OK,OK,OK,Here it is,before everyone really kicks my butt!My diary is up,does this mean I have to be serious about weightloss now!
Firstly april,it makes me cry still to read about your life story!Your daughters tragic end!:( I am with you all the way april!Dont you forget that,you have been through so much,you are a strong woman capable of anything you set your mind to!
I hope we are friends for ever,thanks for all the support you give me with your words!
Enough mushy stuff!I have definately not been dieting today!Michael[my husband,truck driver!]brought home 3 1kg[2.2lbs each]pavlova bases that were in a box with some damaged ones!They were going to throw them in the bin so he brought them home!Gave one to the neighbour,whipped up some cream,chopped some strawberries/kiwi fruit/pinapple pieces,put them on top of it.My sister in law came over we drank some bourbon/cokes and had big pieces of it to eat!Arnt we bad girls!
Monday I will be back on track,with aerobics every day,tons of salads etc....
 
I don't know what pavlova is, but judging by what you put on it, SEND ME SOME!!!! No, I take that back. Hide it from me!
I'm glad you finally started your diary, and yes that means it's time to get serious! Thanks for being so sweet. I'm very proud to call you my friend! Now that I'm gonna quit smoking, I'll have over $3 a day to put in my Australia fund! Boy your husbands gonna freak out one day when this strange little short woman is standing on your door saying where should I put my bags?:eek:
 
Good luck with your diary, you wil get lots of support to help reach your goal just go easy on the pav

Kapla!
 
:) Pavlova is a sugar and egg white crusty baked yummy cake, you just add cream on top and fruit pieces.The other one left has a use by date of 14th january,so I am taking it to my dads on christmas day.
I have already told michael that you and your husband will be coming to stay from texas one day!Hes ok with it!Keep saving,I should start a texas fund too!!!:p
Well had the last piece of pavlova from the fridge after lunch today!Its all gone now so I cant be bad anymore,well till christmas day anyway.Michael brings home heaps of stuff that companys were going to throw out!7 packs of toilet rolls,bottles of shampoo,fruit/veg nothing wrong with it!
When theres people starving in other countries we are throwing stuff like this into bins!
I make a heap of salads up,eat them for tea most nights!My rat/rabbit/guinea pigs/cockys love the fresh fruit/veg scraps they are getting heaps of lately!
It was sooo hot today,I brought the rat inside in the travel cage out of the heat.He lives in a fish tank with a ventilated roof under my verander.It gets really hot for him so I have to bring him in.The cockys /rabbits etc had to be sprayed with the hose 3 or 4 times to cool down.
It went up to 38 degrees,really hot!
Last night sitting outside we were bombarded by bugs/mozzies/wasps/crickets,you name it!My sister in law Lorraine was freaking out when they kept landing in her hair!We were laughing at her,we got a chip and threw it in her hair when she wasnt looking!She was screaming jumping up and down thinking it was more bugs swatting at her hair!We were cracking up laughing,heaps funny!
The kids had a ball,it was so warm I let them stay up longer so they could play outside.We got Twitchy out[rat] and she was freaking about him too!He is very gentle and never bites anyone,the kids hold him too!
I will check in tomorrow ok diet bosses!?!?:)
 
Woo hoo you have a diary lol.
You’re a bourbon girl, my fave is Bacardi YUMMMMM
I can tell you I will be having a few of those over Christmas lol.
Up here we drink xxxx… have to support the state lol.
Are you still doing the step class? It sounds like fun.
Im making a layered pav for Christmas they look so pretty.
Its amazing what they throw away isn’t it. I worked with a charity and we used to pick up there leftover bread for the day to give to the homeless, they started to get scared to give it to us because if they got sick and blamed it on them they were worried they would sue them. It’s a sad world we live in hun and it’s always the ones who need the help the most that miss out.
OMG you have a rat… I used to have 4 of them lol. They are the best pets, so affectionate. The 3 girls had 13 babies each all within 3 days of each other, lucky brad had built them a really big cage. I gave the babies to the pet shop and I had a running order for them. They were really pretty so I don’t think they went for snake food. It has been getting hotter here as well but it’s a bit cooler today. ROFL you guys sound like us that’s something we would do to our mate’s lol. I hope your having a good day hun.
 
