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.
