Even though I said I would be really good these past few days - things just have not gone to plan. It has been so hot here! Which translates into I have not done any exercise, eating has been OK but alcohol consumption has been really high (especially since i hardly ever drink!)
We have had friends over and spent most of the time drinking with our feet in the pool:)

Tommorrow night we are going out for dinner to a local pub. I won't be drinking much since I have to do the breakfast shift on New Years morning!

~ Don't worry though - I have not gone completely off the rails,
although I did sneak a peek on the scales and I am nearly 3 kilo's up from last weigh in - mind you I am so full of fluid, I can feel it in my hands!

Today when I went to the newsagent to put tatts on, I brought a 2006 Diary that opens 2 days to a page. I will be using it to track my food, as well as other bits and pieces ie. measurements
Lately I have done this in a note book that has been easy to rip out pages if they looked bad!
I will not rip pages out of a diary!!

Since I don't have an official weigh in until 12th Jan, I will weigh myself on the first of Jan. That will be my start weight for the year - I will be cleaning the slate and starting afresh!

Well this will probably be the last post from me this year ~ So I hope everyone has a great New Year for what you all have planned!

I will be back next year with my goals for the new year:)

All over for another year...

Glad to see that we are all starting to come back - and everyone had a great christmas!
I have eaten and drunk quite a few times over the past week!
We had Christmas eve instead at Dad's- which was great with the family together (except one of my brothers)
On christmas day me Vic and the boys had a lovely picnic, it was nice to be able to sit and relax instead of rushing around on the day. In the afternoon my brother and his girlfriend came up to give the boys presents - it was a great day!
The boys got a play station which has kept them very quiet when we have been home..lol
The best present I got was a Hydro bath Spa - a mat you put into the bath and it turns the bath into a spa, and it massages ( I have been having a bath everynight!)

On tuesday we took the boys to a trout farm - and they had a ball fishing! The photo's are above. Luke caught the first one!! These are the first fish the boys had ever caught, so it was a great day for them. We also went through Daylesford and hepburn springs - it's so lovely there!
Yesterday we were back at my Dads, as my Uncle who now lives in Townsville is down for a few days we ended up going out for chinese which was nice ( not for my weight loss though)

I don't weigh in again till the 12th of jan, and I won't be jumping on the scales at home ( if I can help it) either - I feel that I have gained over the week - I have already started eating well again
If I w3eigh the same as I did last week, at my next weigh in I will be really happy!
I was looking through last years weigh in book and I gained 2 kilo's over the christmas period last year ( and 6 kilo's the year before) So to maintain will be great!

Hope all that are still on Holidays are having a great time:)

I finally got the santa photo done - this is a bit blurry because my scanner is playing up and this is a photo of the photo...lol

The boys and I spent most of yesterday shopping, I got myself some 3/4 jeans and a few singlet tops for summer. While out I bumped into a friend that we have not seen since our wedding - so we sat and had lunch with her 3 boys, which was really nice!

Tommorrow we are having lunch/dinner and drinkies with my family at my Dads place - so will be doing the present thing with them all!
Then on Christmas Day we are going to a park for a picnic - We have not been to the park since the day I went into labor with Jason!

I will not be stressing about food ~ will no be over indulging either, I am just going to enjoy spending time with my family!

If I don't update till then... I hope everyone has a wonderful stress free christmas!! And that Santa brings you what you want!!
Congratulations to Jodie and Jamie for their early christmas present:)


P.s I weighed in yesterday and gained .8 - I will be better next year:)

Just a quick post to let you know I am still here..lol

I have been a real slackass the last few days! I had my work christmas party on Sunday, and drank way too much - and have had a constant headache ever since. Which means I have not done much in the way of exercise!
My last weigh in for the year is tommorrow, I am not expecting a loss - mainly for the above reasons!

I brought the ww mag yesterday, and read more about the new program - so I will be giving it a go next week! I really need to get motivated again:)

Hope everyone is going well, and that all your shopping is done and wrapped!

The boys finish school at 1pm today - so I will go and make use of my last few hours of peace:)

Angel Decorations

These are so cute - they are holding hym little books with the year written on them!