I have 2 questions for you and Rhonda,
1. My mom is making a tape for me with a song on it called 7 white boomers??? What's up with that?
2. Do you know where my mom can find any Rolf Harris music? Her record broke and nobody locally can find it for her. Any ideas?
 
ROLF HARRIS!!!Havent heard anything about him in years!Last time I saw him he was doing the english[london]version of a vet reality show!Im sure his music is still available in the music stores,here in australia anyway!
As far as the seven white boomers,I will ask my dad about that one!I will get back to you April,sounds familiar to me thou.
Yes I like a bit of bourbon now and again,dont mind a bit of bacardi either,get into the breezers.They are expensive when you go to nightclubs,6 or 7 bucks a bottle.Your money goes down quick.
I do step class every thursday,the instructor is Belinda,she wears shiploads of make up.It freaks me out how her skin is so clear with the sweating and makeup together.I do aerobics from monday to friday in the mornings,too hectic at night!
The stuff my husband gets is from a damaged carton that woolworths or whoever wont accept.Waste of money to the stores if you ask me.
Yeah love my twitchy rat,he is dark brown and white and really friendly.Dont know about breeding them,have to separate them when the babies are born.
We had heaps of fun laughing at my sister in law,the neighbour came over for a few drinks too.Got a stereo outside all the time,a drinks fridge nice big outdoor setting under the verander.
We are planning a BBQ party on new years,dont want to go out,got the kids to think about!BYE!
 
April the song goes …
6 white boomers, snow white boomers and I don’t remember the rest of the words after that lol it’s been a long tome since I have heard the song. If you can’t find his songs anywhere I will have a look here and send you his cd if I can find it they can’t be that expensive, just let me no hun.

Magenta
Nope not in to the breezers they taste to sickly to me, but I sure do love it with coke lol. When I go out I just drink beer it just gets to expensive other wise.
Your exercise sounds good and it sounds like fun.
It’s unreal what they wont except, but hey good for you guys especially with the price of groceries now days.
When they have babies just take the male out and put him in a separate cage. All 3 of my girls were in the one cage but one of them (missy) stole all the babies all the time lol she thought they were all hers; she was a really good mum.
It sounds like you guys had a really good time, for new-year this year we are taking the kids to a kids disco lol from 1 till 5 then we are taking them down to the beach to see the fire works, we should be home by 7 then its our time…have a few drinks to bring in the new year. Im looking forward to it, it should be fun.
 
I am begging for anything by Rolf that anyone can help me with. There is nothing anywhere in the US that we can find. Moms been searching for 4 years now!!!
Magenta, I need your address
I've been properly corrected by 4 people now about the white boomers I was counting one for Rudolph!!!
 
Been pretty good today,my sister-in-law is getting me the csiro diet book for xmas.It is sopposed to be a pretty good diet and easy to follow.
I am still on the G.I. diet but havent found a lot of easy recipes to follow.I am not a good cook!
I am going to think about the rat breeding rosered,got a spare cage.Will ask the local pet store if they will take them first!
I will send you a rolf cd if you want April,I will look in the stores today.Being so old it wont cost much,no insult intended!
The kids have got a music cd with the song 2 little boys,my dad said Rolf sang it in his 'hay' day.Its about 2 brothers who have rocking horses,one breaks his and cries,the other brother lets him ride on his with him.It goes along to when they grow up and in the war.The younger brother gets hurt,and falls from his horse.The older brother comes along to let him ride on his horse again and saves him!
I really like the song,sad but a nice song thou.
BYE!:)
 
Hi just a quick note to say that all the christmas shopping is driving me nuts!Today I was lucky to have a nice sister in law who watched the kids while I shopped!
Had heaps of stuff to get!Dragging them along with me would have been a nightmare!Almost done it all now!Glad when its all over!
 
Congrats on your Christmas shopping success. It does take a lot ofe ffort and mental capacity to get it all done! Yay you are almost there!!
 
