Weigh in - Week 9
Im still feeling a little stiff after my PT session, not only do i have sore muscles but i have very nice war wounds on my elbows from carpet burn from commando crawling!!! Mmm never again!!!
I message sheree yesterday and told her that i felt like i had been hit by a truck, i could not move, i could not pick seb up from the cot!! and she said something to me that i wanted to share with you because i think it makes a lot of sense. She message me back saying "Remember pain is just the weakness leaving the body" and I so believe that! It can mean so many things! Your working yourself so hard to be that stronger person!
Everyone on weight lose challenges, be proud of your achievements and be positive and stay positive and know that you have my support! Goals can be achieved and there is more to losing than weight than just how much you weigh! and I have come to realise that! As long as your feeling better about yourself, feeling stronger, fitter, healthier than you are on the road to success!

Thoughts
Anyways I couldn't sleep last nite, and its really getting to me! Im trying to stay so positive about everything, but you just get to a point where your like well fuck it!! And im at the point right now! My brain is so clouded with trying to find a job and trying to find a house, having no money, and adam and sebsastyn and trying to lose weight and get health and fit, I wonder where I actually are in all of this? I know im there somewhere :) And i know that the light is at the end of the tunnel but by god the tunnel is getting really long for me at the moment! It feels like it is never ending! And I know that once I hear that I have a house or that I have a job that my view and thoughts on everything will change again!
I can hear my lil man stirring, which means he just woke from one big longggg sleep!! So on that note i am going to leave you with this quote:

They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
One Week To Go.........
.................Until my precious lil boy turns one.
Here is a photo of him not long after he was born!!! You might notice the little bruise on his eye, it was from the forcepts!!!
He has grown up so fast! this year has gone so fast!! I still remember the first time he was put in my arms!! still makes me cry! Its such a precious moment that i will remember for ever!
Interview No 2
I didn't get the flat i wanted, which i am really disappointed about because it was perfect location but to make me feel better "i was second in line" Awww dagger in the heart!!! Ill move on and keep going i suppose. i just feel like i will be stuck here forever!!
I have had mixed emotions the last couple of days! I have been spending lots of quality time with adam and seb which has been really nice, and yesterday after lunch with Becki, Bradman, Phillipa and David, i went and met adam and seb at the lake, but I got really upset when it was time to go!! The feeling of us all not going home together as a family and me not having my baby with me after such a lovely afternoon was really heart breaking. I thought this was suppose to get easier??? When Bloody When??? Opppss i used that word bloody!!!!! i might be on the front page of the paper tomorrow...
Well I have had a really huge day today. it started at 7.15am when my alarm went off for me to get up and get ready to go to Melbourne with Sheree. It was a very long day, but it was good to get out of Bendigo for the day!!! Thanks Sheree!!!
Well my lil boy is fast asleep in Bed, and not very well today, think hes got more teeth coming through so im going to go and lounge on the couch and watch commander in chief!!
Nite nite

Ohh so quiet
Well this is a big week for me. I had my three job interviews last week and they all said that they would get back to me this week ( two of them for second interviews), and also will hear about this unit! Soooo please please some good news come out of it! I really need a job, i got my centrelink payment today and its gone already!! My clothes are getting big on me and I need to buy some new ones, but can't really do that without a job! It really sucks not having any money! And i really need a place of my own! I miss all my stuff that is packed away in boxes!! After talking about photos today, I miss all of them too!!
Well im off to go and clean my room! Ohh should i say put all my washing away

Just a photo
Productive Day
I wrote a list of all the things that I needed to do today and I have completed everything except 3 things, and there was 10 things on my list.
- I did our Bas Statement
- I paid some money to china
- I applied for some jobs
- I asked sheree what time my PT is on Wednesday as i forgot
- I contacted a real estate agent
- I went and had a drive by a unit, i was interested in but not anymore after seeing it!! (they always make them look so pretty in photos)
- Printed off some photos.
So I went into the gym and sweated out some frustration for 40 minutes, and I was going to go into the gym tonite to do pilates, but i remember that Desperate housewives is on so i will just go for a walk around the res instead.
Not a good start to Monday
Im just really pissed off that they didn't contact me, when they said they would! It was in the ideal location for me, and i didn't even have the opportunity!
Anyways so im now applying for a couple of jobs and then heading into the gym to sweat my anger out!!!
Have a wonderful day people

