of the operation at 4.00 to go up to recovery and we left the hospital at 5.30pm OMG I hated the hospital and the wait wait waiting!!!!

Poor Quinn and also US - we didn’t have any food from 7am till 5.30 and we were naughty and got KFC for dinner as I couldn’t be bleep bleep cooking… I know it was wrong and I didn’t care as I had never had anything all day!! Not quite acurate I did care but Corbin asked if he could chose his birthday dinner and I tried my hardest to get him to go to Subway but got all upset and so I thought I would work my arse off tomorrow at the gym... but I am feeling quite upset that I ate it now...

So Quinn had his grommets in and they decided that he needed to get his adenoids out as well and I am glad because my poor wee man needed to be able to hear and he hasn't been for quite some time.

He keeps saying that we are talking too loudly and he said that the sliding door is making a funny sound and hubby said to him that it wasn’t making a funny sound it was just that he had never heard it before.

Also Quinn said that the cat was meowing too loudly and he was just purring he he he… he also apologized to Jeremy that he was shouting too loud and Jeremy said to Quinn “you aren’t shouting now you are talking normally” he just looked at Jeremy wondering if he was telling the truth.

I am glad today is over and I have the worst upset tummy from worrying about both my boys today and so today is over and that is good.

I have Quinn home tomorrow as he is not allowed to go to creche just in case he gets knocked or something like that so I don't get my day to sort out things again but that is ok... that's what you get in the big jobs.

I must say my hubby ROCKS... he took the day off sick to help me with Quinn at the hospital and everything and I know I wouldn't have survived this without him....

I honestly don't know what else to say.. I have lots to say about how I am feeling with my weight loss and with my exercise and other things today but I can't be fagged.. yep I know... scary aye.

Feeling pumped??? - long post

Lean this morning (now ladies Crusher has changed the name which is taking me a while to get used to.

So this morning I was late... didn't really want to get up because my throat was killing me but I managed to get there even if it was 5 minutes late. Crusher was explaining what the challenge is for the next six weeks of the group which is:

12km Walk/jog/run
12km Bike ride
4000 mtrs Rower
50 Sit ups
50 Push ups

Ok... now this is frightening me a bit but I am going to try that is for sure.

There is going to be more people joining us and there will be two teams. One with Sgt Major and one with Crusher. But they are going to be swapping us around and we will change every week... hmmmm not sure about this.

Now don't get me wrong but Sgt Major is a nice guy but doesn't do it for me... he scares me a little because he doesn't say a word... if it feels like it isn't fun then I am not motivated and I don't quite get the guy (does that make sense).

I am realllllllly sure he is a nice person but when he talks etc there is like no emotion and it is making me a bit fearful as to if I want to do this.

I see the way he is with Kris and I don't work well with that... she sometimes seems pushed to the absolute limit when you can see it has gone too far for her.

I like the way I work with Crusher... she is bossy and she is pushy but she does it with a smile and is the only person I have ever wanted to work hard for.. I have had so many other trainers and I hated it!! I hated it with them as it wasn't fun anymore... ok so I have that out of my system... and please don't get me wrong I think Sgt Major is a lovely guy... but not what I want in a trainer.

This morning at MM8 it was full on.. we had to walk to the overbridge and go up and down it running and sprinting.. Well I walking at the start but when no one was watching I sprinted up the bridge. I did do some jogging today but wasn't going to push it with my knee.... it is getting better and I haven't had as much problems with it lately but I don't want to get it to the stage where I can't use it again either so I am taking it slowly. But I did try hard to push myself a little more today. It felt good that is for sure.

Today was the first day that I felt that the others at our group were getting away from me in the fact that I was the only one that felt slow... I know before today I didn't feel like that but I felt quite angry that I wasn't up to their level of fitness today. I know I have more weight on me but I have been working hard to get better and I do think that I am better than I was but the others have sprinted ahead... ya know, and don't take it the wrong way... they deserve to get ahead because they are great ladies and work damn hard.

Crusher said that we have to be positive.. so I suppose I didn't say anything because I wasn't feeling too positive today.

So anyway this morning I approached Debbie at work (she is a big girl like me) last week she said she would like my clothes when I lose weight. So I assume from that she thinks she is bigger than me... hmm not sure if she is bigger than me or a different shape from me. I said to Debbie that I reckon she should do this group challenge and she agreed only if she could afford it. So I talked to Crusher and she said for Debbie to phone her and she will sort something out... Woohooo it will be great to have another person my size in this doing this and I do believe that Debbie is the sort of person that will stick with it and really try hard and I suppose in a way it is a little bit selfish of me as I would like to have someone my size there too instead of all the fit people that I am feeling like are way out of my league at the moment.

