Eleanor Roosevelt:

The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.

The Melbourne Zoo

What an awesome day! Adam and I took seb to the zoo for the first time. It was good to have a family day together :) Seb loved seeing all the animals especially the lions. They were going off tap. walking right past us roaring, it literally sent shivers down my spine, to have them so close....

I got a movie of the lions and once i figure out how to put it on i will upload it, unless anyone can tell me!!


This is seb with a baby baboon he was saying hello :)

Catch up

Well hello everybody!! What a busy time it has been for me! i have finally caught up with everyones blogs and how fantastic everyone is doing with weight losses.. Its fantastic.

I have had a dreaded sinus infection that has finally gone.. i felt like i had a migrane 24/7 in my forhead it was horrible!!!

Sydney was awesome, except that it rained the whole time i was up there, which sucked because back in good old Bendigo it was sunshine!!! I learnt lots more about being a chiropractic CA and becoming my confident in myself and in my work!!

Mmm what else, seb has just become so independent. as you will see from the photos, he likes to feed himself now!! Mmmmmm what a fun clean up job it is.

Cheeky lil bugger. I am getting him weighed and measured next wednesday its been ages since i have had it done, so it will be interesting to see!!! He is learning more words every day and it won't be long before he starts putting sentences together.

I got myself weighed today. Its been ages since i have updated you i have been oh so very slack. i weighed in at 74.2 and my body fat is at 41.1% !!!! i have lost 10.5kgs since i started.

Im feeling good within myself but i just want to reach goal and feel that extra good about myself. Beckie everytime you come into work you always complementing me, thanks so much, it makes you feel good....

I got a F&*%ing $290 gas bill in the mail the other day i was sooooo shattered.... os upset and so grrrrrrrr... when i don't have seb i am going to freeze as i don't need another one of those coming my way!!!!

I start extra shift this week at work which will be good money wise but will have to get my butt into gear and get organised.

Well its my day off today and i got all my washing done thank god, its such a beautiful day, i walked into town with seb which was good cause he had a sleep, and now he is having another sleep... I got a PT tonite :( arrggghh oh so not looking forward to it!!!

Well i might go and read a book and chill for a bit while lil is sleeping.

Take care everyone and ill try and post a lil more regular

Luv You

My god i didn't realise how long it has been since i posted last and so much has happened.

Right now i feel like someone has hit my over the forhead with a metal pole. I don't know what is going on with my head so this post won't be a long one as i really can't think straight at the moment

Firstly seb started saying love you last week. It sure brought a tear to my eye and just hearing those words come from his mouth makes my day.

I went to sydney on the weekend for work which was once again awesome! I love sydney.. i think i could live there.

I have been really naughty with my eating and excercising has been slack, but i have now set my personal goals each week with work which now is motivating me to move my arse into gear.

4 now that is it

Motivation

Ok so i got motivation. I was up at 5.30am this morning and went and did combat in at the gym, mowed my lawns and whipper snipped, had a massage, cleaned my house a lil and even had time to shave my legs. It was so good to have a day to myself to do what i wanted. Its been ages since i have done this. I feel really good.

I was suppose to go out for breakfast with my brother, but i came back home after combat and feel asleep and my phone rang about 9.30am and it was my brother asking where i was.. hehehe i had slept through the alarm.. i needed the sleep..


Well going to cook spag bowl for tea. Mmmm my favourite

Untitled

I don't know what to title this blog.... I just want to make it clear to people that read my blogs, that the reason i write my blog is so that i can get off my chest what i am feeling and to let the people who read my blog know whats happening in my life right now. You might not agree with what I do, and that the whole world can read about my life, but so be it, i choose to do it. Its also about getting support from other people who have been through the similar situations, its about supporting each other through hard times, through the weight loss through what ever. So if you want to go running back to people, about what i have written in my blog then so be it, because i really don't care and i don't have to justify myself, or what i write. If you have a problem with what i write then don't read it, also usually when i write about certain people in my blog i usually have spoken to them about it anyways. My feelings are my feelings and I choose to express them however i want. And this is the way i am choosing to express them.

Scattered Thoughts

I have just been reading becks blog, and how upset she is with herself about the way she looks etc. I have not known someone with the kindest heart, senerity and affection as she has, and to read about her being down on herself has touched me. The point i am getting at is that i posted a message to her. I have been reading a book by an inspirational man called Dr John Demartini. The book is called " How to make one Hell of a profit and still get to heaven". It is absolutely fav book and not only has it made me learn about money finance etc, it has also taught me about positive quotes, sayings etc and how the mind is so powerful. A quote i wrote to beck was " Whatever you think about, thank about, you bring about" This really gels with me, and hopefully it does to others, and hopefully people can see the meaning behind it. So i contridict myself when i said in my last blog that i felt like a fat hefalump in that photo. because if i think that i look like a fat hefalump then i am a fat hefalump. Does that make sense.