"Have you got a one dollar note"
On that note does anyone collect anything interesting??? Hehehehe!! I collect 20 and 50cent pieces, but the ones that have all the different pictures on them :) Why i have no idea, but i just like it!! They might be worth something one day!! hahahaha!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I ended up going into the gym yesterday and doing a 60 minutes cardio work out, and 30 minutes of that was the easy step class... I woke up this morning with sore calves :( So lots of stretching to try and get them better again.
I got a dining set today which i'm pleased about, now i just need the house/unit to put it in. I applied for one flat this week and they told me that i will find out middle of next week if i get it, but i have found a couple of others that interest me so have to wait until monday to see if i can have a look through them!
Hopefully I will hear something on Monday about the job interview that i had yesterday! Fingers crossed.... But im not getting my hopes up! what happens, happens!
Im just writing random stuff so that is why this is all over the place, im writing what is coming to my head.
Which reminds me i have a biter in my family at the moment, and i don't know what to do about it, because everytime i tell him off about it he laughs straight back at me, and i have tried biting him back not hard of course and he laughs at me and when i tell him no, he is back chatting me with gibber!! He doesn't know his own strengths and it really concerns me because i don't want him biting children at creche! But last night he was biting my tummy, my boobs, my nose, and it was just really frustrating me! I just hope that he grows out of it really quickly!!! otherwise!! Ill have to pull his teeth out :) hehehehe!!
I was not at all surprised by biggest loser weigh in on friday. Bye Bye Tracie and Artie!!!!
Well my eyes are feeling heavy, so might go put my head on the pillow and hopefully pass out for a couple of hours before lil one wants a bottle!! Ohhh wish he would grow out of that too and sleep through the nite!!!!!! When i get 6 -8 hours sleep straight i will be one happy Mum and the whole world will know about it I tell you!
Night night my readers!!

So i had my interview today and i think it went really well. I will find out by the end of day if i get a second interview! At second interview they will be putting my on the computer to see how I go with excel and just ask more questions!
I was really honest with them, and they asked me what my weaknesses are and I told them my patiences and my tend to rush things at times. But i also backed that up with, saying that i have improved in these areas over time... I didn't think that interview would go for long but i was there for 45 minutes.....

I really Hate my emotions Right Now
Today I have cried and cried and cried.. Why!!! I have no fucking idea. The smallest things have made me cry! Sorry excuse the french!!
I know there is a lot going on in my life right now, but for god sake you would think the waterfall would stop for a rest at some stage.
Soo on a happy note my lil man is walking walking walking. So taj watch out cause there is no stopping him now.... He looks so funny waddling from side to side and he gets so excited he tries to run but it just doesn't happen!! He needs to sllooowwww down!
It really frustrates me when he is with his dad and i hear all these stories from his family about what seb did this week, blaah blaah and you think that i should be happy.But im not, it irritates me to pieces because i feel that i am missing out on so much, and i feel like they are rubbing it into my face that "I saw him do this, this week" blaah blaah... And i know they probably aren't rubbing it in to me, but thats just how I feel.
The other thing that irritates me is when someone will say something about how we should be looking after seb or how we should raise him. That gets right down into my bones... I hate it. He is my son and I will raise him how I please. I couldn't give a rats arse if you got kids or not!!
The other thing that frustrates me, is that adam is so damn protective of him. Fusses over every little fall or knock that he has!!! Why don't you buy a bubble for him and put him in it??? And every time he cries or should I say crocodile tears he picks him up!! Grrrrr how many times do i have to tell you not to do that!!! But after seeing Seb today with adam he really has him under the thumb. He knows how to play his daddy that is for sure! and here i bring up the point again of us both raising him differently and disciplining him differently. He has started to bite i tell him off for it where adam doesn't! And Adam when you get a phone call from creche because seb has bitten another child what you going to tell them? Oh sorry I let him do that at home!! Well HELLOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Anyways on that note, it was bloody hot today, and i went for a walk... LOL silly Ness :)
Oh and I went and seen brokeback mountain last nite!!! mmmmm ill do a post on that i think!! And I cried!!!!! But it was not what i expected that is for sure.
Nite all hope you enjoying your lonnnnggg weekend

The Power of Body Pump
My head has not been clear the last couple of days, well week i should say. I have had alot of emotional issues to deal with! I don't know how that has affected my exercise this week, but i found that there is so much support for single mothers out there that i didn't even knew exsisted! Which from my point of view i think is really poor of the government. People need to be aware of what support they have out there from government agencies and i think more needs to be done to let people know about the support not just for single mums, but people in need in all sorts.
Im feeling a little bit better today about things, knowing that i have these people to help me,but i will feel 100% better once i have a job and have a place to live!
Ive really been craving chocolate the last couple of days, and have been so good not to have any!!! Its good not to have any money. because i think if i did have money then i would have had a whole block by now!
Well my cadio has been restricted to just bike riding because of my calves!! which means im going to have a nice sore arse :) But i need my calves to get better!! so i will do anything to be able to start running again!!
Im really missing my lil boy i haven't seen him since monday! Its so F*%$^ hard i tell you!! But im being strong.. I know he is well! When i feel down i just imagine his big beautiful smile looking at me! It makes me feel so much better!!
Well im off to have a shower and get in PJ's. Put on OC Second series and relax.
Nite All

I moved in here as a temp arrangement and now he needs his own space back!! Sooooooo Yeaaahhhhh i understand everything that he is saying and he is not a bad person, but i feel really really alone right now and feel like i got no one!! So off to centrelink tomorrow to see how they can help me!! Probably send me off to St Lukes or something!! I just feel like my whole world is turning upside down!!
On a good note im catching up with Beckie for Lunch tomorrow.. Yaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh its been ages and i missed her :)
Well Ive confessed my sins for the day..

