animania!

another not so bad week... think the only bad thing was that supreme pizza on sunday night? when most other shops where shut and i felt really sick... pizza was the only thing that didnt make my stomache turn over.. past couple days havent been good.. either had guests over or on friday night had huge migrane ouch! so only did 1/2hr on bike and thought id get to it later at night but i felt like i had been hit over the head with a frying pan! my neck and my shoulders were so tense and painful... a hot shower and bed at 8.30 helped alot.. so no bike over the weekend? i think.. but did an hour yesterday so should get back into the swing of things soon! Got a new game 'Harvest moon, a wonderful life special edition' pretty cool, much cooler than the old playstation 1 version.. on the plus side i did finish the 'hello kitty, roller rescue' game.. i was shocked i thought it would get harder and that there was more to the game.. but thats cool just means Tia can play it in a few years time.. *sigh* been stressed and excited. have just heard about a few conventions on in sydney! one being animania, sydney town hall over the long weekend sat/sun. Going with hubby and Tia, probably stay overnight somewhere.. we are all going to cosplay (costume play) and so i have alot of work to do.. alot of sewing and stuff! decided that i will go as this character, Kokoro from Dead or Alive 4 (video game)its very pretty and just involves making a kimono (easy peasy) and then painting the flowers on (as theres no way the fabric exists) been studying pictures of her and what other people have come up with and picking out their mistakes.. so i hope not to make the same ones! i will have geta (the shoes) but not that high.. as its an art to walk in them. So animania will be cool, a few other cosplayers.. and video game lovers and anime lovers all in the one place! I will have to pretend to be not so camera shy too.. Tia i think will cosplay in the same outfit, only much smaller.. LOL! we make theese plans then james calls his mum and she says they will be down in the last week of september! When we plan to spend the last day(s?) of that last week in sydney. they are comming down and spending time in sydney and then would be comming up to see us. Well that put a bit of stress on me, as we have no clue when they are comming down and we already have plans. but james says that we have made plans and will stick with them! and we can always see them down in sydney! (but i think they want to go up anyways to see all their old church friends!) anyways my birthday is comming soon.. will be 24 this year? oh gosh, like i have a clue.. will have to get the calculator out to make sure.. i dislike getting older but since living with hubby we are becomming one another! eep! he now has a love for food and my cooking.. and i'm slowly not caring about my age and dates as such.. altho i do try and go all out when it comes to Tia's birthday.. but maybe that goes for all parents?! hmmm the date was wrong on my phone, so that explains why it went off on the weekend (when it wasnt programmed to) and why it didnt go off this morning (when it was meant too) so we woke up a bit late.. only 8.30am.. altho hubby is meant to start at 8am!!! oops! im glad his work needs him soo badly (its not the first time this has happened) anyways its all gray and cold... and have alot left too do.. been very busy! cya

