Blasted spamming....

Am getting blasted with comment spamming so have put word verification on hoping that might help..... sorry about the hassle.

Met Janine and Sharon (Blondiebum) for lunch at Taupo yesterday, was really nice to catch up and though I had my camera I forgot to take pics..... bugga!!!!!!! remembered on the way home.

I have set up a weight loss chart for 52 weeks for next year, no goals just focusing on weight loss and whatever loss I have will be fantastic. Will weigh in Friday the 1st and then Fridays from then on, I am not putting a number up of what I weigh, I am only going to focus on what ever the loss may be well hopefully it will be mostly losses...... lol. I did weigh this morning and have actually lost 200 grams since last weigh in about a month ago lol.

Yesterday I got myself a couple of gym/walking T shirts, this week I will sus out the gyms and see what one I like if any, I also got myself a pair of last seasons New Balance walking shoes for only $60 I don't care that they were last seasons, today I need to grab a couple pairs of leggings and I am on my way again.... oh and also got another pair of walking socks... so no excuses :-).

Hahaha Blondie no not up early to go walking....... but did just update the training schedule for the half marathon in 9 WEEKS for training to begin next week lol.

I am a Rotoruaian.....

Yes I know that is not a word but hey....

Anyway am here and apart from the 100 banana boxes in the garage we are looking somewhat normal, will be nice when the lounge suite arrives this week hopefully as David's went back on the truck to his sisters who is buying it.

The shift went well a long busy day but nothing broken :-).

Anyway next week or even later this week, I need to focus on the exercise again, am not sure if I will join the gym or just walk for a while.... will check out the gym tomorrow maybe.....

Have a yummy silverside in the crockpot ready for dinner, so better go and make a salad with it - have a great day/night all :-)

Oh yeah lawyer rung and settlement day is Wednesday.

Last Post till after my new life begins.....

Unless something amazing happens.....

Lounge Suite: well still waiting to hear back, gave her to 5pm tonight to contact me, if have not heard back from her by then, then I will donate to the Red Cross or somewhere... and give her a red face, first time I will have had to do that.

Today have Smith and Smith glass coming out to do my car window that got a stone chip in, so am using that time to mow the lawns and do outside. Yesterday cleaned all the kitchen cupboards.... tonight the kids beds go that sold on Trade Me so they will be sleeping on a stretcher for 3 nights.....

Tomorrow have the Red Cross Shop......

Thursday kids finish school early for end of year and I will start moving all the stuff left into the garage, and do another trip to Rotorua to drop of another car load of bits and bobs....and on Friday will finish loading up the garage with the big stuff ready for the van and drop the kids off in Paeroa for their weekend in Auckland.

Saturday it will all happen....... so see you on the other side next week :-)

Bits and Bobs.....

$5000 - if you had $5000 to spend on yourself on fitness/weight loss, what would you do???? - No I don't have it but have been reading Janine, Janene's and Jo's blog following there weight loss journey and getting jealous (a nice jealous though girls lol) of their weight loss successes. Anyway was talking to Lynise (so for those that read her blog yes she is still alive lol) yesterday and were talking about different options on what you would use 5 grand to help with weight loss......

I am thinking possibly a gym membership with a personal trainer once a week.... or maybe Jenny Craig for a year (give or take a few weeks as I have no idea how much the food is), any form of weight loss surgery is out, $5000 does not go near that bugger!!!!! Any other suggestions???

Today the kids and I are off to Rotorua for the weekend, will be the first time the kids have stayed there so wish me luck.

Oh and as for my lounge suite, in the auction I stated I would be away Thursday night till Sunday night so therefore pick up could not be in the weekend apologised for the inconvenience blah blah blah.... well the stupid bitch sent me an email containing the following....

Kia ora;
Will deposit money into act 2moro, I see that you wont be around until next week and you are
leaving this afternoon, any chance you can leave lounge suite somewhere so we can pick it up Saturday.
We have a garage sale on Sat morning and the truck that we have is coming from Matakana Island
and is going back that day as well, that would make things easier on our side, cost and transport wise.
Sorry for any inconvience, you can contact me on********

Fark I have tried ringing her and never around, so she can contact me as they have my details I should not have to be wasting my time trying to get hold of her.... asked the neighbours if they would be around they are not, have no where to leave it so sent a semi polite email back saying it was stated in the auction I would not be around and that she has until Thursday morning 11am to pick the flippin thing up. Stupid bitch I had heaps of watchers and bidders.... if she does not pick it up it will be donated to the Red Cross Shop.... ggggrrrrr people like that piss me off...... she should have asked this bloody question on the auction before bidding...... might make things easier for her but it wont for me and I am not bloody driving back just for her besides I sent an email yesterday morning asking for a time and she has not even bothered to get back to me.... vent over.

Wii fit - opinions please are they any good, have done a bit of research on them, they say it is not a really a fitness tool to replace the gym etc but should be used as an add on on to a proper fitness program. Am thinking of possibly getting one, the balance board goes holds a weight of up to 150 kilos, so am ok there. I know when I had the eye toy we burnt up a few calories just mucking around... so many decisions......

I am so looking forward to Christmas this year I have the kids for the day, and David and I will do a nice bbq breakfast with them then open presents as a family.... then we will head of to my sisters for lunch. Have decided that the years I have the kids (every 2nd year) we will spend with my family and alt years we will spend with his family when I don't have the kids.

Anyway might try and get some more sleep, catch you over the weekend maybe, else I will catch you next week :-)
