Sunday Night
Hi all
Wow where has the weekend gone??? It sure has flown by thats for sure!!! Right firstly thanks to all those that commented re my photos that I posted on Friday night - I decided I really need to do that mainly for myself since my weight loss has been so slow lately so I needed to see those photos online to prove to myself that I am doing well and that I still will continue this journey!
Saturday morning - I woke early with a sore throat (worse than it was Friday evening) and feeling very blah so decided to give the gym a miss and had a wee lay in before getting up, and getting stuck into washing, housework, doing the groceries and home again for lunch before hitting the shops to do some more Christmas shopping! Hmmmmm 500 odd dollars later we left Mitre 10 Mega - but a lot of that was on Steph's main Christmas pressie which is some fancy dangle drill that he has been wanting for ages so we got that for him but have told him he has to wait until Christmas Day before he's allowed to play with it! LOL Also managed to score some other lovely pressies for various family members :) Only 2 left to get now - mine of course (probably going to be a bike) and Steph's parents. We have no idea what we are getting them but still have two more weekends so am sure we will think of something in that time. After getting home from our shopping, I decided I was restless and had been contemplating going for a bike ride but chickened out of that and did a 7km walk instead (in 72 mins) and felt brilliant for doing that. Showered, tea and a very quiet night indeed.
Today, woke earlyish so decided that since it was not raining and that there wouldn't be many people out and about that I would go for a bike ride... so off I went and did about 18 mins on the bike and guess what - I don't have a sore bum today! LOL Perhaps I will feel it tomorrow but so far so good! :) I think I could have gone further but didn't want to over do things so just one step at a time for this lass :) Home, showered, breakfast, read our books for a while and then Steph and I got stuck into our spare room!!! Boy it was a shambles - everything just gets thrown in there anywhere it will go! So we went hard at it for a couple of hours before stopping for lunch. Did a wee bit more before going to meet a couple of local girls at the local bar/cafe. Unfortunately one of them had forgotten all about it but the other one and I had a good ole chat and before we knew it an hour had gone past and although I could have kept chatting for ages (whats new LOL) I had told Steph that I wouldn't be too long as we still had heaps to do on the room. Home again and Steph was out getting some of those 40 litre plastic bins from the Warehouse so went threw some old drawers etc and then once he was home, we stacked things into the bins and sorted everything out! Boy the room looks so much bigger and better now - you can actually see the floor now! LOL Still got the bed to sort out as it is covered with a lot of my old clothes so I need to decide whether or not I am going to sell them on TradeMe or just give them away - oh decisons decisons! LOL Oh there is still the wardrobe to sort out as wel but out of sight out of mind for now! :)
Oh one thing I did find hard whilst doing the clean out of the drawers was throwing out the majority of my first wedding photos! I have always held on to them as I am a sentimental person but I decided that they just had to go as I did not have any good reason to hold on to them. So I went through them and kept out the nice ones of family members and friends and biffed the rest! Just thought that perhaps T might have wanted to have a look for any of his family ones but oooooops to late now. Also threw out my horseshow and rolling pin that were presented to me. I just felt that they were not necessary to hold on to as I had been given new ones when I married Steph - if I had a daughter to T then I may have held on to them but I don't so I couldn't see why I should hold to them - they are just taking up more room! But overall that 1/2hr or so was really hard and quite emotional but am sure in the long run it is for the better!
Anyway, after doing the room, I cooked the most delicious dinner of fresh salmon steaks, new potatoes and salad! YUM YUM! Then I popped up to see Jude briefly as her brother brought her back from Foxton this afternoon - she is looking so good! Then after a brief visit to her I popped around to Jo's to drop off some old Tupperware that Jude's mum is getting replaced and to pick up a can opener I had ordered (part of a Christmas present for someone) and boy Rhian was in fine form! She was supposed to be in bed but oh no she was full of beans and very entertaining and cheeky! It is moments like that when I realise how much I want to be a mum and one day my turn WILL come!
Right I have rambled on enough now - its gone 9pm so I will go get my gym gear ready for tomorrow and then sort myself out workwise and then head to bed... so will catch ya all later.

You blow me away mate, the difference in your face is nothing less than amazing. You look so much younger and, as crazy as it sounds you look way more energetic in the recent photo.
Hi Karen - had seen your photos before but wasn't until they were all together to that you can see how amazing the change is!! Well done:)
