I knew I should have...

I have prattled on for a few weeks now about the 12 week challenge...well tomorrow is its official start day. WE had the measurements taken at the gym on Saturday and let me just say that that was adventure. Here are some highlights...

• as I left the house I said " Oh hey I think I should have shaved my legs" My sister said " Nuh it'll be alright". WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to pull my pants leg up and put my leg on a chair and well why is it always the good looking ones who get to see me at my worst
• an ex-student works at the gym, he was doing measurements too. He said to me "Ummm Miss can you just place the tape on your nipples please"
• then it was on the fat calipers - another young guy says " can you please take your shirt off" Yes I had my back fat pinched, and every other spot where fat hides for that matter
• Finally when this was all over and we were handing back in the paperwork - another ex student says" Do you live near..." "why yes I do" "Oh yeah I thought you did - I've been in your house". Turns out one of the house sitters at some stage in the last few years had him over. Umm I wanted to say " have you been through my knicker drawers as well???"

So obviously after this harrowing experience I need a Gloria Jeans Iced Chocolate ( which I have only recently discovered) - and as we are walking back to the car - we run into a guy from the gym..and he laughed at us. WE said " we're starting on Monday - don't tell anyone!!!!"

Belated V Day

We spent Valentines Day with our dad. WE went for a drive up the coast - to measure bridges - that part of the journey was as riveting as it sounds. WE did end up in Coolum though and Dad shouted lunch at the Coolum Beach Surf Life Savers Club. It is literally right on the beach - you can see it was very windy - what is with that random piece of hair? Every single photo had hair flying everywhere so sadly this is the best of the bunch.

43 things

One of my 43 things -(see the list on the side) was to travel somewhere I have never been before. As I have mentioned this was dad's first trip so we mainly went to places we had been before ( NYC, LV etc) we did however go to San Fransisco - and well there you go have never been there before so I can cross that off my list of 43 tings...it should now read 42 things. I did like it very muchly and will no doubt visit again one day.

you better believe it

No 'photoshopping' has occurred to bring this photo to you. It is still up, and no doubt yet another weekend will pass and so it will remain. Obviously the culprit is pictured

GT2150's

I have new gym shoes...fancy hey! I went all out and my foot tested on the machine etc. I have put my faith in the 15 year old who served me, and let them tell me what i needed and what was wrong with my foot. The only problem is now I think they are too big, the slip ..is this normal? Is it? Regardless they have been getting a work out each morning. The twelve week challenge has not started yet, next week. So with that information in mind I have been living it up on the carbs front because I think they are not going to be a part of my life for a little while.

by far the best

My in house photographer has suggested that today's photo is by far the best they have taken this week. I mean I had to use when that statement was made. Didn't I?

hump day

How can it be Wednesday already? How? This means that there are only 2 more days until the weekend. Seriously the weeks are flying by me. I feel like if I blink i will miss it. You'll notice I am still getting the help of a photographer each day. I am rushing off to the gym this afternoon for a mad step class, and the it is off to Dad's for dinner and no doubt some dessert - always a Sara Lee Danish (pretty sure I have mentioned that before) Have I also mentioned that I am doing the 12 week challenge at the gym? OMG...it is gonna be scareeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

blurrrrrrrrrrrry

This is by no means my favourite photo - however it is the only one that isn't blurry. I wore my contacts today and for some reason they irritated me alllllllllllll day. I literally couldn't ait to get home and rip them out. Not much else to report - oh yeah apart from the fact that I am addicted to food - in a realy really really bad way :(

Turning Japanese...I really think so

Haven't uploaded a pic of myself recently - so thought it was probably about time. I have had this dress for ages, but switched it up today by tying my belt kimono style. I love the graphic print on this dress. I also wore cute new red shoes that I bought on the weekend - if you can believe it they were Homy-Peds. I will have to get a photo at some point - they did not hurt me at all - not a band aid in sight.




PS Can you glimpse what is behind me in this photo? Can you? This was taken this morning.

I have a crush

on a man named Kevin. Can you guess which one it is?

Christmas in February

is just ridiculous - but if you came to my house today this is what you would see

My housemate has made several - obviously idle - threats to take it down. I have also made several - not so idle threats of my own. One day the housemate will come home and find it in the middle of her bed!

Sorry it is dark photo and I couldn't rotate it.
