Another friday, and ill say it again, where does the week go!!
Exam went well yesterday, got lots of study done in the morning and think i did pretty well on it in the afternoon. Training last night was good, good resistance work out. ive been incorporating it into my home routine as well and can already notice the tonning difference.
Treadmill is going great, went for a walk/run wednesday night when i got home and then yesterday in between prac exams! im going to have to watch my water intake just before because the last two times ive struggled with stitches. Chappy pushed me on wednesday night and i ran through it but god it killed! so when i work out how to erradicate them ill be flyin!
Tonight im staying out at rachels, chappy and her husband are going to the footy in melbourne so we thought wed have tea and a night in with the kids. then off to nagambie tomorrow morning for footy and netball. then back to trudi and chris's to get ready and go to kims 30th! looking forward to it, should be a good night!! Hopefully denise gets some good results today so that trudi can enjoy herself tomorrow night, she went back into hospital last night with a low white cell count but was seeing some melbourne specialists today so fingers crossed.
Snuck a peak at the scales this morning, havent had a perfect week this week, only exercise was wednesday and thursday but good work outs, and huge roast and sweets at mums wednesday - bloody sensational mind you though! and then snuck a freddo last night after the exam too, was a bit naughty but i shared half with chappy and one thing i said to him last night was do you know why i know ill be able to maintain my loss for life... because i really havent gone with out anything along the way! ive just changed habbits, portion sizes and exercised more. ive still drank, ive still had pasta ive still had white bread and ive still had chocolate! so thats very good to know!
Made up my 40 favourite 80s juke box CLASSICS for saturday night on 2 cds! i listened to them last night they are, oh my god - so fun! I cant wait till tomorrow night now!!
Anyway better do some work, its nice for things to be back to normal after 30 June though, i hope you all werent too disturbed by my before picture below... ive got some underwear before and after shots that ill try and put up next week! look out!
Talk to you all soon, xx

Another week has flown by and we're back to monday, and I can't believe it tomorrow its 4 months until the big day!! the weekend turned out a bit bigger than expected, friday night I didnt end up driving to the work doo, but enjoyed a few wines instead, kept up the water so I woke up okay on saturday, chappy whipped up scrambled eggs for breaky and then we headed out to footy. had a chicken steak for lunch and then to our friends place for tea, home made steak sangas so it wasnt too bad considering the big night. saturday night was great, just had tea at our friends place and their kids kept us entertained, even though we didnt get to bed till 12 it was nice not drinking!
Sunday I had a good sleep in while chappy went and did a job in the morning, he was home by about 12 and by then i was stuck into the housework, i went for almost 6 hours all up, from the house to the car and anything else I found to do along the way, cleaned out the spare rooms, did all the washing, floors, windows, you name it! anyway i was wrecked by about 6 and chappy cooked yummy burittos for tea and then watched our shows and bed. i had planned to do some study but my brain would have melted after the busy day so instead i relaxed on the couch - oh and I got a big walk in during the day as well!
Didnt sleep the best last night and woke up with a bit of a kink in my back so im hoping that racks off. homework tonight and beef stroganoff for tea! and our usual walk after work.
This week I have a mid semester exam on thursday arvo, so thursday morning off to study, might sneak a walk in as well, so the week will be getting organised for that! then friday night chappy is going to the footy with the boys and im going out to a girlfriends for tea with her and the kids (her husbands going with chappy to the footy) so we'll stay there the night then head to nagambie for footy saturday, with a friends 30th saturday night. so away from home for the whole weekend this week! and im sure we'll be at the weekend again before we know it!!
I rang the guy I do cleaning for friday nights and told him that im going to have to pull out of work from now on, too busy with work, uni, netball trainings and not to mention our busy little social life! he was wonderful and said whenever i wanted to work again just give him a ring. it will be nice to have my friday nights back though and i look forward to joining chappy and zara in their walks fridays!
Anyway enough rambling from me, have a great day and ill talk to you all soon xx
p.s weighed in this morning 74.5 so lost again and still under goal, still chipping away at my personal goal of 72-73!

Wednesday and TTOM and feeling great!
Just a quick one in between files today I just wanted to fill you in on another productive night last night and still feeling fantastic today! Even though its blowing an absolute gale out and in the middle of ttom, im actually having a really good week, and fully recovered from the messy weekend!
Guess what - I ran last night - for 30 minutes straight, it was just under 5kms in that time and I walked another few kms for the other half hour. I could have ran for a lot longer too i didn't even feel buggered afterwards. Training was called off and I felt like doing something but the rain outside had it over me, so for the first time (and probably the last after the price) i went down to the gym and used the treadmill for an hour, we talked about hiring one but then i came to the decision that its just not worth it when we walk zara twice a week have netball training the other two nights and then netball on the weekend, and im not training for a marathon im just wanting to maintain my fitness so i dont think I need to up the anti but instead just keep up with what im doing at the moment! and i have enough on outside of that that would eventually have the treadmill sitting in the corner collecting dust anyway!
I had the ww meal for tea and a small bowl of left over tomatoe soup for lunch - filled me up nicely then i did a couple of hours of study after that, its great theres nothing on telly tuesday nights now! I just had a yummy toastie for lunch and cooked tea for tonight, its all in the slow cooker, the redwine beef and mushroom casserole in this months ww magazine. so chappy will make some mash just before i get home from studying tonight! ill see how i go with a walk tonight, bearing in mind the rain and how im feeling, the last few weeks when ive gone after tea ive gotten tummy pains then the horrid runs, so ill see what happens, and i might get blown away!!
Yummy lunch planned tomorrow with sarah, get my carbs up for the weekend too! the usual yummy one we normally go to, then a ww meal for tea to balance it out! other than that everythings running smoothly, i might not be saying that at 7 tonight but at least ive gotten things done!
Have a good day and night and i look forward to reading your blogs and hearing from you all soon xx

