Well...its like this....I had become intangled in a challenge....I had done the best I thought I could do....and it was enough to get me over the line...ahead of the others!!!!! But am I happy???? Not on your Nellie!!!! See....I kinda started out ok...went really well in the middle...kinda fell a little towards the end....then when the organisers decided to call it quits.....I was kinda happy!!!! But when I compare just what I have done...to where I wanted to be....and I kinda know the best way is to do it properly and slowly...kinda want things now!!!!
Back on the 01/01/02.....these are my measurements: Bust: 43" Waist: 34" Hips: 42" Upper thigh: 24" Calves: 16" Now today they are: Bust: 41" Waist: 31" Hips: 40" Upper thigh: 22" Calves: 15.5" So, heres my plan...new site.....new goal!!!! Just got more incentive thrown my way......Looks like there could be a trip to Bali or Penang coming up...just us girls!!!! Soooo....the fact that Im the biggest in the boobs line...(and mostly everywhere else!!!) I plan to get leaner without drastic measures....so that when we do fly to the fun.....Im going to be able to enjoy having my pics taken....instead of being the one to take them!!!! So anyone wishing to offer advice...help...or just add porn to this site....go for it!!!! Anything that makes me come back here and use these magic fingers for the good of the world....is a good thing in my book!!!! |

Thanks baby...I hope this is like the last one as well!!!! You dont have to worry about the bust...there is still plenty there for you to play with!!!! And as Albob says..he could kiss it all night and not hit the same spot twice!!!! I still have problems with guys not knowing what colour my eyes are!!!!! As for those pics...I suppose you want the private screening ones as well!!!!

or at least a moment of silence.... ![]() |

Lmao....there is nothing more sad than crying over lost fat!!!!
Went to the gym last night....started out doing free weights.. upper body until something went "ping" in my hand!!! Ive always had a problem with my wrists...so Ive been working the muscles around it...now it appears that my thumb has gone out on strike!!! The main problem is that it hurts when I use it...damn, more straping tape!!!! Oh well take a couple of days off the upper body and concentrate on the lower and cardio!!!! |

Got to the gym .......... cant cope without it...does that make me a gym junkie!!!! Wrist is ok...strapped it up so that I wouldnt do anymore damage...was going to only do legs...but got caught up with an old friend ..... turned out to be an arms night!!!!!!! Started to laugh at one of the other "oldies" at my gym...he started at the same time as me.......Im losing size he is trying to bulk.....the case of the giggles started when he walks past me... did a double take...comes back and drops the old line...."Havent I seen you before?!!.....Ohhh sorry thought I might be able to get in a quickie before I start!!!" From there on...each time we passed each other...we tend to "flick" towels at one another!!! Serious workouts.........NOT!!!

Had an interesting conversation with the girl at the front desk...turns out the place got broken into again....only they destroyed doors to lockers..knowing they had nothing in them...put heeps of shyte in the spa and pool....but when they got up stairs...they had left all the expensive equipment alone...and damaged the mirrors again!!! Thats the second time in as many months!!! Its a new gym in a fairly new area....wouldnt mind getting my hands on the little shytes...my rottie would love to help as well!!! |

Well up until last weekend everything was fine.....going great guns with the weights...increased to the next level in the weights for both legs and arms!!! Got serious about the Elliptical Machine!!! Started out being a scaredy-cat...only started with 10 mins!!!! Yep you bet...hated it!!! But by the end of that week...man I was looking forward to the challenge...now Im up to at least 25 min!!!! Hurts like hell...but thats what Im there for.... well that and the eye-ball work-out!!!! I just love the sensation of walking down the stairs when I've finished the complete nights training...and the legs feel like jelly!!!! That and the sudden rush when the cool air hits you when you walk outside!!!
I refuse to get anywhere near the scales.....everytime I do...I hate what I see...although there are a number of my clothes that do fit more than well now....so that is my measure!!!! Food wise....I hope Im not the only one who has this...but with little kids...once a week we have a pick anything to eat night!!! They get to pick what they want to eat...dosent matter whether its junk food (pizza is mainly the choice) or chicken...right down to good old fish and chips by the water!!!! This is great for them... but I feel like Im missing out!!! Not that I want to eat this...cos I even opt for the salad over the deep fried fish...but I remember when all I wanted to eat was this crap...now its the last thing I can stomach!!! |

Well....life pretty much sucks big time in my house at the moment!!!! I received an early Easter present from one of my work mates....a really good chest/throat/head cold...when the rest of the household comes down with it in sympathy!!! So needless to say...no gym....no going out to parties....no having good time on computer....hell...dont you just love it when the 37 yr old child just wants to lie on the lounge and snuffle all day!!!!
I have kept up with my no eating chocolates ban!!!! The kids have so many the spare fridge is totally full....so I make it a point of not going to that one!!!! Lol....ok...I sneek a peek every once in a while....just to count how many the darlin's have eaten during the time Im at work!!!! Works great.....had a run in with an ex-workmate...he's in Customs and Im in Quarantine....he has an attitude problem...he didnt like the fact that I got a trainers postion before he did!!!! Needless to say one sad puppy with a grudge still in place. Some here would laugh at the "niceness" I've been displaying to him... I believe Sugary sweet....is a good line to use!!!! This drives him batty!!!! He has told some of the co-workers that he plans to put in a formal complaint (sexual harrassment) against me....you see I called him "sweetheart" once ...... he's not used to people being nice to him!!!!! Will let you know the developements as they progress....... ![]() |

Hey girl!
I'm sorry you're sick. I know that sucks...hopefully it will get better soon. The fact that you are staying away from chocolate is amazing. I have much respect for you. Your coworker sounds like an ass. I hope you were joking that he might put it a complaint on you. Seems to me he should thank you for giving him any positive attention at all! ![]() |

Well it appears that the shyte has hit the fan...so to speak in regards to my harrassment!!!! It appears that the little turkey was overheard mouthing off at some of his own co-workers (they have started calling him petal now!!!! Devine intervention in my books!!!!) by his superiors....they summonsed him to explain his attitude....hense the shyte hitting the fan. I was then called to my superiors office only to find myself infront of his bosses as well!!! They wanted to know my side....then they wanted to know if I wanted to make a formal complaint!!!!!! My response:
After I controlled my laughter....I explained that he was getting his own punishment dished out to him by his own co-workers... that was more than enough...'cos they had longer memories than anything else on the planet!!! So his little stunt backfired.....so now...everytime I walk past any of his co-workers they all call me sweetheart...and I call them petal!!!!! Then we all crack up laughing!!!! Other than that...went straight to the gym from work...did a great hour and a half workout...mainly cardio...did a combat session... mind you I tend to get a better workout with my Tai Bo tape than in the "softer- session" with the club...but its better than just sitting on a bike or running the tread mill!!! Just got back into my shakes and Hydocut...so its all business now!!!! Had to buy stuff for a friend at work....looks like we have a secret society within the work invironment.....always good to have!!!! |

Well after being out of action for the last week due to the cold of a life-time...I am now happy to say....IM BACK!!!!!
Went to the gym...did a new set-up....Olyptical for 12 min...both normal and reverse (shyte did that kill any remaining bugs or what!!!)....then did my normal 15 min on the bike...then off to do a normal legs session...only this time I've upped the anti to 5 sets of 15 reps...for me in this condition..it almost ended my night!!!! Then I did a further 15 min on abs....back to the treadmill for another 5 min...yep...gelly legs then had to make it to the change rooms without looking like a cripple!!!! You may have noticed....no playmates tonight...thank god!!!!!! Due to not really wanting to eat too much over the last week...and having to put in a solid week of shiftwork...the food side has stayed relatively sane!!!! Whenever I started to feel a little flat...I'd munch on an apple....about the only thing I actually felt like....but drank heaps and heaps of shakes....kinda glad Im on them!!!! My wonderful B'day coming up this week....yep another year closer to getting that tattoo!!!! Only I have to take in a cake for work...so it looks like the good old fashioned chocolate cake is in for another spin....they can eat it....I plan to stick with my shake!!!! Hell....If I have to make the bloody thing....some other sucker can take the calories!!!! Catcha on the flip side!!!! ![]() |

Scales are your worst enemy. As you already aluded to, (And you'll probably NEVER hear a man say this again.) SIZE does matter. What you weigh doesn't mean a damn thing, it's your measurements that matter. You're losing fat but at the same time you could very well be GAINING muscle. Since you're getting stronger I'd be willing to bet on that. Anyway, losing one and gaining the other means you can work your lovely a$$ off and still weight exactly the same. How depressing. How demoralizing. What a miserable de-motivator. BUT, if you're smart like we all know you are, you'll stick to keeping measurements. That way your weight may stay exactly where it is now but your SIZE will go down. Preciscely what you're trying to do, right? (Let's try not to lose too much off the top though, OK?) |

Yeah!!!
RIGHT!!! Do you REALLY expect me to TRUST you??? This I'm gonna have to verify MYSELF. Send them over and I'll take precise measurements just to make sure you're not exagerrating. As a matter of fact, just go ahead and send the whole damn package. No sense only going half way, right. ![]() |