I have to find a guitar teacher for Corbin in the next week as he has been bugging me like you wouldn't believe to learn the guitar.. I think I have been a little apprehensive because I am not sure if he will practice to get it right because when he finds something difficult he gives up and sulks... hmmm what to do... what to do!!!

Breakfast
Bun

Morning Tea
Berry Smoothie

Lunch
Mini pita breads
Corned beef
Potatoe

Dinner
Bacon and Vegetable Slice
Salad

Anyway after all that I am going to go and cook dinner

Love CM

Busy Busy Busy

Seems like I am always saying it aye... he he he busy busy busy

Went to work this morning but my mum wasn't well so I told her to phone me if she couldn't look after Quinn anymore and I will be at home.

About lunch time she phoned to say she wasn't feeling well so I came home (with work in my hand) and looked after Quinn while she went to bed. But... as you can imagine I didn't get much work done at all as Quinn just wanted to play play play.

Feeling quite sore today from the workout with Dee yesterday... my thighs and butt is so sore that when I get up out of my chair I cringe he he he.

Had a PT with Crusher tonight and she said that when she weighed me on Friday that I have lost (the reason she didn't tell me on Friday was because she didn't have her papers to check what my previous weight was).. so that is great.. I lost.. but to be quite honest she didn't say it but I don't think it was much of a loss as I haven't been that great with water or food in the last couple of weeks if I am honest..

So in my PT tonight Crusher told me my next challenge for this week and I have to do 4 sessions on the rower... 1000 mtrs, 2000 mtrs, 2000 mtrs and 3000 mtrs before next Monday... and tonight I did my 2000 mtrs soooo one down 3 to go YAYYY!!! We did other stuff as well but it was all good. The time goes really fast when Crusher is there that is for sure.

Breakfast
Toast

Morning Tea
Wasabi Peas
Almonds

Lunch
Mini Panini's
Corned Beef
Potato (left overs)

Afternoon Tea
Handful of Sohos

Dinner
Meatballs
Spaghetti

Getting a little nervous about Quinn's grommet operation on Thursday but it is going to be a good thing as Quinn soooo doesn't hear what we are saying sometimes. Last time he had them done he kept telling us to stop shouting.

Anyway going to go up to bed now.. I am buggered he he he

Love ya all

Saturday and Sunday

Wow... weekend almost over!!!!

I have stopped properly all weekend.. What is new you ask WHEW glad it is Sunday night.

Saturday

Went to Soccer at 9am this morning and it was the last soccer meet for the year.. it was a little sad but great because that means we have our Saturday's back..... it gets to this time of year and having only one full day in the weekend gets to be not enough. They won their game it was an intense game and the kids were like they were on fire. Hubby's mum came and my mum came and everyone in the team was there. I took like 300 photos while I was there so I can give it to the parents at the prize giving night. I was sooo proud of all of them that is for sure.

Got home and gave Corbin his birthday presents from us... (we already gave him singstar) but we gave him the other cd's to go with it and a fishing rod and a battleship game (one that is computerised he he he) and so we played that for about 2 hours it was fantastic. Two of Corbin's friends Cathan and Dion arrived at 12.00 and so they all went with hubby to get Mcdonalds for lunch and came back to eat it... and have his chocolate mud cake.. yummmmy.

Went to Hamilton sky city and played laser strike and hubby's brother turned up to play with us. One other friend of Corbins (Connor) met us at the laser strike... So we had to split in teams and it was CM, Uncle Chris (hubby's bro), Corbin and Connor on one team and Hubby, Cathan, Dion and Quinn in the other team... and Corbins team won woohoooo I must admit I was pretty damn good. I would never ever ever had played laser strike last year.. I would have stayed outside and thought I would be too big but it was fantastic and we all enjoyed ourselves.

Then after that we took them to play Ten Pin Bowling and my 4 year old Quinn won in his team and I won the other game he he he he it was a good afternoon but I am glad it is over and done with now because 5 kids is just a little too much for me he he he.

Went out for dinner with hubby later that night as mum thought it would be nice for us to get out. So we went out to an Indian restaurant and I think I did pretty well... didn't get myself too full and made sure I ate slowly.


Sunday

What is it with me and busy days huh!!! Got up (out of bed that is) at 8am... got everyone showered and had breakfast and then I met the girls at the gym. It was the best workout I have had in weeks. I am glad I had time off this week with everything but the PT sessions because today I worked my backside off with Dee and Delwyn... they are fabulous on to it soooo motivated woman... I just love them.

