March has been and gone lol

Yup and everything is still at a standstill....I keep saying this week is gonna be better but it isnt...I need too get back too the focus i had in Oct ...

Life with the boys has been a bit hectic of late the older they get the more and more demanding they are on you time god do i look forward too them going too school each day, they seem too bounce of each other and man its getting old fast! Ready for that looney bin I tell you! no matter we do they got a smart ass answer for everything and attitude too boot...Man if I spoke too my mother like that she would of slapped me into next week and I wouldnt sit down for a week lol...

Anyway on a positve note I have signed up for a online 4 week programme and seeing how that takes me, it does tips for nutrition as well :)

This world works in mysterious ways or is it a sign lol

What is it you wonder? Has she gone mad ?Is she taking her medication or does she need too lay off the purple pills.....snigger lol


It seems people left right and centre are appearing in my life and telling me things or is that a bad thing haha not only online in real life too hehe...

Another week has arrived and.......

unofficially the scales have gone up :(...the six week challenge has gone out the window and so are my good habits dam it :(

So I have decided I want too be 70kg by April 30th, but I am not going too beat myself up about it anymore, I know i can do it but I think the unnessary stress atm isnt helping so I am comfort eating :(

Oh an also today had a fun experience not...No brakes on my car, had too try and slow the car down by using the handbrake and putting it into park...Thank goodness hubby wasnt too far away had too get him too come help.

Yup been slack LOL - This is a vent/progress

Good Morning, weekend is nearly upon us and we have a bit of a busy weekend ahead , with birthday's and kids having friends over ...

Last Sunday we had a family meeting, as things have been getting out of hand with kids and behaviour(they use too be once a week), covered things like jobs/pocket money/behaviour. It ended up me in tears cos Braeden doesn't want too hear stuff and Kori my other boy was secretly trying too hold back tears too. Basically for months and months Braeden has become more defiant and demanding which entails long arguements most days, I have tried anything and everything you name it i have tried it...It is like banging against the wall at times. Ya make progress then bam its like you take ten steps back.
Bascially I feel he has trouble expressing himself with out loosing it, his temper is very much short fused, well both Kori and his are (thanks too their dad and me but i can hold it together better lol).If he doesnt get his own way he will hit you and times I have felt like twacking him back. He wants people too respect him and his space then why can't he respect mine when I dont wanna hear from him or want a bit of space too calm the fuck down myself...

Anyway on Monday we had a appointment with 2 professionals and one of them we already knew and the other was there too find out how she could help, anyway Braeden was like really like hard too explain "but would only say yes or no answers", so wasnt showing what needed too be shown,and made the comment that its like an alien is sitting in the chair. I felt like i was on show for a better word of my parenting etc, nearly walked out but didn't..Was totally upfront with her and said, I dont know if it's just him being a teenager/his realtionship with his dad/me/being bullied/relationship with Victor . Its frustrating was my answer. By this time he was asked too leave the room so we could talk and even more questions where asked. Even pointed out the relationship with Braeden is more difficult than with my other 3 boys, I guess because we are on the same page most of the time and we can have fun/laugh.So no closer too getting any answers too anything that is going on with him but saying he is slightly anxious but not overly...

By now your probably going holy smoley im not having any more kids or I wanna put the ones i got back lol...

Right now onto the weight loss, well where do I start, crap eating still no ones fault but my own just being honest, Exercise last week wasnt really going well, this week was much better, Zumba monday, hr walk tues(5km roughly),wednesday (nothing),thursday (hr zumba) and today yet too be done lol..Probably not gonna happen much over the weekend with the birthday's.

Right better get started on the chores as Kori has a friend coming tonight so better get the house presentable lol..

Mother Nature

As much as you love too share with us your presence and all that goes with it, we do beg you calm down soon as your not only unhappy with our country, you seem too be sharing your fury with parts of Australia and now Japan :(

So far we have witnessed too much devastation this year while you kindly visited and now you have come back again, will Ken Ring be right and your back for another go real soon, I do hope you will shine your happiness again with us here and abroad but for now can you just lay off and give us a rest xxx

My thoughts and prayers go out too Japan today and families and friends who maybe affected by this recent tragedy xxxx

Take care and remember too hold onto your loved ones xxx

My plan for the weekend...hopefully the weather will...

be kind too us and we can get out for a bit of a hike as a family this weekend...Judging by the weather hmm i will have too pray awfully hard for that as its been a bit of an on/off day...

Yesterday was a really lazy day too be honest and havn't really done a great deal this week in the housework department , so have too make up for it over the weekend as well as getting some well needed exercise too compensate eating some choc this week lol(to be honest didnt really enjoy it).

This week has been a really productive week as I have stepped out of my comfort zone and started too form some friendships with like minded people (well they seem relatively nice), we met through Zumba and I am only just starting too feel comfy engaging in some conversation more than a hello/how are you? Which is a good thing, so we are looking at catching up soon for lunch somewhere before she moves. I have also got a lunch date with one of my weightloss group buddies, which we are both looking forward too so can't wait :)

For those of you who know me either from online groups/facebook/real-life(heaven forbid haha), I dont do small talk, or bullshit fakeness friendships, its not only a waste of my time its a waste of a friend aka me...Some can't handle my honesty and too me that's not my problem,it's theirs :) ...I'll do anything for anyone but piss me off or shit on me then forget ever getting help from me again.