Money, Job, Seb, Future, & Me
Do children this young remember things? What mental effects has this seperation had on Seb, going back and forwards ,back and forwards from Mum to Dad?? Even though we are seperated why do i still feel like im powered by the ex? Why do I feel like im stuck here? I don't feel like I can move on because of the shared care that we have. I just feel stuck!
I still feel really lonely. I feel like even though adam and I are not together, that I am still doing this all alone. I still have no one to help me!
Im really down on myself at the moment..But why?? I just feel that with Seb that he is not getting everything that he should be. He doesn't have both his parents living with him 24/7, and a child needs that, he needs the support of both his parents at such a young age!! Im scared of what could come of this later on in his life. Maybe its just knowing how I feel and what I went through having been raised by my dad. I just feel that its like a competition with adam and I on who can do better with him. I don't want that!! Who cares really!! The way we both want him raised, we both do differently now, what will that do to him the future, knowing that one parent lets him do this and one doesnt let him do that!! Will he rebel? What happens if he hates me in the future, what happens if he is told a whole lot of shit and lies by people to make him hate me? It all scares me!!
Just to be told once " your doing such a great job with Seb" wouldn't go astray! But am I? How am I to know? By his constant smile, and energy and hapiness that he has. Or is that just an act that he puts on for us all? Is he really a happy child?? Is he doing it to make us feel better to make us believe that he is? Children are smart!!
When Adam and I were having all our problems i wrote him a poem to tell him how i was feeling. And right now I feel like this! And i want to share it with you! Im lonely and im craving love right now.
The pain that weeps from my eyes
Weeps with every broken heartbeat.
Every heart beat gets weaker and weaker
The pain is making me die inside.
Am I being selfish for craving your love?
Craving a desire I long for!
Something so rare.
To feel how i once felt
To have the passion we once shared
To know who i am again
Come save my dieing heart.
Someday that pain that weeps from my eyes
Shall turn to happy weeps.
Until that day, my pain will stay
And my heart beats weaker and weaker.
Night all

Thursday - Swimming Day
Anyways went swimming with Seb this morning! My god that child loves the water!! Maybe he is going to be the next Ian Thorpe.( minus the illnesses he has at the moment. Hope he can make it to the commonwealth games). Anyways i really love Thursday because its my kinda catch up on sleep when i have seb week! Since swimming wears him out he sleep most of the day!! So i have nanna naps too!! Im not handling the whole Seb getting up at 6.30- 7.00 in the morning. He use to sleep in until like 10am what happened????? We would snuggle up in Bed together and sleep sleep sleep. Now he just wants to play play play!!!!
Off to the gym tonite to do a cardio work out. I have weigh in tomorrow morning :) I have been keeping my food diary just like sheree asked. I think i have been pretty good but will see what she says tomorrow!!
I have a photo i want to share. I don't like this photo but it was when adam and Iwent to China last year! I actually weighed 89.9 kilos here. So i lost some Just excuse the date on the photo as its wrong :) My brother didn't have it set on his camera properly..
Well better get ready for gym, and little man has just risen!!
Clinging Child
Anyway since we got home he has been "mummy mummy mummy mummy" and just wanting to be held!!! Its not like him, maybe he missed me today :)
I went to the gym this morning and did weights and a cardio work out! 2 hours :) im proud of myself :) Im feeling really good actually but we will see how i am in the morning! I feel I am getting a little fitter... im doing more running and my breathe isn't running out as quickly!! I just need to have patience, as i just feel you do all this hard work and sometimes for a little result or no result at all and it can be really depressing!!
Change of subject!! Might talk about my feelings today!! I have been feeling a bit down over the last couple of days!! Im really hating Bendigo, and feel like im getting no where here.. Im applying for jobs left, right and center and hearing nothing.... I went to an interview thing last week with a job agency and the lady told me my resume was good, so whats the problem people??? Give us a chance...
So i have been thinking i might go back to school and pass some time!! Im not sure what i will do yet but something with accounting or something like that!!
M if you read this thank you so much for your comments about the lingerie. You and hubby enjoy :) heheh what does it look like with the CFM boots on???? LOL !!!
