Hiya!!

Oh hey guys!

Long time no see!!

I am still on my weight loss quest. I actually managed to lose 50 kilos and was nearly finished but then I got slightly derailed when I broke up with my BF of 5 years, dabbled in online dating (yep, I went there!) and eventually starting a new romance- ie; eating out lots and being naughty!

I am now in a relationship with a really great guy but I managed to put on 15 kilos in 5 months!! So I am back for a little tune up and obviously a girl needs rewards along the way!

I just started a polyvore thing and I literally have no idea what I am doing!!

So, my BF, let's call him 'S' and I are both trying to lose weight. I asked him if he was interested in a friendly comp, which he is, and I am going to win just quietly... :) With that confidence I asked him if he cared to make it interesting... haha. I mentioned I wanted the bracelets above (on numerous occasions) and he said he might me one if I win. I decided I want them even if I don't win, so suggested we both just buy each other something when we reach our goal. Yay presents!!

I was then complaining about how many kgs I had to lose (he needs to lose 10) and how I wanted all the Tiffany bracelets and then he said he might get me incentives along the way. I am taking this to mean he will be getting me incentives along the way! Muhahaha. He then asked me how much I weighed (the blasphemy!), I didn't want to say (it was a number I care not to speak of) but he said how would he know when to give me my presents... Hmm fair enough. I spilled the beans and it sucked. haha.

I have been back on my plan for exactly one week today and have lost 4.6 kilos. In total I want to lose 16.9 kilos, so I still have another 12.3 kgs to go, but I am 27.22% of the way there (according to an app).

I got myself that bag last night on the eBay (lol) and decided I really shouldn't have purchased it, as I don't exactly need it, or have oodles of monies and I don't really deserve it (*sniff)... So I decided to gift it to myself as a reward. First it was going to be a reward simply for starting my diet again and surviving one week on plan... But when I weighed in this morning, I figured I am so close to 5 kilos, it can be for that too.

I feel pretty great on my diet- not sluggish, heaps of energy, less bloated, so it's all good!!! The detox at first was pretty awful- I ate a lot of naughty food. S likes to cook and was making me bacon and eggs, pancakes, french toast etc for breakfast and the dinners were pork belly and the like. Pork belly was my fave! haha. I had never had it before I met him.

Oh and another thing, if you follow me from the Vogue forum, I have started getting laser hair removal on my hoo-ha, underarms and chin. I am loving the results so far. My second appointment is coming up in about 2 weeks.

Anyway, that's it from me for now! I hope you are all well!!

Week 20 catch-up!

Hi Guys!

Guess it's a been awhile! Thought y'all were probably getting sick of all of my weight loss updates but as I thought would happen... It has taken over my life! haha.

I do apologise! I hope no one actually thinks that though! When I saw it on Pinterest I LOL'd but then I thought 'hey, wait a minute that could be me!!

I have now been on my weight loss quest for 20 weeks! I am now further than halfway and now have less than 20 kilos left to lose to get to my lowest weight ever (though I do want to try and go lower, but we'll cross that bridge later).

17th week~ 0.9 kilo
18th week~ 0.6 kilos
19th week~ 0.8 kilos
20th week~ 1.2 kilos

And my complete loss so far is:

28.7 kilos

&

I am now OVERWEIGHT! 

(um... yay? haha. Nah I am super happy having come from being MORBIDLY OBESE)

Seeing as I have been on the quest for 20 weeks, I felt like that was a nice round number to just a reflection type run down.

My inches lost;

BMI: Morbidly Obese-> Obese-> Overweight
Bust: 8.5 inches
Under bust: 7 inches
Waist: 10 inches
Belly button: 9 inches
Hip: 7 inches
Thigh: 4.5 inches
Arm: 2.5 inches
Neck: 2 inches 
Butt measurement only started in week 3: 6 inches

That's a lot of inches!! 

And my 4 weekly cyclic weight loss has been;

week 4= 9 kilos

week 8= 6 kilos

week 12= 5.6 kilos

week 16= 4.6 kilos

week 20= 3.5 kilos

Oh Oh and I totally joined a gym- not sure if I mentioned it- a Luxe gym near my work- and I am mainly doing Pilates Reformer and loving it!! But that is the reason why my losses have been slower in the last month... It's due to upping my exercise as exercise and my plan (Cohens Lifestyle) don't actually mix! My losses have been improving though now that my body is getting used to the working out!

That's it for now!! Thanks for reading and please add me on Bloglovin' by clicking here and also Instagram lil_doll16

♡ HALFWAY! ♡ Weeks Fourteen, Fifteen & Sixteen Results!!

