Don't you love those weeks that go so fast and there are lots of laughs and excitement!
This week has been one of those weeks. Firstly my youngest miss was back at school (which she was totally excited about) so I was able to go back to the gym and get a few things done that were put on hold last week. Having little missy back to her old rowdy self certainly made us all feel a lot better.
A few friends and I took advantage of having all the kids at school for a last chance girly flick before the school holidays kick in. There is nothing better than a movie that is so funny that your tummy hurts and you're dying to pee by the time it's finished! This awesome movie day was topped off with the girls choir & band concert last night. I was very proud to watch my big miss perform in the band for the first time, she did a fantastic job and was so proud of herself! Little miss certainly put her own stamp on her performance with her butt slapping dance routine (definitely a proud mother moment! lol), she must get her dance moves from her father!!
Anyway this week was topped off by a day in the tuckshop (which anyone who knows me will know that it's something I always said I would never do). But I have to say that I had the best day! What a great bunch of women to work with (just don't tell them I said that! lol) and another day full of laughter! I will now admit that I was wrong (which I am sure is a first-lol) and tuckshop can be fun ;-)
I am feeling really blessed to have had such a funny week and I wish that everyone could have a whole full week of laughter like I have had this week. It is much better than any bottle of wine I've ever had!
Happy Weekend :-)

Sorry I Don't Have Fries With This Shake!
Tuesday 14th June 2011
Finally I got back to the gym today!! Since my last visit they have gotten an awesome new addition to their machines. They got two of those "jiggle your fat" machines that you stand on and they vibrate all the fat out. Let me just say that it was the funniest way to start back at the gym after having that time off. I hopped on and pressed start and all of a sudden my whole body started to jiggle so hard that even my jiggles jiggled!! By the time my 10 minutes were up and I hopped off my whole body was still shaking! Talk about a total body workout!
If this "jiggle your fat" machine works as well as it jiggles your fat then I'm gonna be skinny in no time!!
I can thoroughly recommend everyone to give it a go! Even if you don't like it, it's a guaranteed giggle for your jiggle!

Good Feeling
Monday 13th June 2011
Today I am on top of the world!! Why? I have no idea!! I am just happy to be here and it is such a wonderful feeling!
I have really found a place in my life where things are good. Don't get me wrong, nothing is perfect. We still haven't sold our house and are on a very strict budget (so that means no shoes!) but none of that matters. We are all healthy and happy so that makes us the richest people in the world!
Tomorrow, both girls will be back at school so that means I will be able to get back into the gym and use this energy to keep myself with this wonderful feeling :-)

Living the High Life
Sunday 12th June 2011
After a quiet week at home with my youngest girl after her mouth operation, we topped it off with a fun filled, jam packed weekend. We were lucky enough to be given a weekend away (well we were lucky enough that hubby works for such an awesome place that gave us a weekend away for the extra work he did during the floods). So we packed our bags and headed down the coast to Broadbeach to stay at the new Peppers Resort. What a beautiful place! I could certainly get used to the five star lifestyle!!
The biggest thing I love about holidays is how relaxed we all are. The other fantastic thing is that we did so much exercise but, because we were having fun, it didn't even feel like we were exercising at all!! A 5km walk along the sand when your with your family is so much better than going on your own - so is running around at laser skirmish! Thankfully the rain stayed away until we were safely back at our room!!
Although we were living the five star life (and loving it) I have to say that I don't think I will ever be classier than a 3 star - especially since I managed to have a major stack over a chair in the lounge room (and there was no reason for it either!!) Lucky there was no damage to the room (I can't say the same for me though!) lol.
After such a nice relaxing weekend my batteries are all recharged and ready to get back into the gym now that both girls will be heading back to school on Tues :-) Although you wouldn't hear any complaints from this little black duck if the long weekend never ended!!

Happy 100th Post to me!
Tuesday 7th June 2011
Wow! I can't believe I made it to 100 posts!
I found this whole blogging thing an interesting experience. It has helped keep me on the exercise track (which to be honest I really need because I have no will power whatsoever!) and it has also been helpful in getting things out of my brain. I am hoarder, I can't seem to part with anything in case "it might come in useful one day". I am also a hoarder in my brain, I also can't seem to let anything go out of it either. I will go to bed at night and still be thinking about the day events and then can't sleep. Writing this blog helps clear some space so I can wind down and recharge for the next day.
This week has been a very quiet week for our family. My youngest had an operation on her mouth yesterday so she has been especially quiet. Isn't it funny, I feel sometimes that I am always telling the kids to stop whinging or stop fighting and quieten down, but when they're sick it's so quiet that I can't wait for them to be rowdy and start fighting again! I can't believe how brave my little girl has been. She is in obvious pain and discomfort but not once has she complained. She has been taking it all in her stride. I am continually amazed at how strong kids can be!
So I will dedicate this post to my brave little girl and her extremely helpful big sister - they certainly make every day so much brighter and I am so lucky to be their mum xx

Driving me Crazy!
Friday 3rd June 2011
Today I finally got some answers from the doctor! Here I was for so long thinking I was going crazy because I felt so horrible and tired all the time and now I find out that it's all part of my stupid mutant genes and my levels being too high! I am so glad that I went and asked the questions! If I hadn't been so stubborn I would've been medicated for depression which is what my doctor had originally told me. It certainly pays to get a second opinion!!
Although I had to have more blood tests to see where my levels are today and I will need to "be leeched" (as I like to call it) at least it will hopefully mean that I will get some energy back and be able to get back into things. I have everything crossed that pretty soon it will be sorted and I will finally be back to my old self. It feels so good to know that it's not all in my head and I can't wait until next Wed to get my results back so we can work on a "plan of attack" as the doctor said! I like the sound of that!

Screech to a Halt
Wednesday 1st June 2011
Wow!! It's winter already!
It has been one of those weeks where I never seem to stop but I get nothing done. To top it off I have also been fighting off the lurgy I caught from the kids. So this week has been the worst week to try and make it to the gym. In fact I haven't made it once!! Unfortunately, I actually won't be able to get back there until next Wednesday!
I am not going to let it bother me though, My issues with getting to the gym are taking a back seat at the moment in my priorities. I found out yesterday that my youngest, my baby, has to have an operation on her mouth next Monday. This is one of those moments where I wish that I could have it done instead and take away all the fear and pain. It is so hard to watch your little ones go through something awful and there's nothing you can do to make it easier (even if you know it's to make them feel better).
So instead of losing myself in my own frustration and stress that the exercise is on pause at the moment, I am going to use the time off to my advantage and get the things done that I have to so that I can spend all of my time making my little girl feel better next week.
