Insert Witty Title Here.... I Got Nothing....

Tough day at work. I spent an hour and a half fighting with a 4 yr old. She refused to put her shoes on. I got kicked. I refused to do it for her. So we locked horns. I won of course. No 4 year old is going to kick my arse. I ended up leaving work almost an hour later than I am paid for. So skipped gym and got a frozen coke instead. Lol. (Come on!!! I'd been bargaining with the kid for a long time... my throat was really sore!!) I also got into trouble from my boss for sitting too close to a work friend.... apparently that sends bad messages to the parents, that we are just talking and not working.... bare in mind we were doing bookwork (observations on chn) I was so mad. So I gave boss some dagger looks and didnt talk to her for 5 hours. Then she was lovely as pie....grrr.....

Like the title says.... I'm here.... I'm bringing my A game.....

Shake It Up!

So I'm not losing weight. Nothing. Size maybe... but not weight. I am very much over that. I am working out, and eating fairly well. I'm guessing now it's time to step it up further. I am back into daily food diaries, cutting portions down, working out as much as I possibly can. I am not settling at this size. No no no. I was reading a magazine when I saw an ad for Mount Franklin water- the 30 day 2 litre a day challenge. So I signed up! At the moment I'm drinking about a litre a day. If I stick to this challenge I will reward myself with something spesh.
I've noticed I've totally stopped rewarding myself with charms for weight loss. So I gotta get back into that also. That was a really good incentive. I really think life just gets in the way sometimes! But I really want to focus on getting the last 20 off and not letting it pass me by.
I know there is a really good reason why I'm stuck on this weight. This is the weight I was stuck on a few years ago on my very very scary stint of Duromine. I haven't been below this number in a loooong time. It scares me a little. Fear of the unknown. But I want it bad. To be in the 80's. So thats the goal. I want to see 89!!!
Goals for the week:

• 2 litres of water a day- minimum
• 5 workouts - 1 hour long in length
• Cut back on carbs
• Up veggie intake

I have decided to do shakes in the morning. We'll see how it goes.

Any suggestions, tips would be appreciated!

Disapointment

I don't want to go into what happened on my trip to Melbourne. But just to let you know that I arrived there on Thursday afternoon and left on Friday morning...... title of the blog says it all.
I am really upset that I didn't get to meet some of the wonderful bandster friends I've made. Myf- we HAVE to meet at some stage. Your awesomeness I have to see!
One person I couldn't be without is Mandi. Mandi saved me. So Mandi if you're reading- thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou! For taking me into your home and being so caring.
I'm not sure if Kristie you are reading- but there should be more people like you in the world. Seriously. Not everyone does what you did. Not at all. I am very very proud to be your friend. So shut up and stop being so modest- you are AMAZING.
I went days without having sleep, so I'm still in catch up mode. I'm exhausted. I am pushing on however and off to the gym right now. This weekend I don't give a shit about food choices. Whatever, whatever. But I will make sure I'm working out. I haven't been to the gym in a week! I miss it so very much!
Had a dream this morning about doughnuts. That I was at Doughnut King and trying to choose a doughnut. But they were all so nice! The ones I wanted were sold and I couldn't have them. So I settled for other choices. Its not about food. I know that.... dreams have meanings.... thoughts guys?

Catch Ya On The Flipside

Off to Melbourne in the morning for a friends birthday. Will be there for 4 days. Catching up with some fellow bandsters and very excited to finally meet them!!
Not feeling 100%- figured out the tiredness, sore throat and aching is because the kiddies must have given me a present- seem to be getting sick. I'll fight it though!!!
Have a great weekend y'all! $10 says I have lots to tell you food wise when I get back!!!

Oh So Tired

I didn't go to the gym yesterday. After work I came home and sat in bed all night. Very very very tired from work and very sore.
Tonight I had a nail app so I didnt make the gym. Not that I had the energy anyway.
I'm so tired at the moment! Im frustrated- I want to be able to workout and be all systems go!
I'm thinking of pushing myself tonight to walk- just for 30 mins. Might make the difference. I still have to pack for my trip to Melbourne. Probably should do that tonight!!
I booked my 1 yr post op consultation. I said to the receptionist- whenever you can get me an app in march..... she came up with March 12th- exactly 1 year banded!! So I have to get organised to get my tests done.
I pbed again at work today. Its purely because I am trying to rush through my eating. I have 5 mins to eat my lunch. Doesn't work. So I have to think of a way to be able to sit and have at least 20 mins to eat.
Thats all for now. Very tired, a little annoyed at my body....

Weekend Wrap Up

Hey guys,

Had a really good weekend. After two shitty ones I deserved to have a nice one that was relaxing and in no ways stressful! Saturday was Valentines Day- felt a little stab in the heart but I got on with it- stayed with my friend Kristie and did dinner and a movie. Ate way too much crap in the space of 24 hrs. Had garlic prawns, popcorn, lollies, chocolate and yum cha. My body doesn't like it too much anymore. Right now I'm craving a huge bowl of salad and veggies. Mmmm..... what the fuck happend to me?
I worked out yesterday- I did 45 mins at the gym. I felt lazy missing that other 15 mins. Thats a good sign. Today I got home and would much preferred to have a sleep- but I jumped on the treadmill for 30 mins. I think the issue now with me cutting my workout times down a little might be boredom. So after I get back from my trip to Melbourne I am planning to start classes. Figure its better to start before my 12 week challenge so I'm not too sore right from the word go.
I have to look at the times of the classes but I know I really want to do step. Maybe fatburner too....
No change on scales. I KNOW its not all about the scales. But I would like to see the number go down instead of up. I know it will in a few weeks- I just gotta be patient. I emailed my dietician the basic idea of my daily food. Maybe I need to change it up- maybe my body is too used to it? Suggestions?
4 sleeps until I go to Melbourne! Yay