Hello Kittens!!

I have been slack again! *hangs head*

I have been feeling really great about myself lately. Definitely walking with a bounce in my step.

I have hit the halfway mark in my 'journey' (anyone else cringe at this word?).

14th week~ 0.6 kilo
15th week~ 1.4 kilos
16th week~ 1.6 kilos

And my complete loss so far is:

25.2 kilos

Whoo Hoo!!

'Yay' indeed!

Now this is scary... Very Scary but here is my Before and Halfway photo.

Before and Halfway!
And that's 'little' Inky!! Remember when he was a little puppy??!
Oh and I am wearing the Kardashian Leggings

I cannot believe how big I let myself get and though you can't see it in that first pic... but I was beaming from ear to ear- I thought I looked okay *sad face*. I am really proud of what I have achieved so far... It does still scare me that I have another 23 kilos to go to get to my lowest ever... And truth be told I should really go lower... Maybe lose another 31 kilos! But I will be crossing that bridge when I get there! The program I am on is designed to find my metabolic equilibrium... So my body will tell me when it's ready to eat my food... At the moment I am happily cruising down the scales!

I am loving the fact that I can finally fit into some of my old wardrobe... And I even purchased a pair of Kardashian leather look leggings... I LOVE THEM! I have now gotten 2 more pairs!! Quite reasonably priced at $32.95 at a Chemist near my work! They appear to be really good quality and I have gotten a few compliments when I wear them!

I have been online shopping like a mad woman!! And just spending money like a mad woman too!

One of my dear friends jetted off to NYC (jealous!! It's true what they say, once you've been there you need to go back!) and she asked me if I wanted her to get me anything. At first I said 'oh, no thank you' as I still have a massive stash since I went in December, but then I thought about it and may have looked at Sephora... Well then I was asking her if the offer still stood! She said yes! Yay!

Then I created this list and screen captured it, worked out currency conversion and was ready to send it to her when I noticed 2 horrible words... Online Exclusive!! Noooooooooooooo! So I revised my list but I still reallllllly wanted the online exclusive!! Isn't that always the way??? So, I created an online order and decided to use HopShopGo to get the Sephora package to me.

*Breathe, Breathe* It is on board with driver as I rapidly tap my keyboard!!!! So excited I could squeal like a little piggy!!!!!

My next post is a comparison between Mecca, Tarazz (the Aussie 'portal' to Sephora) and Sephora itself + HopShopGo! Plus pics of my goodies!!

♡ Week Six Results

Hi Guys…

Just a quick post today. It’s my 6th week weigh in and it wasn’t too great. Nuts.

I have stayed the same for nearly a whole week. 6 days to be precise. According to the weight loss prophesies I foresee a big loss when I weigh in tomorrow. I have no idea why this keeps happening. I seem to lose the day after my weigh in. haha

I weigh 1.1 kilos less than last week. Taking my total lost to 11.5 kilos in 6 weeks. I am still only 23% of the way through my ‘journey’ though.

I have to attend a funeral tomorrow. *sigh

A friend of mine, who is the brother of one of my besties, took his own life last week. As you can imagine this has been incredibly shocking and I don’t think it has really even hit me yet. Not until tomorrow, I’m sure.

I have one black dress that fits and still haven’t found it yet. I am procrastinating on the looking front but I need to find it tonight or I will be in big trouble tomorrow! I also need to wash my hair tonight and do all sorts of things. I worry over the little things that no one will even notice. It must make me feel in control to preoccupy my mind with them. Like, I want to wash and ‘do my hair and I feel like I ‘need’ to have my nails painted. I have been thinking of a nice grey colour, but does it even matter?! No.

I am also worried that I haven’t been doing a good job comforting my friend. I am terrible at it. The friend who had lost contact with her went to her house yesterday and stayed till the evening. What have I done? Nothing- well one call and some messages and emails. Hmm, maybe it is okay that I leave the comforting to the ones who can handle it. Plus I am sure she is being bombarded with messages and calls left right and centre.

This whole situation has also brought to mind that life is too short. I had to tell one of my friends about the death and I found that really hard. For the obvious reason and also that we have been ‘estranged’ for quick awhile (years). Since I told her, we have made massive strides in our relationship and I think a bridge may even have been mended. If there can even be a silver lining, this could be it.

It has also made me think of my ‘thing’ between me and my Dad. I still haven’t spoken to him. He reached out and I ignored his calls, then he sent me a message saying to contact him when I was ready but also that he doesn’t think he has done anything wrong. So, I don’t know… Bottom line, I’m not ready to talk to him about it all and I’ve had other things on my mind.

