Massive Support

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all your supportive comments last week on my "Your fat ay Mum" post. I do know that my little darling wasn't meaning it really and as they say "out of the mouths of babes".

Sick Friday with some sort of 24 hour bug (not very nice) but managed to perk up enough for a couple of wines at a friends house that evening.

Saturday Reece and I went to his school at 10am for a 'working bee' where he rode his bike around with all him mates and I got to do gardening (I HATE GARDENING) and have now realised that there are very big muscles at the back of your thighs (go figure) that I have NEVER used before.........oh the pain LOL. The weather turned to custard in the afternoon so we all just watched a DVD and played games.

Sunday I went and had brunch with my sisters as it was one of their birthdays and in the afternoon I took the kids shopping for a new pair of runners for Reece to wear to school as his last pair (only 4 weeks old) managed to get big holes in the toes...little monkey. Then took the kids back to the local school to ride their bikes on the tennis courts (again) and home for an early dinner, baths, bags packed for the following day and bed.

Did I mention last week that I was going to write down the amount of times I went to the loo as I was just amazed how often I now go (drinking approx. 3 litres of water)?
Well it worked out to be 21 times...........yep really! I have drank nearly a litre this morning and have already gone 5 times???? I have been brilliant with my water and drinking 2.5 litres on average everyday and my toilet trips aren't getting any less.....bugger, bugger, bugger.

I have also been tracking (a challenge Anne and I are doing) and can honestly say that I have been very good (apart from my sick day on Friday - couldn't face food) and keeping within my points, so I am hoping for great things tomorrow night at weigh in.

Right I have a bit to catch up on (blogs and work) so I'll be back tomorrow...bye

Your fat ay Mum?

These 4 words made me come crashing down to earth, they were spoken by my 5 year old which he innocently asked me yesterday on the way home from school.

It instantly brought tears to my eyes (as its doing now) because my "wake up" call to lose weight was when he was about 9 months old and at 126.3kgs I couldn't stay on the floor and play with him because I was overweight and everything ached (knees, stomach etc) and I vowed that I would lose this weight and never have him or his mates (tease him at school about a fat mother) think I was fat and what's happened???
Damn it, damn it!!!!!!!

I think I am more upset than angry by the fact that I decided to lose the weight and here I am 6 years later 29.5kgs lighter but still grossly overweight and pissing around when I could have been at goal YEARS ago if I had just stuck to the programme.

Well all I can say is - if THAT wasn't a wake up call, nothing was. I REFUSE to have my kids embarrased by me and from today (15/3/07) I am going to do what it takes to get this layer of flubber OFF ME!!!

I am going to put myself first for a god damn change and do what it takes. If I decide to exercise and there is something else on - TOO BAD - someone else can change their plans for me instead of me always changing my plans.

I have 34.6kgs still to lose to get to goal and I am giving myself to the end of the year to do it. I know there are a few of you who are shaking your heads and saying that I shouldn't be putting a time limit on it and extra pressure but I am a person who works to goals and loves a challenge and this is a challenge that I intend to keep.

41 weeks until Xmas which means I need to lose an average of just under 900grams a week..............WOW that's quite alot ay? It doesn't matter, I WILL DO IT.


WATCH THIS SPACE.........

Weigh in

Lost 600grams
Current Weight 96.8kgs
Total loss 13.5kgs

Happy with that BUT I had been very good this week and was sort of hoping for a kilo (never happy ay?) so when I got home last night I sat down and thought about why I always loose heaps the first few months and then it takes me months to loose a kilo or two................answer = Tracking!
Pure and simple, I do really well when I track and I mean really track, not guessing half of what I'm eating. So last night I rummaged through all my weight watchers stuff (and there's heaps of it...LOL) and found my 'Deluxe Tracker' and also got out my points guide and supermarket guide (thanks again Sue), and have written everything down for today (I'm at 15 points out of 20 already!) apart from dinner (only 5 points left but I have a WW meal in the freezer worth that) and am really suprised at what I am eating (points wise).
I eat WW cereal every morning but this morning I decided to go back to the 1/2 cup of milk and 30g of cereal and WOW what a difference! I was having nearly 3 times the amount I was aloud and still counting it as 1 serve. I've also noticed I 'forget' to count margarine and mayo for sandwiches etc which really adds up.