I have also learnt about stability and control, and self control, and how the universe won't let you expand if you can't control what you have at the moment, so for me, when i learn how to discipline myself with money and learn to save, then i will get more money, payrise etc. Please don't worry if none of this makes sense to you, and please know that i have not joined a cult or anything, i have just been doing alot of reading and watching dvd's with work and have learnt alot and how it applies in my life.

So for me to have stability and control in my life, i need order. I need order in my house, finance, emotions, physically, love life. So my first step was opening up a saving accounts that earns me interest to help me save.

I have laid down the ground rules with adam. I have said to him that i am sick of being in limbo land so you either want to be with me or you don't simple. I know where I want my life to head and I know what i need to fulfill it, so we both stop playing games and we sort out our problems and we be together or we part, and just be there for Sebastyn. I need happiness and love and support. He eithers gives it to me or he doesn't. and i move on.

I have a job that gives me stability and I love my job and i have so much room to grow and expand, and im determined to take my career as far as i can go now.

I am determined to get the lingerie business up and going with Beck, and make it happen and make it successful.

I want the best for my son and for myself, and to know that i am comfortable in my life.

I am determined to drop this last 10kgs that i have to go. for 5 weeks now i have been at plato. I have been lazy with eating, exercising, i need to get off my arse and do something about it! Be healthy, energetic, feel sexy, have self worth, confidence, not only for myself, but to be able to play with my son and my nephew. I want to be an active mother, Im young...

Wow my head feels lighter after spitting all this out!

The Ball, Geelong and My week


Hey Guys, glad you all had a good time at the bloggers meet, im sorry i could not be there but i ended up having to look after sebastyn. But next one ill be there for sure.

So the ball was great... i got plastered and ended up home at 2.30am. I was drinking vodka Freezes 7% alcohol so i wasn't surprised that i woke up feeling like crap and that i needed to have a spit :)

We had a beautiful two course meal i had chicken stuffed with rice and a cheeseeee sauce. And pumpkin soup it was soooo yumm..

I got up and had a dance and a mingled with the footy boyz and girls. They had a live band who must of been big fans of cat stevens because they played sooooo many of his songs... Overall it was a good nite and it was good to go out with Adam, even though i didn't see much of him. hehehe

Below are some photos from the ball! I felt like a hefalump next the girls cause they so little but i still felt great.


So its me on the left Beck and Kaz who are cousins.

I had some hollywood tape happening to keep my boobs in. If you want to look at the photo closer click on it.


So this is adam and I

So there is some pictures for you.

On wednesday i took sebastyn to Geelong i needed some R & R and it was the first time he had been at that beach and he loved it. He chased the sea gulls for ages and picked the sand up in his hands and would chuck it everywhere. Anyways back in our room where we were staying was a desk and chair. And Lil one has no fear whats so ever. We went shopping and i brought him some tic toc biscuits. anyways i said to him that he had, had enough but he was determined to get more. So below i took some photos of his determination.

Climbing on the chair getting the packet of biscuits


and standing

He has no fear and that scares me sometimes. He is always walking to strangers, waving good bye to people he doesn't know, i suppose its just part of him learning and growing up! He is saying lots of words now which is great and he is trying so hard to have a conversation with you but it won't be long.

My week has been good, i have actually been to the gym more than once this week. I have put my foot down and have got some extra motivation from somewhere so hopefully now i can get my arse into gear and lose this last 10 kgs i need to lose and hopefully get my body fat down.

Well im off to do some reading and have some quiet time since i have no child.

Ciao

ONE dead mouse and my 100th Post

Sooo for my 100th post ill be talking dead mice :) I woke up this morning to give seb a bottle and low and behold there was a mouse in the middle of my kitchen floor. Its scrared the absolute shittaaaasss outta me!!! I took one step down and it didn't move. It was sitting there with its tail curled around. and i thought ohh my god its got friendly!!! So i got a ice cream container and put it over the top of it and it still didn't move and then put a huge container of water on top of that so it could go anywhere... I texted adam and said please come around and remove the mouse from my kitchen... and he did thank god otherwise it would still be sitting there dead....

Pest control will be around this week to bait my house and get rid of the rest hopefully!!!!

So hopefully there will be some peace and quiet in my house without mice :)


I have my first inspection for my house next month and I asked them today if i could put a sand pit in the back yard for sebastyn and they said yes so i think thats great.. gives him something to play with outside instead of going and hiding in the outside toilet all the time...