Anyway, so that’s what’s happening in my world at the moment.

♡ Week Five Results

Hey Guys!

Hope you are all fine and dandy. I am pretty good, in case you were wondering! haha.

So, today was my 5 week weigh in.

UNFORTUNATELY my weight loss for the week is sorta ‘left over’ from last week! What do I mean by that? Well, I have weighed the exact same amount for 5 or 6 days straight! Exactly the same! Not 100 gram difference on any day! Quite frustrating!

But anyway, this week I managed 1.4 kilos. Taking my total lost to 10.4 kilos. Pretty good for 5 weeks… and even better for 4 weeks and 1 or 2 days! Haha.


I purchased some cute as pie OTK boots (Over the Knee) on the eBay and I got them yesterday… as they were getting sent I thought hmm I might check the measurements. The seller had given the measurement for the bit that supposedly goes over your knee, I had a sneaking suspicion the thigh bit wouldn't fit, well not at the moment anyway… Eek, no way, not a chance!! I need to lose like 10 something cms there for it fit over my knee (EEEEK) and even then I actually want it to be a little loose. I am still 100% happy with my purchase though! They are everything I want in a boot (OTK, Black, Quilting, Buckles, wedge or flat, round toe, JUICY!)! They retail for US$249 (and $349 at David Jones!) and I got them for $99!! Bargainous!

Juicy OTK Wedge Boots!

I have wanted over the knee boots since I went to Canada, however long ago that was- I just checked, it was February 2010! All the chic ladies were wearing them, and I wanted to be chic too! Haha.

I bought a pair but they finally disintegrated last year (I still have them of course… haha, such a hoarder!). They weren't super expensive… Maybe $50, so they definitely weren't quality material. These new ones are though! Waxy suede- whatever that means! My Mum says it means water should run right off them. Hope so! I never wanted anything that was too high, or a stiletto heel (screams ‘street walker’) but the wedges are really comfy (I squeezed my leg into them to test if the shoe part fit) and I could actually walk in them and they felt very comfortable and supported. I have wide and fat feet so that is a big accomplishment! I couldn't even get the thigh bit over my calves though! Oh Lordy! Anyhoo… These will be perfect come winter. And super cute with my ‘leather-look’ leggings! Dontcha think??

Oh and back to my weigh in… I also take my measurements weekly and I quickly punch the deets into my phone and don’t even think about them. Afterwards, I am supposed to transcribe them into my journal and compare them to the week before. I haven’t done it now for 2 weigh ins! Naughty! I might sit down and do it now. Maybe I've been losing inches, wouldn't that be nice?!

That’s it from me! Speak to you all soon!

Clean Eating (&Happy LOVE Day)

Happy LOVE day everyone!

I hope you are all getting spoilt by your loved ones, and if not then I hope you are spoiling yourselves!

I won’t be seeing The BF tonight because my nephews are sleeping over and I haven’t seen them in ages… And it’ll be their first time visiting Bender since I got him back. So, I want to be there to see how that goes.

So, now that I have the formalities over, I just wanted to say I am back on the healthy eating bandwagon! Just a quick history I lost like 20 kilos a little while back and but it all back on and then some. Yeah. And then some.

I started yesterday, which just so happened to be Ash Wednesday- aka the first day of Lent. How convenient? I can pretend this is all in the name of being a good Catholic girl. Ha.

About 3 hours into the plan to eat healthy I was struck with a headache! I couldn't believe the detox symptom came on so fast but obviously I was rather toxic.

I’m not going lie, I have a truckload of weight to lose! I am in for a long ride on the healthy eating train.

Obviously my main incentive is to be healthy and happy but also I would like to be able to fit into the clothes in my wardrobe! I swore I would never buy myself fat clothes again… turns out I kinda had to.  I bought the bare minimum I could get away with and only cheap as cheap can be. Just basic stuff really.

Aside from my headache I already feel pretty good. It’s amazing how a proper diet can affect you so soon. I feel lighter and less bloated already- I lost 1.5 kilos overnight of pure water. I know it’s not fat but at least I am not carrying it around anymore! And I've only just begun!

Last week I realised I was really starting to feel dreadful. My feet are always swollen by the end of the day, I can't walk far without being puffed out, my thighs rub together like a bitch and the back of my legs throb as I walk waddle… I occasionally get dizzy spells and see spots- not a good sign. A guy at my work suggested I might have diabetes. He himself is a diabetic but I said I didn't think so and played down the issues I was complaining about- all while secretly having  a panic attack.

A few days later I realised I was always so thirsty but it seemed unquenchable. I decided to google it and… bang… the first thing that came up… diabetes!

