Another Classic From Sebastyn

I have had seb all this week, and it has been awesome, spending lots of time with him reading and playing. While we were away i started to right down words and got him to read them. He was very good and he remember i don't know if thats because he remember or if he could actually read them..

Anyways this morning he was playing with his wiggles things there is a stop sign and a give way sign and they are colours green and red.... Anyways he thinks they are teenage mutan ninja turtles... but anyways he calls one of them ninjanardo instead of leonardo... It has my belly hurting with laughter when he says it!!

anyways off to a lunch thing with work!! yippie

Hungry After exercise?

Some of you may be like me and get hungry after you exercise..... Well if your like me i feel like eating a truck load of food.. anyways i have just been for a two hour walk and got home and again feeling hungry so i thought i would do some research. i found a website called ask the Dietitian and got this little bit of information from it which could explain why i am feeling hungry after i excercise and also you... Hope this helps

Moderate exercise by itself does not increase your appetite unless you have exercised too hard or are on a quick weight loss diet and your glycogen stores are depleted. Glycogen is the stored form of glucose in your muscles and liver. You only have about 1500 to 1800 calories of stored glycogen. When glycogen is depleted, your body has to turn to protein in muscles and organs to supply glucose. Depending on the time of your last meal before exercising, your blood sugar may be low. In which case, your body is telling you to eat.Moderate exercise helps in suppressing appetite and increasing your metabolic rate for up to 15 hours after exercise. A gland in your brain called the hypothalamus is responsible for secreting a hormone, which inhibits hunger. Exercise helps stimulate this gland to produce more of this hormone. Moderate exercise that would produce this beneficial effect would be 60 minutes of exercise, three to five times per week. Possibly, by the time you complete your exercising the suppression of your appetite has started. I thought this was very interesting.

Also on another note...


I have very tight muscles and it doesn't matter how much stretching i do if you i do more weights as weights helps loosen muscles my muscles are still tight!! Well while i was away in QLD i went and had a massage as my calf muscles were killing me because i had done so much walking and running.. anyways the lady said to me usually when your muscles are tight you are lacking magnesium!! sooo i went and brought some tables and have taken them after my excercise and have found that it is relaxing my muscles. I also did some research into why you can lack magnesium and was very interesting..... One of the things i found was that if you drink alcohol you are at high risk for magnesium deficiency because alcohol increases urinary excretion of magnesium.. I was drinking nearly every day so it might explain a few things.. Anyways i should be getting the magnesium in the food im eating, but just incase im not im taking a supplement anyways!! Soo there you go i hope that i have educated you a little bit!

I love that donkey

The words that come out of your children's mouth is incredible! Sebastyn is talking heaps now.... i put him into bed tonite and i brought him a shrek and donkey doona cover... anyways he turned his pillow over so that donkey could be sleeping next to him, and he said "mummy i love that donkey.... he keeps me warm" it was very adorable!!

My Year

I know i have to update you all about my holiday but it an't be done until i have the pictures!!! Ails is my photo guru at the moment while i don't have the cord so when i catch up with her i will be updating you.

I have come back refreshed, energised, feeling great and tanned also :)

This year is about me and getting me healthy and doing things i want to do! :) So as ails and I go down the road of looking more beautiful than we already are it was time to make some changes in my work life. So today i signed up to do my Diploma in Accounting :) I start on Feb 11th and i can't wait. i will be doing it part time so i can balance work and also still have my time with sebastyn..

I had my tarot cards read and she told me it was about time that i start doing things for me so that is what i am doing.

Ails and I are on a high and we both looking forward to this challenge and i love having someone push me and support me through this!!!! Im not blaming ails for me weight gain because i only have one person to blame and that is me, but we did bring out the worst in each other, and we really are bad influences on each other, and on the other hand we are both good influences on each other!!!

Im proud that i am doing this for me and getting myself right!!! its time to stop the excuses and stop the blame game and just get my arse into gear!!

I can't wait to see the finshed me :) Its only going to get better and i can't wait.

Sooo tonite im playint netball!! yippie!!! just filling in!! its tooo hot!

Soo to everyone out there life is to short and follow your dreams and do what you truely want to do because some day you might regret it!!

I have so much to say and so many photos that i want to show you all about our trip which i must admit i didn't want to come back from because the beach was right there the weather was nice, and it was good to get up every morning and go for a walk and not have to worry what time i have to go to work.

I have another week off work so this week is going to be cleaning out clothes week, setting my goals, and spending time with sebastyn and maybe even going to the tennis :)