I had a bit of a look around for low gi books and there are a few, if you would like one give me a yell and I will see if I can find some from a seconds book shop for you. Did you find out if the pet shops wanted any baby rats? My dad loved rolf harris and I nearly cried every time 2 little boys came on, it’s a good song. Lol mate I think Christmas shopping is driving us all nuts, what I cant belive is how rude people are at this time of year. Have you got every thing done? Im starting the cooking today…keep my hands busy. I will be glad for Christmas day to get here so we can all sit back and relax…..ahhh wont that be nice lol.
 
Hey, girl! Are you ready for Christmas now? I've got one more trip to make tomorrow and then I'm done. It's the hardest one though. Tomorrow is my trip to take Christmas flowers to the cemetary. My mom takes care of it all year long for me. I only do Christmas and Birthday. It's just too hard to do anymore than that. Ok, on to happier things. We now have 6 white boomers and 2 little boys. Magenta, I would be sooo thrilled if you could send me anything you can find. That goes for anyone else too! I'd be more than happy to pay you back for whatever it costs! Well, MERRY CHRISTMAS and I'll be back to kickin butts after the NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!
 
:) Thanks Rhronda,I have borrowed a heap from the library and they have a few recipes in them I like!
It will be hard to stick to it until after christmas.My sister in law is giving me the CSIRO Diet book for xmas.I have heard its really good and easy to follow.I am going to continue not to eat 'whites',bread,flour ETC...
The poor rat is feeling the heat and I have to bring him inside during the day in the travel cage!It gets really hot in the tank!
I am going to put a wooden roof over the cockys cage to keep them cooler during the day!I am going to extent the cage so they can have a bit of a fly around if they want to.
Dont think I will breed the rat,got too many animals to deal with as it is!They are all a lot of work!
My dad also loved Rolf!I will ask in the music stores if they have anything of his and order a greatest hits.I will send it over to April.Dont think it would cost much $10 or $20 at the most!
I am trying not to cook too much this year,got 2 hams(halves)in the fridge,make some salads,some kabanna/mettwurst nibbles,cheese.
We are going to my dads for the main lunch meal,we will all be too stuffed to eat much for tea anyway!
I will try to be good and not eat too much yummy stuff,it will be hard thou!
Went into the city to take kids to see Magic Cave/santa,not many people in there but a big line up to see santa,so I told them we can see him at our local shopping centre.
Not many people shopping in town,the suburbs are open all hours now too.Has taken a lot of the business from town I guess,all the big stores are everywhere in the suburbs now too.
Yes there are a lot of rude people around too.People have forgotten that christmas is for the kids mostly.There is no tolerance for kids anymore.Not that I let my kids just run amuk in the stores,people are more about themselves now.
Well I have still gotta get about 5 xmas presents to get today,I will check back in tomorrow,BYE!!!

Thanks Magenta that would be fantastic. I know what you mean about the people. They get so wrapped up in what they're doing, they don't pay attention to anything. Then they can't understand why the kids are so excited. Every kid on earth is "running amok" at this time of year!
 
Were are you girl you were almost on page 3:eek:
That’s the problem with diets, finding ones you like the foods lol. Did you get the csrio book hun? Wow how hot has it been the last few weeks, we have been living in the pool. Poor animals not much the poor little buggers can do to get out of the heat, the only thing I can suggest for the rat and the birds is to get a spray bottle and spray them with a mist of water every so often. I have decided that im not cooking for Christmas next year, it cost around $600 for the food and I threw so much out. Well I have put on over Christmas so I now have the next 9 days to get it off before I go to weigh in at ww, I need some buddies so get your but back here.:D
 
Yeah I have been busy posting in other peoples diarys!I put one in yours about the CSIRO book.I am going to start doing my exercise tapes at home,and really get stuck in!
I am going to buy a fat/water percentage scales,to really keep track of my progress properly!
I am really motivated and ready to kick butt!!!!!!:D
 
Good to see ya back, I hope your CSIRO book helps you make better food choices but be carefull of those scales they can be very inacurate, if you can get someone experienced to take your fat measurments using calipers to get an accurate value.
 
You go girl sounds like you have the motivation bug