I told my co-worker and he said "well, not to be disrespectful but you have gained an awful lot of weight recently"... It hurts to have that said to you but it's the truth.

I am really scared of getting diabetes! And so I should be- I am actually in serious jeopardy of being diabetic and all through self-infliction!!! I am super scared of needles and the thought of pricking myself daily or even injecting myself daily makes me quiver. The thought of it sent me straight into the arms of my healthy eating plan.

I don’t like to call it a diet and I realise it is quite a strict plan but I just want the weight gone. People have tried to sway me into going on weight watchers or what-have-you, but they just aren't for me. I have done them before and it just didn't work well for me. I need the strictness and I love how fast the weight comes off with my plan.

I don’t think it’s the speed of the weight coming off that is the issue for me to maintain a slimmer body. It’s that I don’t really understand ‘normal’… I revert back to my old habits when really I need to stick to my new ones (sounds easy but it so isn't . In reality I practically have avoid sugar like the plague forever. It is my drug. My addiction. One little taste of the sweet white stuff sends me into a tail spin!

So, anyway… I will try not to bombard you with weight loss stuff but it kinda becomes all I think of. Haha.

Anyway, hope you’re all having a lovely day!

Oh yeh…

That's right. I must have forgotten I had a blog?!

I get so caught up reading (and occasionally commenting on) other bloggies that I neglect my own. It’s funny cos I am constantly seeing things or buying things and being all ‘I am so going to blog about that!” and then... nothing.  

I have been pretty busy and yet I haven’t really done anything, so to speak.

Some things that have been going on;

♡ I have put on so much weight, it’s scary. I keep trying to jump back on the healthy/clean eating bus but fall flat on my bum when I see something yummy.

♡ I have been spending way way wayyyy too much money.

♡ I have bought a whole  new hair care system (Nioxin)

♡ My younger brother asked me a month or so ago if I wanted to go to the US with him and our little sister to go see the Rolling Stones, and of course I was all heck to the yeh (whose says no)… and then he said it was his shout, and I was like ‘say what?’… Can you believe it? I sure didn’t. I was of course super excited but thought it probably wouldn’t happen and that he was in dream land dancing with the pixies.

♡ ... yet somehow in 1 week and 4 days I will be on a plane to NYC!

♡ I am not exactly a Rolling Stones fan, so… I have massive guilt about that, but I don’t think my little sister is either. And who would turn down a trip to New York?! I have been brushing up bigtime though. turns out I do like some of their songs.

♡ At first I thought the trip was to Atlanta, Georgia… Don’t ask me why… but short story there was discussion and subsequent confusion (on my part) regarding a casino. I thought he said Atlanta but he was talking about Atlantic City which is NOT in Georgia. Derp. It’s New Jersey, which as we all know was devastated by the Super Storm, so I don’t know if the casino trips are still in the works (my brother is Poker player).

♡ So, did I mention I am going to NYC?! We are staying right near Times Square! Eeek. I can’t believe how soon it is?! 11 days!

♡ My boss is freaking out about me going away. It’s only for 10 days. Chill, Broseph. {side note; my phone just beeped, like the quietest most tranquil notification available and it blew his mind "Ahhh, what was that"... Calm down. end note}

♡ Being that the trip is so soon and was kind of a surprise, I have not saved any money. That sucks. I also don’t have credit cards (cannot. be. trusted)… So I don’t think I will be buying much, even though I want to. I want to so bad. Haha.

So more on that soon- Including my wish list abroad, my travel/packing plan, plane survival plan and what I want to see in NYC!

I also plan to blog about, among other things, my new Nioxin hair care plan (which I haven’t started), my new skincare plan (which I have started and may I just say ‘hello soft skin’), my makeup hauls, my Asian goodies (ie: Daiso) hauls, my ever growing collection of Glasshouse candles, et al .

I missed you blog!

{le me indulging in a Starbucks Gingerbread Frappuccino. I love Gingerbread!}

{couldn’t resist buying some Travel books at lunchtime today… So excited!}

I cannot believe how lucky I am to being going to NYC.

Bursting at the Seams...

I feel like bleugh, right now.

In reality I actually feel remarkably okay, but my jeans are so tight right and the expansion of my body is really uncomfortable. Yuk. Aside from that though, I have a pretty clear mind and don’t seem to be suffering from sugar detox too badly… At least not yet.

Today is Day One back on my eating plan. I bought this little notebook during lunch so I can record every single thing I eat or drink.

