Aw, the kiwi's are so cute. I had no idea there was a bird called the kiwi! Glad I know now-next time I got shopping I'll buy kiwifruit, not kiwi!

ohh! i have fans?! 
Ok, so I didn't do as well as I'd planned but still did pretty damn good. I had every thing I said I would, and no extras....... But then... we watched a movie. I knew it was coming so instead of buying the usual bag of potato chips and eating the whole lot, I bought a bag of pretzels and some hummus. I ate 1/2 the bag (about 300 cals worth) and about 100 cals worth of hummus. The extra 400cals took my daily intake to about 1600. Higher than what i'd like, but it could have been a lot worse.
Tomorrow is going to be a bit more difficult. Breakfast and lunch will be fine, but at 2pm we are going to Wanganui (my old city) to visit my mother. She has insisted on taking us out to dinner for my birthday on sunday. We'll probably go to the Celtic bar where I can have a shrimp salad (which are huge) and I'll ask for my sauce on the side. Chances are I'll end up drinking too much, but I'll try really hard too be good. I'm going to take a container of yoghurt with blueberries with me for an afternoon snack, so I don't raid mums fridge for junk.
Mum has a tendancy to cook really greasy food for breakfast whenever we stay there, so I'll have to ask her not to cook me anything.

Thanks scrappy, I think I'll do ok, but I'm not going to lose it if I slip up, particularly if mum has put effort into food (I hope she hasn't).
Well, Its 8.30am and I'm giving myself a pat on the back for getting on the exercycle for 20mins while Mr.jennylee is here. I'm very self concious of exercising infront of him, even though he is still in bed, I'm scared hes going to get up and catch me doing it. But he didn't, and I did.
Breakfast
Small bowl of oats and a kiwifruit.
I'm going to try to remember to update while at mums too, she's got a computer, but it runs very slow.
I've got "Johnny be good" stuck in my head except Jenny instead of Johnny. Wish me luck for the weekend!!!!

I've had a bit of a rough time for the last few days, not diet wise thankfully but I've been struggling with my depression problems, hopefull I'll feel better soon. Mr. Jennylee let me down on my birthday by showing up to the dinner late, drunk and with all his friends who wanted to get on the piss at the restraunt/pub we were at. By the time he showed up, I had completely lost my appetite and didnt end up having dinner. All in all, he was being a complete ass the whole time. The next day ( my birthday) he spent the whole day wiring up his friends burglar alarm, but had just enough time to rush up town to buy me a present, because one of his female friends told him he had to (thank you KC!). She took me shopping because she felt sorry for me, and to be honest I was feeling pretty sorry for myself too.
I've taken a day off dieting because I'm feeling too horrible to have to worry about that. I'm not overly hungry so I don't think I'll overeat today.
Mr. Jennylee is staying out of town for a couple of nights working which is just plain annoying because I hate being alone when I feel like this. I just feel like crawling into bed and crying and just staying there forever, but I have to go to work this afternoon so its really not an option just now. To be completely honest, I wish that I had some weed. I haven't smoked in years but it would be the ideal thing today, to come home from work, rent "The Wall" wrap myself in a blanket and get stoned. I wouldn't even know where to get some in this town. I should be feeling better tomorrow anyway.
OH! btw, I lost 2kg (about 4lbs), even that can't cheer me up right now, but I know its a great thing.

Well that sucks. The road to feeling better hmm let me think………………I no??? Bend hubby over and give him one huge kick up the butt, the look on his face should at least put a small smile on your face im sorry your birthday didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to. Organize a big girls night out with your friend and make it your birthday party for your self (have done this for myself in the past and its always fun).congratulations on your weight loss that is a huge effort. Don’t let one thing take away all the effort you have put into yourself. You well kick yourself tomorrow if you do and your saving that kick for hubby remember

I'm sorry to hear about your crappy birthday. My ex-boyfriend pulled that kind of stuff on me all the time, the only difference is he would never think to get me a present, even if someone told him too. I'm glad you didn't give up on your diet and your 4 pound loss is fabulous! Keep your chin up!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNYLEE...Don't le the hubby get you down, because I know that feeling. I would suggest getting your toes or nails done and it will make you feel better. And the next time you are off from work do nothing. I mean nothing...sometimes we all need that "I am not getting out of bed day".

Thanks girls, your words do help. I feel much better now, still upset though, especially now that I just read that my depression support website is closing down on Febuary 1, so I'm scouring the net looking for another one that I like.
I had an off day, I don't think I over-ate but I certainly haven't eaten well today. No veges or fruit except for a handful of baby carrots I smuggled from the garden. I still feel a little down and in no mood for exercise, or anything else constructive. I really wanted a chocolate bar when I got to work today, so I had a tiny little fun sized one and that did the trick.
Tommorrow I'm going to get the house absolutely spotless, and then on Thursday, I have the entire day off and I'm just going to really look after myself, lots of veges, exercise, a bubble bath, get dressed up nice and do my hair up, full makeup, just for the sake of it. I bought myself one of those gym balls, but it didn't come with anything to pump it up, so I'll get one of those tomorrow. They look so silly, but fun.
Healthy eating Jennylee will be back in the morning.

Hey sister girl....men dont always get it but is doesnt mean they dont love us...in dec I had my birthday, christmas and new years all in one week, even though we went with friends and we had "get togethers" I got nada,,vilch, zero from him (the man of my life for 14 years, the mother of his three children, the light of his life...blah blah blah)...so I bought the most divine pink seude coat and handed him the visa bill...ya just got to work it girl. His excuse is he gave me Christmas money for the kids I was supposed to take care of myself too with it...so I gave him the bill for my french manicure, new dress, and a few lil bobbles as well, just to make him really happy. I figure he will make the effort next year
So go pamper yourself,...even a lil bit further than you normally would,..call up your girls and go out,...and have a blast!!!!!!!
Just to let you know I love reading your diary,..you have such a down to earth loving approach to life. I am sure that transpires in every thing you do and to all that love you. I know depression is just not mind over matter....but just know how special you are that you are appreciated by many,..and for those that dont know to express it, look for the other things they do to let you know...it may be small but its there...trust me.
congrats on the 4.5 lbs weight loss.....now go pamper yourself!!!!!!!

I read your journal everyday and it really keeps me motivated. We are here for you just as much as you are there for us. I am glad you are not giving up on your change of lifestyle plan, we all fall off, but the key is not to stay down......

Thanks guys! Isn't strange that encouragement and good wishes from people you've never really met can make you so much more positive?
I slept late today got up at 10am
Jumped on the exercise bike for a planned 20minutes but had the telly on instead of the stereo and found it a bit harder because I kept stopping to listen properlly, haha! Lesson learned, with the stereo on it feels longer but I am more motivated, I guess its true that too much tv affects your motorskills.
I achieved about 15 minutes, better than nothing anyways. I'll to another 20 this afternoon.
Breakfast:
small bowl of oats with lowfat milk.
lots of water
still hungry but will wait. Mr. Jennylee's not home again tonight so Dinner won't be a large meal, probably some fish. I'll try to force myself to make something decent with lots of veges.

1.10pm Lunch:
courgette (zucchinni) patties made with
1 1/2 cups grated courgette
5 tbsp white flour
2 tbsp oats
1 egg
salt and pepper
dash of sweet chili sauce
fried in a little canola oil.
I had a small hand full of cold roast chicken(no skin) as well because I felt I needed protein. I'm quite full now. I'm going to sit in the sun for a while now, Its half way through summer and this is our 2nd sunny day, the weather is crazy, so I'm going to enjoy it while I can, it might snow tomorrow!
