In case you missed it in the post below, I ate very high in fat foods. I didn't make good choices when out and the only liquid I drank was coffee and wine (+ 1 margarita) which means I didn't drink any water apart from the glass I had Sunday morning with a berroca added.
I didn't once think about it, I ate and drank what I wanted, I had a fabulous time but know THAT'S IT now. I have had 2 weekends away and I am ultimately going to pay for this one on the scales this week (like I did with last week) but I don't mind as I had a blast.
BUT - today is Monday and I am back into it. My bowl of cereal this morning was the best thing every and I have had 2 litres of water already and feel fantastic.
OK, original post below
PEACE OUT ;0)
HAD A FANTASTIC TIME
LOVE AUCKLAND
Jo and I arrived Friday (lunch time) and hit the shops on K'Rd and Queens St, didn't buy anything apart from food (panini and coffee) but got in a few hours and were truely amazed at some of the sights (people, fashion).
Jax arrived at about 6.30pm and we downed a bottle of wine (or two) and nibbled on cheese and crackers then headed out to Thai for dinner and again ended up looking at the sites on K'Rd (boy/girls with REALLY high heels and sleezy pubs and young boys hugging in the streets.....very sad some of it).
HOME BY 10.30pm...............LOL nana's.
Saturday we were all awake at 6.45am (WTF???) so got up, had a coffee and some panadol and berroca and chatted until about 9am and then headed to a nice cafe on Ponsonby road. I had corn fritters with bacon and mushrooms which was devine.
Headed to St Lukes Mall as we all prefer malls to street shopping and I managed to get a really funky top (in picture to follow) and I loved it but did feel like I had stepped out of an Austin Powers movie (groovy baby) and of course a nice new bra to go with it. We walked around that mall for nearly 6 hours and all got nice new clothes and Jo and I went for a pedicure (forgot we had sneakers on and walked around for an hour with no shoes.....hehehe thank god we didn't know anyone) and Jax got a head and neck massage.
Grabbed some sushi and went home and did the showers, make up and manicure (I have a kit) and got stuck into the cheese and crackers and wine again (I know, I know).
Headed out about 8.30pm to a really nice Mexican restaurant (we just got mains - I had a burrito thing with HEAPS of salad) and I had my very first Magarita (average).
We then headed to a bar/nightclub called Booey Wonderland (we have one in Wgtn as well) and it was OK but there were lots of smelly people (BO) and I HATE that so we mainly watched the goings on and then cabbed it home about 12.30am (better effort).
Sunday morning Jo had to leave on an early flight so we waved her goodbye and then headed down to the Viaduct harbour for breakfast at a place called Mecca which was beautiful and I managed to eat the Mecca Big Breakfast and two Bowls of trim latte.
We had parked about 500 metres away from the viaduct because we weren't paying $18.00 for an hours parking (I kid you not) and as we left the skies opened up and we got soaked and I mean soaked. Luckily we had checked-out of our hotel so all our clothes were in our bags in the car, so we high tailed it to Sylvia Park shopping mall and got changed in the carpark (the hair was a no go) before spending a few hours there (Thai again for lunch) and then heading towards the Auckland airport but having to stop at Manukau shopping mall.
Got to the airport at 3.15pm as I had to check-in at 3.30pm for my 4pm flight and was then told the flight was delayed until 5.10pm....gggrrrrr! We ended up leaving Auckland at 5.40pm and got in at Wellington at 6.40pm. The kids (who had driven their father mental all weekend *giggle* were all excited (as they had been at the airport for hours) and very tired as they hadn't eaten dinner so it was a quick trip to McDonalds on the way home (god I love Boss burgers) and walked in the door at 8pm last night.
FULL ON WEEKEND but BRILLIANT - Excellent company and just fun, fun, fun.
Unfortunately I kept forgetting to take my camera OUT with me but I managed to get a couple of shots of the girls and I in our room.
Me, Jax and Jo

owww your weekend sounds like loads of fun, and I grinned as I read you were at Sylvia Park as I would have been there at the same time. (having my nails done and shopping).
Then at the airport you would have been on the same plane as Warren (ex) who had Evianah this weekend but then got an emergency call saying he had a job at wgtn hospital and needed to get down there immediately. (so I had to run and get Evianah off him so he could fly out).
Parking costs in Akl are horrific. I was in the Casino park on Saturday night and it would have cost $29 for 3 hours if I hadn't spent money at the restaurant and got a reduced rate. (daylight blimin robbery)