Last Tuesday in June
This year has officially flown! There are just over 4 months to go until our wedding which was originally 20 months down the track when we first got engaged! I still can't believe how quick its gone and how much has changed since as well!
Last night was a nice night, and very productive. got home and chappy and i went down the street to have a look at a couple of shops that had end of financial sales on at the moment, didnt end up buying anything but thats okay - saved our dosh. then we went for our usual monday night walk with zara! Got home and had a ww chicken and vegie risotto for tea. then i did the housework and caught up on all the washing from our weekend and still had bags to unpack from staying away saturday night. then I watched my favourite show - brothers and sisters and did some wedding stuff as well, re vows and readings and found a poem for our wishing well to go in the invitations. so getting a few last things picked out! we still have a couple of songs to finalise as well. I also did my weights and situps, resistance stuff after tea as well!
Tonight we have netball and football training as usual then ive got a ww meal out again - pesto and sundried tomatoe spaghettini its called i think, its yummy anyway.
TTOM started today so im feeling pretty lousy, just trying to push through in between nurofens. woke up with horrid cramps this morning and still feeling pretty sluggish now, im holding out for my freddo treat this afternoon to get my chocolate fix, then ill try and run it out tonight at training. after training ive got a couple of hours of homework to get through and then tomorrow night im staying behind again to work on the next weeks work load! still keeping up to date with it all which is good, my mid semester exam is in a couple of weeks time so hopefully im all up to date and very knowledgable by then!
Im really looking forward to 'looking after myself' this weekend and then getting a nice big result monday morning because of it. Friday night we have our end of financial doo at the olive grove in shep, its the nicest place and yummiest food so ive allowed for that, but only 3 or 4 wines, which after saturday night - is more than enough for me at the moment!! and then saturday we are having a quiet night in, I can't wait!! sunday will be at home again, chappy is working so i might get some homework done, or even head to shep to get some stuff for the table centrepieces, see how i feel, want to get a big walk in too, so ill have a nice day of that kind of stuff! So that's my week! I was a couple of hundred grams up after the big weekend but im not fussed, its pre bloat as well so im sure ill be well under again this week! thanks again to sherrie - my goal present is sitting smartly on our telly at the moment and i smile every time i walk past and see the diamonds shinning back at me!!
Have a great week and thanks everyone for your amazing support xx

THIS ONES FOR SHERRIE
Oh my goodness, what an absolutely amazing, caring, supportive, inspirational, thoughtful and gorgeous human being! Im talking about Sherrie Moran, one of the most amazing and supportive people ive met through ww online with our little ten kilo challenge we signed up for at Jan 1 this year. Over the last 6 months sherrie and I have managed to lose our ten and get to goal together! She is back on track after a trip to the UK, which im very very jealous of! But the reason why im posting for the third time today is because I just went across to the post office to pick up a package this afternoon, thinking it would be something boring or even a bill of some sort, and to my surprise there was a neat little parcel from an online jewellery company. Inside there was a stunning necklace which she has sent as a reward for making goal on friday! yes only friday and its here already. I am so greatful to this woman, not only for this amazing gift, and huge surprise, but also for her support, friendship and encouragement over the last six months! And I just thought id share what kind of amazing people are out there and that the support from you all that read and comment or email, has been absolutely essential to my success and i love and thank you all xx Toodles
FOOTY BALL 07
Hi guys, here are some pics from the ball saturday night. it was a huge night, very very drunk. and very sick when i got home and sunday... I really have to look at how much im drinking because im still in the habbit of drinking what i drank 33 kilos ago and my body can't handle it anymore, it makes sense so I have to have a look at that. we didnt get up till 12 yesterday then when we did we didnt do much else, slumped on the couch, pigged out a few times and then finally got to bed again last night. it was a really really fun night though and it was great to get to goal before hand friday! Lots and lots of lovely comments saturday too which is wierd when I see the same people every week but i guess people notice when you dress up differently and it was great to be able to say yep i got to goal yesterday! I still have to scan my before photo one night this week at home so i can post it on here... its shocking.
Busy week again this week, and 30th june work party this friday night, will be having a quietish night, couple of wines but netball saturday and not really keen on having a big one again for at least a couple of weeks. takes it out of ya!! Thanks alea for the nomination and everyone else for their lovely comments, always so great to hear from you. I hope your all having a great week. take care and talk soon xx

WEDDING INVITES - Exciting!
Here you go - first to see our invites, chappy hasn't even seen the final draft yet!! the second two photos were taken at night by our stationery chick so they are a bit yellowish- she is a star by the way, fifi is the wonderful woman's name and she has designed exactly what we wanted and been so so helpful with so many other things as well! we are very very happy!
As you can see from the top picture our theme is tiffany blue and white which I love! the photo's are all going to look great! Im starting to get very excited, with 4 and a bit months to go.. oh shit thats not long at all!!! Tried my veil on the other night, thats my something borrowed from best friend and bridesmaid sarah, it matches my dress as well! You should have seen me prancing around the house all veiled up! haha!
Last night was very productive. homework till 7.30, home for a healthy tea by my gorgeous husband to be, and then watched BB and went for a run/walk, ran further than I thought I would, got a stomach bug thing when I got home so i was on the toilet for the rest of the night.. nice.. feeling much better today though, and back into it, busy one again, training tonight and ww meal for tea, making a lasagne in my lunch break for denise (trudi's sick mum)she is having radiation all week in bendigo this week and I have to go get rach (youngest daughter 16) on our way to training tonight so I thought id drop in tea so denise or trudi don't have to worry about it tomorrow night when she gets home. some more bad news this week the poor things, its been really hard.
Anyway have a good day and ill talk soon. xxox