15 minutes on cross trainer OMG OMG OMG woohooo 15 minutes all in one go.
Leg extensions
2x25 Squats with swiss ball
2x25 lay on back feet on swiss ball and lift bum off floor
2x25 doggy lifts backwards for backside
2x25 biceps
2x25 arms up to get shoulder blades
2x25 doing crunches at the same time lifting feet off the ground and knees towards head... OMG OMG I am sore with these.
10 minutes on the bike with the girls 30 second relax and 1 minute rpm 100 OMG OMG

Got home went for a bike ride with the boys to get some things from the shops... it was great we ended up doing 8km.

Got home and then went through our gardens in the front and got rid of some plants that didn't like the frosts much and ended up filling a garden bag full... he he he.

Went and did the groceries after all that..

WHEWWWWW... so glad that all that is finished now because my arms and legs feel sooo tired and I feel soooo tired and I am going to go to bed soon.

I have had 5 bottles of water today... I think I needed it aye!

I am watching NZ Idol at the moment... not sure if I want to get hooked into this again but with my music background I get hooked into it really easily grrrr. I get mad when people that are really good don't get into the final because they don't get enough votes... it bugs me like you wouldn't believe. Mind you I thought from the start that the girl that won it last year should have got it right from the start and I said that to my hubby...he couldn't believe that I predicted that as she was totally under the radar from the start... I got the gift he he he he.

Only 2 weeks and I am off to my other goal (up in my title bar) of quad bikes woohooo can't wait can't wait can't wait... and 5 weeks till our holiday in Wellington Wohoooooo I can't wait to meet all you ladies for the first and for the second time... it is going to be exciting that is for sure but then I am soooo nervous that I might be a little quiet too he he he. It is going to be so much fun getting together.

Going to bed now.. TIRED!!!

Love CM

TGIF - Woohoo

Had a great workout today.

Had most of the week off but had a PT appointment with Crusher and it sooo put me in a better mood. I think I have missed not doing exercise for the past 4 days.. OMG it has only been 4 days yet I felt like crap.

I managed to do a total 17 minutes on the cross trainer today woooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooo. Crusher worked my little backside off he he he Go Crusher!!

Went for a coffee at my local (he he he that sound great he he) with Kris and my mum. It was a nice cuppa!

Came home and made lunch it was yummmy and something different that I haven't had in such a long time.

Picked up Corbin from school and went to the Cheesecake shop (because that is where he wanted to have it from) to get his birthday cake.. and yep you guessed it was a Chocolate Mud Cake (with no cherries he said he he).

What a better mood I was in after doing a work out this morning that is for sure.

Only 2 weeks till I am going away for my birthday in Taupo for the Quad bikes woohoooo I cannot wait!! I cannot wait!! Feels like I am doing so much in the next couple of weeks but that is ok. I suppose it is better to be busy than bored out of my tree aye.

I have had........

I have the worst headache this afternoon…
I have had enough of kids!
I have had enough of being a taxi!
I have had enough of telling people 6 or 7 times what I am trying to get across to them.
I have had enough of bills.
I am sick of the sinus infection I have!
I am sick of not being able to sit still without having to do something for someone or something.

I had a break from the gym this week and it was the worst thing ever. I have wanted to eat more at night time. I have wanted chocolate! I have missed talking to Crusher!! I think it is because she keeps me grounded… it is weird I know…. If I see her at the gym it reminds me to keep on track and to get this weight off.

I have been given two comments today on how great I am looking with my new three quarter jeans on and I must admit I feel great and I am wearing a size 20D bra at the moment (I have only just gotten in to a 22D and was soooo happy then).

It is Corbin’s birthday next Thursday and he is having his party this Saturday.. him and 3 friends are going to ten pin bowling and laser strike… OMG they are all looking forward to it. So anyway today I was supposed to go with him to find a cake for his birthday but I ran out of time. So I will have to do that with him tomorrow. I always make a cake for him but this year he said he wanted to get one from the shop… hmmmm maybe because the chocolate ones look soooo yummy and usually I won’t let him have it without it being an occasion etc he he he he.

5 weeks 3 days till I come down to Wellington OMG I cannot wait!!! I need a break from work and from my town!!! I want to get away.. I want to relax and it is going to be so much fun with meeting all the girls down there again and their families… they can keep my children today he he he he.

My work mates yesterday did a paragraph to me in our communication book that everyone reads that I should be really proud of myself for the Tough Guy/Gal challenge.. it was sooo nice and thoughtful.

I know I have to be more positive but finding it hard today!! Crusher said look for the positive and be positive… so I will try harder.. I just think I am coming down with something or that I am feeling exhausted after the last couple of months of doing so much.
