finally.. a LOST that makes sense

My 2 week weigh in has arrived...

since i started I have lost 2kg which is 4.4 pounds :)

I am happy with this result as I am already feeling a bit better... I need to keep going though...

I should join a gym.. but i don't wanna go too hard too fast... cos that might get me saggy skin... and thats gross..

not that i have stretch marks or anything or that i am obese... but i dont wanna push my luck :D

I hope you all enjoy your weekend

the D cup is the biggest...

Cuppa Cuppa Soup Soup...

getting a bit fond of these... they come in a great range too...

just don't add to much water or cuppa soup becomes cuppa broth.

and it aint too tasty...

Woo weekend away soon...

the road is long.... and he is heavy !

Well... its day 4 of my diet...

I think I am doing well... the first few days were so hard.

This morning I felt fantastic after a walk to work and a nice drink of water flavoured water.

But now its gotten to mid afternoon.. I am geting hungry for something more ...

I didnt eat my usual solid breakfast today as I am alternating shakes for breakfast and dinner - but i will have grilled chicken for dinner - nummy :D

Not long till i weigh in on saturday... I am hoping for 2 kilos... but i'll be happy if its 1

the white whale....

Well I have done my first weigh in..

I am officially 99kg or 218 pounds.

My goal weight is 79kg so I have 20 to lose.

Today will start the day with my regime that got me to 79 last time.. at least 1hr of exercise everyday and diet - no carbs or sugar.

I will be walking to and from work each day from now. I will change at work :)

Wish me luck... I'm going to miss all my delicious food.

PANIC ! at 4am..

I awoke this morning in a sweat... and short of breath and a half pass out...
I had a panic attack.

I am not in a very good financial situation at the moment as I have let debt run over me.

I can get myself out of it.. but it will take a lot of effort - lucky I have great friends to get me through.

In some ways the regrets are minimal - cos I have had so much fun overseas twice and bought a whole bunch of stuff. - Now it's time to be an adult.

I applied to consolidate my debt and a previous loan I am paying out... Here's hoping I get approved.

If I get approved I will be able to focus my attention to one spot - rather than 2 or 3. I already had a consolodation loan in 2008 - but again with my stupid spending it went right back to where it was.

I have felt guilty secretly about the money I owe.. but this time I know I can do .. i just need help.. and Im not afrraid to ask this time.

What I will also do to mark this occasion Is to start my ' Life changing' diet.

I was inspired by my dear friend Aaron and this weekend will be the start. I will give regular updates of how I am progressing...

stay tuned for the weigh in tomorrow.....

once more with feeling...

I have had a song in my head since wednesday evening... It's driving me absolutely batty !

It's from Music and Lyrics the movie.... ' A Way back into Love '

How does one get rid of a song like this ?

I have been listening to the radio all day.. but it's still there..

Maybe a weekend of non stop musicals and Disny movies will do the trick...

until then...

*sings *
All i Wanna do is find a way back into love..

I am really looking forward to seeing Cookie again in a few weeks... Thanks to the Queen for letting us celebrate your birthday - we get an extra day off work.

I fly down early saturday and return late tuesday. Cookie will be away in Adelaide till Sunday arvo but It will be good to see him again.

I plan on cooking a nice big meal for him on his return - something delicious and a sweetie for dessert.

I don't know what kind of person i would be without him in my life.

A lifelong friend and my family forever.

Here's to you Cookie magoo munkey penguin buddy boo....

a Brisbane state of mind....

For those of your reading this.... you should know that tonight is one of the most important sporting events for QLD

The State of Origin !

NSW vs QLD in a rugby match to end all rugby matches... well until game 2 happens anyways..

One sad thing this makes me realise is that in 2 weeks time.. it will be 1 year since I was in Canada... I missed game 2 and instead spent my time camping with gay cowboys...

Of course I will be supporting my QLD boys as I am a proud QLD Aussie !

Go the mighty Maroons !!

the silence of the lambs....

One thing that is going to give me a lot of flack is the next sentence...

I am getting a bit tired of gay rights activism... I can see the appeal and the reasoning behind it... but it seems to be going no-where.

I understand a lot has changed in the last 15-20 yrs... but everything has.

I am all for equal rights... but im not sure if the whole gay community know what this means...if we have equal rights.. we are no longer considered a 'unique community'.

If we got equal rights.. the mardi gras and pride festivals should be cancelled... there is nothing anymore to celebrate - we are no longer a part of a unique diverse community - we are the same as everyone else.

Or if they keep the pride festivals - does that mean they are allowed to have a straight pride festival ?? I highly doubt it.

Yes i want the right to marry who I want to - and to be able to feel un judged when I walk down the street with my partner hand in hand.

but this seems a long way off... and I'm ok with that.

I would like to apologise to Aaron in advance for this cos i know he is gonna hate this post... LOL..

welcome back...

Well well well...
I am terribly sorry I haven't blogged for a while.. I put it down to laziness.

I wish I had more to say... but my break is over for now...

We are moving to new building soon and using a new puter system.. lots going on.

In regards to my private life... not much happening..

I will post more later :D
I hope you people out there are being nice to each other..

And congrats to Aaron on his great weight efforts... no more mint slice for you piggy.