Righto so its "Back to Track" which is one of the BASIC things to do but I do forget the basics sometimes.

I have been brilliant with my water this week (approx 3 litres per day) and always feel so much better when I'm on track with that - clensed or something.
Exercise has been nearly non-existent and I still haven't tried the hydrorobics that our local pool run but I have got their timetable written out and up on my wall at work and home and am going to get to it on Thursday night.

This week is full on as I am taking and picking up both kids as Andrew has ANOTHER launch of a limited edition product (Hazelnut time-out bar) which runs for 3 days and then he has a 2 day 'focus' meeting so it is a very long week for him. He is doing about 12 or 13 hour days and then more prep work in the evening for the following day which doesn't make for a happy husband and Dad so me and the boys are keeping away from him.......LOL.

On a brighter note, a friends husband is going away for a few days so me and the kids (she also has 4 kids) are going over on Friday night for a pot luck dinner and drinkies which will be nice and relaxing. Andrew has a friend over the road so he is going to come and have dinner with us and then disappear for a few hours to his mates and pick us up when we are ready to go home.....noice!!

I'd best go and re-fill my water bottle.......see ya!

A new week

Had a lovely weekend, Andrew and I took the boys up to Harcourt Park where they have a paddling pool and huge playground area and spent a couple of hours there (boys were in the pool most of that time) and then went home for lunch. Dad and Andrew decided to get some more concreting done so that took up the rest of the afternoon and the boys and I did some colouring in and watched a DVD.

Sunday we took the kids back to the local school in our area so Reece could try out his new bike (2nd hand from his cousin because his Bob the Builder one is too little now) and also let Adam have a play on the old one (Bob the Builder bike) which we thought was too big for him and he wouldn't want to ride it BUT NO! He is a daredevil and was racing Reece and giving us both heart attacks because we don't have a helmet for him yet (getting one this weekend) so he was very upset when we told them we had to go home as we thought Adam was going to do himself a huge injury.
Photo's above.
Got home and the hubby went to golf and the kids had lunch on the deck (while Adam tried on Reece's bike helmet) and then Adam went for a sleep, Pop came in to watch the boys while I went out for a coffee with Helena, Jo and Rose.....bliss!

Had a HUGE ham salad for dinner, kids and husband's lunch made, bags packed for school, dishes done and into bed by 10pm.

Weigh in

Lost 200grams...........don't know how THAT happened but I am taking it!!!
Current weight 97.4kg
Total loss 12.9kgs

Right - I am sick of mucking around like I have been for about 4 or 5 weeks, so its back into it!!
I think my biggest downfall is exercise (I see you all nodding) so I am going home tonight to talk to Andrew about getting a better routine for ME.

In the mornings I usually take Reece and he takes Adam which really limits me as he has to start at a certain time and has to be picked up at a certain time so I figure if I take both kids in the morning and Andrew picks them both up in the afternoon, that will leave me time to do my exercise after work *shrug*, we'll see.

But I am very motivated (again) and am determined to GET THIS RIGHT!!!

Other news:
Ummmmmmm nothing really, just plodding along with work and kids and housework - ya know, all the exciting stuff......LOL

The Fair is over

...........and I managed to only spend $10 on a hand towel with New Zealand on it for my sister in OZ (boring). I did try to spend more money but there just wasn't anything that took my fancy, even my girlfriend kept her money in her wallet and we only managed to spend money on food which wasn't from the fair as the cue's were anormous!

We arrived Friday afternoon and went to a lovely little cafe in Greytown (Corner Cafe) and had a yummy lunch (I had a CLT which is a chicken, lettuce and tomato sandwich thing....lovely) and then headed to our Motel which I booked off the internet on Wotif.com as it was nice and cheap and it was FLASH. We then headed off to good ole Pak N Save and got our supplies (cheese, hummus, dips and crackers) and also some dinner (sushi) and headed back to the motel, unpacked our groceries and booze (bourbon for me, Vodka for Sue) and away we went....
Got to be about 1am after watching trashing E TV.

The fair was very average and I must admit that I won't be going back anytime soon.

Got home Saturday afternoon about 2.30pm.