Candy Cane Raindeers

Here is a picture of the boys taken yesterday out the front of our house to send to family in Tassie. I have been so busy that I have not had time to take them to get santa photo's done, they finish school on wednesday - so I will take them sometime after that:)

My new profile pic is me in my work clothes! I was getting sick of looking at the other one..lol

I weighed in yesterday and gained 1.6 which means that I really lost a kilo - as I did not weigh in officially last week. After weigh in the group went out to lunch for christmas, it was a great afternoon. One of the ladies made candy cane raindeers and angels for the tree which are so cute! I will take a photo of them later.

Things are really busy at work, last night was another grade six graduation - it was fun watchinhg he powerpoint presentation they did of all the kids from prep to grade six, they seemed to be all well behaved - but when I was leaving there were jelly and choc mousse cups strewn all through the car park..lol ( only cause I didn't have to clean it up!!)
Tonight we have the wedding party coming for a rehersal and they will stay for dinner - when people get married at the winery they have the ceremony in the gardens - so it should be a fun night. Then on Sat night I will be doing the wedding. So far, according to the roster I have all of next week off:)

Before I go I just want to thank Jodie for sending me the no count list for the new ww program!
I have printed it out a will go through it, and will email you with my questions!
I am excited about starting something new:)
Well must go get my uniform washed for tonight!
Have a great weekend everyone:)

Wow it's been a while since I updated!
I have been busy with work - and we have been to a few christmas parties and a christening in the last few days...I am tired!!

Food has been Ok lately, but I have been drinking alot of alcohol which I do not normally do - and exercise has been pretty slack too!

Today I went and got my licence renewed...and for once I don't mind the photo..lol
and I picked up the last of my layby's - which means chrissie shopping is over...yay!

Sorry this is quick - have to get ready for work tonight:)

To caramel kitkat - thanks for the beauty tip, my sister did a course there last year...I forgot about that place! I will definetly do it:)

Just a quick update;

I am working today, so cannot get down to weigh in - I weighed myself (unofficially) this morning and I was 2.6 kilo's heavier! I have given myself a stern talking to and my aim this week is too get rid of these two kilo's.
This time in the past is when I would say 'well christmas is coming, I'll try harder after the holidays' ....But I don't want to be heavier in the new year!!

Today - thursday is normally my shopping day, and a 'free day' eating wise - but not today! I have done a plan of my meals for the week. We are going to a chrissie do on Saturday night and I have already said that I will drive so I won't be drinking - there will be dancing which should help with what I eat!
....And I am working four shifts till next weigh in which helps with the exercise - and I will be having dinner before I go so I won't pick at food while I am there

Well those are my plans for the week, Hope everyone is having a great week:)

Here is our christmas tree which the boys put up and decorated yesterday!

Friday was a great day, I had a facial - my skin still feels really soft!
and a massage which was just wonderful, I will definatley be having more of those :)
Eating wise was good too - I had a salad wrap, water and green tea during the day.
After the spa we picked the guys up from the pier, and went on a train called the 'blues train' We had a bbq dinner before we got on, the train had 4 carriages and there was a different band in each one. The train stopped every half hour or so, and we all got off and go into our next carriage - it was really fun with everyone up dancing!! I did have a few too many drinks though!
The bad part for me was when we stopped at Mc donalds at 1am on our way home!

On saturday my sister came with me and the boys - and we did christmas shopping, so now I am finished..Yay!!! We ended having take away for lunch, then afterwards we went to my Dads and had more takeaway for dinner...NOT GOOD!!

Yesterday I just ate junk.... I am really missing Vic not being home, so I guess I have been emotional eating!

...But I got up this morning and have gone back to basics - I feel like I have gained heaps, I have not got on the scales...cause I am too scared too!! Last night I had a horrible sleep as I felt so bloated and yuck!! ....What an awful feeling!

Well I better go clean up, Hubby should be home soon:)

Just a quick update before we get picked up to go for Vic's work breakup.

Weighed in yesterday and lost...wait for it.... .1!
Just scraped through to get my engine ~ I am the only person who has the whole train so far!!

Today is the day we go to the day spa ~ I can't wait for a massage! Afterwards Vic will be going away for the weekend to a fishing competition, and when I pick the kids up from Mum's sometime Saturday, we are going christmas shopping to get something for Vic! Then I have promised the kids they can put up the chrismas tree - they wanted it done yesterday, but they didn't have much time before they went to their Grans!

Well hope all have a great weekend! Not long to christmas now!!