I am hoping to keep a pretty thorough account of what I eat and how I feel. It’s not like I was any happier when I was eating crappy foods, aside from the initial ‘Oohh yeh, Sugar high!’ feeling. I really need to get a grip on my emotional eating.

Beverages shall be my saviour. Green Tea, black tea and chamomile tea at night time. And plenty of water to flush out all the toxins! 

And yes, I will indulge in Diet Coke and Sprite Zero. They ought to tide over my sweet tooth.

Only one more sleep until I get my Tattoo!! Eeek. I'm not sure how long it will take, but I can only stay at the appointment for 1 and a half hours... So, unless I can cut my foot off and leave it there for George (my artiste) to complete, then I might have to leave before it's done! Aww. All that matters is that I have something done tomorrow.

I don't want it to be huge. About 4 cms wide and on the top of my foot, slightly towards my little toe. 

Here is some more pics

Close up of the Leopard Heart I want. 

Here are some different bows I am interested in. I kind of like that Disney Princess Style. I'm not even entirely sure what I mean, haha... But these bows remind me of Disney.

I will probably need to have the center of the bow a little bigger, to accommodate my "B" for Bindi.

I am thinking I could have the paw print at the tapered part of the heart between the bow ends (if you know what I mean). I'm super excited! This takes the edge off being too sad tomorrow.

Which bow do you guys like best? And where should I put the "B"? And the paw print?
I am actually thinking now maybe I should put the B with the paw print- wherever that may be... Although looking at the Leopard heart picture I can totally envisage a paw print there!

Mini Moments; Weekend Re-Cap

Well hello there, Monday… Fancy seeing you here.

My Weekend Mini Moments

♥ I totally got sucked in by;

♥Revlon Lip Butters
♥Pricey’s Buy One Get One FREE promo for Revlon, and
♥Pricey’s Bag of goodies!!

♥ I went through the register with $60 worth of goodies… Only to realise not everything was from the correct brands. Too embarrassed to say ‘oops, nah,’ so I purchased it all anyway…

♥ Then, I had to go to Pricey again for take two, as now I really needed the freebie bag as a matter of principle and ended up going over the $60 needed. Ha, of course! I sooo didn't even really want or need the bag, nor did I need or really want what’s in it. I am such a sucker! I haven’t even looked at the contents yet.

♥ My nephew came over for the Sleep Over I mentioned in my last post… Surprisingly enough, he wasn’t on the computer. What the? Ohh, it was because he brought his Xbox with him. Ha. The first thing he said to me was ‘Why did you leave?’ Ouchhhh! My heart strings! Why must the guilt be so bad?! First I pretended I didn’t hear. You know that old trick? But he asked again *sigh… I said ‘Oh, that was a long time ago now’… Hmm, I feel bad, but what do I say? Your mum drove me crazy and I felt like she was using me as her live-in babysitter. I mean, firstly, tip of the iceberg right there, and secondly and undoubtedly most importantly, it had nothing to do with the kids or me not wanting to look after them. So, I could never say that to him. I wouldn't. I could never tell him how I hated how much his Mother was drinking and then how bad she was drunk- I basically abandoned him and left them to deal with it. Nice huh?. Also, he had already asked me why I left before and I answered ‘I couldn't take it anymore’…. I kind of thought he knew what I meant. I guess not. He’s only 11.

♥ On Saturday I saw my sister and her new beau (bleugh vomit, hurl) when they came to pick my nephew up… Only 2 hours late. *raises eye-brow* I cannot stand the fake-ness. It kills me. Acting like everything is fine. Um, no. I am still so mad at her. I was in the worst mood after they left. Still am. I can feel my brows furrowing.

♥ I got a chance to paint my nails with one of my new Revlon impulse purchase polish in Popular, with a coat of OPI something about a date tonight underneath. Haha. See how crap I am with Polish names?! Haha. Um, I will try and find that out tonight. Basically I fished around for a nice pale pink colour to have under the Revlon. I love this Revlon Polish though!! It’s so dreamy!

haha, looks like I am holding an imaginary bottle of polish! Maybe I am??!

♥ Ooh, little secret, ladies (and maybe gents, who knows? I don’t judge)… I found the best nail polish remover in the world!!! Well maybe not the best ever, but seriously, it’s good. I found at this adorable little giftware Asian-y goodie shop near my work. It’s this cutesy little container with pre-moistened pads. I could not believe they actually worked and didn't dry out my nails. And, best bit, they don’t smell disgustingly nail polish remover-ish. In fact, they are scented! Apple, strawberry, mint… something else. Ohhh you better believe there is a review coming… Namely for when I take off this glittery Revlon Polish. That will show its' true worth (which was a mere $2 by the by)… Or maybe OPI’s Rainbow Connection is the true test. That’s Glitter-us Maximus!