Took Reece to see 'Happy Feet' at the movies and I had a ball and really enjoyed the movie, Reece got a bit scared in one or two places and HAD to go to the toilet 3 times but all in all a nice one on one time.

Andrew and I then took the kids down to one of the local schools with the boys bikes (Reece is still learning to ride his bike with no trainers) and a frizby and tennis ball and bats and had a really good time playing with the kids.

Andrew and his mate then went golfing at about 5pm and I managed to get the kids feed, bathed and in their PJ's by 6.30pm............rrrrrrrrr lovely weekend.

Stupidly forgot my camera which is a shame because there were definate 'candid camera' moments with Sue and I............LOL

Girlie weekend

Well I have 40 minutes left at work before I bugger off with a girlfriend over the hill (Rimataka hill that is) and spend the afternoon dropping our gear off at the motel we are booked into and then finding a yummy cafe for lunch and then exploring Masterton shops. Out for dinner and drinks............yeah baby!

Tomorrow is the Martinborough Fair which I am really looking forwar too as I haven't been for a few years.

Yesterday I finally caught up with my mate Jo which is an effort these days as both of us are really busy with work, family etc but it was awesome to see her.
We went to -wait for it- Mitre 10 Mega and both had a coffee and a chicken salad (shock horror!), it was lovely as usual.

I also had a thing at school with Reece and his teacher that the school calls 'goal setting' which is quite cool really, we all look at previous work and then all discuss what we think should be looked at for this year to improve. Reece loved having 'buy in' and was quite the 'little man' telling us that he finds it hard to concentrate when kids are running around and making noise or can't sit on the mat for too long because he gets bored etc so that's one goal which he is to learn - concentrate on what he is doing etc.....I actually had quite a bit of fun with it and because he made some of the suggestions the teachers reckon it really works.

Right, I'm off......

Not much else to report really, I'll talk to you all next week........bye

I'm back

What a lovely break I had, I just love Gisborne :)

Took Friday off work to pack which was nice and relaxed while kids were at school/daycare.

Got to bed quite late as we packed the car that night for a 3.30am start the following morning, managed to sleep in and left at 5.30am....oops!
Unveiling was at 11am and we caught the last 5 minutes of it (no drama there) and then back to the hotel to unpack. Over the grandads house to see everyone and then back to the hotel to get ready for the massive 60th and 30th combined.

Andrew had had a few drinks with his Uncles and cousins at his grandfathers house earlier in the day so didn't feel like drinking that night (bonus for me) so he drove the kids home after dinner. The meal was 'to die for' as my mother in law had caught paua and crayfish and made cream paua (ate WAY to much of that) and then there was fry bread, stuffing, potato bakes etc and 1 salad that was only touched by one person - you guessed it - ME - .......hahahaha

I then proceeded to get totally trashed with my sister and sister in law and most of Andrew's cousins. After my 8 bourbon and cokes I then got given something called an Archer (gin or vodka with a mix???) and ended up on beer (I hate beer)....not good.

Andrew arrived back at around 1am and I was on the dance floor doing my impersonation of the world's best dancer *cringe* and was also singing at the top of my voice (god help me).

Sunday was very 'quiet' with lots of panadol plus most of the family (those who travelled) went back home and we sat around with the remaining family and caught up (nice).

We left Monday morning (approx. 10.30am) and had a nice easy drive home with the kids, stopping at parks and for lunch. I think we arrived home around 6.30pm, unpacked the car and collapsed in front of the TV.

Tuesday morning and I was up early to get the kids off to school/daycare and as I had the day off, I got most of the washing done and the house back in order before I headed for the shops to get this weeks mags and a BIG trim latte and sat down in the foodcourt for some 'me' time.........bliss!

Back at work today and it isn't as bad as I had feared (bonus!).

Right, I'm off to go have a read and see what you have all been up to....bye.

P.S. After the HUGE amounts of food I ate over the weekend, I didn't go to weigh in last night as I just couldn't face those scales.

2nd post for the day

Hi again,

Just thought I would let you know that I am off work tomorrow (packing) as we are off to Gisborne and won't be back until Monday but I won't be back at work until Tuesday (unpacking - washing) and since I post from work, I won't be back for about 5 days.

Can't wait to get back and catch up with everyone.

C ya!

