Go on...I dare YOU!!

prevention.com

OK so the challenge we have set ourselves for the year is......5,000km's by either bike or treadmill. This will equate to about 14kms per day. So this will be from tomorrow. I have actually divided it up a bit, going for 50km for the first week and slowly working up to 120kms per week to fit it in, plus take into account my fitness level. The plan is that by the time we head to New Zealand at the end of the year that I am fit enough to walk up to the glaciers. 

At the moment I struggle walking up stairs so it will be pretty cool. I will be going back to low carb from tomorrow to try to shift some weight fast, but my focus is going to be on healthy eating and fitness. Once I have that sorted the weight should go down. I am booked in for the doctor on Thursday to go back on the pill. I know that this is counter productive to having babies, but I gather 6 months on it, my cycle is back to normal, hormones will be back to normal and the weight should stabilize. so fingers crossed it works to plan. 

My next thing is that in a few days I will be 28. 28 is my adult number. No longer a young 20, I am inching towards 30. And there is a lot I want to achieve before I am 30.

I have a lot of inspiration, and am thinking I want to have a vision board up in the office in the next few weeks. But here is my list...keep in mind I have 2 years before I am 30.

1. Look sophisticated and put together
2. Be healthy and at a healthy weight
3. Be buying a house with my hubby
4. Have started our family
5. Be set in a career. Working towards my degree

These are my main goals. This in my mind says I am 'on my way'.

Another woe is me post.....

Ok so we are only a week out from xmas and what happens???? well, our car has gone kaput. So somehow we are going to have to get the money together to still do xmas, but also get the car fixed. Such is life I suppose. Still sux tho.

But anyway enough of crap.

We are having some awesome storms here lately. Massive rippers. We have another one coming now, I can feel all the tension in the air, it makes my eyes and head ache. We have a 25th to go to tonite, so hopefully it dies down soon.

Mr D has been his grumpy self the last two days. He is at this moment asleep. His bi-polar is playing up and he is not sleeping at night. Doing very well sleeping during the day though. Its driving me nuts. Im going to let him sleep though, hopefully he'll wake up in a better mood. I am starting to wonder though how much of a good idea it was for him to give up the meds. It hasnt helped us in the way we thought it would. He says that he doesnt feel like he in a fog anymore, but it sure as hell isnt helping with moodiness, aggression and sleeping. Plus Im more than a lil worried the panic attacks will start again. The spending is definitely starting again. Grrr....maybe he'll be able to sort his shit out. At the moment he has no interest in trying though.

With me, well Im getting more than a little upset about the baby and weight stuff. I know I have to lose weight to have a baby, but its so freaking difficult. Especially having 4 other adults in the house that eat so much crap.  And Im so sick of hearing that I shouldnt diet, I should just eat healthy. Well news flash, thats obviously not working. I put 10kgs on every year trying to just eat 'healthy'. The doctor has spoken about weight loss surgery, and part of me really wants to do it, another part has no interest in it, and is so disgusted in myself about having to consider it. And I know so many of my problems will go if I can just even lose 10kg. Though I really want to lose 40-50.

Our goal this week was to start a Michael Thurman-ish type diet. Low car broken down into 5 meals, with 45 mins exercise daily and 3 Litres of water. We havent gotten anywhere close to that. It doesnt help that xmas is upon us. But we are both feeling the pressure of his mum arriving on Friday. They go on so much about D's weight. He feels so much pressure from them, and when they leave I am left with the consequences. I am dreading when she leaves this time. We go through a month of him over dramatising everything until I snap and tell him to get over it. I dont think we could survive living closer to her.

We also have to set up the office this week into a 4th bedroom. We will move the computer out and into probably our room, and put a bed in here. Thankfully it means that we will actually clean out the office. It is greatly in need. We have been wanting to rearrange in here anyway. After new years will be our chance. I might try to pic up another desk so that we can put both in here. D is starting his own blog now, and spending more time on his website, and I have mine and the 3 websites, plus uni. So definitely time to make room.

I have been thinking of making a second website, and doing more home deco/organisation. But Im guessing that will come together later if I need it to. The plan is to have two websites, one for organisation, and one for etiquette and grooming. The organisation one, for homes, the etiquette ones for people like me. Basically my journey from crap to fab. Though I could probably put that into this one. I just would like to eventually do talks and stuff on it. Probably best to put on here, keep things simple.

Getting healthy

noodlepadoodle.com


I have my appointment with my gyno tomorrow. I have failed to lose weight (I gained 7kg) and I am really unhealthy. I have been following a lady on twitter who has done a detox for the last week or so and is doing quite well. It's time I did another. It has been probably about 4-5 years since I have done a proper cleanse. I keep wanting to but never really follow it through. I am super unhealthy, living on pain killer and have to break this cycle. I will be doing fruit, veg, nuts and leave white meats. I am hauling D in for the ride. Thankfully we freakin get paid tonite. 

On the home front, I rehomed my beautiful Bella last night. 


We had to get rid of her friend a few weeks ago as he kept digging and we are in a rental house. Since then she has become lonely and moping. She unfortunately also decided she was going to attack small animals. Since we are about to start fertility treatments we realised a. we dont have the time she needs, and b. do we want her around a baby. We have been keeping her inside so honestly it was time for her to be placed somewhere else. We found a wonderful lady who had a 1 year old boy who needed a friend. She is super wonderful with her boy, and I believe Belle is going to love her new home. Though this didnt stop me sobbing last night having to say goodbye. I am very very grateful to the wonderful lady for helping us, but feel a massive amount of guilt that I gave away my girl. 

Housewise, we are doing ok.Kitchen has been cleaned each night, and more and more crap is being put away. I am hoping to sort out the office this weekend, and that will be the last room done. From there it is just a matter of tidying each day, and doing a thorough, deep clean. I am hoping to do this over the next few weekends before xmas. This will be one less thing taking up my time and energy.

Its been a long time

Good morning all,

Yep its been a long time. My lil sis broke her neck not long after my last post, and after 2 weeks of hospitals and doctors got put into a halo brace. We are super lucky she is alive.

So what else is happening???....well we have been going a little crazy getting furniture (we were missing a lounge dining chairs), in-laws are going crazy, hubby's bi-polar was going a lil nuts, work has been hectic, and we finally decided after 2 weeks of foster training to put it on hold for a little bit. So yeah things have finally calmed back down. I am now back to the gym, we are slowly taking all gluten out of our diet, and we are back on the whole trying for a baby thing. We had taken a break for the last few months.

So my plan for the day, work, library, gym (body balance) and then home to my wonderful husband. Oh and to do a lil more of my crocheting....(I'm learning to crochet a blanket :D)