Well my day off today has been productive and lil man is having a sleep at the moment, and my dad and his wife are coming to baby sit this weekend, so im trying to get the house all cleaned :) hehehehe.... knowing mazza i will come home from my ball and the house will be spotless :)

Toodles for now!!

& House Keys Locked inside

Mmmm well as if my weekend wasn't an entertaining one, last night i locked my keys in the house. I actually think it was Karma!!! I had a fight with adam on sunday nite and told him to give me the spare key back so of course he did, and my luck my brother came around last nite so take me to get some tea and what did i do. walked straight out the bloody door without my keys!!!! I tell ya my head not screwed on lately!!!

Im enjoying walking everywhere. i was up and out of the house by 7am this morning! and the stars where still out!! Its a nice walk to and from work!! I have sebastyn this week so don't know how i will be taking him to creche on friday!! might be going by taxi!!!

Well i better go clean my house up before adam brings seb over!!!

Got the footy ball on saturday so will have to make sure i get some photos for you all

ill actually be in a dress, wearing make up and have my hair done.. so very rare for me, so make sure you treasure the photos :)

"Loose", Broken Car , Human Pooh

Mmmmmm what a fun filled weekend i have endured! I went to my sisters on Friday nite after work, to chill and enjoy some family company! It was a fantastic weekend until coming home today!

Firsty i learnt the new slang. just shows how much i get out. "Loose" is a word they use alot of there. "Oh my god shes is in "loose" form tonite".........

We went to the footy yesterday and that was, caught up with some people that i hadn't seen in a long time! then last nite we went out to the pub for a few drinks and a boogy! that was fun....

Lee drove my car down the street and parked it in a public car park. When we went to pick it up this morning some disgusting person decided to stand on my bonnet and do there numbers 2!! I was so disgusted... who the F&*%$ would do that???

Then driving home today just coming into Bendigo my car decided to die!!! Yeah great fucking car.. thank god my sister was following behind me.... i got out and gave it the biggest kick!!! Im over it!!!!! so now i am without a car for gods knows how long!!!! will be getting my exercise this week that is for sure.. So my great weekend ended in shit!!!

But on a good note my bro was in Bendigo playing footy today and my uncle so was good to catch up with the family, and my uncle finally got to meet sebasty because he has never met him.. so yeah..

well im outta here i can't be bothered writing anymore....

News has sickened me!

I have cried and I have been sickened by the death of an innocent 8 year old girl in Perth who was raped and strangled in a shopping centre yesterday! You sick bastered! How could any human being be so cruel and vial? When something like this happens to a child it really hits home and makes you think that that could have been your child!!! Male or Female.

Cherish every moment with your children family and friends because you don't know when it could be your last!

ok must go i have a teething screaming child sitting on my lap making it very difficult for me 2 write.

my thoughts are with the family in perth!

So over the last couple of weeks of i have been trying to get rid of them!! Mmm with mice traps but they have been to smart and getting their food and running away, so now i am trying the bait. they are throw bags that the mice eat and are SUPPOSE to die.. well i have gone through 4 packets of this stuff and the mice are still living!!! MMMMMM so now comes the hard stuff.

Vanessa where are you?

My god, how busy can one person be. right now i don't really know where is vanessa is!! I have been that flat out that i have not really had any time to myself! I do hope that things will slow down soon!

I had my sister up last week and that was fun it was good to spend a couple of days with her. We are organising to go on a contiki tour in September next year so i am looking forward to that :) 15 days travelling around europe :) Its something i have wanted to do for ages and I would really love to do it with my sister and some other people that we know. So i have a goal set for myself now :)

What else has happened. so much so muc.. i went to melbourne on the weekend to look for a dress for the ball that i have coming up but do you think i could find anything?? NOPE.. nothing fitted.. my boobs where to big for everything :(

Sooo i have now opted for a skirt and dress, least i will be a little bit girly :)

I have been not 100% this week, as i have not been looking after myself i have got run down and have had a chest thing happening!! Im getting there though.

Sebastyn is doing really well, learning lots of words.. they have been weaning him to the bigs kids room at creche when i say big kids i mean the 1 - 3 yrs and after the holidays he will be going up there full time... Apparently he was getting bored and there is more to do in that room so as long as it is good for his development i am happy. But i went to creche the other day and spoke to them about it as i was being the worrying mother and they told me that sticks up for himself, and that he has been fitting in good!!

Work is still good i still love it, and it keeps me busy!!

Im going to borrow my bros camera one of these days and take some photos.....

My weight has stablised at the moment.. but im content at where i am at the moment as live has just been so busy for me, but i am plodding along and will reach goal weight at some stage.

Well i think thats about it for now!!!