Photo's

I haven't added photo's to the new blogger so I don't know where they will go but I will tell you what each of them are now.

Adam (2.5 year old) getting very dirty eating his ice-cream.

Reece (5 year old) reading his brother a Thomas the Tank Engine book at bedtime.

My new watch Andrew got me in Aussie (just love it).

My dinner last night, salad, yoghurt and herb dressing, extra mango chutney and a chicken, brie and mango chutney panini.........divine.

I was really flat at work yesterday and tried to work out why because I had had a decent sleep and then I remembered I hadn't taken my multi-vitimins or my flaxseed and omega 3 & 6 pills (I'm a regular healthy store junkie) and I only had about 1.5 litres of water so today I have taken my pills (8am) and have drank nearly a litre of water already. Lets see if that will help, I'm sure it will.

Weigh in

1.2kg GAIN.....piss, bugger, bum! Current weight 97.6kgs, total loss 12.7kgs.
As you all know its my own fault (read last post) so all I'm going to say is, it really is a pain when you loss weight each week with a 200g or 600g loss but when you put on it is always HUGE, that'll teach me.

Moan over!

I got home after weigh in to another lovely BBQ compliments of my hubby and it was too die for. We had garlic/honey prawns, steak, chicken kebabs and sausages with a HUGE lettuce salad and curried eggs....yum, yum, yum.

I also finally got to the card/scrapbook place called 'Scrapbook Central' and all I wanted to do was go in and find out when their next card maker class was on but I spent over an hour in there just looking at all the different things they had, it was really cool. Originally I wanted to just do a card making class but I am now thinking of doing a scrapbook class as well and there were some beautiful examples all over the place and it gave me millions of ideas.

Update: Just to clarify (Chris_h), no I didn't eat prawns, steak, chicken kebabs and sausages that was what was on offer. I had salad, 1 chicken kebab, left over kids sausage and about 6 prawns....yummo

Why oh why?????

After the chinese on the weekend you would think I would stop there as weigh in is tonight but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I had about 4 slices to many pieces of TOAST bread with dinner last night and then went to bed early 8.45pm only to be woken up at 11.30pm by a sick child and ended up eating ANOTHER cherry ripe chocolate bar while trying to put my sick child (Adam) back to sleep. Adam is fine today by the way, don't know what last night was about?

THEN I had a HUGE bowl of cereal for breakfast (at least it was cereal and not toast) and a HUGE ham and salad sandwich all by 10.15am and it is now 2.35pm and I haven't had a trickle of water pass my lips *sigh*. Plus I haven't done any exercise and the only excuse I have had is 'Andrew's away, I don't have time'....rubbish RACHEL!!!!!

Sabotage that's what it is and I do it to myself everytime I get in Coe-e of my lowest weight. I really thought I was past all of this and that I was happy eating the right foods and doing my exercise etc but there is still something in my head that gets this attitude that I have done so well I can ruin it all and go back to my old bad eating habits. As I'm eating I am telling myself off and feel like crap afterwards but does that stop me?......Noooooooo.

So I'm expecting a gain, more than likely a big one.

Why do I do this??????
I suppose if I new that I wouldn't be in this predicament ay?

I'll be back tomorrow to update my weight.......gggrrrrrrrr


I just re-read this post and I sound depressed and pathetic which I know I'm not, I just needed to get that off my chest. I actually feel much better once I have 'told' everyone what I have been doing and not getting on here and saying 'everything is just rosy blah blah'.

Right I'm off to drink some water.

He's home........

Here are my Valentine's flowers:




Yep the boy is home and glad to be by the sounds of it. He didn't enjoy Australia which isn't any great suprise to me, the humidity was a killer and he was crook most of the time (stomach).
He bought me a beautiful gold watch as mine went on the blink last year and also got the boys an outfit each and some kiddies sunglasses (very cute).
He also bought me my ALL TIME FAVOURITE chocolate CHERRY RIPE which Cadbury's don't make in NZ (they have off and on in the past) and when I lived in Australia it was a weekly treat.