♥ Fun things I bought that I can remember; Rimmel ‘Wake Me Up’ foundation, Too many Revlon Lip Butters (Including one for my upcoming Giveaway, ooh yeh!), Vera Wang Perfume: Rock Princess, Dove hair serum which was on special at Coles- Bargain (pronounced Barge-in, obviously), 2 Revlon Polishes (the pretty pink glittery Popular and a Minty green), I also got a Natio retractable Kabuki brush, Reef body butter—OMG Yum + Summer in goo form that magically hydrates your skin... Amongst other things!  

♥ Oh yeh, I also went shopping at DFO South Wharf (first time there, I thought it was the same as Habour Town?! Ooops) with the BF… Um, my God boys take sooo long to decide on purchases! I made a couple of purchases myself  here and there. All in good fun! I want to buy some running shoes, badly. But I don’t think my toe will permit running yet *sad face* and until I test that out in my normal old shoes, there will be no newbies for me!

♥ I am fat. I have put on sooo much weight since Good Friday. No jokes… I didn’t know it was possible to gain this much in such a short amount of time. I am officially going back on my diet tomorrow. Please be mainly water retention, please!

♥ 2 months until I turn 30. That’s rude.

♥ My BF is going to Poland for 5 or 6 weeks, with a layover in Korea. *sigh/sad face… He leaves just after my birthday.

♥ I have been madly saving pictures for my tattoo inspiration. I can’t draw for crap, so it’s not like I can whip something up myself. I know I definitely want that leopard print heart with the lace trim and the bow- but I want a different bow. I have also decided I will put the “B” in the centre part of the bow. As for the paw print… Well, I don’t know where to put it yet, but there must be a paw print.

So, any way… Those were my weekend Mini Moments!

Oh and good news for today... I have managed to avoid my annoying co-worker. Well, he did try and talk to me but I was saved by the phone! Yay. He asked how my weekend was, I said 'good' then the phone rang, so I didn't get his mundane rundown- like you just did about mine. hahaha/oops? I'm sorry.

He did walk by my office again and paused for a chat, but I was on hold with a bank!!! Bless you bank! For once, I am thankful for the 10 minute hold time!!!

ZOMG. Just as I was about to press publish post, I was accosted. 20 minutes of my life I will never get back. He asked me again about my weekend... Waiting for me to ask about his. All I answer is good. I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR ANTIQUE SHOPPING! or that your stupid morning tea was $21... for 2 people large coffees and a piece of cake each, it's not that bad?! Honest to God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The look on my face would have said it all... That, coupled with my fidgeting and sudden need to delete spam in my inbox and to put stuff away and basically re-arrange my desk. Shoot. I can't do this!!!!!! How many hints does he need. I can't feign interest much longer. 

Anyway, it's the end of the day. Finally!

Mwah! Until tomorrow!

♡ Week Ten ♡ aka: The week I crumbled and failed.

Well hello, dears!

Er, yes, as the title suggests I have a bit of a bad week. 

I eat these Kraft Premium crackers as part of my plan… and over the weekend I went completely nutsos. I could not stop. It got me thinking that maybe I am needing more food. It was like I was super hunger after every meal. And the crackers were not filling the void. I think I will probably need to up my protein. So, anyway… enough avoidance. My naughtiness meant I only lost 300 grams for week ten. Taking my total to 10.9 kilos. Not bad in reality, but still disappointed that I ruined the rest of the week by overindulging on the weekend. I was feeling sorry for myself, okay?!

I am trying to reign in as we speak- and so far no good. I have already over eaten slightly on the cracker front… Some might say I’ve gone crackers! Ive also had too much fruit as well. Gosh Darn it! 

On another note, it’s freezing in Melbourne today!.. and I hate the cold. I feel it to the max… To top it off, the central heating in my office isn’t working. Thanks, thanks a lot. Of course the handyman can’t come until tomorrow. Brrrrrr.

I have been having some issues with a jerk at work. He was really grating me last week and wouldn’t get the hint that I wasn’t enjoying his B.S. He was on my back about everything- anything I said he squashed down. When I was in considerable pain, where even bums on the street took pity upon my hobbling, he asked ‘is that for the sympathy vote?’ about 10 freakin times. It wasn’t funny the first time and it actually got me quite upset. He put me down a few times too, which I just do not appreciate (he made fun of my appearance and insinuated I was ugly… Just because you laugh don’t make it a joke… We were talking about dental work, and onto the subject of the gap in my teeth, which I had wanted to get fixed once upon a time… I then said how most people don’t even notice it anyway, and he said ‘that’s just what they say to you. Gaps are ugly. Gaps are a deformity.) It just not nice. That’s my smile you’re talking about. 

