I can do the updates for you if you like ZF
Tha would be wonderful hun, if everyone is happy to PM you then we still get an overall tally.:
I didn't get many PM's this week so maybe if everyone can PM you their up to date stats
perfect, I await your PM's people :D
ZF - I can do tomorrow hun, 9.30 isn't it? Whoop!
We've been meeting at 9 (i think) and then going for our walk and then going to the library.. i think thats right.. am loosing my mind today. KATE where are you :)
9's good for me! Doesn't matter if its later. See you in the morning :)
Traveller: I’m so glad to hear that! :hug:
PacRakMG: I usually buy the wholemeal pasta at Woolworths or Foodland (whatever shop is closest at the time really!). It’s right next to the normal pasta (usually to the right of it), but they only have wholemeal penne, spaghetti and lasagne sheets (well, at my local shops anyway). We have all three at home lol. So you do have to look for it, I usually miss it and have to look twice before I see it! It usually ‘blends in’ with all the other packets. :lol: Good luck
ZF: Hope things will calm down soon. Do you want us to pm our stats to Traveller now or wait until Monday after our weigh in?
AFM: Well, today I went SHOPPING!! With DP’s debit/credit cards....mwahahahaha!!! Bad idea, my friend. Bad idea. :lol: It was one exciting day. I WAS going to buy chrissy presents...but...I bought myself more presents than anyone else! :rofl: So, it all started with one swimsuit I tried on (I want to start swimming again – great way to lose some booby fat! And those “wings” aka arm flab.). Yep, next to bras most likely the most depressing thing EVER to shop for. My top half squeezes out of all corners and my butt just swims in all the fabric. :shakehead: I don’t have a “normal” body type apparently. So after trying on some more (umm, around 20ish) I finally found one that wasn’t too expensive, fits ok and flattens your stomach/waist etc. I JUST managed to squeeze said boobies into the top bit... just to discover that it is a halter neck (sp?) one. :wall: My neck can’t handle all that weight! They are roughly four kilos! It felt like the strap was about to sever my head from my body lol. HOWEVER, I realised that it was a tie up halter. So I can un-tie it and sow the straps to the main body, so I have normal shoulder straps! Woohoo! Well done, brain! Good thinking :D
So after that success I found some nice exercise pants, a matching top, a sports bra (too small but who cares), a tight crop top to wear under my sports top (thanks appletree) some training socks hehe and and some comfy training underpants! I just washed my runners, so now I am officially ready for my running :o ! Well, I just have to get under 90kg first.... So excited!!
Oops, that was a bit long. Everyone wake up!! Hehe Raupe’s storytime has fished!
Good job Raupe!! I hate shopping for bathers too and I hear you on the halter necks. I try to get two piece sets now, shorts for my butt and a singlet for the top, find that works well for me. Thanks for the tip on the wholemeal pasta, I've had a look at Woolies, but will have another next week when I go again.
Today I did the Zumba workout again!! Whoop! Managed to get to the 11 minute mark today before I was sweating :rofl: My calf muscles are really tight, one side more than the other, woke up that way, so must have favoured one side yesterday. Tonight we're having schnitzel and salad for dinner. I put the schnitzel in the oven instead of frying it, so no oil is needed and they taste better. Hope you're all having a good day!
Thabks PRMG! Good job on the exercise!
Did I put everyone else to sleep with my long story? :D You're all so quiet!
I finally did my sit-ups yesterday... And I'm not feeling that sore today. :p
Oh, and about that roast capsicum and tomato soup recipe: I was wondering how you roast the capsicum? Lol, I've never roasted my capsicum before, but really want to try it. Do you just chuck it in the oven? What degree? Do you turn them? Leave 'em until the skin is black and then remove the skin? Or take them out earlier and leave the skin on?
ROFL Raupe- that is exactly what i do when christmas shopping! I come away with a million things for myself and end up with no money left to buy presents! LOL. Ummm, what are exercise undies??
Bugger, DS just woke up! I had less than a minute after finishing cleaning to myself :( Grrrr.... Wait, he has stopped craying! Or maybe i just can't hear him over these incredibly loud ziccada's (sp?) Ah, they drive me nuts! I can't think straight.
Ok, nope, it was DS awake... Will have to come back later, going out tonight so it will probably be tomorrow before i get a chance to sit down on my own again
i feel like chocolate. And chocolate cake. And chocolate biscuits. And chocolate chocolate.
HELP!