I had a really busy weekend which started with my girlfriend and her 4 kids staying on Friday night. We ordered Chinese for dinner and ended up eating it for breakfast and lunch the next day as we had ordered WAY TO MUCH.
Saturday I got my hair cut and coloured.....yay!
Saturday night was very quiet which was bliss as I had been waiting for a quiet night since the boy left (finally got it the night before he got home).
Sunday morning we just played outside (the weather here is incredibly gorgeous at the moment) and we went and picked up Andrew in the afternoon, BBQ for dinner, lunches made for the following day, bags packed and everyone in bed before 10pm..........gotta love that!

My other lab chic is away today so I am all by myself and it always amazes me how much work I get done when I am on my own. I'm hoping to get home and then pile everyone in the car off to the swimming pools so I can try out my flippers.

Weigh in tomorrow night and I have sabotaged myself yet again, I also seem to get within a 'hop skip and a jump' of virgin fat and I fall apart and go back to my unhealthly eating habits (hence the chinese and chocolate)....so I'm not going to be too suprised with a gain (hopefully a small one).

Single mother ...........

I had a shocking morning, Reece slept with me and wet the bed. Adam woke up in a foul mood and wouldn't get dressed or eat his breakfast so I had to practically hold him down with him kicking and screaming while I dressed him and then through him in the car without breakfast.
Reece also wouldn't eat his breakfast because I wouldn't turn the TV on .......... stubborn little so and so. Ended up with 2 boys in the car either crying or arguing with me and it was just FABULOUS dropping them off this morning. I did think maybe they were missing their Dad (been gone 3 days) but then dismissed that idea when this conversation happened just before I dropped Reece off at school

Me: Do you miss Dad sweetie, is that why your being naughty this morning
Reece: Nah, Dad's been gone for ages now and I'm over missing him
Me: Only 2 more days and he will be home
Reece: Oh Man then I'll have to sleep in my bed again, can't he stay longer?


hahahahahaha............5 year olds crack me up!

Another girlfriend of mine is coming around with her 4 kids for Chinese takeaways tonight as her hubby is also away (hers for a weeks already).

I am finding it practically impossible to do everything and fit in exercise which is a bad excuse but an honest one, mind you I did go to Westfields Shopping Centre last night for 1.5 hours and went and bought 3 magazines, a trim latte and a packet of sushi and sat down in the Foodcourt and relaxed...........bliss!

The day after Valentines day

I just love Valentines Day and my hubby and I are really romantics. I slipped a soppy valentines card (with love voucher) into his suitcase the night before he left and he got it yesterday (Valentines).
I in turn got several phone calls and texts from him yesterday from Oz telling me how much he loves me THEN when I arrived home with the kids a big bunch of gerbera's (spelling?) were waiting for me with a beautiful valentines card that he had written in (he's soppier than me) that he'd taken to the florist before he left to have added to the bunch of flowers. I moan and groan about him sometimes (that's normal right?) but I do love him and I know he loves me.
I did take a photo but haven't downloaded it yet.

Right enough of the flowery stuff back to reality.

The kids got baked beans on toast for dinner (their favourite) and I had left over salad on sandwiches. My eldest sister came over as her hubby is in Auckland for work and after I got the kids off to bed, we sat there for hours just gasbagging. It was really nice because it is very rare that we get to do that as there are usually kids (mine and hers) around or the husbands and so you can never really get in a good ole gabble fest!

I didn't get to the card making place yesterday so I am aiming for today or even this evening (late night) as Dad is going to watch the kids for me after dinner so I can go and have a wander around Westfields shopping centre (just because).

Helena mentioned in her last comment that maybe one of the reasons that we are doing so well at the moment is all the water we are drinking and I have to say I think she is 100% correct.
I even feel more sluggish on the days I'm not drinking at least 2.5 - 3 litres which is a good indication that the water is really helping.

Weigh in

2.1kg loss which brings me down to 96.4kgs (100 grams off my lowest weight for years - roll on virgin fat) total loss of 13.9kgs since August 2006.
Gotta say I'm pretty happy about that, I have been great with my food choices (apart from the poker night) and my water has been excellent (average of 3L per day).

I got home from weigh in and had a yummy BBQ of chicken kebabs, a sausage and a huge salad.
Andrew told me it (my loss) was well deserved and how proud he was of me for doing so well and that it was really noticable now which is HUGE for him as he usually doesn't say anything.