Then on top of all that, he made me do him a favour… He didn’t even actually ask, he just expected it and I wasn’t even thanked or apologised to even though it resulted in me staying back after business hours for 40mins. That’s 40mins of unpaid work for someone who I don’t work for?! We have 2 different businesses in this building; “everyone else” and me and my boss. We are completely separate entities. The jerk in question could have asked people from his own company- but shock horror, they don’t like him and he doesn’t like them0- so he asks me instead. I’m pretty sure it’s bad manners to ask for favours when you aren’t even being nice to someone. So, tsk tsk to him. Believe me when I say, he’s done his dash with me now. I am always polite… But I’ve had enough now. He monopolises my time with his boring banter, that I couldn’t be more uninterested in. Gardening?! I don’t have a garden! It’s come to light to me, that he must be rather unhappy, but anyway, I’m not letting him bring me down.  He’s already been in today for a mini-convo- BORING. I don’t actually care what you were up to over the weekend. I would have been if it was actually interesting, but it was just an itinerary. A boring itinerary. Example “so, we drove to the supermarket, we bought some groceries and took them home to put away in the fridge and cupboards”… I did that too, don’t hear me yabbering on about it! To be honest, he hurt my feelings so much last week that it wouldn’t have mattered what he had said. I am grrrrr@ him. He is on my naughty list!

Ooops, sorry for carrying on… haha.

In other news, my foot feels soooo much better. I stayed off it pretty much all weekend. The only thing I did was go to the supermarket- as mentioned briefly above, but imagine it done with more pizazz than my jerk co-worker, I walked my dog and took him to the HYDRO-BATH for DIY job… He actually looks adorable. Plus I got him a cute faux-sheepskin lined duffel coat- so cute. Haha. I also went and saw The Hunger games at Village with The BF. I {hearted} it! I haven’t read the books, but now I want to! The BF was sick… he ate something undercooked. *shakes head*

I have booked in for my next 2 Xtend Barre classes in one week from tomorrow. I am excited! Now, I just need to make sure my foot is 100% by then! 

This was supposed to just be my weigh in post, but I blabbered on. 

Cheerio possums!

♡ Week Nine ♡

 Hi peeps!

Ahh, I have made it through to week nine of my lifestyle change…

This week, I lost 1 kilo! Yay. I only have 3.6kilos to go to get to my goal! Yay!

I purchased a jacket on the eBay, which arrived today at work… I can get it on, but it’s too small *sighhhhh… So, I have a feeling I might drop my goal weight further. 

Here are my measurement results:

5 inches from my waist (narrowest point)

3 inches from my hips (widest point)

And

4 inches from my bust. 

Oh and I was reading PolkaDotPearls Blog on Friday that made me rethink my bra/cup size… Over the weekend I checked my measurements. I wear a B Cup at present and according to my calculation I should be a D!! (P.S- woo hoo, if that is true). I have 2 vouchers to use at La Senza, and I am SO testing out some D Cups!!!

My toe is so sore!!! I went to the Docs on the weekend and am due for an x-ray tonight. Eeek. It has been hurting even more since visiting the Doc… So, that’s great. I got some drugs, and they appear to make the pain worse?! RUDE. 

My Doc said I would have to go back to him to get the results (in 2 days) but hopefully the x-ray operator will be able to tell me if it is broken. I am on one (1) crutch today. It’s actually making walking easier. I can’t stand to walk on the side of my foot anymore… It makes the pain much worse. 

In happy chappy news, my Essie nail polish Ozsale order arrived today! Eeeek!!! Only 2 out of 3 arrived though… Then I checked online and somehow, magically, I managed to get it sent to my old house!! Grrrrr! I have 2 mini sets and 6 full size polishes here, and there are 3 more full sized ones waiting for me! Exciting. The colours are all SO me!! I will do a post on them once they are all reunited!

Oh, and on the topic of nail polishes… I am so rude. I have been meaning to say a big thank you to Miss Directions for the prize I won on her blog a while back. I have enough nail polish to last me 1000 years! Again, separate blog post. 

Oh and on the topic of competitions... I also won one off the lovely Kiki Chaos, like 10 thousand years ago... I will POST on that!

I have issues adding pics to my computer at work and this is where I blog from…

Ciao for now! And I’ll update you on my tootsie toe… when I know!

♡ Week Seven ♡

Generally Monday is my weigh in day, but over the weekend we had a family BBQ and I decided to let my hair down and go off the diet.