let me think for a sec

well.. 1st rant for today: Since when is it called a peace rally when aussie lebanese shout "down! down! USA!"????!!!! thats not a chant for peace! geez! Well i havent reported since day 3 of trying my hardest! Let me think of how well i have or havent done.. hmmm well no doubt weekends are very tough! Exercise for the week: [Exercise Bike] mon & tues 1hr wed 45mins thurs 1hr 10 fri 1/2hr sat 1/2hr sun 1/2hr I didnt have a 'rest' day i was very worried that id have that 'rest day' and then have some more 'rest' days! I know just doing one form of exercise isnt the greatest but im so darn lazy it will have to do until i really get bored or start enjoying exercising! I figured that on rest days you arent exactly meant to sit on the couch all day either.. and so by doing a few 1/2hrs it was pretty easy on my tender butt and sore legs and kinda made them not so sore anymore (if that makes sense) I will confess ive been weighing each morning and pretty darn peeved! keep seeing 87! darn it, im doing really good and exercising my lazy butt and no rewards yet.. "patience my young padawan"~ yoda so saturday: sausage egg mcmuffin, 1/2 hash brown, 1 sesame snap, 1 mini mar bar cheesecake, homemade lean burger n salad and tonight a mexican potato dish and a skim mocha caramelatte.. sunday: 1 fluffy pikelet whipped cream and strawberries, 5 smarties?, beef minute steak and salad roll, roll with lite marg, 1 chuppa chup, 1 chicken sweet chilli sauce n lite sour cream tortilla n salad. so not great, but they are by far my worst days all week and i did pretty darn well good. considering!!!!!!!!! DARN FUNDRAISER CHOCS!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! They drove me insane BUT i DIDNT have ANY! OH MY GOODNESS! me?! no chocolates?! Hubby has taken them to his work where they will stay and be bought! [$2 ea for: nestle crunch bar, peppermint crisp, aero bar, kitkat, kitkat crunchy, kitkat crunchy caramel, smarties, milo bar, violet crumble, milky bar] i did have like 5 smarties but Tia and james ate the rest of the box! tons of chocolate but none really any of my favourites and the only tempting one was 20% saturated fat! The milky bar had 10g of saturated fat (and more other fats) but my goodness. I did survive! yikes! And im so proud of eating all this salad stuff! LOL! On another note, my hubby is clearing out the garage. Its pickup week this week so everyones trashy old lounges and junk are out.. he threw out all his junky pieces of electronic things like bits of motors, copper wire, transistors, resistors but he kept the good stuff and gave a ton of magnets to Tia who would try to play with them and get mad coz they would just snap all together or something... i think i will be avoiding maccas for a very long time *fingers crossed* after reading that to burn off 1 big mac takes 1.5hrs cycling! so not worth that!!! anyways Tia is sleeping in (why cant she do this on the weekend?!) almost 9am i had better start getting stuff done.. oh. Tia has gone up a stage in toilet training by getting herself up on the toilet (without her little step n toilet seat thing) No accidents all weekend, even out shopping! Still along way to go, like her telling me she needs to go and the dreaded no.2s!

Day 3 of being good!

My head is still above water! Doing well! not really bothered bout the gain as i expect a nice loss next week with all this good eating and exercise i seem to be the old me again that could loose weight and keep away from macdonalds! speaking bout maccas. here they are trialing this new dinner menu of 'real food' like pasta and rendeng beef or pasta sauce or some sort of honey chicken but its all $7.95-$8.95.. and all microwaved! thats right. My brother has a friend that works at maccas and told him they have 9 new microwaves out the back to cook this new menu! And so no deli choices are available after 5.30pm! and then at the express maccas (closer to my house) they have none of the deli choices (only lean beef burger) and all the fatty quarter pounders and stuff.. whats going on?! so much for healthy choices! (not that i plan on going back for ages anyways!!!) but still im going to whinge! there! done! paris hilton, heard the song awhile back on www.news.com.au website.. pretty boring song, nice back-up singer!!!.. hope she does well with it.. watched her interview with molly on sunrise, cant the girl talk?! she just seemed to mumble her answers/replies.. odd. sugar/fat tax... do we really need to pay anymore taxes?! geez... only days ago it was alcohol tax fairly due to alcohol content of the drink to go towards helping people that are addicted to getting drunk... maybe there should be a methodone tax and a gambling tax and a desk job tax and a processed flour tax, a additives&preservatives tax... hell why not have a body rego day where you get a checkup and get fined for smoking, being obese, damaged liver, pos drug test, high insulin result/diabetes2??!!! why is it that only when our money disapears do we care what we are doing to ourselves?! tia is doing tons better with toilet training down to 0 or 1 accident a day, if she decides to have a nap (eep!) or if it regards a no#2.. she was pretty good with her potty so to make it easier we call the toilet 'the big potty' seems to work better than 'toilet' for her! whatever works i suppose! and to her it is a bigger potty!

weigh in for last week

the sooner my favourite season goes the better! i am on cold no.3 with cold no.2 just lurking with a rare wheezy cough. cold no.3 is a head cold complete with constant sneezing, sinus pain, tons of blowing my nose(ew) and watery eyes... (on sudafed stuff) and with too much macdonalds this week my weigh in is PW 85.8 CW 86.4 GW 70 on that yo-yo still, with of course myself to blame. no bike exercise all week and too much macdonalds! oh well, have to keep telling myself i am not giving up/taking a break from this. also have to tell myself constantly im not on a diet im just meant to be eating healthy 2 be healthy. and that going to an extreme is not healthy. from my LITS weigh in thread.. since i cant find it here on my blog