Just being quick.. took a naughty peak at the scales today and i must say i was quite happy :dance:
PRMG - thanks so much for the compliment today hun, i was thinking what the.. i'm bending over the car of course i look like i'm shrinking... :rofl:
Thanks to Kate & PRMG for the walk, we did it quicker than usual and only really stopped once.. :dance:
Will come back in the morning when i have a little more time.. right now i finally got DD2 to bed so am air popping some popcorn and going to relax with DD1... big mummy cuddles coming her way.
Sorry Belfie, i might be a but late here!! My motto is to just have some! If i don't give in to the little things, i will blow a big one :):
Well, i went out for dinner tonight with two friends and am amazingly ****ed! Had the most delicious barramundi for dinner, plus a mango dessert and lots and LOTS of wine and champagne! DF is getting up to DS tonight which should be interesting, i am half thinking about sleeping downstairs tonight! If only we had a comfy couch... I of course looked amazing! Everyone was checking me out ;) DF almost didn't let me go...! Hahaha
Hooray ZF on the sneak peak! I am not expecting wonders this week, i have been eating dreadfully! i need to draw a line and move on :)
Raupe- no idea about the capsicum sorry, i am not a fan. Perhaps remove the seeds and bake with the skin on? I LOVE halterneck swimmers! I find they offer much more support, so long as the straps are thick? But then, i don't have your ginormous knockers :) Just semi ginormous ones! I swear i was taking some shots today of DS BFing and my boobs are twice as big as his head, its crazy! Cos he has an enormous head!
PRMG- awesome work at the zumba! Are you starting to get better at doing the moves? I think i might be improving, i feel like less of a dork nowadays ;) I find the dvd is a harder workout than the classes, not sure if that is due to the instructor? We have a fab one on thursday nights, she is in her 50's has a nice round belly and flabby arms and i feel right at home! I rarely crack a good sweat in her classes, but there are still things that i really struggle with! Yum i LOVE schnitzel, can i come to your house??
Ok, had better get some sleep, i can see DD's 9am gymnastics class being a real challenge for me tomorrow morning! Aaargh, and then we are spending the day house hunting as we need to find a new place before Feb 1, BOOOOOO....
ZF - No worries hun, you're looking great! DP better watch out when those woof whistles start :P
Belfie - I'm with appletree....if I'm craving it, I find I'm better off just having it. Relieves the craving and then its over, otherwise I just keep consuming. Oh and as Raupe taught us, when you do have it, enjoy it. If you're going to have something naughty, you may as well savour every mouthfull, otherwise it simply isn't worth it. That's the best advice I reckon I could've been given.
Appletree - I think I am getting better at Zumba. But then I catch my reflection and go :o. The instructor on the one I've been working on speaks in Spanish (I think), where the other three all have English translations, this one doesn't. Come for schnitzel anytime!! Sounds like you had a great night out.
Thanks again to Kate and ZF for the walk and the library, we both enjoyed that.
Last night DH and I took DD to our local Christmas carols. I packed some dips and crackers, but we couldn't resist the jam donuts on offer. Yum. It was great, they had a free petting zoo and the carols weren't half bad either. It was awesome just watching DD's face light up as the animals were walking around her, she had a ball.
hi girls, just checking in. everyone is doing so well!
i'm actually having thai tonight for dinner as it's our wedding anniversary, but sometimes you just have to celebrate these occasions and be good the rest of the time. right? LOL
hope evryone is having a good weekend :)
Happy anniversary Ginger! :hug:
Being NAUGHTY - Pizza for dinner tonight, DP's uncle is staying and was supposed to be here earlier in time for us to decide but nop he's just showed.. 40min wait for Pizza to be delivered... hmm NAUGHTY but damn i'm looking forward to it... gonna PIG OUT :rofl:
Then back to normaly tomorrow.. thats my decision.. mmm mmm mmm better not impact my results for Monday.. better bust out the ZUMBA DVD and give them a go sometime tomorrow :)
Yes peeps, savour every mouthful , but the next day you gotta work it!!
Sooo, I am known to be a very impatient person... so I couldn't wait to try out my new running gear!! :lol:
Yep, that's right, I went for a run. :o (as some STALKERS amongst you already know! Not naming anyone... APPLETREE! Lol I luv ya :hug:)
It went really well. I did "interval" training, so 5min jogging, then five minutes walking etc etc. I did this for about 45 minutes, then walked the last 15min before going home and doing my 100 sit ups!! :o Apparently I burned 585 calories!!! :o :o I can definitely feel it today :rofl: Ohhh the pain! :lol:
