I'm Still Here

I'm not sure how many people out there follow my blog. But I'm sure that with no posts for the last 7 months that you've all thought, " Oh she's given up". Well no, that not the case. with work, and kids, and life I just haven't had time to do a great deal of anything.

My weight loss definitely slowed down over the winter months, but I'm pleased to say that I didn't gain. That in itself is a huge achievement. Since May I've lost another 9 kgs. Not a fantastic loss, considering the time frame. But it is loss all the same. The pace seems to have picked up over the last few weeks, since the weather has warmed up. So I'm hoping to shift a whole lot more over the summer.

My weight loss to date is 28.5 kgs, in 43 weeks. Here's hoping a shift a whole lot more in the next few months.

So much has happened since my last post, yet I can't think of much to write. we went on holidays in October to the beautiful Sunshine Coast. If I wasn't such a sook and wanted to be near my family, I would move there in a heartbeat. I love the Sunshine Coast so much, that I get depressed when I come home. All I can think of is when can we get back there.

I got my first tattoo while we were there. I've been carrying around a picture of a dragonfly for 2 years. I didn't want to jump in and then not like my tattoo in a few years time, so I looked at the picture alot before I got it done. i figured that seeings I still liked it after 2 years that it would be OK to get it permanently etched into my skin. I'll get a photo and post it soon. I'm very happy with it. But I've found it to be a little addictive, I'm already thinking about what to get next. Hmmm.....decisions, decisions.

Jack turned while we away. My how that time has flown. He's really developing his own little personality now, and I'm enjoying watching him explore his world. He's very independent, and yet still enjoys his snuggles with mum.

My sisters husband found himself a new partner via the Internet. That's all good and well, but he really should have left my sister first. He got caught out when she found some emails from his new love. Needless to say, they have separated, and now the kids are finding it difficult adjusting to not living with their dad. Men can be so selfish sometimes. I'm not going to rave on about the male species, I'm happily married. But jeez, do men really have to think with their pants and not their brain. Apparently he'd been carrying on this online "affair" for 4 months behind my sisters back. Bloody idiot, that's all I can say.

Let's see, what else has happened?.........Oh yeah I had my 34th birthday. Quite uneventful really. Just had a quiet night at home with the family. Originally I was planning a party but when the time came, it was the last thing I felt like doing. So a quiet night was had.

Lana turned 4. Of course a party was held for her, and she picked the most difficult cake out of the book, a Fairy Castle. But I followed the instructions very closely and I actually received lots of great comments. It wasn't really that hard, just very time consuming. (4 hours, of very tedious work) Lana was very happy with the finished product and that's all that matters. We hired a jumping castle for the party and the kids had a ball.

So that's all I can think of for now. My next post won't be in 7 months time. I will keep you all updated. Just please leave me a comment so I know I have some readers......please.

Take Care