Lazy

I have become so lazy with my blogging lately! I think its more a need to find time to blog with such a busy life. Work takes up so much time and i seriously need to get myself organised and prepare for my weeks.

The long weekend was a busy weekend for me! I went and stayed with my dad for one nite. I feel that things have changed. Its weird i feel when i go and see dad now im not going home. Does that make sense. I just feel that i have to tred on egg shells when im at dads. Its not like a home its more like a palace that has everything in place and things can't get messy or you can't make a mess! But besides that i caught up with my aunty who i haven't seen in ages and it was really nice to see her. She has a labradoodle dog and its huge and seb had sooo much with him..... its was funny... Coby could of eaten seb all up!! :)

I am really spewing that i have not found my digital camera as there have been so many photograph moments of seb that i have not been able to catch. I am going to have to borrow my brothers camera and take some photos and update you all on how much he has grown. He is very cheeky and copying everything. I must go and get him weighed and see how he is going.

The exercise and eating has been really crap lately, but on a good note i ran for the first time at the gym on tuesday for 15 minutes and my shins didn't hurt, so im pretty proud about that!!

I have to balls coming up at the start of July so next weekend im off to melbourne to go dress shopping. Im looking foward to getting dressed up and having my hair and make up done, as most of you who know me well im not a girly girl!!!! So i will have to put a photo of me in a dress on here because it will be one a million :)

I hope that everyone had a good break over the weekend.... I actually did get my house clean, but that didn't last long with seb getting into everything and making a mess :)

Well im off to Bed its been a big day. My sister has come to stay for a couple of days.

I had a friend visit

Well its been a while since i updated... Firstly i was thinking about paying out my gym membership because im sick of it coming out fortnightly but i dont really have 2 grand spare.. i was so shocked when i found out.. but thats what im paying for my gym and my PT sessions and my slim meetings...

Im really driving myself to try and save money as i really want a new car and i really want to get my own house..

I had a friend visit me on monday morning just i was about to jump in the shower... A fucking huge mouse i nearly broke my toilet seat as i jumped up onto it!! I was so mad!!!

Also i have been in this house for 5 weeks now not only have i still got 5 boxes to unpack i had my first bath on satruday nite.. but it wasn't without being interrupted :( but anyways i got it and thats all that matters.

My lil man is getting his molers at the moment :( so he has not been well but he is still cheeky as ever!!! he is saying more words his latest is "bath"!!!

I think im ready for a holiday!!! i have not stopped since i started work and its really draining me!!! I have my sis coming up next week so that will be good.. im looking foward to that.

Night everyone.. got to get myself ready as its my week to have lil one!

I forgot about how much Pain.......

There is when your getting a PT!! Awwww my god.. its been about 8 weeks since i had a PT at the gym and im feeling sorry for myself today. Not only is my butt sore my thighs and hamstrings i can't hardly sit down and get up!!! I had a massage this morning thinking it might help but i don't think it has, i must keep stretching today and moving to help release this soreness from my body.

Im glad im back doing them though because now im pushing myself and building my strength back up.

Im really excited my sister is coming to stay with me in two weeks time... Its been ages since just me and her hanged out so im looking forward to doing some sister things together!!

Well my lil man is having a sleep so i might get some house work done while i can.

I feel Lost!

It has really hit me today about me being a single working mum! I use to go off my head that adam didn't see his son enough and now the tables have turned!

Not only is seb a lil daddy's boy and everything is daddy and him wanting to spend time with daddy, but I feel lost. friday morning i started work at 7.45am. I was up at 6.30 had a shower and got ready for work. Woke seb up at 7.00 changed his bum packed the car and off to creche it was. Mmmmm i spent a whole 10 minutes with him. When i dropped him off at creche he screamed his head off, because he didn't want me to go! Im really missing the time that we had together and I feel because i work late nights and he is spending all his time with his dad that im losing the connection we had. Its hitting my heart and it hurts. Like today. Adam was around to help me with my student desk and he had to go home for a bit, and he picked seb up to give him a kiss good bye and i put my arms out to get seb off him, and he didn't want to come to me, he kept turning his back to me... over and over again... Adam said to me to stop being silly and not to take it to heart but how could i not, when my own son didn't want to be with me. Its just been a few lil things this week that have happened with seb that make me realise am i being to strict on him? should i loosen the string a bit?? But then there is the nasty side of me that is saying no, you don't want a spoilt child who gets away with everything. I think seb has realised who lets him do stuff and who doesn't. he may only be 14 months old but he knows. Children are smarter than we give them credit for!

Can someone make some sense of what im going through here? or am i worrying about nothing and if that is the case someone tell me to pull my head in!!