So it's now close too 2am and I should really be in bed instead of blogging but hey who needs sleep right lol...

I am also pretty excited that I am nearing that 70kg mark for April and I am also pretty stoked that I think when i get retested in Oct that I will have a very happy dr lol...

So I will sign off now and will catch you followers on Monday ...Have yourself a great weekend and take care of you and your loved ones too xxx

am pretty rapt as my eating has been shit too be honest and the exercise has been too really but doing utmost too get back on track again... I have decided too not too the running part of the challenge and do alternatives between skipping/squats too keep up the heart rate and have done a bit of running on the spot as well but yeah its not helping my feet...Zumba has been on and off too with it being cancelled or me not being able too get too the sessions but I am stoked really at my measurements...It is week four of the 6 week challenge :)

Last day of feb today............

and week 3 of the 6 week challenge ...due too the earthquake good morning couldnt do the segement last week ...

Anyway as for the weekend well we had a pretty quiet one really, hubby had it off and is due back there this arvo.
Didnt really do much exercise, eating was a bit over the place..Really need too get that back on track again and "get my willpower out"...got out last nite for a 40 min walk really felt great...

Looking at doing the running of this week challenge every second day cos its not really working for me but if i put in some effort then that is a bonus right...I am going too replace it with some gym ideas.

Hubby and I have started having the weekly chats with the older boys again about how there week is going etc highlight/not highlight lol and it was awesome but still typical boys give you one word answers or a grunt/shrug lol..

So once I finish up here I am gonna go get me some lunch and then go have a bit of fresh air and exercise..

Well it's almost a week since I updated...

It's been a hell week for the people of not only Canterbury but most of NZ and some of our overseas friends/family as they waited for news on there loved ones ...Heartbreaks for everyone and they are predicting another one before end of March...No more mother nature please xxx

My experience was sitting on the couch and thinking my god the couch is moving, hubby was at the comp, so was thinking he was being a funny buggar then it happened again the earth moved. Was a long day fretting as my son had gone too camp as well (principal rung too say all is well and they will be back Friday lol)

Anyway, the week got off too a great start, did my zumba, a ten minute segment on tv and was doing my 2nd week of the challenge then come 1pm(Tuesday),life seem too come too a stand still with exercise and eating and I havnt really restarted it, hasnt helped the weather has been up and down so havnt got in my "exercise mode".

However I got out today and i felt great but went too do my running part of it and it bloody started too rain good on ya mother nature wrecking my plans lol...

However I had a sneaky weigh in and I am stoked I have managed too loose some flab too heaven hehe(not meant too be doing them till next week but couldnt help it whoops).. Anyway hoping the weekend will be all good weather wise and i can get out too do a bit of exercise :)

Its been a few days since i updated

Well have done my challenge fully except my walking part of it today, which is pretty good, have managed too get a zumba class in there as well so overall the exercise is going well.

As for the eating that has been a bit touch and go this week, but a lot better so I am probably sitting close too 80% of my food choices. Am going too look into the fitnesspal website that some of the girls in the flab too glam have suggested :)

Tomorrow is my first week of the challenge done and dusted , very proud i lasted but next week should be interesting indeed.

Biggest challenge for me right now

is eating and keeping up the motivation...Old habits are starting too appear so I better get on the eating right bandwagon again before the scales tell and show me something different...

So this week is too just do that... Huia you can do this!!!

I wasn't really looking .....

For a job atm but Friday I saw an ad in the local community newsletter and thought why not, talked it over with hubby over the weekend and he did his usual if you want too go for it speal lol, so today I did just that I phoned up and enquired about the job and said I would be very keen, I now have too wait for the parents/child too get back from holiday before we can go any further, slowly coming out of the "hermit" stage lol, but overall it was positive and I know its only part time but that suits me and my family, its not about the money even though its great too have a lil extra but I want too achieve my goals this year that I have set myself.Life is just a box of fluffies right now :)

Where its at right now

Hey, First blog of the year, I have had this blog but never written anything in it lol...Slowly but surely getting there.

Anyway just a bit of an overview on whats going on right now and how it begun. Last year Sept too be exact we had too do a medical for our life insurance policy...anyway both of our results came back and the concerns where high cholestrol(sp)/bloodd pressure and borderline type 2 diabetes if I wasnt too change things... Anyway I took it all on board and started trawling the internet for ways that I could change this...With that in mind I started getting my head around it all saying there is no way I am gonna have them health issues if I can help it ...So fast forward too middle of October and Zumba started in our town, thought great no one will wanna do that in this hick town, was I wrong lol..Wanted too go back for more that is for sure I did. Then I got sick and man that was so not fun wasnt till i went too the drs and she said oh you may have "Asthma", like hell I am gonna have that as well lol...Can you see a pattern happening here lol...So popped a weeks worth of antibotics and wahoo back too zumba I went. So basically i changed my diet as well as got regular exercise and even managed too keep/maintain over the christmas/new year time my weight and exercise not as much but I got some in when I could.

So it's now feb and I have had a bit of on/off bandwagon lack of motivation, but am determined I can do this and come October we are in a better place cholestrol and diabetes wise :)..At the moment I have sat at 75kg and put on a 1kg the past week but think I may have lost that kg, just need too stay away from all those tempting goodies. I can do it is my motto :)
