Sorry posts are getting far between each other:)

Not alot has changed this week - Malcolm is still in hospital, which is where I have been spending aot of time...he has staph at the moment which is a worry. I went with him yesterday when they did a scan and they said that the infection is in the tissue, and not in the bone, which is supposed to be good news. We are hoping they will let him out for the day tommorrow for Dads wedding.

In other news, My baby(Jason) came home from camp this afternoon, it was so quiet here without him, especially not having him home for his birthday...he opened the rest of his presents, then went to cubs, which were celebrating thier 1st birthday ... so its been party time around here. He came back with a very croaky voice which I guess means he had a great time:)

Well hope you are all having a great weekend...I wish I was coming over to tassie to see you Nanette, instead of going to the wedding...it would be heaps more fun!!

Will update soon with some wedding pics!!

Unfortunately my weekend was a bit more eventful than I had planned...My brother was admitted to Sunshine Hospital on Sunday morning due to an infection from a gash on his leg (from the accident) he can hardly move and is in alot of pain..he was supposed to only be in overnight...but they have kept him in, and we don't know when he will be sent home...Dad has been stressed (he has even called me a few times *shock*) as he is getting married on Saturday...his girlfriend is pissed that Mal is taking up most of Dads time ( she is a bitch!)...so things have been stressful.
I don't know if I have mentioned before, Malcolm is my youngest brother, when I finished high school, before I found a job I used to look after him, while mum slept (nightshift worker) so I was the one who took him to kinder ect...so we have always been really close!

In other news my baby left for camp this morning, in tears because he is worried about not being home for his birthday, the teachers have arranged a party - I bet by now he is having heaps of fun and not even missing us...lol

Even though eating hasn't been the best...nothing great when stuck in a hospital:)
I have not let any more twiggy sticks touch my lips...and I have done 3 shifts!!

Thought I'd better do an update to let you know that I am still here:)
It's been a good week, I did a few extra shift which is great moneywise.

My weigh in meeting was great this week, one of the girls did an exercise class, she set it up like a little circuit, and we did warm ups aswell as a game of tunnelball...it was great fun, the most exercise that I have done in a long time...my arms are still sore from the pushups...lol. We are planning on having this session once a month, it has really helped me think about moving more:)
Next week we are doing a session on setting goals, which should be another great morning.

Now that things are falling into place home/work now I can start concentrating on getting serious about losing this weight...which has really been on the back burner lately:(
Yesterday was a terrible day eating wise - when I was home I grazed the whole time...I wasn't even really hungry, I know it was boredom eating...I will have to be more aware of that!
But its a new day and I am starting fresh!!
My goal for today is not to snack at work...I have been eating way to many twiggy sticks lately:)

Well must go get ready for work..Hope you all have a great weekend, most of mine will be getting Jason all packed for camp, he is going to the grampians for a week!

Just a quick post to show you what I did this week:)

I had been meaning to get it done for ages...it feels so different:)

There was heaps of hair on the floor when it was finished...the hairdresser is going to send it off so it can be mde into a wig!

Looking at these photo's my back looks so wide....it is going to look much smaller real soon!!

It's been another busy week...getting heaps of hours at work which is great!

Things are more organised which is keeping me sane:)

It was Vic's birthday yesterday, so we went out for dinner and a movie on Friday night while the boys were at a cub sleepover...it was so great to have time together with no kids (doesn't happen very often!)

Had a bit of bad news last week, my little brother was the victim of an hit and run, he is ok, though a bit sore...and has had a bad headache ever since....it was very scary thinking that we could have lost him.

Thankyou for all your positive comments:)
Sorry it's taken a while to update - things have still been busy!

* At 5.43 this morning our Great Nephew (makes me feel old...lol)
Ravi was born in Hobart weighing 7lb 2oz after a very long labour - still waiting to see the photo's, but have been told he has lots of black hair!

* Work has been going well - I have been called in for extra shifts - which is great moneywise...but not much 'me' time happening...lol
I am so glad that I did quit that other job!!

* Weighed in this week at 89 kilo's
I have decided that I am only going to weigh in monthly from now on as I find relying on a 'number' week to week is just to stressful..since if I have a badish week I tend to eat crap because I am depressed about it!
So I will still go to my weekly group, as I do need the support I get from all the lovely ladies - but I have asked them to keep my book, and when I weigh in they won't tell me the number till the start of each month:)

*This week I brought three notebooks and a little diary that fits into my handbag.
One book is to write the family meal plans - aswell as a weekly shopping list
One is to write my food diary in, as I have been really slack lately, and the other one is for bills owing and other bits and pieces, for example things Jason needs for camp, birthday presents ect
So now there is no excuse for me not being organised!!!

Well i have a ton of housework to get done...so must get to it - Hope you all are having a great long weekend!!

Overwhelmed....

The last few weeks have been very stressfull. I am normally an extreamly organised person - and due to working two jobs, any trace of organisation has gone flying out the window...which stresses me out big time. Plus I have felt so guilty not being able to spend time with hubby and the kids, aswell as having the housework in order...how do you full time working mums do it???

So... as of yesterday I have quit the coffee shop!!! I felt so bad telling the owner, but it was just getting to much, even though I enjoyed working there...I really need to put my family first:) She was quite shitty about it...but theres not much I can do about it:)
I am still working in the deli, four days a week (they gave me an extra friday shift), but the hours are more family friendly.
So now I will have more time to follow the meal plans I have been writing up each week (and not using!) drinking more water and getting back to moving my arse!
I have not weighed in for 3 weeks now (as I was working on weigh in days) but I know that I have gained...coming home late the last thing on my mind was exercising or cooking dinner - so we opted for quick and easy *cringe*. Hubby even 'helped' by getting takeaway if I wasn't home yet.

I am sick of this tired feeling, having a constant headache, from eating crap and just feeling so fat!!
I am at the highest weight that I have been at for years..which is really depressing!!

I need to make more of an effort....because I really want to lose weight, I am not happy at my current weight, and I am the only one who can change this situation!!

Sorry for the ramble....hope you are all having a great weekend:)
