New Hair

Well i decided that i wanted to have my hair cut a bit shorter and a darker colour.
I have been short many many times before but it was quite a drastic change going from a Blonde Bob to Dark and short :)

SO here is what i got

i feel nice and light again :)

Sunday the 17th January 2010 was our Annual Dawn Cruise with our car club.
Now we used to belong to another car club but due to club politics we have formed another group of enthusiasts and this was the groups 1st run as a club.

We met at Loftus oval carpark at 4:30am and as the sky started to get light we made our way through the National Park to Bald Hill to watch the Sunrise.

As it was dark we wernt really to sure how many cars we had.But watching the taillights infront and headlights behind it looked to be approx 20 or so cars.

Once we arrived at Bald hill we were also joined by the Muscle car club so in total there were about 41cars which was awesome ranging from Monaros..Fords...American Muscle..Holdens and Cryslers.

At about 6:30am we made our way down to Bulli for Breakfast at SeaSalt Cafe.
We had problems with our breakfast,they lost our ticket so eventually we had our breakfast and stayed around to chat to friends for a while before people started to leave to do to other things.

By this stage i was starting to feel unwell and could feel a sore throat coming on.

We made our way up to the Headlands Hotel for our usual Drink and feed of prawns but this time we didnt eat as we had breakfast so late.
After an hour or so we were ready to leave and i was starting to feel worse.

Overall it was a fantastic day and i suggest anyone that loves a sunrise to join us next year as its becoming bigger and better every year!!

Now i am still recovering from a nasty throat infection that up until today was actually getting worse due to the fact that i was having a reaction to the antio biotics...so now i am on different ones plus other drugs for the inflammation and swelling
So lets hope that i start to feel better soon.

Weight wise i am doing ok...i didnt lose anything this week but i put that down to being unwell and also its TTOM so a bit of fluid retention happening to :)

Well this year is MY year. I have spent the last number of years making sure that everyone else is happy but i think along the way i forgot about myself.Dont get me wrong i am REALLY happy with my life but i have forgotten to look after myself and its showing with my non existant weightloss.

This year i have made a promise to myself to get as healthy as i can to make it easier to conceive.As young as i may look i will be 31 this year and that clock has started to tick quite loudly.

So the first thing i would like to do this year is lose 3-5 kilos a month for the next 6 months to get my weight down by 18-30kgs.I think this is achievable with correct eating and exercise.I can do this as i have before.I actually used to run about 5kms a day as i was very ionvolved in sport and would play atleast 6 days a week plus whatever i did at school in Phys Ed and Physical Recreation.

Next i would like to go off the pill to get myself in a natural menstural cycle as i have been on the pill since i was 16 and have not come off it...so its going to be interesting to see what they are like.

Once i go off the pill i will also start taking pregnancy suppliments just incase :)

My Husband is also in need of losing some weight so i hope that he will do this with me (minus the pill and suppliments lol )

We had a very busy end to 2009.We moved in with my husbands Nan as she had a fall at home and spent almost 3.5 months in hospital.She was wanting to go into a nursing home but as she was assessed for low level care it was better that she came back home.
Its been great living here.She is not lonely and is loving having someone around to chat to and she is also moving around alot more these days and its not uncommon to find her somewhere up the backyard doing the gardening in the morning (not bad for an 87 year old).

Due to such a busy time we have not had any time to spend alone so i hope that some time in the next few months we may be able to go away for a weekend and spend some quality time together.

Have a few busy months ahead with work to...a trip to Melbourne,Brisbane and Perth for training and maybe a New Zealand trip this half of the year aswell.Atleast the perth trip i can spend some time with family.

Here are a few pics from the last few months

Update

Ok so an update.

I need to get some pics off the camera to show you some progress with the renos but for the life of me i cannot find it. :) the joys of packing and not knowing where everything is :)

Anyway not much has been happening other than packing and painting. The weighloss has not been so good but considering we have not been eating much at home due to time i cant really expect to much.

Work has been crazy and i have been working 6 day weeks so i am certainly looking forward to the October long weekend in a few weeks. Rob is going away so i will find some thing to keep mysself busy. I might even go to see a couple of movies that i have been wanting to watch but are a bit girly for robs liking :)

Im thinking i might go back on Tony Ferguson as it worked for me last time and i really need something to kick start my weightloss and keep me on track if i know i am going to be weighed by someone else.
And there seems to be alot more variety in whats available in the range...not just shakes like there was when i first went on it a few years ago.

We are going to be living down the road from a big park with walking tracks...there will be NO excuses as to why we cant do any exercise as we are 50m down the road from somewhere. Now with the weather warming up it will be great to be able to walk in the daylight after work.
Might even get the C25K back on my ipod...that will be one of my goals...to run 5kms again this summer!! i used to do it everyday until i was about 18 when drinking and boys became more important :)

Ive been slowly catching up with blogs i have not read in a long time and some new blogs i have discovered from new people on We Are Slimming so anyway the roast chicken is in the oven so i best be checking on it and preparing the sweet potato to go in the oven!

Well im doing another challenge!!!!!

This time its only 6 weeks which is great as the last few challenges i have given up about the 6 week mark.

So whats different this time?

Well we are in the process of moving into my husbands nans house as she has decided to go into a nursing home.So at the moment we are renovating and painting etc so we can move in.
Now she lives on the side of a hill and to get up to the house there are about 47 steps plus quite a long path thats on an incline,and once you are at the top of the stairs there is another path which leads up to the backdoor which is also on an incline.
So we are pretty much having forced exercise...we are going to have great bums and thighs :)

I dont have time tonight for a long post as we are still trying to get things organised in our house aswell and tonight we start on the back room which is going to be a challenge.