Valentines Day today and I slipped a card and love voucher *wink* into his suitcase (thanks for the reminder Becks). Andrew left for Aussie for 5 days this morning (3.20am).
Also my Mum's birthday.

I'm going for a walk at lunchtime to a 'card making' place which isn't far from work to find out when their classes are and what I will need to bring with me. Kate put me onto the Make a Child Smile website which asks you to send cards to very sick boys and girls around New Zealand to lift their spirits (fantastic idea!...........thanks Kate) and I thought I would make individual cards for each child.

When I was at my mates house on the weekend her husband heard me saying that I was going to get some flippers for swimming and as he is a diver he wipped some out for me and told me I could have them if they fit.........well they did fit which is great but they are diving fins so they are quite long but I will give them a go anyway. I absolutely LOVE swimming but I need to concentrate on my strokes and breathing and I don't do that because I am always afraid I am going to sink........LOL so the flippers help take that stress away thankfully plus I reckon I will be able to get in more than 14 laps without having a major heart attack.

Considering I feel I did really well this week, I look at my steps and they look quite pathetic.

Lovely weekend

Beautiful weather again in Wellington which was excellent for all of us as we spent 90% of the weekend outside, BBQ's, waterslides etc..............loved it!

Friday night Andrew and I went to his mates house for a poker night which he had been avoiding as he just didn't want to go to. As he is off for a week this week to OZ he didn't want to leave me for a night on the weekend as well before he left so was going to get out of it when his mate rang but when his mate did ring he said "Are you and Rach still coming?", oh I was invited.....cool! Off we went and there was 8 of us (4 boys and 4 girls) and the boys were all very proffessional telling us how to play (Texas something or other it was called?) as none of us girls had ever played. Guess who was left on the table after an hour? Yep, all 4 girls and the boys were outside sulking..........hahaha After another 4 hours myself and the Hostess were left playing and as it was 1am by this time and we had an audience (boys) standing behind us telling us what to do (as if we would listen to them...LOL) we split the pot (we all put in $10 each) and went home. I had an absolute ball and can't wait for the next poker night (if the boys invite us again).

Saturday was just hanging around the house, housework, playing with the kids in the sandpit etc.

Sunday I went to a girlfriends in the morning for about 3 hours as she has been in Raro for a month and our kids and her kids were busting to see each other.

And that about sums it up..........borning ay? Just how I like it!

New blog (beta)

Well I have changed to the new beta blog because I went to log in and I didn't have an option to go to my normal blog, I had to change..............oh well we will see if it makes any difference.
I have had a quick read and it sounds userfriendly but we will see. I remember someone saying that they couldn't leave comments on other peoples posts once they had changed so I am hoping that's not the case *shrug*.

Don't have much planned for my weekend which I just LOVE.

I have a really busy week next week as Andrew is going to Aussie for 5 days with his company (soooo jealous!!) so I will be doing the 'single' parent thing but the boys are really good so I'm not stressing (yet!).

Hope everyone has a great weekend, its 4pm and I AM OUTTA HERE (work that is)!

No Weigh in

As it was a public holiday here (Waitangi Day) there was no Weight Watchers on unfortunately.
So no results until next week (that seems soooooooooooo far away).

Back at work today and it is still lovely and sunny outside.
I got in late today as it is the first day back at school for Reece. He was really excited and we got there to meet his new teacher and find his new class.

I just want to say that I have been reading everyones blogs but blogger won't let me leave any comments. So I just wanted everyone to know that I am reading but 9 times out of 10, I can't leave a comment at the moment.

Yay it's Friday...

I just love Friday's. It is a beautiful day in the Capital of New Zealand and I'm hoping it stays that way ALL weekend (don't burst my bubble if you know differently.

Its 3.45pm and I'm leaving in 15 minutes as I have to drop my Mum's car off to get a new Cam belt (ouch) and Andrew is picking me up so we then have to go and get Reece's Stationary stuff for school next Wednesday and I think I will stop somewhere for a trim latte (just because).

Apart from catching up with some friends on Sunday for a coffee and gas bag, I don't have any plans for the weekend. If its nice I will hopefully get a BBQ in and invite some friends around *shrug* dunno, we'll see.

I had sushi for dinner last night....................YUM!!

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend......ta ta