So, seeing as I was a good little dieter throughout the rest of the week, I decided to take weigh in and take my measurements on Sunday instead.

So, for Week Seven, I lost 1.4 kilos!!

Yay!

That takes my grand total to 8.9 kilos in 7 weeks (1.2kgs a week, for those playing at home). So, now I kind of have 5.3kgs to go until I reach my goal. Why kind of? Well, for starters... The BBQ and all its naughtiness...

And treat myself I did!

At the BBQ, not only was I not eating my usual lunch, I had some creamy salads... One was potato and the other was pasta. I also had a sausage. And then my Mum rolled out the big guns... Chinese Sausage. I {heart} these sausages, and when I found out she had gotten some that was what tipped me over the edge to indulge. Then there was cake. It was a double whammy birthday celebration, so I had some. I am P.O'd cos it was just a sponge... So, I wish I hadn't wasted the indulgence on it, but nonetheless, what's done is done. Stop there? hahaha. No.

Then I was all big noting my favourite grocer!

Tommy D's!

So, me and my Brother's Baby Mama, Vivvi, went on an excursion, so I could show it off. haha. She was into it. Phew. Don't you hate it when you talk something up, and the other person isn't impressed?

But, yeh, there was taste testing on! That was then end of that! I had a little Camembert cheese, a slice of flat bread pizza, and some yummy flat bread with cinnamon and sugar (sweet, sweet, poisonous sugarrrrr).

I ended the night guzzling water (massive headache, thank you sugar!) and no dinner (no room!).

I woke this morning (aka Monday= my real weigh in day) and had gained back 1.3 kilos! Noooooooo. I am pretending it didn't happen! Cos it'll be mainly water, so fingers crossed I move it before my next weigh in next Monday!

♡ Lazy blogger; week four and five results ♡

Well hello there, Strangers!

To update a bit on my last post and what’s happened since… 

Weight loss;

Well, if I thought my weigh in last week was disappointing, than this latest one was devastating!! Dramatic? Yes. Haha. Seriously though, I put on weight. What the truck?! Now, that’s rude. The thing is, I weighed myself the day before and had lost 1.3kilos for the week, then miraculously weighed an extra 1.7kgs the next morning?? Hey now! C’mon!! *ultimate sad face*

I do know that it is impossible for me to have really gained that much overnight… so, something’s up. I have been having some lady issues of late, but let’s not discuss that! Haha. So, I am assuming that is the issue. None the less, I was and still am disappointed- especially considering this situation hasn’t improved.

In summary, last week (my 4^th week weigh in) I lost 600 grams and this week (5^th week weigh in) I put on 400 grams. Making my 5 week weigh in total only 5.4kilos. 

That’s B + S. 

I started the plan on 16^th January, so I have been on le diet for 36 days. Feels like so much longer!

If it doesn’t improve next weigh in, I may have to change tactics!

Fitness;

As I noted, I started the C25K program and started my 3^rd week last night. Ay, caramba!! It was slightly hard last night… I went from running a maximum of 90secs a pop, to 3 mins. Oh Lordy, was I counting down the seconds! 

I actually had a massive headache on Monday- the type that could turn migrainic (not exactly a real word) at a moment’s notice, so I am quite proud that once I felt somewhat better I hauled my butt to le gym. Proud!

Let it be known, my recent spurt of exercise may be causing my weight to halt and that headache I had, which no doubt coincides with my lady issues (which shall not be discussed *wink*) may also have contributed. (so, like I mentioned above if I don’t see an improvement next week, my tactical change may be to increase my food.)

I must say though I feel skinnier and best best best of all, healthier and fitter! I also feel like I am losing pudge differently around my mid-section! As an apple shape, this is paramount to my body shape. I have a secret weapon too… Purchased from the lovely Amazon (linky), I introduce to you my pretty purple, Danksin waist trimmer. 

Behold

 What Amazon say:

Fit n' Trim... Our smart waist trimmer belt with comfortable fastener tape closure for an easy, adjustable fit is designed to preserve body heat, promote water loss and provide extra back support during exercise. Quality neoprene construction makes it comfortable, lightweight, durable, and virtually care-free. A great addition to your fitness gear!

Sounds gimmicky, no? Well, I swear I have noticed a difference and I sweat like a mothertrucker around my waist when I wear it and I forgot to bring it to le gym one time and there was a notable difference. I like to sweat. I like to make my fat cry!!

Unfortunately I may lose my gym privileges!! Not 100% sure on that, but I really hope not. Still not brave enough to venture outside.
