OMG Jayne, that dress is amazing!! How did you go trying it on?? I LOVE the jacket she wears in the video too. Honestly, i wouldn't bat an eyelid if his manager came to me and explained that you were in this situation and needed to spend x more to make sure you get something decent in time. So long as its not a ludicrous increase of course. I am surprised they aren't paying for schooling too? We just acknowledge upfront that expats are going to cost us a fortune, especially if they have families! I've always wanted to be one, it seems like a fantastic deal IMO! Hope you get into the complex, it sounds great and like you would get a lot of support from others in the same situation too.

Onyx- PMSL at your challenge, i lasted a whole 6 mins on the rower today... Wow that was hard work! I got to 1k and it was just too much, my shoulder started aching and i jumped off! Maybe next time i will try for 2ks? Good luck with the nutritionist! I have never heard of a bodyvive class? What are you supposed to do? I have a very funny image of you all running around holding the balls and generally looking pretty silly!

AFM- I was very please to get back to the gym this morning, so much so i even ran LOL. I did a 1k warm up run, about 8 weight machines, 1k row, 20 mins of running intervals and walking in between and then 10 min bike ride. I am getting approx 3ks of walking in on my working days as well and still doing a boxing session on saturdays with a trainer. Not too bad, i would like to do a bit more, DF keeps asking me to come to soccer training with him so i might give that a go too.

Also, i jumped on the scales this morning and don't know what to think. Monday was a ridiculously high number, so i am reluctant to agree that this mornings number was right either? We had a massive burger at opera bar yesterday after seeing DD's show, and then had ice cream in circular quay which i am estimating at at least 1200 calories when you combine them, but we did walk about 7-8kms around the city to get to the opera house, then up to the observatory and all the way to town hall to get DF a tripod for his camera, so maybe its right? Especially since i had no time for lunch this week and have kept to well under 1200 calories. Ok, thats it! I have convinced myself, i am taking it as a correct weight and going to say i am now 90.7kgs, which is a total loss of 12kgs! Watch out Raupe, i am catching up to you! Almost half way to my next goal of 88kgs

Hope everyone else is having a good week!
